I didn't want to write an emotionally charged review, so I waited a while. I also wanted to see how…read morethings held up over time. That said, I can give My Kitchen & Bath a solid 3 stars.
The Pros:
The initial design phase and conversation were great. Josh listened to my ideas, communicated promptly and clearly, shared some good design suggestions, and was patient with my many indecisive moments.
The proposed cost was pretty much what we ended up paying; there was only one surprise related to installing our new flooring. This happened on day one of the project, and was initially frustrating, but it all worked out, and our floors are fine. There were no other surprise costs during the project, and we appreciated that.
The timeline was adhered to, and the crew was efficient. Ricardo, the crew lead, was a joy to work with. They worked most days and completed the project within the promised timeframe.
Our new kitchen looks and functions beautifully!
The Cons:
The crew did not protect our furniture, floors, and other areas of our home very well. Everything was covered in dust and debris. Josh did send cleaners at the end of the project, and most areas were cleaned reasonably well. However, a lot of debris was left in our crawl space, and the carpet on the upper level still has glue in it that was used on the wood flooring in the nearby hall.
Back to the flooring: It was installed pretty well, but we have some issues, like hollow spots, and a long scratch that appears to have been caused by dragging something heavy, like the cabinetry. I considered having them come back to fix these issues under the one-year workmanship warranty, but by the end of our project, I was so frustrated with the company that I did not want to deal with them again. Which leads to my last con.
The biggest con was a crew mistake that delayed the project's completion and soured our relationship with the company. When installing the new flooring, the crew accidentally covered the gas shutoff valve for our fireplace. I noticed it and requested that it be remedied. Ricardo took responsibility for the mistake, but Josh did not, and initially implied that I was lying. Up until that point, the communication and working relationship had gone pretty well, and I was disappointed that it ended so poorly. They ultimately fixed the issue and ate the cost, so we appreciated that, but the interaction we had regarding this issue was so frustrating that we did not want to do business with My Kitchen & Bath ever again. After two years, I'm over it, but at the time, I was very upset, which is why I waited to leave a review. A review at that time would not have been fair or reflective of the overall experience of working with My Kitchen & Bath.
Overall, we are pleased with our remodel and have enjoyed our new kitchen and floors.
