We selected Inspiration Design for a kitchen remodel project that included a new quartz countertop, sink, faucet and glass mosaic backsplash. The final product looks fantastic. There were several things that occurred during the installation that were concerning, and that is why we rated them as a “B”.

We really enjoyed working with the designer and appreciated Nancy's insight and advice on the product selections. We also liked that Nancy was not pushy in advocating for particular products or designs – she wanted to be sure the design was what we wanted.

During installation, the countertop installers found out that the peninsula slab was not cut correctly. (This after a technician had spent 2 ½ hrs measuring the kitchen using a computer laser.) Luckily, the error could be resolved by cutting the new slab. They were able to get the new slab cut very quickly, and this only delayed the project by 2 days. The countertop installers did a great job. The slab needed to be seamed in two places, and these are barely noticeable.

For the plumbing hookup, we had a slow leak in the sink plumbing that was causing a calcified deposit on an intake pipe. We had asked Inspiration to fix this during the install. We had to call the plumber back once because the pipe was still leaking.

The backsplash tile looks great, but the tile install team did not do a good job cleaning up after themselves. I spent at least two hours cleaning cabinets and flooring after they left. They also left silicone smudges on our brand new quartz countertop. I found some mosaic glass in the grass in our front yard.

Inspiration had dedicated individuals for scheduling the teams, but there was a little hiccup in scheduling. The scheduler gave me a 12 to 2 window for the second countertop installation, but the team arrived at 8 am.

We are very pleased with our new kitchen – it looks fantastic and seems like it will hold up for many years. We expect that installation glitches can occur, but felt that Inspiration Design could have prevented some of the glitches.

"Did and excellent job repairing the seam in my granite countertops."

"Entire process went well.  Each and every time I communicated with Paramount, I got a quick and professional response.  They were able to answer questions regarding how to deal with my bar height overhang and creatively able to utilize invisible bracket supports to prevent the need for some type of external bracket or corbel support.
The price was competitive and the bid very detailed so I was able to make sure I was comparing apples to apples.  I especially appreciated the extra time and effort they put in to figure out how to eliminate two seams on the island countertops without an extra charge required.
Once we decided to go with Paramount, they directed me to a couple of granite wholesalers to choose the slabs, once the slabs were at Paramount, I stopped out to discuss the layout with them.   Bryan did the measuring, on a Monday and a week and a half later on a Wed. the countertops were installed.  Entire process less than two weeks.
Lisa's communication through the entire process was professional and always very timely.  
Installation went as planned with the install crew dealing with the invisible brackets with some creative problem solving.  Entire install took 4 hours for all 7 pieces.  Looks great and they look beautiful!  Would highly recommend to friends and family and would use them for future projects.

"The job was done great! I had been recomended them by another contractor (putting in my kitchen countertops) and was very glad they did. I plan on using them again to fix my new houses tile.

"Jack brought his knowledge and professionalism with him from the first meeting on through. He worked efficiently and provided us with a custom laminate countertop that our guests have to touch to make sure itâ s not stone. The quality countertop he provided us was well worth the cost."

"Minnesota Kitchens replaced my old cabinets, countertop and backsplash with showroom quality material and design. Their installers were top notch, and the staff is very helpful and creative. This was during the supply crisis in the economy, and they weathered this difficult process with equanimity. I would not hesitate to recommend them."

"Purchased a remnant for a small countertop for a wet bar. After visiting many sources found the perfect piece at Princess and also found the most comfortable experience. The price was also the best and the granite itself is stunning. We had a slightly uneven wall, this was a brand new installation, not a replacement, and it is a perfect fit, even my super picky spouse was impressed at how perfect it was. they we prompt, professional, and we couldn't be more pleased.
