Just hire them! The entire team at Kitchen Encounters and all of their subcontractors far exceeded my expectations. I can't say enough good things about this company and would recommend them to anyone! Personally, I will not bother to try and find someone else for my next project because I'm sure they wouldn't measure up anyway.
The project and communication was best-in-class from the start of the design to the last nail. They clearly value quality and integrity in their work. Everyone at Kitchen Encounters and all of their subcontractors were courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and skilled at what they do. They handle the unexpected with ease. When I needed some work that was not on the original contract, they helped me get what I needed. Unexpected things happen in a large project (kitchen, bath, windows, doors, floors) and they worked through all of it with me.
All of this made the experience of having my house in chaos for a while - nearly pleasant!

We recently had Kitchen Encounters re-do our 1950s kitchen, down to the studs in most places, with re-painting, new flooring, enhanced wiring and plumbing, new cabinets, and replacing some appliances. We’re thrilled with the outcome and have nothing but praise for the process. Dave White and his team had a highly coordinated and reliable schedule, with excellent communication—a call every day to hear and address any concerns (there were very few!). Communication was good also with and among their set of contractors, each of whom were friendly, trustworthy and experts in their skills. Planning and design were easy with their help: we trusted their judgment on the cabinet interiors and were very happy with their choices. Getting your kitchen renovated is very disruptive, but the great communication, the reliable schedule, and the friendliness of the workers made it go easily. Our new kitchen is so beautiful and, with better ergonomic flow, is a joy to work in.

Kitchen Encounters? Should be Excellent Encounters! Very pleased with the timeliness and quality of work. The Project Manager was responsive, knowledgeable, schedule driven and did I mention responsive? She kept us informed and she made sure that what they said they would do - they did it! The craftspersons were all professional, courteous and performed quality work. Our bathrooms look wonderful! I’m glad we chose Kitchen (and bath) Encounters!

Dave, Eden, and the rest of the team at Kitchen Encounters were truly outstanding. Initially, we contacted them to remodel our kitchen, but then asked them if they could suggest a contractor to handle the remodel of our entire house, including things like replacing our bathrooms, lights, interior and exterior doors, flooring, trim, rails, and entire-house fixtures. They told us that they could handle all of that, and that is exactly what they did. They gave us a daily schedule of what work would be completed, and they kept us updated throughout the entire process. It was really great to know that things were on track every day. They completed the work right on schedule, as promised. Their team and subcontractors were very professional and also very friendly. They were respectful of our home, and they took the time to do a quality job. I cannot recommend Kitchen Encounters enough!

Could not have been more pleased with our kitchen and bathroom remodel. Dave, Eden, and their whole team became part of the family while doing the work, and they overcame so many obstacles that couldn’t have been foreseen given our older house. The outcome is completely amazing, and we absolutely love it!

We are extremely pleased with the renovation! Kitchen Encounters replaced our first floor flooring, completely renovated our kitchen, and second floor bathrooms, which brought our 1990s home up to date in a spectacular fashion. They achieved this through great worker integrity and communication. We were very pleased with them sticking to the work schedule presented prior to the renovation start. I received a call each morning communicating the expectations for the day which I found remarkable.
This renovation was headache free that resulted in a beautiful outcome.
Thank you for your integrity and the beautiful, functional outcome.

I cannot say enough good things about KE! The KE staff are fantastic, from Dave doing the design, Eden as project manager to Danelle as the coordinator. Every single subcontractor was the best that I have ever dealt with in their respective field. Competent, neat, dependable, friendly and even tolerant of me asking stupid questions. I would not hesitate to bring them back for more work and highly recommend them.

We started our search for a kitchen designer and considered three companies. Hands down the best choice was Kitchen Encounters!
Dave White created a beautiful design that used the space we had and made the area much more functional. Once the contract was signed the project started with efficiency and stayed on track for the duration of the project. The subtractors were all very professional and friendly and to top it off…they were neat and tidy!
Eden and Gwen were so helpful in guiding us through the process of choosing cabinets, tile, flooring etc…Their knowledge of colors and textures guarantees a beautiful outcome.
The communication with Kitchen Encounters during the renovation was stellar. If an answer to a question was not immediately known there would be an answer by end of day. Their patience with people renovating for the first time was amazing and they gave thorough explanations.
You will not find a better design team than Kitchen Encounters. A++

Kitchen Encounters transformed our dingy, dated second floor bathroom into a clean, modern oasis. Dave, Eden, and the rest of the office staff were diligent in keeping us informed every step of the way. All of their subcontractors were professional and tidy. And their work is impeccable! Our bathroom looks so phenomenal! See for yourself …

My wife and I could not happier with our new Kitchen (which turned into most of the 1st floor!). From our first interaction with Dave, to our daily updates with Eden to the quality and personability of every crew, we have been beyond impressed. Dave and Eden worked with us to come up with a design that met our needs and budget. As we added things on, they exceeded expectations and very importantly with all the add ons still finished on the date promised. For anyone looking for quality work done by professionals with choose Kitchen Encounters. We would again!

Dave and team. Thank you for my beautiful new kitchen. It is more than I imagined it would be or could be. Dave, I appreciated your ideas and so happy I went with them. You took my kitchen from the 1960’s and brought it into 2024. Your entire team was top notch. I’ll be calling you soon to discuss my bathrooms. I would recommend Kitchen Encounters to anyone considering a home renovation.

Kitchen Encounters did both a kitchen and a bathroom remodel for us. First, their design work was amazing. Miraculously, the kitchen has more counter space and more cabinet space while appearing to be larger and more open. It's also more functional and brighter. The house presented numerous challenges which were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Everyone who came to the house was friendly and professional. Finally, the communication throughout the process was outstanding! Thank you!

We used Kitchen Encounters for our kitchen renovation and we couldn’t be happier! Dave listened to what we wanted and came up with a beautiful design, we get so many compliments on the lovely upgrade. The daily calls from Danelle and frequent check-ins with Eden to let us know what to expect each day and answer any questions or concerns was so helpful to manage our own lives around the project. The team working on site were on time, very friendly and knowledgeable, and cleaned up at the end of every day. We will have them work on any future projects and would highly recommend them!

Kitchen Encounters performed a remodel of a bathroom and finished out our basement. We had a great experience with them! Our project was very complicated for various reasons including using a stone mason for the basement walls. Dave and Eden were always calm and ready with solutions. They provided a schedule for our three-month-long project and stayed on that schedule, along with providing me with a phone call each morning with a rundown of who was going to be in the house that day. All of the contractors were respectful of my home and my family. The project looks beautiful and we are so glad we did it and so glad that we used Kitchen Encounters!
