My wife and I highly recommend Alex and George Apelian at Kitchen by Design on Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena, CA. We walked into their showroom and were immediately impressed. We had brought printed concepts of what we were thinking from internet pictures and discussed our options with Alex. Two days later Alex provided an estimate, which was in line with our expectations since we already had two other estimates. Alex offered to stop by the following day to do measurements to prepare a three dimensional design, which we saw in the showroom a few days later. Within two weeks it was all finished (please see the before and after photo images below). George handled the customization and the attention to detail and quality was much appreciated. We had custom cabinets installed in the kitchen and bathrooms and since this was just the hallway we chose to save about 50% by going prefab modular - we are immensely pleased. read more

Alex and his dad have been a pleasure to deal with throughout our kitchen remodel project. We bought a 100-year old house in Altadena, and worked with Alex and Kitchens By Design to remodel the countertops, and the cabinets including removing all drawers, doors, and hardware completely and repainting all of them. We recently had an issue with the hardware on one of the drawers, and KBD came and fixed the problem within a couple of days. Great service, and great folks to deal with. Highly recommended. read more

If you're looking to remodel your kitchen, look no further than Kitchen by Design. As first time homeowners of a fixer upper, saying that my husband and I were apprehensive would be an understatement. However, we were lucky enough to find Kitchen by Design. The team helped us bring our kitchen into modern times (check out the before and after pictures). They installed brand new cabinets, extended our island, installed new backsplash, beautiful finishings and much more. They went above and beyond to bring my black kitchen island dreams to life!! They even installed cabinets in our laundry room and top floor to ensure we had a consistent look throughout our house. The Kitchen by Design team was extremely responsive throughout the whole project which I truly appreciated. The team was dependable and transparent. As an added bonus, they were extremely willing to work with our budget and transparent about what we could and could not afford. We get so many compliments on our kitchen now and a year later the quality is still as good as new. I can't wait to remodel our bathrooms next with the Kitchen by Design team! read more

We had water damage in our kitchen so we took the opportunity to redo the cabinets in our kitchen. Apel and his team came and repaired the drywall, painted, demo'd the old cabinets, and got the new cabinets installed - promised in 3 weeks and was finished ahead of schedule. The new cabinets look great, high quality. We asked for a few things to be done at the end - touch up caulking, extra shelves, adjust drawer heights - and they were super responsive. All done with a smile. Will definitely give them a call when we need to do our master bath. read more

I am very happy with my new kitchen, and I have Alex and his team at Kitchen By Design to thank for it. It was by chance I happened upon their store while visiting Sherman Williams next door for exterior paint. I stopped by unannounced and was warmly welcomed. Alex said he would come to my home the following day to take measurements. True to his word, he showed up on time, and within a day or two showed me a layout with a cost estimate that was within my budget, along with outlining the scope of work and writing up a contract. The estimated project time was three and a half weeks. I signed on the bottom line and the work began the following week. Alex was great to work with and was professional, and responsive to any of my questions or concerns. By having a storefront with an assortment of good quality, cabinets, tile, fixtures and fittings to choose from, I felt more comfortable working with Kitchen By Design vs other contractors that showed up at my home in a truck with a tape measure, notepad and a pencil behind one ear. Given I was not able to be on-site the entire time, technology played a huge part in keeping the project on track. Alex kept me up to date with progress. He got input from me when necessary, and the project completed on time. When I walk into my new kitchen, I still can't believe it's finished. Once I refill the coffers, we will tackle the bathroom next! I am including BEFORE and AFTER photos as that shows the transformation clearly. Thank you, KBD! read more

we couldn't be happier with our kitchen remodeling project! We looked and shopped all around for different kitchen cabinet vendors, from San Gabriel Valley to O.C. to compare prices, quality and services. But, when we are so happy that we found Kitchen by Design, the pricing and service provided were very impressive. The installation of the cabinets was very detailed. Best we have seen. Our house was built in 1937, due to the settling of the house, the floor is not completely leveled, wall is not straight, the installer was patient and paid attention to the details. He always cleaned up everything at the end of the day. We received lots of compliment by friends and family such as our kitchen is elegant, or it looks like something people see in the magazine and more. We are very happy with the result and highly recommend Kitchen by Design to anyone interested in remodeling their kitchen or bathroom. read more

Kitchen By Design is the best contractor we have ever worked with! We recently remodeled the kitchen in our 50-year-old condo. This was the fourth kitchen we have remodeled, and the most challenging given the age of the unit and the small size of the kitchen. Nonetheless, it was the smoothest remodeling job we've done. Alex is great to work with from design to completion. He listened to what we wanted as well as our concerns. The work crews were very professional and efficient. We couldn't be happier. read more
