Striking Kitchen & Bath by Bell

I had an excellent experience with Striking Kitchen & Bath by Bell. After listening to my concerns about the current kitchen (from 1995), particularly the poor use of space, Anna Haley created a design that has given me not only more and easily accessible cabinet space, but additional countertop space, too. It’s extremely important to maximize the space in a small condo kitchen; I now have room to access my wedding china (instead of being shoved in a box in the entry closet the last 18 years) and I can use it every day. All of the extra cereal boxes and cooking oils that couldn’t fit in the cabinets and had to sit out on my countertop and on top of my refrigerator are now housed behind closed doors (even the trash and recycling cans), making my kitchen no longer look cluttered.
We went with UltraCraft cabinets, which are designed very well (and have the soft close!), and a Blanco Precis sink that matches my cabinet/floor color (no more boring white or stainless steel). I have Pental quartz countertops (no more Formica!) with an extended backsplash behind the sink. The Exotica luxury vinyl tile floor is a beautiful color/pattern, and now extends into my dining area and entry for easy cleaning. I also have new ceiling lighting in both the kitchen and dining area (no more track lighting!), and beautiful accent lights over my sink / bar top area. While the electrician was on-site, I decided on matching ceiling lighting in my living room, giving me options for dim to bright lighting in the whole space. Electrical outlets, venting, and plumbing are now up to code.
Andrew Stone was my craftsman; in addition to being a highly competent professional, he was pleasant to have in my home, and gave me good advice about choices I needed to make.
Eric Medrano, the construction superintendent, worked with me on any concerns I had, and shared with me a web-based communication tool that kept us all informed about what was going on during the project.
I was able to do my own demolition, painting, and appliance purchases to keep costs within my budget; Anna was also good about working with me to select affordable, but still beautiful, options for a small condo kitchen.
Each day since the renovation was complete, I’m pleased with my choice of Striking Kitchen & Bath by Bell. Services: Floor fitting, Remodelling

My wife and I purchased a condo in February, and needed a kitchen and bathroom renovation. We asked around, and a lot of people in Heather Gardens recommended Bell Heating and Air Conditioning (now known as Striking Kitchen and Bath). We heard that they were on the expensive side, but did excellent work. We contacted them, and we had a designer come to our home. Kristi went through our condo with us and made quite a few recommendations. She designed things specifically for our needs. We were very impressed with her responsiveness and ideas. The craftsmen that were sent to our house were all top rate, professional, and nice. Rahul spent the most time at our house, and we was VERY pleased with his work. All in all, the renovations exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely recommend them to our friends and family. Let's face it, renovations are messy and take longer then what you expect, but Bell tried to make the entire experience as pleasant as possible. Thanks Bell!

Striking Kitchen & Bath by Bell has done several projects for us, but most recently they remodeled our entire kitchen. I value this company because they're the complete package anyone would want in a contractor. Our remodel included hardwood flooring, marble counter tops, cabinets, high end appliances, drywall/tiling, lighting/electrical (including a panel upgrade), and plumbing/HVAC. They removed two walls (one of which was load bearing) and a soffit, requiring a complete rerouting of our plumbing and HVAC lines, feats that took both creativity and engineering. Their designers are wonderfully creative, while at the same time receptive to our wants and desires. The installers are truly craftsmen with the ingenuity to make anything happen, and their daily communication with us was exceptional. As the company employs all the craftsmen that were in our home (designers, carpenters, plumbers, HVAC techs, electricians, painters, drywall & flooring installers), communication and coordination nightmares that are common in the subcontractor world were eliminated. We went from a very average looking kitchen to arguably the most beautiful kitchen in our entire neighborhood (and we live in a pretty nice neighborhood!). Their pricing was extremely competitive and the project was completed in the time frame expected. I can't tell you how much we appreciate Striking Kitchen & Bath by Bell! We plan to be working with them again soon to remodel our master bathroom. Services: Water fixture installation, Drywall installation, Floor fitting, Tile fitters, Remodelling, Interior decorating
