Hi, I am trying to start the research on rennovating my kitchen. We want to get new cabinets and countertops. We also need help with the design. My husband would rather find a local person rather than pay the hiked up home depot prices. Does anyone know someone who does this? We live in east Gilbert. Any advice or referrals would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

What can I do next?

I just remodled mine this past summer through Lowes and I found there people and process to be so much better and affordable then the Depot. Locals are the ones that have high charges! You can take your own measurements at first and the peole there can design something for you and give you estimates. The depot says you must pay for the measure before they even sit down with you( huge turn off for me!). We did our entire kitchen including demo for about 12,000. An excellent price considering the outcome. Ig you would like to see before and afters email me at ____@____.com

Hi M.!
My name is G.. I run a small DayCare in E. Mesa but also live in Gilbert and love it! I do know of a guy who remodels kitchens and actually is really excellent at what he does. He is a perfectionist which is always a plus when it comes to things like that. I really don't know how much or how he charges or anything. If you are interested in talking to him or have him come over to your house and give you an estimate I can find his phone number. He worked in one of our friend's house and did a really, really nice job. He also lives in Gilbert which may be of help too. You may call me at ###-###-#### if you want the #. Good luck!

I highly recommend Kitchen Solvers, owned by Keith Wolfram. He sells several cabinet lines, but what is really special about his company is that he sells Neil Kelly cabinets, which are formaldehyde-free. We are putting them throughout the new house we are building. Keith and the people who work with him (counter fabricator, framers, etc.) are very skilled and totally professional.

Note: I don't know if it's possible to pay less than you would at Home Depot, which sells inexpensive brands. On the other hand, your cabinets will be MUCH nicer, and far healthier for your family, too.

His number is ###-###-####. I just realized that I have his personal e-mail address, not his business one, so I'll just post his phone number for now.

His name is daniel and if you would like you can write me and I will be glad to give you his number!! He does usually include the sink in the installation, you just have to ask him. He is super nice and does a fantastic job!! I was very pleased!!

Hi M.,

I would recommend "A Woman's Touch" from Gilbert - maybe you can do a search for them - I don't have the phone number at this time, but can get it if you want. The designer's name is: Rhonda Pawlack - she is fabulous and will give you a great price!! She just remodeled our Master Bedroom and it looks awesome! She and her partner (both women) put in the floors, lighting, cabinets etc... Let me know if you'd like more info - in the mean time I am going to try to find her phone number! Brenda
