Testimonial from Ken Sanders

I just wanted to share our experience in working with Ken Ryan and his team in the remodel of our condominium in Cow Hollow in San Francisco. Ken is a terrific collaborator and understood well our interest in a classic, traditional kitchen, including flush-frame cabinet doors and drawers. He organized the subdivision and assembly of the cabinets to minimize joints between sections; the result is a clean, seamless appearance.

The kitchen involved a tight layout in an existing 1920's building, with uneven floors and ceilings, and Ken anticipated key details involving counter top edges, a flip-up door and a flush refrigerator enclosure. When there was a question on how to resolve a design issue, he always took the initiative to reach out and have a conversation about proposed solutions. I look forward to working with him again on future projects and can recommend him unconditionally.

John Thurman Testimonial

"Our new kitchen is simply beautiful and the Plato cabinetry we selected is what sets it apart from other high-end kitchens we've seen. It's great to look at the finished result and feel like we made all the right decisions and one of the best decisions we made was to work with you. We were referred to you to look at cabinets, we never imagined how large a role you would play in our remodel. Your patience, attitude and attention to details not only resulted a great kitchen, but made the remodel process a pleasant one.

As you found out, we had little experience with remodeling and very high expectations for this kitchen. You certainly rose to the challenge by turning our ideas into reality, steering us in the right direction when needed, and always having ideas when a problem arose. It was amazing how many small details needed to be managed in order for everything to come together perfectly in the end.

Eileen and I would like to thank you all of the numerous favors you did for us, as it significantly reduced the amount of time we had to spend on the project. We also noted how your working relationship with our contractor positively affected the project. The entire team left us with the impression that job wasn't done until we were 100% satisfied. We are!

Best Regards,

John R. Thurman

"We would like to thank you for the incredible "mission accomplished" you performed on our home. Above all, your dedication to our project and relentless follow-up made our lives bearable. With your constant communication with the General Contractor and the accuracy of your work, you delivered a superior product. From your recommendations of material, design layout and ultimate functionality, to your attention to detail, we were in excellent hands - and the results show it."

Laird and Gail Doherty Testimonial

"Your patience, responsiveness and attention to detail during the planning process were much appreciated. While the cabinets were more expensive than we had originally budgeted, your advice on the selection was correct and we feel we made the right decision by spending the extra money. Had we selected anything less, the kitchen would not have turned out as nice asit did and ulrimately we would have done ourselves a disservice. Overall, we are very pleased with the result."
