Testimonials
I have worked with Empire Kitchen & Bath several times and I have always had exceptional service and workmanship. They have always stood behind their values to provide an excellent product. They have been very open to challenges that the projects have created and they have conquered them with great service. As far as timing and deadlines, they have been very good at creating the masterpieces within a reasonable time frame. I would highly recommend Empire Kitchen & Bath.
We hired Empire Kitchen & Bath to reno our kitchen over a 4-month period while we were out of the country which involved removing all existing cabinetry and installing all new appliances. They also upgraded our family area fireplace and cabinets and also installed new cabinets in the MB. We were kept apprised by email, with weekly updates and accompanying pictures. The work proceeded smoothly, with minimal issues and the few that arose were handled promptly and very much to our satisfaction. Empire kitchen staff were responsive, engaged, knowledgeable and most importantly, very available both on the phone and via email and being away from the property, the foregoing provided us considerable comfort that things were managed to our satisfaction. Ultimately, the work was completed on schedule and on budget – we have our dream kitchen, and the fact that we were away from home and not directly monitoring the work made no difference! We would highly recommend Empire Kitchen & Bath and are fans.
We originally worked with Empire to design and construct our kitchen ten years ago. It has definitely stood up to the test of time. Last month we chose to replace one of our appliances and required a new panel and help to install this new “drawer style” microwave. The whole Empire approach made it quick and painless. The panel was a perfect match and the care and attention to detail was exceptional.
Empire Kitchen and Bath worked with my wife and I in our new custom home to create a kitchen in which we love to live, entertain and cook; and bathrooms that are a peaceful sanctuary in which to relax. Stephanie worked with us throughout the entire process, from design, to the selection of materials, appliances and colors. Stephanie and the team at Empire Kitchen and Bath treated us with respect and patience as we worked together on this project. Every detail was important, and every aspect was addressed with meticulous perfection. We could not be happier with the outcome and will enjoy the kitchen and bathrooms that were created by Stephanie and her amazing team for many years to come. I would not hesitate to recommend Empire Kitchen and Bath.
We have worked with Empire several times over the last twelve years. They were incredibly responsive, professional and managed all aspects of the project which made the process seamless for us. Their expertise and attention to detail was evident from design to installation. The follow up we received was impressive and ensured that the project was completed to 100% satisfaction.
