About us
The late Keith Lavender and (Living) Ruth Lavender founders of Keith's Kitchens, wanted to do God's Will so thru prayer and God's Grace started Keith's Kitchens on July 6th 1978. Keith Lavender's son Charles Lavender and wife Terri, manage Keith's Kitchens today with the help of over twenty employees and five installation crews. Keith's Kitchens build and manufacture our own custom made cabinets without our customer's paying the custom prices.

"This is a fraudulent review, no such customer or job ever existed! Any customer that's wants references can call me, and I'll give the names of all my past customer's, and [Member Name Removed] Lane has never been a customer of ours. We make of our cabinets, we don't buy any cabinets from any another manufactures If a door should peal for any reason we replace it immediately. The job was stated to be completed on October [Member Information Removed], 2016, and It's now December 16, 2016????? and we "no longer carry that product" and it's only been two months since we finished? Door's are pealing and they had to get replacements form someone else that makes them? We manufacture everything here at our shop, someone else is going to have the exact door style profile and match or finish too???? The total cost of the kitchen cabinets, counter tops, sink, flooring and labor and installation was $8,000.00 Wow, that was a great price for all of that, usually our cabinets cost more than $8,000.00 and doesn't include counter tops, sink, flooring, or labor or installation. Charles Lavender December 16,2016"
Charles Lavender, the owner, said early in the process as we selected various floor tiles, countertops, cabinet styles - his wife Terry assists you with all of that - that "you'll love my guys". It was true as we became friends with Ron, Greg, and Larry over the course of the project. That's so important because the scope of the project my wife and I decided to undertake was large and we knew it would be weeks of effort. The "guys" were always pleasant and they knew their crafts well. They all exhibited an attention to detail and made sure the work area was picked up each night. They made the house as "liveable" as possible considering the scope of the demolition required. My wife was out of town during a major portion of the work (purposefully) so me and the dogs and cats endured. The guys were great with pets and the dogs looked forward to the guys showing up each day.
The work included : significant demolition, structural framing, waste water and water supply plumbing, dry wall, venting and HVAC relocation, cable television cabling, electrical upgrades and circuit balancing, cabinet installation, gas line modifications and extensions, lighting, tiled shower, glass enclosure, quartz countertops, 2 bathroom vanities with under-mount sinks, kitchen appliance installation, tile flooring in 2 rooms, crown molding, door casings, window casings, a 6 cabinet/12 door pantry, and cooktop vent installation.
I can't say I'm disappointed with any aspect of the project. Charles even chose to overlook some valid "extra charges" just because some of his guys were sick or unavailable and he wasn't happy with the progress that was made when we were out of town during the job. Any "curve balls" that the crew came across (and there were few from my perspective) seemed to be handled efficiently. The final punch list included just a few things and they were handled quickly. I would highly recommend Keith's Kitchens. I learned a lot and I laughed a lot with the guys and had the satisfaction of seeing my investment in my home turn into a beautiful reality. Very happy.
"Customer wanted to supply all there own materials, tile, lavatory vanity, lavatory faucets, and everything. Wanted a design only, said they already had a contractor who how done work for them in the past. Wanted to hire us for design and labor only, and not let us use our own materials. We cannot guarantee our work using customer supplied materials, and the customer was told that at the job site."
Completed the job within the promised timeframe. Construction crew was very professional and took great care to keep work area as neat and clean as possible. They found an issue with the ice maker water line and they didn't try to ask for additional fees to repair. They just fixed the problem and moved on with the remodel. Charles (owner) kept in constant contact with us and made sure we were satisfied during the construction.
The job took 5 weeks to complete. All workers arrived in a timely manner and worked steadily. We found each worker to be
knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, hard working, and trustworthy. We chose to be at the house while work was going on, making ourselves available if anything was needed. The crew's work ethic instilled our confidence in them from the beginning of the job.
We found our initial contact with the designer to be most helpful. We would never have been able to come up with such a great kitchen on our own. Keith's Kitchens supplies quality goods, and quality workers. Our kitchen is beautiful, and our neighbors agree.
The team of artists that Charles has assembled is phenomenal because they are all very professional and meticulous in their work. They put down drop cloths and put up plastic walls whenever they are needed and ALWAYS clean up their work areas prior to leaving each day. Since we did all the painting, they worked with us to enable the painting of areas where light, mirrors, etc. were going to be installed prior to their installation. The quality of their work, attention to detail, and their willingness to "work with us" was exceptional.
They make their own cabinets and can mix and match any color stain that you desire. We had already established a maximum amount that we wanted to spend so Charles worked with us to find a solution and keep the project on track and not go over our
budgeted amount. His quote was about 90% of another quote we had and we are now certain that we received a superior
job in the long run.
Charles's wife Terri, came up with 5 or 6 different design possibilities for the kitchen which was an enormous help in aiding our
decisions about what we really wanted. Then she later created several more before we made the final decisions. Charles provided us with a detailed quote listing all materials, detailed task list, and costs. There were no surprises.
Yesterday, about three and one-half months after the completion of our project, we discovered some adjustments that were needed to a few of the kitchen cabinet doors. We believe that this was due to humidity changes not workmanship, So I talked with Charles yesterday and at about 7:30 this morning a worker arrived to make the cabinets perfect again. This is the kind of after project warranty service you can expect from Keith's Kitchens.
The results of all 5 rooms turned out beautifully and we are very satisfied. We would highly recommend Keith's to anyone planning a kitchen and/or bath remodel.
"It was our privilege to work at your home. If we can be of service in the future, please call us."
"It was our pleasure to work in your home. Please don't hesitate to call us if we can be of service in the future."
The installers were excellent - very professional, very punctual, and did excellent work. Also, we had a couple last minute design changes because we selected some tile that we later decided we just didn?t like. Charles worked with us to find a solution and keep the project on track and not go way over our budget.
You can probably find others do this work a little cheaper, but you would be sacrificing quality and probably your happiness in the end. You can also most definitely find kitchen remodeling companies that are much more expensive. Keith's Kitchens was $15000 less expensive than the other company we got a quote from.
We will definitely be using their services again when we get to remodeling our bathrooms.
"It was our pleasure to work in your home. If we can be of service in the future, please call us."
"Thank you for the review. We are glad we could be of service."
We love the cabinets for their beauty, function and quality build. Superior to anything we saw anywhere else.
They provided several professional installers. Everyone they sent to work here was of the highest caliber in ability and personality. One of their professionals held responsibility for the entire job and he involved us in every install decision and was able to make the few changes we requested without missing a beat. No detail was left unattended.
As for the quality of the design, cabinets and installation, there is not one single flaw in our new kitchen, Their designer caught every detail especially the ones we would have never considered.Everything works the way it should and everything fits the way it was designed.
I can't say enough positive as to the integrity of their entire staff. We worked with everyone from the office personnel, installers, designer and owner. We found them to be the most honest and professional of anyone we've ever employed.
"Thank you for your review. We are glad we could be of service."
They were so personable and professional that we decided to set up an appointment with Mr. Lavender to stop by and take measurements for a quote. He arrived promptly at the appointed time, took all the necessary measurements, offered advice in several areas and provided a very reasonable quote in a timely manner.
Unlike some contractors I've dealt with, Mr Lavender provided us with a detailed quote listing all materials, detailed task list and cost per item. There were no surprises.
Both the kitchen installer and the tile installer were always on time and both did excellent work. They also cleaned up everything each day before leaving.
Once again, the results turned out beautifully and we are very satisfied. Would recommend Keith's to anyone planning a kitchen or bath remodel.
