Get matched with top woodworkers in Sparta, MI

"They recommended laying drain pipe out in to the lawn and placing a pop up. They did this on both sides of the back of the house. When it rains it drains across the top of my lawn right down to the beach where it washes out all my sand in to the lake. I have lost massive amounts of beach sand. When I contacted them their response was they don’t control Mother Nature when it rains hard. I told them it was a bad design and I need it fixed. NO RESPONSE!! I now need to hire someone else that knows what their doing. Very disappointing."

"I would strongly not recommend Kitchens by Katie for many reasons. I’m sharing my experience so that others have a much smoother remodel than I did. And there are a few things that were misleading, as well as some other things that I should have vetted myself but didn’t. First, there are things they DON’T do: they don’t do soft close drawers, which is a shame because that really elevates the feel of a kitchen. They also don’t remove old cabinets, you are responsible for that. They will tell you that Habitat for Humanity will come get it for free but that’s not true, it’s around $250.00. The workmanship: We were originally going to reface our cabinets in order to save the countertops from being destroyed, but decided to go with new because another contractor I know (not affiliated with Kitchens by Katie) was able to remove the countertops for the new cabinets. I should have canceled this entire job, but I didn’t want to leave the owner Mike at KbyK in a lurch. I regret that decision. Anyways, the installation: No protective plastic was draped around my kitchen so my entire house was filled with dust, which was a nightmare. The install was fine, but there are things that are part of their design that I know many customers wouldn’t like. I didn’t discover this until the job was completed. There are screw holes that show in the base of all my lowers cabinets, the drawer sides are unfinished looking complete with pencil marks and splintered wood pieces. The hole gaps for the pipes were not custom fitted so things would fall through the base of the cabinet. I pointed this out and their “fix” was filling it with yellow foam which overflowed and shows when you open the cabinets. Overall these cabinets are fine, but they don’t feel finished and don’t feel elevated in quality. As for the owner, i say proceed with caution. Mike has a condescending demeanor, and I have seen other reviews where people noted this. I had a meeting with his team after the job was completed to address the issues and he had a very difficult time keeping his composure. My husband even asked him to stop speaking poorly to me. Bottom line, if you are looking to remodel a kitchen, hire a contractor that can do all the other things, like disconnect and reconnect the water lines, etc. They aren’t required to reinstall your microwave, but they did that for me at least. It’s important to think about all these little things. I would say if you have a completely new build and are starting the full build out of a kitchen, then MAYBE Kitchens by Katie could be part of this mix, but why not just hire a contractor that does it all? If you need refacing, then possibly K by K, but you run the risk of destruction of backsplash and countertops (which happened to me, and Mike did fix, but the fix has so many flaws. I’m just moving on from this mess). Please consider everything here before hiring. I regret this decision. My contractor is coming back in to install soft close drawers, by the way. Mike quoted me $100.00 per drawer at 15 drawers. My contractor is only charging me $400.00 to fix. Please, please learn from my mistakes."

"Most of the work was performed by two young guys in their 20s. They were noticeably high and smelled like marijuana almost every day they were here. Within weeks the shower was leaking into the wall and causing mold and mildew on the other side of the wall. Water is still getting into the wall and under the flooring. If you want work performed by Cheech and Chong hire these guys. If you want work done by people who aren't high, you and may have to go somewhere else."

"He did a really good job. I'm very satisfied."

"Very happy with the entire process. Communication was great and Eric even brought Reggie to house the day before the job started to introduce him so I knew who to expect in the morning. Reggie and Cole were great. They took special care to respect my home and did incredible work. My wife and I couldn't be more pleased with the finished product."

"Great job to Kyle Loar and his team. Did excellent job on both my front deck and the back deck. Very good to work with. I highly recommend. Thanks Kyle and team. Rita D"

"May 2020 Moore & Sons Roofing cracked my cement driveway. They even inspected it and acknowledged that they cracked my cement driveway. After phone calls they decided not to repair or compensate me if I were to have it repaired."
