Monterey Kitchens

We are extraordinarily pleased with the outstanding work performed by Monterey Kitchens. Over a fifteen month period while we lived in Boston, we renovated an old large kitchen, pantry, laundry, bar, and two primary bathrooms in a 1924 historic Spanish Revival Colonial. While the Downsview custom cabinets are high quality and built perfectly to the custom design specifications, we want to recognize Guido Ausenda and Victoria Berti, as they are exceptional people. They exceeded our expectations throughout the entire renovation project. They listened to us and they provided excellent design options appropriate for the property. Additionally, they delivered a broad scope of wrap-around services; sourcing/fabricating countertops, appliances, fixtures, flooring, tile and the installing of the cabinets. They were always easy to work with. Their guidance was invaluable to us in making decisions, and their CAD documents facilitated communications with us through Zoom meetings and for the contractor; roadmaps for sub-subtractor site preparation. Moreover, their help in sourcing other needed building materials was highly valuable. Guido and Victoria’s performance made a challenging long-distance renovation project much easier for everyone and a wonderful experience for us. We can not thank them enough. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-quality, well-designed, and perfectly installed new kitchen, bar, laundry and baths.

I really can’t praise the dream team at Monterey Kitchens and Bath enough. Guido and Victoria are a pleasure to work with and everything was made easier for me because of their experience, support and talent. They took my kitchen project ideas and created spaces far above what I could ever imagine. I looked forward to meeting with them and watching my little kitchen space evolve before my eyes. I received so much attention it felt like I was their only client. Unlike my contractor, Guido and Victoria were always available to me. Always. Guido is an experienced, creative designer with excellent taste who thinks outside the box. He went with me to pick my stone and backslash even offering to drive me to the Bay area for more choices. Victoria did all the 3D plans in order that my non-3 demential brain could see exactly what the space would look like, as well as the plans to submit for a permit. Guido and Victoria helped me pick and buy appliances, which is not easy these days. Every detail was handled including buying hardware. They purchased for me so I got discounts. The three-ring binder they created was a godsend for the contractor. Guido and Victoria were my support system and I will never forget that without them, my gorgeous kitchen would not have happened. Grazie mille!

We are impressed and very happy with our kitchen and master bathroom remodel. We didn’t know where to start with remodeling our kitchen at the beginning so we started with buying new stovetop and exhaust hood which was really bad idea. We were quickly overwhelmed with what to do next and we were stuck. We started looking for kitchen design showrooms and we found Monterey Kitchens. I am so glad we decided to hire Monterey Kitchens for our project. Annie and Guido were wonderful to work with and they helped us with every aspect of designing, layout, tile choice, lighting design, complete kitchen design, complete bathroom design, and appliance choices. Quality of Monterey Kitchens cabinets are top notch and we are beyond impressed. We now have well functioning kitchen and bathroom. My dream come true kitchen and bathroom. Decision to hire Monterey Kitchens was best decision we ever made. Annie is very patient and we made multiple changes but she helped us with making the best choices. Ruido has detailed insight in design and installations and they work well together to helped us make the best choices. We highly recommend Monterey Kitchens for kitchen and bathroom remodel.

After trying to work with multiple local contractors and designers, I was about to give-up on my project, my dream home, until I found Guido, Victoria, Annie and their team at Monterey Kitchens on Lighthouse Ave! I knew immediately that their philosophy of full service and support from start to finish were exactly what I had been looking for. I have not been disappointed since! The team is creative and have the optimal solution for every budget. Their broad network of craftsmen are the very best on the Monterey peninsula. I encourage you to learn from my mistakes; skip the empty promises and mediocre designs and go straight to the very best – Monterey Kitchens on Lighthouse Ave! Thank you Guido and staff; we love our home! Susan and Seumas

Very impressed with their services and the quality of their cabinets. We had a complete house rebuild after a fire. Our contractor recommended Monterey kitchens to help with design of our house. We have not made a better decision in rebuilding our house than hiring Monterey Kitchens. They helped us with every aspect of designing including basic room layout, floor & tile choice, lighting design, complete kitchen and bathroom design, appliance choice, and more. We were warned that rebuilding a house can be stressful and it was at times, but everyone at Monterey Kitchen was very responsive to help with questions and advice. Many sleepless nights for us were avoided. When a problem did come up, rather than point fingers and it did turn out to be a mistake of one of the subcontractors (not one they recommended, we were using a friend), they immediately came up with solutions. Months after they have been paid in full, they continue to help with advice and any questions. We did purchase our cabinets through them as well. While we could have found cheaper cabinets, the quality of both the product and the installation was worth more. So glad we found them and I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else!

My husband and I are delighted with our kitchen remodel! We spent a great deal of time interviewing kitchen designers and we were totally impressed when we met Guido and his team from Monterey Kitchens. They have an outstanding eye for design and presented us with interesting and unique options for our kitchen. Our kitchen transformation progressed seamlessly through the design process, the efficient and timely ordering of materials, followed by expert installation. Our cabinets and countertops are beautiful and were installed with great care and precision. Monterey Kitchens is a professional team with years of experience, knowledge and creative ideas. We highly recommend Monterey Kitchens, it was a pleasure working with them. Claire and Art Coffin

If you’re in the market for a new kitchen, or any remodel, look no further. Annie and Guido run the best kitchen design company in Monterey County. The Monterey Kitchens showroom is beautiful and helpful if you just need to look at some samples. As a designer I find a lot of peace working with such a talented group of people local to Monterey. Their home design consultation process, their trusted network of professionals, and their extensive background within the industry easily makes them the best company to help with all remodel needs.

I went into Monterey Kitchens just to get some consulting done for a remodel I wanted to have done. The staff was extremely helpful and they were eager to help me out. They took the time to learn exactly what was in my head for what I wanted my kitchen to be, and the designs that they were recommending blew me away. I highly, highly recommend you stop by if you are planning a kitchen remodel.
