I could not be happier with our kitchen refacing project. It was incredibly easy to work with Frank--he came by our house in the morning to give me a quote and met with me to pick out all of our finishes in his showroom that very afternoon! He knows the products and had great ideas to visually maximize our space. It feels twice as big, twice as bright, and four times as luxe. The entire crew of contractors, from demo to finishing touches on our punchlist, were professional, kind, clean, and attentive. I work from home and barely heard the installation team from the next room over! I would HIGHLY recommend using this team for your kitchen upgrades. So much so, I am redoing a bathroom in the next few months and didn't even get quotes from other companies because I want to work with EGL again. read more

We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Eat Gather Love on our full kitchen remodel. Frank and Adam, along with their incredible team, delivered a truly spectacular transformation that exceeded every expectation we had. From day one, they embodied everything a homeowner hopes for when taking on a major remodel: professionalism, clear communication, craftsmanship, reliability, creativity, and genuine pride in their work. They listened carefully to our vision, asked thoughtful questions, and provided expert guidance that helped us make confident decisions throughout the process. One of the most impressive parts of the project was their dedication to getting the details exactly right--especially the custom wood color we wanted. It was a multi-step process, and not an easy one, but they patiently worked through samples and variations until they achieved the perfect match. Their persistence, artistry, and commitment to quality were truly remarkable. The entire remodel was handled with precision and care. The team was respectful of our home, kept the workspace clean each day, stayed on schedule, and communicated proactively so we always knew what to expect. Their craftsmanship is exceptional--every line is clean, every cabinet is flawless, and the entire space feels both beautifully designed and incredibly functional. Our kitchen now looks and feels like a dream, and we have Eat Gather Love to thank for it. Frank and Adam's leadership, combined with their talented crew, made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth, collaborative, and even enjoyable. We wholeheartedly recommend Eat Gather Love to any homeowner looking for high-quality work, dependable professionals, and a team that truly cares about creating something special. They turned our vision into reality, and we are absolutely thrilled with the result. read more

I worked with Reshma and Neel to add an island to my kitchen. They were able to squeeze my project in because it was a relatively small project. They were also both very responsive by email. I wish they were a little better with timing for when their people would come for work though. There was also a clear difference in quality between subcontractors and their own team. Their own team was very helpful and professional. They have set pricing for work, which made getting a quote very easy. I do think it was maybe a little more expensive than other companies, but I appreciate that they didn't have a set minimum for the work. All in all, I'm completely in love with my island. read more

Neel and Reshma were awesome! Our house is 27 years old and we never had a bathroom or our kitchen remodeled. I am horrible with making design decisions. They helped me choose a great kitchen and 3 bath remodels. They helped be choose great colors, style and flooring. Neel came up with a way to make our master bath much more open and gave us a great barn door! One of my favorites - is we had a 'closet' in our kitchen area that he turned into a pantry! I wish I had done it years ago! I have so much more room in my small kitchen. We are so happy with our home - it feels brand new! read more

We found Eat Gather Love at the SD Home show. I called and got an immediate appointment with Frank. He came up to Fallbrook and helped me with the redesigning of the same footprint. He had excellent suggestions and ideas. We checked out where the cabinets were constructed in Mira Mar. Adam and Sam built our cabinets and then installed them also. They were meticulous in every detail of the install. I asked for extra shelves and they delivered. I asked for extra rollouts and got the order in promptly. They will be here soon. Adam and Sam went above and beyond for this project. This was a very smooth project and my cabinets are fabulous. I highly recommend this company for cabinets. read more

This review is about the consultation Reshma and Neel provided. My husband and I met with many Companies for a kitchen remodel. We actually didn't choose EatGatherLove but without a doubt would have if we chose to reface our cabinets. They were on time, had great communication. We loved that they came prepared with samples of counter tops and cabinets. They were efficient and gave us a well written quote with measurements immediately. They were very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend this company if you're looking to give your kitchen or bathroom a new look. read more

Frank cam out to assess my kitchen earlier this year. He lost track of time and was late. He measured and discussed options VERY quickly. I got the sense he wasn't interested in the project. He also made inappropriate comments about the kind of partner I needed and how wonderful his cooking was. The quote was ridiculously high. Ended up buying a whole new kitchen for less than half the price quoted. Overall, a distasteful experience. read more

