When we decided to have our countertops done we did shop options of doing it ourselves (finding & scheduling our own tradesmen's from demo, drywall, electrical, plumbing & painting) vs. Kirkplan doing it all. Kirkplan did all the scheduling of the work & we were pleased with all the tradesmen's showing up as scheduled & the work that was done. We were told it would take 2 weeks & it was! The Cambria countertops we choose was far superior in quality to any others we looked at. We are very pleased & Love our new kitchen. Thank you to all the friendly people at Kirkplan that worked on our project & a shoutout to Todd that got us started & Jim that worked with us during the process & got the job well done. Thank you Greg & Kim

After delivery, We were missing some parts and they quickly replaced them. Also had to exchange the light fixture for a different style and the whole experience was painless. How unusual. Would recommend to anybody doing a renovation project.

Their pricing was fair and the project cost was less than we expected. They were on site, on time, everyday. They removed debris and left the house clean at the end of each day.

After meeting with several contractors for our remodel in Venice, Florida, what immediately stood…read moreout about Royal Remodeling & Design was their attention to detail, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile. Unlike others who quickly said something couldn't be done, their attitude was always, "Let's figure it out." Our project involved moving walls, investigating structural and bearing walls, removing columns, a full kitchen remodel, interior and exterior painting, new flooring, doors, trim, baseboards, a new front door, and many upgrades throughout the home. Royal Remodeling & Design truly turned our vision into reality. One of the best parts of the experience was the design process at their showroom on Main Street in downtown Sarasota. Being able to see our project on a 3D screen and make changes as we went gave us confidence that everything would turn out exactly how we wanted it. Choosing cabinets, countertops, tile, wood plank flooring, and finishes in one place made the process incredibly convenient and stress-free. Once construction started, communication was excellent. We received regular updates, timelines, and everyone who worked on the home was professional, respectful, and pleasant to work with. Even when we asked for extra changes, the response was always, "No problem, we'll take care of it." The home was kept clean throughout the remodel, and we appreciated the thoughtful suggestions made along the way that improved other areas of the house we hadn't even considered. Watching Royal Remodeling & Design transform our 1980s home into a beautiful modern space was an amazing experience. If you are looking for a remodeling general contractor in Sarasota County for a full home remodel, full condo remodel, kitchen remodel, or bathroom remodel, we highly recommend Royal Remodeling & Design. Professional, knowledgeable, and truly committed to turning your vision into reality.

Going in, my main concerns were pricing and the quality of the trades, especially based on past experiences. Those concerns disappeared quickly. The craftsmanship was top-level across the board -- tile installation, plumbing, electrical, and finishing were all done with precision. No crooked tiles, no shortcuts, just clean, high-quality work throughout. Communication was excellent from start to finish. We had daily updates, and the project manager Viktor kept everything on track, always responsive and solution-oriented. The entire process was organized, smooth, and professionally managed. The results truly stand out. The fireplace creates a dramatic focal point the moment you walk into the room, with clean lines and precise execution. Both bathrooms have completely different styles and feel like stepping into a high-end spa. We selected Fabuwood cabinets, Cambria quartz countertops, and custom tile, and the final outcome exceeded expectations. The crew was professional, respectful, on time, and kept the job site clean every day. Everything was done in the right sequence with strong attention to detail. What sets Royal Remodeling & Design apart is their professionalism, communication, and execution. If you're looking for a general contractor in Sarasota for full bathroom remodels, with a true designer showroom in downtown Sarasota, this is the team to go with. Easily one of the best general contractors in the area. We've already received many compliments from friends and neighbors and couldn't be happier with the finished product. Highly recommend.

I want to let you know the owner of Cabinets Extraordinaire just did an exceptional job of service…read morerecovery regarding my concern about a deposit refund for a design never delivered to us by a previous Cabinets Extraordinaire sales representative. He explained that this is NOT how Cabinets Extraordinaire does business, and that while the sales person we had initially worked with is no longer with the company, and although their files show a design had been done, they don't know why we did not receive that design. Since we did not receive the design - the owner agrees that our request for the return of the deposit will be honored. Cabinets Extraordinaire did a Great Job of quickly and completely addressing our concerns.

