Over the past 20 years Absolute Kitchens has undertaken many projects in our home – Kitchen renovation, sunroom addition, 30 x 20 bi-level deck, renovation of three full bathrooms, and adding a portico. Each time AKI has come through, exceeding our expectations in every respect. Their design work, style, and execution of the project cannot be beat. We highly recommend Absolute Kitchens.

My entertainment room (“Man Cave”) is fantastic. It not only looks great but is very functional. Richard’s innovative design and attention to detail enabled us to hide the equipment in fine custom cabinets and still avoid overheating. He is a genius of design.
- Bill S.

Over the last 22 years, Richard has worked with my husband and I to transform our 1950's ranch style home. His attention to detail and ingenious solutions have resulted in a home that functions flawlessly. Richard designed a kitchen and butlers pantry that incorporated clever solutions in a difficult space and the result was beyond anything we had thought possible. Richard is a joy to work with and has the skill to make your dream kitchen a reality.