We can't say enough good things about EatGatherLove. They did a fantastic job on our kitchen, family room and bathroom remodel. Frank was so knowledgeable and detailed oriented when he came out to give us a bid we knew right then we were going to go with EGL. They started the project when they said they were going to and showed up every day to complete the whole project in less than 5 weeks. They refaced our kitchen cabinets and family room builtin cabinets, added new cabinets and replaced the countertops. Everyone who worked for us was courteous, clean, dependable and most important, they were very skilled at what they do. We absolutely can't recommend EGL enough !! read more

My husband and I went with EatGatherLove for the fast remodeling time (approximately 2 weeks) and the reasonable cost for new cabinets, countertop and sink installation. Yet looking back on the finished project, I wish I had asked more specific questions about the scope and what's included, or gone with a completely different contractor. First Reshma (Shanbhag) Patil and her husband, Neel communicated to us the entire scope of the project with an invoice with the cost of labor and materials. The invoice was modified once as we ask for some customized features. Yet, as the project progressed, I realized that EatGatherLove wasn't an all-in-one contractor. With the demolition of the old kitchen -- specifically removing the existing backsplash -- holes in the backsplash were predictably introduced. Their solution was to increase the backsplash to cover up the holes without patching up. Some holes were small but some were noticably big, so big we could see the drywall and fit several fingers through. I voiced my concerns to them and they patched up as much as they could, free of charge but with a statement that it wasn't usually in the scope of their renovations. With the addition of the backsplash, we were told near the end of the project that it would incur an additional cost when we initially believed it was already included in the invoice and verbal agreement they would use remnants from the countertop. Additionally, their installers lost two important pieces from the previously kitchen that we voiced to them that needed to be carried over to our new kitchen: a undermount screw holding the faucet to the sink and and a box which powered our over-the-range microwave. As mentioned by the installers, they had lost track of them and believed them to be in the dump along with remnants of our old kitchen. More annoyingly, we had asked the installers several times to remove all under cabinet light fixtures but they left one. Their excuse was they didn't see it although I find that explanation hard to believe as they covered it with molding. Now behind the upper cabinets lies a lamp connected to a switch. Neel's solution for fixing this was to sever the connection from the light switch. There's an unusable light switch in our kitchen and a hidden overhead lamp in the ceiling. As for the cabinets, they were exactly as we ordered with a few dings and scratches that were replaced. Yet there were still problems, namely vertical changes in the size of the cabinets. The top cabinets are about two inches shorter throughout, an explanation that Reshma says is standard throughout the industry, and the bottom cabinets are now an inch taller than before; something I noticed immediately since I stand approximately 5"2' tall and now have to strain to reach some cabinets. While the difference in upper cabinets were remedied with some patch work and touch up paint, the lower cabinets proved to be more troublesome. An internet search shows the standard for counter height is 36 inches and after measuring the new cabinets from bottom to the top of the new counters, our kitchen counters is now 37 inches. An inch difference doesn't seem like a much but because of that a new problem was introduced: our range sits notably shorter than new kitchen counter tops. Neel's solution for this height difference is to install lifts, basically remnants of our countertop underneath the feet of our range but first without a statement from him that leveling the range was out of the scope of this job. Neel agreed to remedy with a fast fix by using tucking cabinet remnants under the feet of the stove. I believe will prove problems down the road if we even decide to replace the range and/or have to move the range away from the wall and thereby sliding off the lifts. It looks bad and for the amount we paid, we assumed that he would have a better solution that the one he used. I thought if he introduced a new problem, in this case a height difference, he would also fix it. My advice for anyone who decides to hire EatGatherLove is to specifically ask if the dimensions will change, if damage will be inflicted what their remedy is for it and to get everything in writing. That will help determine whether you need additional contract work to patch walls, some to do electrical, install appliances, etc. In addition, I strongly encourage you to throughly read the agreement prior to signing especially in regards to changes in work order, an item they fail to follow through on. I love our new kitchen but knowing there are a few flaws and negotiating throughout the project has put a damper on the final outcome. read more

Needless to say, they did a fabulous job and the kitchen looks great! We would highly recommend them! read more