We got numerous quotes for shower glass/door and 2 custom mirrors from other local businesses. We chose the shower shop based on pricing (which was not the cheapest), reviews, quality of the products and the owner Mike Smith personally coming to do the estimate/design. Everything went smooth from the estimate to install. Marshal and Mike P did the install. They were fabulous. Both were knowledgeable, skilled, very Professional and cleaned up after the job was finished. The are both a great asset to the team at The Shower Shop. Jill and Dana were super helpful on the sales/transaction end also. Our shower door and glass was "unique" due to the challenging knee walls and curb. Mike Smith was spot on with this design. We definitely would refer The shower Shop to friends and family. We will be starting another bathroom soon and will be using them for future projects. If you need custom mirrors and/or shower glass/doors, this is a expert professional company to work with.

The Shower Shop ROCKS!…read more Renovating can be a nerve-wracking and costly experience. We hire the professionals to make the magic happen, and we expect the outcome to be breathtaking. We subbed out our bathroom renovation to keep our costs down. The procedure of doing it this way can be extremely tedious, but in the end we (as customers) get to pick and choose who we want to make that magic happen.  The shower glass was the last thing needed to complete our bathroom renovation; it was like the final bling, the frosting on the cake, if you will. We reached out to several glass companies for estimates and received your typical responses (if any at all). Some companies returned our call for an estimate but only after the job had already been completed by someone else (The Shower Shop), and sadly, some never returned our call at all. Most companies that did respond quoted estimates without seeing our job or taking any measurements. From the very first (and only) call for an estimate from The Shower Shop, we spoke with the receptionist, who was only too happy to schedule our visit with a professional to measure and quote our job. She asked how thick of glass we wanted, and when we told her the approximate length of glass needed, we could hear somebody in the background telling her that glass of our size should be a minimum thickness of 1/2" as not to be flimsy. We had the warm fuzzies from that moment on that The Shower Shop was going to deliver not only a beautiful shower but a safe one too! Our appointment was scheduled for the very next week for someone to come out and take measurements. We were a little taken back when the general manager himself came to our home and did the actual measuring. He didn't just pull out a measuring tape; he carefully measured our bathroom wall, ceiling, and shower ledge with a laser level, explaining every step of the way. He shared with us that although our bathroom wasn't perfectly straight or level (which no home is), our glass would be level, sturdy, and a beautiful addition to our new shower. He made suggestions that were overlooked by us and our tile installer that were appreciated. After all, that's why we hire the professionals. Our installation date was scheduled two weeks out, which was perfect because we had other things to schedule and complete before our glass arrived. Our glass was actually ready for installation just shy of the two-week date given by the general manager. We were ahead of schedule and ready for the install. The receptionist was great with communicating our appointment as well as reminder calls throughout. I get it... they're a busy company who want every job to go as smoothly as ours did, and I respect that. The crew of two arrived to install our shower glass. They were as friendly and professional as the receptionist and Gary, the general manager of The Shower Shop. Our new shower glass was installed in just under 2 hours. The results? Our shower glass was not only level, but it was sturdy and beautiful, just as we were told it would be. One thing I would like to mention is the option of having your glass treated with a protective coating by Diamon-Fusion. This protective coating eliminates the hard water spots and soap scum that tend to build up in your shower, not to mention cuts down on heavy cleaning with harsh chemicals. I'm not sure if other glass companies are offering this as an option, but no other glass company mentioned it. Both the general manager and the installers shared a glass cleaner called Sprayway that's a couple of dollars cheaper than most glass cleaners, has no ammonia, smells pleasant, and can be purchased at most any store. This glass cleaner is awesome and leaves no streaks! Overall, we were very pleased with our decision to have The Shower Shop install our glass. They were friendly, professional, punctual, accommodating, and great with communicating. They offered suggestions that only added to the beauty and aesthetics of our bathroom.  I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing glass and plan to call on them again for our next bathroom shower project! I would rate this company 5 out of 5 stars for their stellar performance and the job delivered as promised!

These are not cheap construction cabinets. These are well-designed, well-constructed, solid wood with slow closing hinges and dovetail joints. However, Unique Kitchen & Bath sells them for less than the big box stores. Skip Home Depot and Lowe's and go talk with Julie. One last suggestion: If you are at handy, you can save money by assembling the cabinets yourself.
