Note that to sit down with a designer and get a quote, you need to set an appointment. I recommend calling ahead and arrive early to have some time to breeze the showroom before your appointment.

Annette, who designed my kitchen, was awesome. I knew I wanted a white cabinet, and their base model white (Quebec) cabinets were a great fit for my condo. Even though it's a "thermofoil" cabinet and not technically wood, it still felt and looked like a quality, sturdy cabinet.

I already had my dimensions, and she was able to draw out my kitchen perfectly. Her program also gave me a clear and accurate visual representation of what it would look like. I was impressed with how quickly she worked. She also gave great recommendations, like adding a small "arch" piece below the sink wall cabinet to give it that extra fine touch. My condo has a small 12" wide cabinet between the wall and my dishwasher. She suggested instead of having 1 cabinet, use it for 3 separate drawers. What a fantastic idea! Great place for silverware, cooking utensils, etc.

She also was able to tell me what exact dimensions I had to work with for my OTR Microwave, fridge, stove, and dishwasher. Thankfully I haven't bought them yet!

They sent out a guy to measure my kitchen to double check everything. He was on time and prompt. No drama there. I hope the installation goes just as smoothly.

To do my whole kitchen condo (galley style, 2 8' walls opposing each other) - about 12 pieces including granite countertops (25 sq. ft.), under mount sink and faucet, and cabinet hardware, was $5,500 installed. Just in case anyone wanted an idea of cost. I qualified for the 12 month financing but ended up just financing half of it.

I definitely recommend express kitchens for your 1 stop shop solution. I will update my review after installation, which hopefully goes without a hitch. Fingers crossed!

UPDATE: 7/20/16 - Express came in and installed my cabinets yesterday and it turned out perfect! They did my whole kitchen in just a few hours. I am super impressed. The countertop people are coming tomorrow to do the template. Overall this has been a great experience.

Thank you again for helping us find the kitchen that we were looking for.

I'm so excited about this renovation and I've been telling all my friends, family and co-workers about your great service.  Hopefully if they decide to do a kitchen in the future they will come see you or visit another Express Kitchen location.

Hi Humera, I just wanted to let you know that the cabinets and granite have both been installed in Nick’s house and they look fantastic!  Way better than what we could have imagined!!!  He is extremely pleased.  I received a survey call, last week, from Express Kitchen’s and I told her that we were very pleased and both the cabinet installer (Sam) and the 2 young gentlemen that installed the granite did excellent jobs!!  Everyone was a pleasure to work with, from you and your great designing, the schedulers for all the work being done to the actual installers.  I am glad we stopped in your store to inquire about the cabinets/granite and I would greatly recommend Express Kitchens to anyone/everyone.
 
Thanks again for such great quality of work,

Thank you Express Kitchens! We had no idea where to begin when we decided to renovate our kitchen. They walked us through the entire process especially with the overall design. Installation was done in two days and in the end we were under budget! I highly recommend stopping in and talking with one of their project managers. Great experience.

We got a great price on our cabinets and I highly recommend sitting down with one of their project managers. Renovating our kitchen was very overwhelming for us but they were able to walk us through the entire process and they designed a kitchen perfect for our space. The whole process was so smooth. Even the installation was clean and completed in a day! All that and the price was lower than three other companies we went to!

From the service to the quality and workmanship of their products, to the teams that installed the cabinets and countertops... ALL DEDICATED & KNOWLEDGEABLE. We could not be more pleased with the end result: don't bother to shop around... Express Kitchens is the best!

A friend referred us to Express Kitchens and we are so happy he did!  Express Kitchens helped us renovate our kitchen and two bathrooms.  They helped us with the designs and the installer did a wonderful job. The customer service has been very attentive through the process and after the installations were complete. We ended up with our dream kitchen at a great price!

I was a little concerned when I got such a low quote from Express Kitchens for my remodeling job, but the renovation was done very professionally. The installers knew what they were doing, they were very courteous, on time, and cleaned up their work every day. The staff really took their time making sure that I was getting what I wanted. What I got was a beautiful new kitchen without any of the traditional contractor problems you hear about.

We have just finished a long awaited kitchen remodel with Express Kitchens!  We kept putting off the project not knowing for sure what we wanted to do with so many challenges in our limited space. Once we made an appointment with the design team we were thrilled to see that this was finally going to happen. The staff was patient and insightful while helping us to envision the possibilities of our new space. With their design tools and creativity they were able to give us several options we never dreamed possible. So don't fret and leave it to the experts at Express Kitchens, Highly recommended!

If you're looking for a high quality cabinet installer, then this is it! The installers were prompt and very professional from beginning to end. They were really knowledgeable about all of the products they carry so it was really easy to find the cabinets and accessories I needed. The original quote was spot on and I didn't have to spend any more money than I budgeted for. Awesome

We recently had a great experience with Express Kitchens in Hartford, CT. The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. They went out of their way to show us a variety of remodeling options. Their pricing was highly competitive which meant we saved money. Always a good thing! Their installation team arrived on time and did a wonderful job. I highly recommend Express Kitchens if you're looking for a professional company to help with your remodeling.

New kitchen is great, especially wine rack and island. Designers were willing to spend as much time as needed to meet our needs. The installers were very professional and had practically the whole install done in one day. Would and have recommended Express Kitchens to family and friends.

I'm a happy customer and wanted to tell you about the outstanding service HumeraRafique provided during my recent kitchen purchase.  She went above and beyond the call, promptly and cheerfully responding to my seemingly endless information requests and design changes, and working behind the scenes to ensure my deadline was met.  You have an amazing employee who exceeded all expectations. I will spread the good word about Express Kitchens and wanted you to know the reason.
Best wishes,
