We are extraordinarily pleased with the outstanding work performed by Monterey Kitchens. Over a fifteen month period while we lived in Boston, we renovated an old large kitchen, pantry, laundry, bar, and two primary bathrooms in a 1924 historic Spanish Revival Colonial. While the Downsview custom cabinets are high quality and built perfectly to the custom design specifications, we want to recognize Guido Ausenda and Victoria Berti, as they are exceptional people. They exceeded our expectations throughout the entire renovation project. They listened to us and they provided excellent design options appropriate for the property. Additionally, they delivered a broad scope of wrap-around services; sourcing/fabricating countertops, appliances, fixtures, flooring, tile and the installing of the cabinets. They were always easy to work with. Their guidance was invaluable to us in making decisions, and their CAD documents facilitated communications with us through Zoom meetings and for the contractor; roadmaps for sub-subtractor site preparation. Moreover, their help in sourcing other needed building materials was highly valuable.
Guido and Victoria’s performance made a challenging long-distance renovation project much easier for everyone and a wonderful experience for us. We can not thank them enough. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-quality, well-designed, and perfectly installed new kitchen, bar,...
   Read moreI really can't praise the dream team at Monterey Kitchens and Bath enough. Guido and Victoria are a pleasure to work with and everything was made easier for me because of their experience, support and talent. They took my kitchen project ideas and created spaces far above what I could ever imagine. I looked forward to meeting with them and watching my little kitchen space evolve before my eyes. I received so much attention it felt like I was their only client. Unlike my contractor, Guido and Victoria were always available to me. Always. Guido is an experienced, creative designer with excellent taste who thinks outside the box. He went with me to pick my stone and backslash even offering to drive me to the Bay area for more choices. Victoria did all the 3D plans in order that my non-3 demential brain could see exactly what the space would look like, as well as the plans to submit for a permit. Guido and Victoria helped me pick and buy appliances, which is not easy these days. Every detail was handled including buying hardware. They purchased for me so I got discounts. The three-ring binder they created was a godsend for the contractor. Guido and Victoria were my support system and I will never forget that without them, my gorgeous kitchen would not have happened. ...
   Read moreVery impressed with their services and the quality of their cabinets. We had a complete house rebuild after a fire. Our contractor recommended Monterey kitchens to help with design of our house. We have not made a better decision in rebuilding our house than hiring Monterey Kitchens. They helped us with every aspect of designing including basic room layout, floor & tile choice, lighting design, complete kitchen and bathroom design, appliance choice, and more. We were warned that rebuilding a house can be stressful and it was at times, but everyone at Monterey Kitchen was very responsive to help with questions and advice. Many sleepless nights for us were avoided. When a problem did come up, rather than point fingers and it did turn out to be a mistake of one of the subcontractors (not one they recommended, we were using a friend), they immediately came up with solutions. Months after they have been paid in full, they continue to help with advice and any questions. We did purchase our cabinets through them as well. While we could have found cheaper cabinets, the quality of both the product and the installation was worth more. So glad we found them and I couldn't imagine working with...
