We recently moved to a new home and had them install a 65" Samsung Frame Pro TV connected to ceiling speakers with a receiver, a basement tv mounted with a speaker system connected through the wall, and a basement projector connected to a speaker system through the ceiling. Days prior to the job, Bhavesh personally came out to walk through each detail of the project patiently, assisting me with which products to buy and more importantly, which to stay away from. While the home had its own structural road blocks, the team seamlessly came up with solutions to make everything work and look exactly as we planned. Even though it required more of their time, they were priced extremely fairly for the amount of professional work they put in. We will be using them again, and while we can't speak to other companies, we don't see any reason to look elsewhere for this type of work. Thank you Bhavesh, Ivan and Jose for a fantastic job!

He did a great job running the electric to the vaulted ceiling with minimal opening of the dry wall. I don't know how he does it without opening more of the wall! He did a long list of other electrical things around the house that were long over due. We just had him back last month to install a ceiling fan in our master bedroom that had nothing on the ceiling. Not only does he do great work, he is very personable. I felt very comfortable having him in our home. Also, Mike, who works his schedule, is a really nice guy on the phone. He's easy to talk with and I can tell he does his best to accommodate your schedule the best he can.

But the biggest thrill (and expense) in any of those remodels is the kitchen. If you are looking for a custom kitchen, then look no further than Past Basket. These guys are pros working with you every step of the way overlooking no small detail. Their showroom in Geneva actually is made up of their furniture quality cabinetry so that you can see what kind of potential pieces that you may want in your kitchen. They design and draw working with you and your architect to create a one of a kind design that you will just love to cook in. Since old houses are puzzles- putting a new kitchen in that looks like it had been there since the house was built- but has all the modern amenities was my goal. Dan McFadden and his team at Past Basket created an award winning kitchen for me that looks like it was part of the original house. The glass in the cabinets is wavy and old, the pulls on the doors worn looking, the armoire that hides my refrigerator and the cabinets that hide the modern day appliances all are functional as well as beautiful. No detail is too small for this team- in fact- they did such a good job on the kitchen- I also had them make the cabinetry for the family room as well as the master bathroom. They even solved my makeup lighting problem in the bathroom by creating lights that mimic the makeup counters at fine stores. They are also the only dealer for La Cornue stoves in the area. Once I saw one of these french works of stove art- I just knew it would be the centerpiece for my kitchen. Custom cabinetry may not be for everyone. After all- if you are not planning to stay in your home for awhile to enjoy it- there are certainly less expensive options around. But if you love to cook, and love the feeling of fine furniture no matter what room you are in your home- then go to Past Basket. Even if you only look around to get ideas for the future- or if you are there with your builder to get started- their staff will love to create with you the kitchen of your dreams. I should know. They did it for me
