Kitchen Designers Plus No Longer In Business

I have a very small kitchen, less than 10 x 10, and although I didn’t need bigger I did need a space that was more efficient and modern.
I had an idea of what I wanted and Kelly helped bring my ideas to life. We had some challenges – I am very tall and my husband is in a wheelchair –so this very small space had to accommodate both our needs.
Kelly had the answers - and although she couldn’t give me the self- cleaning kitchen I was after - she did make helpful suggestions about floor & counter types.
When I was unsure about the backsplash, the handle styles and counter colour she took the time to point out pros & cons that were specific to my needs.
I have a dream kitchen- the kitchen fairy didn’t make it bigger or self- cleaning but she did make it beautiful and oh so efficient- it is a joy to work in.
My thanks to Kitchen Designers Plus and Kelly – it is nice to deal with professionals.

In 2009, Pat Noddle redesigned my small kitchen significantly improving both its functiionality and beauty. She moved the location of the sink that then created a nice size counter run thus improving the kitchen's functionality. As well, she listened to my ideas and incorporated these tweeks into the design. I am still as thrilled with it today as in 2009. Pat was great to work with.

John Vanderkolk from the Mississauga office was our project manager.
To start, John gave us some very specific design suggestions that we initially resisted. Once John explained his thinking, he won us over and a year later, we are extremely satisfied with the layout changes he recommended.
In terms of the budget, we received other quotes. As John outlined in the quote, they use high quality products and suppliers - you don't have to constantly be "upgrading" everything. By contrast, our experience with another supplier during the quote phase was that they automatically assumed we wanted the cheapest of everything so all of the features we wanted would be upgrades. With John's quote, we felt confident we were getting a high quality kitchen and bathroom, without the constant "nickle and dime-ing" over every upgraded feature once the job started.
During the job, John's consistent and clear communication really exceeded my expectations. Once the job began, he laid out a timeline of the different phases and kept us up to date with a quick phone call every day or as needed. Just a few minutes each day was enough for us to give him feedback on the work from the previous day and ensure that we were ready for the next steps.
Not surprisingly, there were a few hiccups in the job - table not the right size and wrong tile on the back splash. John handled these events with calm and patience, reassuring us that it was his priority to ensure we got what we wanted. Although each of these events could have turned into mini disasters, the way that John handled them turned them into positives - again, his support and drive exceeded our expectations.
The job was done on time and on budget. We love our new kitchen and powder room and look forward to using Kitchen Designers Plus for our next project!

We had a great kitchen and bath renovation experience with Pat Noddle at kdplus in Mississauga. We walked into the Dundas street location with nothing but a desire to renovate. Pat helped us think through a design that fit our needs; not just where to put the fridge but also, where to put the computer, where to hide all the cords, and where to keep the shoes that pile up at our kitchen's backdoor. Pat also helped us pick materials and finishes by showing options and making us feel very comfortable saying yes or no....it was defintely our kitchen, not hers, which is not always how you feel with design consultants. We would definitely use Pat again for a kitchen or bath reno. She was professional, patient, and helped guide us through a process that we had never been through before.

We would highly recommend Kelly from Kitchen Designers Plus in Oakville to all our friends. At the start of our design process we had approached many kitchen cabinet companies, but Kelly was the one that really took our space and designed a kitchen that met our vision aesthetically and functionally, and within our budget. We found KDP online and after browsing through their past projects, we had to go see their showroom. We were not just looking for a kitchen renovation, but a kitchen redesign. We needed a kitchen that was much more functional, something that our 30-year old kitchen seriously lacked. Kelly’s design met and surpassed that goal with her recommendations throughout the project. Our kitchen is now a dream to cook and entertain in. From start to finish the design and installation team did a beautiful job and we are very pleased with the quality of their products. As with all construction projects, there are always some deficiencies near the end, and our installers did an amazing job not only with the installation itself, but as well with correcting those few deficiencies and all within our tight schedule. I have worked in the construction industry for over 15 years and our kitchen project was a pleasure to get through. We had a very tight deadline that we had to meet in order to have our kitchen completed in time for an event at our home, and Kelly worked diligently to ensure that this deadline was met. We look forward to working with Kelly and Kitchen Designers Plus Oakville again in the future when we are ready for some other projects in our home.

