Erica is extremely professional. She understood exactly what I wanted and followed through with examples, ideas and samples. She pulled everything together, hired the contractors and got the job done, on time! We are thrilled with our new kitchen and have already contacted her to do another remodel for us. I highly recommend Erica.
We have had Erica of EK Kitchens and Design work on remodels of two of our residences. She has a very keen eye for color and design is able to work effectively with the many personalities from our side and the contractors that she recommended as well. Ericka always has a can-do personality and a friendly smile (even on the phone). Erica was able to work within our budget and get these projects done efficiently. We would highly recommend contacting her for your upcoming projects! We have had Erica of EK Kitchens and Design work on remodels of two of our residences.
I contacted Erica when we needed to replace our ancient build in SubZero frog and freezer. Erica spent many hours helping us get the right replacements. She worked with my contractor and her own cabinet people and installer to modify the space in our home to accommodate the new units. This company always goes the extra mile to be certain everything is perfect
Erica was a delight to work with - her upbeat demeanor always helped to put the project in the best forward motion. She completely designed our mountain cabin including kitchen, family room, bathrooms and bedrooms. Her resources and contacts were professional, and the finished project looks great! She was creative, listened well to our views and followed through on a timely basis. I would definitely recommend her services to others.
A couple of years ago we had a bathroom pipe freeze and cause water damage to our detached garage/bedroom structure at our home in Fraser, Colorado. The damage was extensive to the living space above the garage and presented the opportunity to re-design the living space to include a kitchen. We hired ek kitchens to help us with the restoration redesign. Erica did an excellent job of helping us reconfigure the space to include a fully functional kitchen without sacrificing valuable living and bedroom floor space. Her consulting advice on selection of cabinets, counter-tops and flooring, as well as color schemes was valuable. We were able with Erica's help to add the kitchen without significantly increasing re-construction costs above our insurance settlement budget. We love the way the space turned out and would certainly recommend ek kitchens to anyone looking for a good design consultant.
My husband and I first worked with Erica, owner of EK kitchens and design, on the remodel of our 2-bedroom condo in Winter Park. Because of that wonderful experience, we are currently working with her on the kitchen remodel of our home in Lyons. The best way to describe working with Erica is that she makes you feel "safe." You know you're working with a pro, so the stress of remodeling is mitigated. Because Erica knows construction as well as she knows design, she has a deep understanding of the totality of a project. She is the ultimate professional, upfront about cost estimates, scheduling, ordering, etc. We had no surprises at the Winter Park project and expect the Lyons remodel to be the same. She stays in touch, responds to queries in a timely manner, and works well with both clients and other professionals.
Erica is professional, pays extra attention to detail, market driven, listens and communicates well. She keeps her showroom up to date with the latest products. Cutting edge technology used in the design center. Erica has a vast knowledge of the kitchen and bath industry. Networking is another strength she uses to her advantage - Erica is very well connected in Denver and the mountain communities. I would highly recommend Erica and her team of professionals for my next kitchen and bath project!
Although this review is tardy, it certainly isn't an indication of our love for Erica's work! Erica did an amazing job on the remodel of our condo after a major flood. Her ideas, creativity and unique style turned our ski condo into a place that we and our renters rave about! The reviews we have received since our remodel are unbelievable. The quality of materials and Erica's thinking outside the box have made this ski condo a place everyone wants to return to and not leave. Thanks Erica! We appreciate all you did for us!
Erica worked with us to update our kitchen with new granite countertops, an induction cooktop, etc. She was wonderful and went way, way out of her way to make our project happen in a very short time. All of the subs she brought into the job were very competent and efficient. I highly recommend ek Kitchens and Design.
Erica designed our cabin's main floor including the kitchen and bath. We are extremely happy with the results. Everything was very high-end but in keeping with the comfy cozy feel that we wanted. All her choices from the cabinetry to the color choices are spectacular. Thank you, Erica,
I worked with Erica of EK kitchen and designs to remodel my kitchen, master bathroom and closet. Erica is extremely professional, has creative ideas, and is a pleasure to work with. She has an eye for design and did a wonderful job turning my "ordinary" into "extraordinary." My basic master bathroom is now a modern oasis with an unobstructed mountain view. Erica is up on the latest products and puts them to use in her presentations. I am extremely happy with my remodeled spaces. Thank you, Erica!
Erica was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all of our questions and concerns. She immediately keyed into the design we were aiming for and made excellent recommendations.
Very impressed with how knowledgeable & efficient (with great attention to detail) Erica is. Picked up on my style immediately & put together a beautiful remodel plan for my bathroom within my budget. Highly recommend!
