10/10

We have two chairs that have been in our family for many years. I contacted TJ, sent him some pictures and he came out to give us a quote. His colleague came to show us samples of material. We chose one that would work and he set about removing the old covering and rebuilding the chairs. Since we were going away for about a month, he agreed to store them in his warehouse until we returned. We also had a pine kitchen nook stripped and refinished. It looks beautiful and like new. We were very pleased with his professionalism and the quality of his work.

After 35 years, our kitchen was ready for a do over. I dutifully contacted 3 contractors and we agreed on Valentini Kitchens. the first thing that impressed me was Piero's willingness to listen to our needs and wants. Following our initial telephone conversation he came out to our house laden with samples of a variety of floor, counter and backsplash products. We really loved our oak cabinets and wanted to keep them. This made it a bit more tricky to work around, but Piero assured us it was doable. My vision was a Tuscan kitchen and Piero enthusiastically began to create this. We were leaving on vacation for a month and thought this would be a good way for the team to work on their own and for us to have to live with a minimum of mess.During the time we were away, Piero's brother Tony sent pictures showing the progress and letting us know when issues developed as they opened walls and found that things needed readjusting and strengthening. Tony is all about safety and attention to detail. He takes great pride in his work and is meticulous when it comes to finishing and adding pieces. He even told us that we needed to upgrade our smoke alarms. Paul, Frank the Electrician, Joao the Painter, Peter the Plumber and Roany the Tile man could not have been more professional and pleasant. Their work was topnotch. In the bathroom area we removed a closet and added a corner shower. The first shower fixtures did not work in the space and Piero immediately found other fixtures that worked. He texted and sent me pictures and made sure that I was pleased with the result. Olivia, Piero's wife came over when the job was done and did a very thorough cleaning of kitchen and bathroom. She is a designer on her own and gave me some great tips on coordinating colours and window treatments. This is truly a family affair as the business was originally started by Piero and Tony's father. How proud he would be of his boys!!!!!

Company Response

Thank you so much for the beautiful words Paulette & George!! We really appreciate the kind words & it was truly a pleasure to work for you both. I remember the first time I came over to give you an estimate, you weren't sure if we would do " add on " Cabinetry work to your existing Oak Kitchen Cabinetry but I said with a bit of time we could anything you would like. Your original Kitchen was still in fantastic shape & I made sure that because we were the direct manufacturer that we would do our best to match your new cabinets as close as possible. I know you had many other quotes & I tried to be as different as possible & do my best with the shop at home services.

After listening to what you wanted & adding my opinions & ideas, we were able to agree on the design style to create that vision of your dream " Tuscan " Kitchen. Anthony was able to match up the colour very close & he came in to fit everything like a glove. One of our Renovation Crews were able with my help to bring all your Reno needs to reality.

Thank you again & I hope you & George are enjoying everything in Tuscany
