"Just came back from visiting my husband's family for Thanksgiving and we are still oohing and aahing and chatting about our kitchen redo. Every single day John and I comment to each other how much we love the new kitchen.

Every time we slice apples or make chili, and most especially, every time we load the magnificent dishwasher, we feel lucky! The craftsmanship is excellent and I can tell it's going to hold up gorgeously against years of our energetic use.

Choosing Crafted Kitchen is one of the best decisions I've ever made ... right up there with choosing the apartment, and saying yes to John's marriage proposal. This year was just terrific -- completely transformative -- and I wanted to let you know you and your company played a large role in that!"

"We had the pleasure of working as a team on an apartment renovation project that involved joining two existing co-op apartments in a landmark context. Mr. Krauss and his company are able to handle most professionally any and all aspects of a scope of work as the 2,250 sq. ft. involved in this project..."
Dr. Livio D (architect)

"Everything here is WONDERFUL! I love it. Thank you so much!"

"I am very excited about the progress since the counter was installed on Friday. I absolutely love it. I spent most of the time I was at home over the weekend just sitting in there. It is truly gorgeous and you and your team have done an excellent job. Look forward to speaking with you about the bathroom and living room tonight."
Peter S (condo owner)

"I have just completed the second project performed by The Crafted Kitchen. As on the first project, I am very pleased with the professionalism and attention to detail of Tom and his team. They were sensitive to the inconvenience of renovation work and completed the project on budget and in a timely manner."
Phil S. (co-op owner)

I did a gut renovation of my kitchen and bathroom with Tom Krauss and his team at Crafted Kitchen. In the past, I have had work done in my apartment and have literally been in tears out of frustration. I interviewed several contractors, but chose Crafted Kitchen for many reasons: "They do their job by educating me." "I am respected and included in every decision." "They're always available to me." "They answer every one of my stupid questions...thoroughly." "They're completely professional, organized and punctual." "They're extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, highly skilled and experienced." "I tell them my objective and they give me great advice to achieve those goals." "They can handle my coop board (which is no small feat)." During the work on my apartment I've checked on the progress a few times. Upon entering the building, there was absolutely no evidence that work was being done. The lobby was neat and clean. When I opened the apartment door, I almost fell over. Everything that was not being worked on was sealed off to avoid dust. There were no piles of tools lying around. Everything was neatly organized. They had a certain respect for my home and personal items. 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended.

Pros: They're extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, highly skilled and experienced.

Cons: I wish that I had found them sooner.

Gary and I made our final decision about the kitchen renovation and we would like to work with you. We love your kitchen design--by far the most creative of the estimates we got.
Veronica L.

"The Crafted Kitchen teams are complete professionals, and Tom is a true gentleman in all of his dealings. The superintendent of my building was very pleased by how respectful they were of the building and the other residents. They kept the area clean and minimized noise during times when residents would be home. I used to go out and eat most of the time, but with my recently renovated kitchen I eat in most of the time; it has made my life easier, and entertaining a dream. The final product was better than I expected." 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended.
