Kitchen Designers & Renovators in Shelter Island Heights, NY

“Juan and his team are amazing, the hidden gem you hear about! His honesty, integrity and fair pricing will blow you away as it is so rare in his business. We had a very intricate project consisting of a very large kitchen, 7 slabs of quartz and many waterfalls. Emily provided a comprehensive detailed design of the cabinetry from the concept and ideas we discussed with her at our initial meeting. We had no question what the outcome was going to be before the project commenced and Juan was able to tweak small things along the way. We knew he was the one to undertake a project of this scale and we were not disappointed. EVERYONE who walks into our home (from professional designers to friends) asks for the name of our designer and guess what, it was Juan, Emily and the team! His guys always arrived on time, had good communication and were very professional. If we ever had any questions or issues Juan was always available to immediately discuss with us. His advice and knowledge go above and beyond and his work is pure artistry and the best we have ever seen!!! Now Juan is working on our cigar lounge, can't wait to see his magic!”

“The jobs, kitchen and flooring, were very well done. They were clean, thorough in explaining issues and easy to ask questions. Definitely recommend them.”

“Steve replaced my over-island lighting and was quick, knowledgeable and professional! We went from one pendant to two and it looks perfect.”

“This is a husband-and-wife team. Renee handles the design and Ken acts as the contractor. Renee did a wonderful job helping us design our kitchen so that it functions well, and is stunningly beautiful. I showed her a photo of a kitchen that I loved the "feel" of, and she was able to give us the same feel without copying the individual elements of the kitchen I admired, and we were able to incorporate many custom features that are particularly useful to our family and lifestyle. Also, I was impressed that our kitchen is a very different style from other kitchens she has designed, reflecting my husband's and my taste. She has a wonderful eye for color and style, and was able to guide us and tell us if she thought something we liked might not look right (and she was correct). Ken manages his subcontractors very well, so that the construction schedule runs smoothly and the project is finished in a timely manner. Also, the quality of the people he hires is very high, and I was very comfortable having them in my home without supervision.”

“I had a complete bathroom renovation done by CNF and couldn't be happier with the quality and professionalism they showed throughout the project. All work was done around my schedule and completed in a timely fashion, even with minor changes we through at them throughout the job. Everything was right on budget and no hidden surprises, I will be using CNF for all my future renovations.”

“This is not a typical review, but our association is unique and I trust that yours would be the same if you were to select Irene Design as your consultant. We met Irene at a home show. We had been thinking about remodeling the interior of our home, but wanted a design consultant to work with us. We contracted with Irene Design to be our consultant. During the first visit to our home to take pictures and discuss with us, what we liked and disliked, I pointed out to her that the carrying partition on the first flow did not run parallel to the outside wall. Thus, any pattern in the flooring would also appear to diverge from the wall. Irene, immediately suggested that the tiles be installed at a 45 degree angle, which totally eliminated the problem. We then continued to work with Irene on the layout of the bathrooms, the wallpaper selection and the carpeting to mention only a small portions of the interactions we had with her in arriving at a design that met our needs and tastes. We had differences with Irene, but in each case Irene was always open to our suggestions. We would sit and discuss the pros and cons of each change and were always able to arrive at a decision that best met our needs. Once, we had finalized the design, we prepared a bid specification setting out exactly what we expected the contractor to do and what we would supply. This bid specification was given to 4 separate contractors including Irene Design. It should be noted that Irene had assured us that she would work with whichever contractor we selected to assure us that the design, such as the tile layouts in the bathrooms would be done as she had planned. While all four contractor bids were fairly close, Irene Designs bid was slightly less, so we selected them to perform the construction. At the same time we had also contracted with an electrician and a painter/wallpaper hanger. The electrician did an excellent job, however the painter made some serious errors in prepping the stair case walls for papering. After several attempts by the paper hanger to repair the problems, it became evident that all the paper in the stair case would have to be remove, the wall repaired and primed correctly and then repaper the whole area. Irene Design, on learning of this said that they would do the repair work at cost to help us out of this difficult situation. For these reasons, we highly recommend Irene Design if you are considering a remodeling project. If you would like to discuss our experience with Irene Design, we would welcome your calls”

“His ability to lay out a job is amazing,the cuts made around the Bathtub are perfect. The bathroom has one outside corner,I asked Bill not to use Bullnose tile around this corner, but to miter the porcelain tile. It came out perfect! The job is over one year old, and it looks like the day he finished it. I highly recommend him.”

“Jonathan took the vision I had for our living room and made it a reality. He shared his tips and introduced us to local antique shops and professionals. Old furniture touched up and reupholstered along with unique touches, like Moroccan window screens as valances, make the room feel personal and inviting. I would work with Jonathan again and recommend him in a heartbeat.”

“Beautiful work. Oakside refinished my basement for me and did a great job. Arnold was very good about letting me know about things that were not up to code or not done right on the previous work that had been done before we moved in. I would recommend them highly!”

“Kind, honest, carring, dedicated & passionate about her home design business . Every effort is given to each and every client no matter how large or small a job. Michelle approaches each project with a zeal unlike any other designer I have ever worked with. Her kind and gentleness makes it easy to work with her. I give her a ten star rating”
