Amazing experience! Highly recommend Kitchen Encounters. My husband found them solely based on reviews, no other information and it was the best decision we made. Our kitchen looks spectacular! Every aspect of this process was seamless. Great communication, top notch craftsmanship, organized & thorough, clean & neat and great to work with! Thank you so much. This experience exceeded our expectations!

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!

From the start of the project till completion this family ran business was a pleasure to work with and the finish product is just wonderful. David White met with my wife and I to design our dream Kitchen. It was no easy task as A wall had to be removed to expand the former kitchen size. Dave gathered our ideas and also gave suggestions and then drew up the plan. We were provided a detailed quote depicting Material and labor. Once we signed the quote we were scheduled in and given detailed dates of work to be performed. To my astonishment they hit every single scheduled date! We were contacted every morning to check on how we were doing and to review that days schedule and to see if we had any questions. An assigned program manager checked on the job from time to time and met with us if we had any questions. The installers were very professional and courteous and made sure the job site was cleaned up everyday. We honestly couldn’t be any happier with the finished product. Thank you Kitchen Encounters (Dave White and family) for making our dreams come true!

I am happy to give Kitchen Encounters a 5 star review! They completely remodeled our kitchen. With such a big project, I was sure we would run into a few bumps - but I was wrong. The entire project and every communication was detailed, timely, and organized. I was impressed with every single employee and the work that was done - a lot of talent at Kitchen Encounters! It can be scary going into such a large project with a company you aren't that familiar but I can assure you that you will not be disappointed with Kitchen Encounters. They met and exceeded our expectations and will be recommending them to our friends and family.

Great experience with Dave and Eden and the entire crew who helped us renovate our home. Full renovation/design including new kitchen, new laundry room, new bathroom, and basically a full first floor renovation. Extremely responsive and great to work with, honest, polite, and great quality overall. So glad we found out about them and would use them for any interior renovation project.

Kitchen Encounters did a full remodel on our kitchen and 2 bathrooms - including the removal of a structural wall. We were completely satisfied with the full process - and the results. They were great to work with from the design through the renovation. Dave listened to us during the planning and came back with layouts that only required minor changes. During the actual construction Danelle kept us up-to-date on all the different contractors coming to our house (which was critical, since I work from home). Eden was always available by phone or on-site to answer any questions we had. Most importantly, the job came in ON BUDGET. No surprises or unnecessary change orders and we now have a kitchen (and 2 baths) we love.
