Kitchen Design Specialists specializes in serving customers who want to remodel their kitchen or bath. Beginning with the kitchen or bath design, our designers help you through each step of the selection process. We offer a variety of cabinetry options. Because Kitchen Design Specialists is a full service remodeling company, we are able to perform the full range of renovations necessary to bring your ideas to life. We will come to your home and listen to your ideas and give you a rough idea of the cost. There is no charge for this initial consultation. When you are ready to pursue a design and make selections, we will ask you for a design retainer which will be credited back to you when you place your order. We are happy to provide you with references from some of our many satisfied customers. Our customers tell us that they like our creativity, our quality work and the way we treat their homes while we are working there. Our staff follows a thorough process of selections so that all your choices are made before the process begins. This means that you will not be asked to make selections during the stress of deadlines but also results in our company having very few change orders. Because of this process most of our customers find that their final cost is exactly the price we quoted them unless they made a change. Though we use subcontractors, we work with the same people regularly so that we know them and their work and are able to stand behind everything they do for you.

We also handle bio-hazard scenarios. • Seven (7) Branch locations - Quickly and efficiently serving PA, DE & NJ (see attached). • State of the art equipment - Including thermal cameras that pinpoint the source of water thereby reducing demolition, vortex extraction equipment which may eliminate the need to remove carpeting / padding and a mobile, large volume desiccant that significantly reduces the time required to dry large structures. We are 30 years old…our methods are not! • Fully insured - Including pollution / mold coverage which is critical in today’s marketplace. • Excellent client communication & customer satisfaction - Dedicated Customer Care Department to further ensure that property owners and managers receive the expected attention and quality workmanship. In a perfect world, you would never require our services and we are the last service that you would want to need…but when disaster strikes, large or small …we are the first you should call.

"Stay away! Do not hire this company!! Fraudulent charges. Lies. Manipulators. Everything was covered by insurance but they are sending me bills for an additional $$$$ and claiming it’s computer error they can’t fix. So called project manager never came out to check on workers. Flooring salesman came out while workers there but he never went in to check on their work. He stayed outside and chatted then left. Painters painted the powder room that was not supposed to be painted and now there is yellow oily substance running down the wall from the paint they used. Worst experience ever."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

A DIY kit can lessen the sting that comes with paying for a professional assessment, but these comprehensive tests are true lifesavers. Inspectors are more likely to catch all of the pollutants and hazards in your air. Plus, you’ll still need a professional to verify and act on your DIY test results. 

Some kits don’t include tests for certain air pollutants or only detect their presence, but not their levels (i.e., mold spores). If you’re willing to shell out money for a DIY kit, it’s usually better to stretch your budget slightly higher for a more detailed assessment.

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.

When a surface that contains lead dust is disturbed, the dust can float about in the air for roughly an hour before settling again. Since you cannot see the dust, it is important always to wear protective gear when working with any materials that may contain lead paint and to keep children, pets, and others away from the area for as long as possible

The four types of hazardous waste are toxic, corrosive, flammable, and reactive. These four types fall under the EPA’s designation of characteristic hazardous waste. The EPA also categorizes hazardous wastes as listed, which includes specific byproducts or unused chemicals from manufacturing and industrial processes, universal waste, including bulbs, mercury, pesticides, batteries, and various other common substances, and mixed waste containing radioactive material.

Lead toxicity comes from inhaling lead or consuming it. Before the 1980s, when the government banned lead from consumer use, it could be found in paint, plumbing, pipes, ceramics, and even gasoline. Lead paint is toxic for the same reason lead itself is toxic, which is why lead poisoning from paint presents the same as lead poisoning from water or food sources, with a slight increase in respiratory symptoms vs. digestive symptoms. Lead paint is most dangerous when it’s old and peeling, cracking, or otherwise disturbed. This increases the concentration in the air and, therefore, in breathable air.
