Report
Rick Gedney did a tremendous job remodeling our kitchen. The house is 150 years ago and had some difficult roof angles and Rick made is all work. We have had four kitchens redone in our 26 years of marriage and nothing comes close to the work that Rick did.

Report
Our kitchen had been updated in the 1980's by previous owner but needed tweaking to accomodate newer appliances. Kitchens by Gedney visualized solutions that fulfilled our need while maintaining overall look/continuity of the kitchen; it was important to us that changes not be obvious. I could not have been happier. I am willing to pay extra for quality service; onece cost was exactly as proposed and the 2nd project cost was a bit less (which helped with paying for new appliance!). If you want your project done right and professionally, this is the team you want!
