Dream Kitchen Designs — Local services in Stratford

We would 1,000% hire Dream Kitchen Designs again!

We wanted to completely renovate our kitchen, and compared quotes from a local business, Dream Kitchen Designs (a.k.a. DKD) and a big box store (Lowe’s). Right from the beginning, DKD was extremely responsive and personable, whereas Lowe’s was the complete opposite. We decided to stay local and hire DKD, and we are so incredibly happy that we did!

Quoting: Andrei and Andreea always answered our many questions (big and small). Whereas, we had trouble getting in touch with our Lowe's kitchen contact based on her store schedule and lack of a direct extension. DKD also easily beat Lowe's prices (Lowe's subcontracts so their prices were inflated). Also, DKD allows you to buy whatever materials (flooring, backsplash tile, grout, lighting, etc.) from whatever store you choose, whereas at Lowe's, you must buy from their limited choices.

Timeliness: Andrei and his crew were on time every single day, and worked diligently and meticulously. These guys don't waste time. They also asked to work each Saturday, which we were always cool with.

Quality: All of the work was superb (complete demo, new floors, new cabinets, new countertop, updated electrical & plumbing, painting, etc.) and finished within the estimated timeframes initially given. There was a great sense of care and attention to detail for each phase of the installation. We're beyond thrilled with the final results!

Communication: Andrei and Andreea’s communication was always clear and frequent, which we especially appreciated. It was very personalized service and Andrei is very open to phone calls and text messages.

Note: DKD may seem new since they opened the kitchen storefront 2 years ago, but Andrei and his team have been in business for many years.

Our kitchen is now incredibly gorgeous, and we can’t stop admiring it. It's hands down the best room in the house. Again, we would 1,000% hire Andrei and DKD again for any...

5.0 star rating 7/20/2019 First to Review I honestly do not know where to start. It is hard for this review not to come off like a paid one! That said, we are so happy for this one stop shop's help in building our perfect kitchen that I felt more than compelled to write one:

First, Dream Kitchen Designs was recommended by a close friend who said the owners are fair, honest and do great work. I could not agree more. Andrei and Andreea, the married owners of this business, make such a wonderful team. Together, they help you come up with the perfect solution for your kitchen - from a beautiful design, to working within your budget, to high quality execution.

The best part is they have their own storefront where you can meet live and review and evolve the plans, look at samples of cabinetry and more. They handle the entire job, soup to nuts, unlike other kitchen contractors who ask you to handle/hire for certain pieces of the job yourself. Using technology to demonstrate the layout through panoramic models, I gained a comfort level with the look and feel before the work began, and was able to impact and shape the design with them as well. At the shop and/or home, they will meet as many times as needed to get to the perfect plan.

Also, a major point, is they are both proactive and responsive in communicating with their clients. You never feel like you are in a vortex awaiting a next step, for example, or that a lot of time will go by before you receive a reply to your inquiry or thought. The process moves along seamlessly and within the timeline that was promised.

Overall, Andrei, who does both the primary planning and contract work with his diligent, great team, is passionate about what he does and is a perfectionist in the best of ways. He is collaborative and keeps the process creative, fluid and evolutionary, which can be hard to find in a contractor. Most of all, the results...

We did a lot of research before we chose Dream Kitchens to do our kitchen remodel and we now know we made the right decision. After meeting Andreea at the showroom and choosing Designers Choice cabinets, (all of the cabinet choices at Dream Kitchens are of superior quality, believe me we did our homework! ), Andreea went right to work on designing our kitchen based on my measurements and specs. Andreea gave us many options on layout and was very knowledgeable about the products and design. No matter how many changes we made, Andreea addressed each one with a smile and a positive attitude. We then met with her husband Andrei at our house. I told him my ideas, he helped me tweak them, before we finalized our design to paper. Andreea provided us with a list of vendors for countertops and tile.There was never any pressure to use their vendors or their installers, but it was very nice to have these options. Andreea and Andrea are extremely knowledgeable and professional. As with any project there are going to be hick-ups. We had a cabinet and two doors that arrived damaged from the manufacturer during shipping. I called Andreea regarding this issue, within minutes of my call, she returned my call. Andreea assured me that the issue has been resolved and new products are shipping out to us. We couldn’t be happier with our new kitchen and are very grateful to Andreea and Andrei at Dream Kitchens! I would highly recommend this dynamic duo to assist you in your kitchen remodel !
