330 Richmond, Victoria Kitchen Designers and Renovators

“It is a pleasure to be involved with such a progressive company as Ultimate Kitchens and Bathrooms. From the Staff and Management, to the Design Team and On-Site Supervisors, they all share a collective passion and knowledge on how to provide their clients with a professional Kitchen and Bathroom renovation.”

“We first met Jo-Anne in 2001 as a recommendation from the director at the company I worked for. With my new house plans complete and a kitchen designed by a builder/draftsman (it was horrendous). My first conversation with her was about budget. I didn't have his budget, heck, I had next to nothing to work with and she agreed to work with what we had to spend and the space provided in the plans. Jo-Anne managed to increase our overall bench space for prep, our storage and the overall workability of our kitchen. We loved the narrow cupboard next to the fridge to store the mugs/cups/wine glasses - it made the flow so much easier. An additional glass door cabinet was included external of the kitchen which made perfect sense for my inherited crystal & china. It was more than we could imagine and her chosen colour palette in 2001, still looks current and modern today. Move forward to 2008, we downsized after children to a smaller modest house and on a budget, we were going to renovate the kitchen. A call to Jo-Anne and she changed the U shaped design to an L shape with an island bench with storage on 3 sides and additional banquette seating which our family love!!! The kitchen is a dream to entertain in and feed a young family. Such smart advice on layout, appliances and palette again. Now its 2013, we are building again - a townhouse closer to the city. First port of call after the "new" builder designed our plans was Jo-Anne. She has done the unbelievable again. As an added bonus, she has redesigned my laundry as it sits behind the kitchen - storage queen and appliance brains trust are what comes to mind when I think of Jo-Anne. We hope to start the build in the new year, I can't wait to see her plans come to life. What I love about this new design is that we have a narrow townhouse 6.5 metres wide and Jo-Anne has managed to construct a hidden wall of storage in the kitchen including study, an enormous pantry suitable for my war cupboard supply of canned & staple goods... just in case... an appliance cupboard that will hide my husbands coffee/breakfast mess and smart storage throughout the kitchen & laundry - all of this is hidden and our townhouse still looks large and open - I just close the doors and don't have to look at the mess created minutes before. Love it. I would say that I am an easy client, I think she reads people well from your conversations, but I would probably say that I have a high list of what I want, but I don't have a budget to pay for what I want. Jo-Anne has smart ideas that save your budget, but don't cheapen the end product. Spend wisely on what works. All that and she is also a great cook - oh your muffins were amazing - I have never been offered freshly baked muffins by my builder when I go in for a planning discussion... I just wish Jo-Anne designed entire houses... well I have never asked - she may? Thank you for everything to do with my kitchens. Wendy”

“We have just completed our kitchen renovation with Zesta Kitchens and couldn’t believe how stress free and efficient this company was to deal with. The co-ordination and communication was brilliant from the initial showroom meeting and design with Joe, his design perspective and working through our huge appliance cupboard all within our budget exceeded our expectations. Not only did we renovate our kitchen Zesta also matched to the living area a sideboard in matching Hampton style cabinetry and this now really ties in the kitchen and living area beautifully together – we love it! Thank you to the trades who were such a pleasure to have in the home from installer Darren to plumber Rohan and splashbacks Mark what a great team we are very happy with the final kitchen renovation.”

“We had the Kitchen Design Centre design and install our new kitchen. Nothing was too much trouble and Corey (our designer) was absolutely fantastic. I could not imagine a more professional operation. All tradespeople worked well together to get the job done in a timely manner with meticulous attention to detail. We recommended them to my sister for her kitchen as she was equally impressed....and she recommended to her friends who were also thrilled. Great work KDC!”

“I would like to thank Prue, Rex and the team at LTKI, for helping me turn my plans and ideas into the beautiful kitchen I am now enjoying. Their knowledge and friendly advice, along with their various suggestions, helped me to have my ideal kitchen within my budget, without compromise on the quality fixtures and cabinetry. I was given the timeline of their process involved, enabling me to organise my household well in advance. Installation went extremely well and with the minimum of fuss. I would highly recommend LTKI to anyone who values service, expertise and a quality product.”

“Susan provided practical solutions in a small space. We achieved exceptional storage that also decluttered the adjoining rooms in our townhouse as a bonus. We have storage that we can grow into without encroaching beyond our original kitchen footprint. The use of drawers of differing sizes has proven to be extremely practical. Susan was happy to work with our neutral palette but provided guidance that gave enough of a lift in the kitchen. Susan's recommendation for a cabinet maker gave us not only someone with attention to detail but a quasi project manager.. Our project was scheduled and used trades people that we have already used again. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Susan for your kitchen design.”

“I had particular ideas that I wanted to put into my kitchen and Smith&Smith were brilliant in helping to put that into the final design. Elise was very patient in understanding my needs and sharing her expertise. I am incredibly happy with the outcome.”

“Very professional approach from design consultation to installation - reliable, fair price, thoughtful design tips & excellent workmanship that resulted in great kitchen, bathroom & laundry cabinetry. Would thoroughly recommend their services.”

“Mint kitchens and Lindsay Williams both exude true professionalism and class! We have now used mint kitchens in three of our properties delivering outstanding and award winning designs . If it's a kitchen or bathroom you need you couldn't go past this fantastic company Jim and Jan Smillie”

“We are thrilled with our new bathroom! From the first meeting at the time of quoting, through to the final finishing touches, the GIA team was terrific to deal with - personable, considerate and really professional. It was fantastic to have the project managed by such experienced and knowledgeable people, and all completed for a competitive price. We've recommended the GIA team to friends, and will continue to do so.”