My experience with Pat Noddle at Kitchen Designers Plus has been a very positive one. Having come in with "an idea" and Pat bringing it to life was wonderful. Pat was able to incorporate all of the design and 'functional' pieces into our new kitchen and fit it into our reasonable budget plan. I was always able to get Pat's advice on sinks, faucets, appliances etc. to ensure that everything fit into the new space whenever I called or emailed (before, during and after design and installation).

The installer, Johnny Cheng was terrific. Reliable and meticulous, installing the kitchen as if it were going into his own home. Johnny is a true craftsman who takes pride i nthe work he does.

Throughout the design and installation process, Pat and Johnny worked with us to ensure we were happy with what we were getting and how it was shaping up.

Kitchen Designers Plus truly focuses on customer satisfaction and getting the job done properly.

Renovating a kitchen can be terrifying for some and exciting for others - my husband and I fit into the 'exciting' category and we knew when we met Kelly that she was a perfect 'designer' match for us! We both had a very clear vision for what we were looking for in our kitchen which I am sure can be a challenge for any designer but Kelly listened carefully to all of our ideas and requests (including one from my husband about a raised portion of the 11+ft island that both Kelly and I were not 100% sold on!). She then went off with our hopes and created a set of drawings that not only reflected all that we were looking for, but elevated the kitchen to a new level! Interestingly enough, both Kelly and I loved what she did with my husband's island request - she took a potentially 80's feature and made it contemporary and indispensible - well done! Our kitchen reflects our design sensibilities and the functionality is outstanding! We are extremely happy with the craftsmanship of the Elmwood millwork and particularly the Cambria counters. The installation was on time and while all installations have minor adjustments needed, Kelly and her team were responsive and keen to make it right. Kelly has a warm and bright personality with a keen eye for detail and I would recommend her as a designer any day - she made the experience exciting and rewarding and we are absolutely thrilled with our completed kitchen!

Our kitchen odyssey began back in late 2010 when my husband and I decided to replace our original “builder installed” 20 year old kitchen that had clearly seen better days.

Over the previous summer, I had visited and interviewed kitchen designers from one end of the GTA to the other and talked to people about their own renovation experiences, before finally settling on Kitchen Designers Plus (KDP) this past October. I felt comfortable with my decision since it was based on their excellent website, customer feedback and the ease at which our designer, Stephanie Downes, could interpret my layman “wants and wishes” into something concrete and realistic (and affordable!).

Over the next few weeks, Stephanie, my husband and I planned the new kitchen. With the exception of the walls, everything else was to be replaced. Stephanie led us through the selection process – appliances…faucets and sinks….the granite countertop…flooring and backsplashes…cupboards and styles…lighting and plumbing. It could have been overwhelming but instead Stephanie made it fun. She even accompanied us on her days off to help us during the selection process and ensured the choices fit within the overall scheme of the kitchen and within our budget.

Demolition was a breeze and installation began to bear fruit from the months of planning: the flooring is awesome, the granite counters breathtaking, the cabinetry is amazing. Stephanie incorporated several lighting options, which meant we could alternate between soft to bright lighting: awesome! Of course no renovation is without some problems and ours was no exception: a sloped ceiling, a too-wide wine cabinet, a furnace vent relocation - but the finished product is more than we hoped or dreamed: a kitchen transformed from a 1990’s “melamine special” into one that we’re proud of.

With many, many thanks to Stephanie – for her patience (especially), her humour and her guidance through what was a new and uncharted process for us. No regrets (and wish we'd done it sooner).
