“Chi is an expert in kitchen planning. We had a project that involved expanding our kitchen, which involved matching existing cabinets and granite. Other kitchen designers said no thanks –matching was a challenge; but Chi knew is could be done and proved it! We have a kitchen that’s doubled in size and you wouldn’t know half was over 10 years older than the other half!”
Janice, Durham, NC
Chi is honest, reliable, and responsible with a great communication skill. From the beginning to the end, I have received the personal attentions from Chi. Without any reservation, I would recommend him to create your personal kitchen and bathroom in your home.
Yoshie, Cary, NC
Chi was very professional, personable and showed up when he said he would. We were very happy with the whole process. Chi also has an art and design background that made for a more satisfying result – a beautiful, functional bathroom
J, Raleigh, NC
Chi was very helpful in planning our kitchen renovation – iterating through many quotes to find the cabinets/tops we wanted at the price point we were looking for. He was very responsive throughout the process and showed himself to someone with a high level of expertise and care for his work. Highly recommended.
