Olympic Kitchens Inc

We engaged Olympic Kitchens because it was important for us to have a quality custom kitchen design...there is a difference. Today’s kitchen has become the most beloved space in the home. Louie worked to create a warm and inviting aesthetic.
The end result – a beautifully crafted kitchen, modern, refined and perfect for our lifestyle and functional needs.

Louie has an attractive and true vision of space. He’s precise, knowledgeable and understands responsibility. Throughout the design process, Louie always arrived with a solution in hand. He was extremely diligent about making certain everything was in place.

Being in the building/development industry for over 10 years, I found the standard of craftsmanship and the meticulous attention to detail during the installation process highly commendable.

Olympic Kitchens we would like to say thank you. We are grateful for the attention you gave to us. You did a masterful job.

This review is long overdue. Olympic did my kitchen renovation almost 2 years ago. I had just purchased an 100+ year old Toronto home and was in the process working with my general contractor to re-do the entire main floor. Due to the awkward shape of the kitchen I was unsure of the best layout. the designer Andrea helped me figure out a nice functional design that made the best use of a limited space. Having lived with the kitchen with my family of 4 for the past two years, I can say we have been very happy with it. The quality of the cabinets and finishes are high, and stand up to the wear and tear of normal family life. Andrea was meticulous about making sure that we were 100%certain about the model of all our new appliances to make certain they would fit with the cabinets. The parts of the renovation process that I found difficult was some of the misunderstanding in commununication with the contractor on who was responsible for installing a couple of floating shelves.

We chose to switch custom cabinetry suppliers at the final drawing stage. This decision was not made lightly and had nothing to do with the quality of product but everything to do with the behaviour of Andrew.

It is beyond any logic why Andrew steadfastly refused to accommodate a custom request given the unique situation we faced with the limitations of our flooring choices and challenges of dealing with a century home. Does this company not purport to be a custom cabinetry designer? The only reason given was that it wouldn't look as nice. Is it not my ultimate choice, as the customer, of what I will and will not accept as a design work around? But more egregious was the lack of integrity in dealing with the issue. Andrew was verbally informed by my designer in early March that this accommodation would be required. Further, he was informed in writing with a drawing of the requirement on March 17th. At no time between the verbal/written notice and the receipt of the final drawings on March 31st did Andrew inform my designer of his issue with the request. This lack of transparency and failure in collaboration and communication is unacceptable to me. I will not deal with an individual who so blatantly has disregard for his clients requirements nor the company that supports this behaviour.

This issue was not the only time Andrew tried to circumvent my designer's role in my renovation. Behaviour, again, that is unacceptable but was given a pass at the time with a hope that it was not going to happen again. I can only guess that he is incapable of collaborating with another designer as well as an old house that offers its challenges.

Escalation to the owner resulted in a response that we need to keep the integrity of our process in tact and that they hadn't modified a design like our request. Three other high quality and reputable custom cabinet makers quoted that the modification requested is easily accomplished and that they had done it before.

I am truly fortunate to deal with a designer and builder of such integrity and capability that they were able to offer me an alternative high quality cabinetry solution which has a better design in the same timelines within an incredibly short period of time. No fuss over the customization and design recommendations that will provide better utilization in both the kitchen and family room.

We are very happy with our kitchen designed, built and installed by Olympic Kitchens in November 2015. We had a good rapport with Louie - the whole process went smoothly and was even completed ahead of schedule and on budget. We highly recommend Olympic Kitchens.

Olympic Kitchens recently completed the final cabinetry installations for our new house build. This included 2 kitchens, 2 bars, a mud room, a laundry room, and a master bathroom.

From the initial planning and design stages, to the site visits and sample selection, and right through to the final installations, this was one of the smoothest parts of our house build.

Our designer Andrea was a delight to work with, and is knowledgeable of all the latest trends and truly understands functional design.

The management team at Olympic has done a great job of combining values that come from a family business together with a high level of professionalism and customer service.

Olympic Kitchens was first recommended to us by friends. Andrew and the team from Olympic were great to work with. From the initial design to the final product we were extremely satisfied. They worked hand in hand with our contractor and made our lives quite easy. The project was finished in the timeline outlined. The installer from Olympic was maticulous and flawless in his work. We would highly recommend Olympic Kitchens to anyone considering new kitchen cabinets.

We have just completed the building of a new, custom house in midtown Toronto. Our kitchen is the centrepiece, the focal point of the house and a hub of activity - hence, it had to be done right. Needless to say, our decision to engage Olympic Kitchens was more than the right choice - the company exceeded our expectations! Their attention to detail, to getting it right, was exceptional. Our consultant was Andrew Bansley - not only was he personable, but an expert in the planning and design of kitchen spaces. His advice was directly on point with what we wanted to achieve and without question, our kitchen stands as a wonderful showcase of contemporary design and functionality. We love every aspect of it - not only how it looks, but more importantly, how it works. Our kitchen sparkles! Obviously, we cannot say enough about Olympic Kitchens - their service and end product stand as a testament to excellence. We recommend most highly Olympic Kitchens as your 'go to' kitchen designer/manufacturer.

Our experience with Olympic was excellent. The quality of both the workmanship and the design process resulted in a beautiful kitchen that we are pleased to have them display on Houzz. Andrew was particularly helpful in guiding us through the process and working collaboratively with us to make excellent choices. He was very knowledgeable and remained conscious of the budget involved. We would recommend Olympic to anyone considering a kitchen reno.

new kitchen, pantry and washroom were installed...representative came on more than one occasion to check the work and make any changes that we requested...staff installers went beyond what was requested...
