Showcase Kitchens & Baths

We have had an exceptional experience with Showcase Kitchen and Baths. We did a complete remodel of our kitchen as well as 2 bathrooms (one being a master) in our home. Charlie and Steve were a fantastic team! The communication was always clear, deadlines met (frequently earlier than promised, ) and the end result was fantastic. Their expert advice really helped us avoid unnecessary costs and headaches and we couldn't be more thrilled with the finished product! We wholeheartedly recommend them to any and all of our friends!

I used Showcase for a complicated home office/guest room remodel that required a lot creativity and a high level of attention to detail. Lead designer Kimberly Montante and her team were a dream to work with and exceeded all my expectations. I'm very experienced with renovations and am admittedly a challenging client when it comes to design and execution.

All project challenges were overcome and we stayed on time and on budget. It was a very collaborative and enjoyable experience and the results are even better than I expected. I highly recommend working with Kimberly and the whole Showcase team for your home remodel projects - we'll be back.

Complete Kitchen, Bathroom, Fireplace, Living room and Bedroom remodel. Including wall removal, beam additions, electrical rewiring, re-plumping, new interior doors and many other miscellaneous items. Our experience from beginning to end was professional, honest and very detailed. Our designer, Katie Carrol, listened to the few small details wanted and came up with the entire beautiful layout and design. We love everything about the finished result! Highly recommend Showcase Kitchens and Baths!

Our actual rating for Showcase Kitchens & Baths is 4.5. We hired Showcase Kitchens & Baths and their contractor Forest Construction for a complete remodel of our home, including kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, cabinets, flooring, etc. In general, we were very satisfied with the outcome and with our experience working with Michael and David. The lack of a 5.0 rating relates to tile installation.

We urge homeowners to be intimately involved with the installation of the tile design. When working with natural stone, ensure that the samples you're working with are an accurate representation of the variation of patterns that are inherent to that particular stone. This will help you avoid any surprises with the end result. Joy & Paul Toomer Westlake Village, CA

We have very high regard and praise for Showcase. We have been repeat customers through 4 separate remodeling and expansion projects on our residence going back to 1995. Projects have included kitchen 1995, expansion and remodel of bedroom/bathroom spaces 1999, master bath remodel 2009, and full kitchen do-over in 2016. Designer Charlie Rutledge has been our point person on every job.

He's been a pivotal player and the leader on every successful project. Personable, professional, always responsive. A pleasure to work with. Home remodeling is never easy or without surprises and adjustments, nor will any general contractor be completely flawless. But with Showcase we have always had the following: 1. Fair, comprehensive, full disclosure estimates, and final contract numbers.

May take a bit of time to fully understand every element, but that is because Showcase ensures there are no hidden costs, forgotten fees, other elements of your budget that we have had dropped by other contractors (e.g. outdoor masonry, painters). Showcase may not be the lowest (but competitive with other high quality general contractors), but also never ends up with surprises, forgotten elements, or other financial "oops" that blow your budget. 2. Exceptional patience and an open mind in terms of design inputs, details and decisions.

Working with Showcase is a true collaboration. They know kitchens and bathrooms inside and out, and have given us several great ideas we'd never thought of. And they have also been completely open to our inputs when we've seen a detail or tweak that was unique to our tastes or wants. 3. Detailed contracts, specifications, plans and drawings. And all the patience one could ask for in making sure both sides are in full agreement on the work to be done. 4.

With one or two minor exceptions (all of which were promptly remedied), top notch trades, often master craftsman level work, and by workers you feel totally comfortable having in your home. 5. A dedicated job supervisor (Steve Love has supervised all 4 of our projects). Not needed full time onsite but always available whenever needed. Immediate response to questions, immediate follow up when issues arise, and a very firm hand on all his trades.

With Steve Love at the helm there has never any doubt that the job is in very capable and demanding hands. 6. Well planned and very well paced work schedules. Work progress that meets and often betters the schedule. We've never ended up with a partially done project that stalled. No "my truck broke down, the dog ate the plans" or other lame excuses for not showing up. 7.

Within what is practical when up to half your living space is being worked on, full respect for and accommodation of our home, living space, needs, and daily routines. And dog friendly, even when we had a 4 dog household during two of the jobs. And full attention to and respect for our dog access restrictions, even if it sometimes meant they had to access the site or store materials in places not the most convenient for them. 8.

Very prompt resolution of any punch list, warranty or similar rework need. Their handling of a particular warranty issue on our most recent kitchen project was simply outstanding, and a model of how responsible businesses should work to resolve such an issue. 9. A finished result we absolutely LOVE! What else can you ask for?

Showcase recently remodeled 4 bathrooms for our family. The entire team was respectful, professional and flexible. Kimberly Montante, our designer, is responsible for the stunning finished product. She is a gifted designer who was so easy to work with.

We were called about 5 days after we visited the showroom. The FIRST question asked was, "where are you with your insurance company?". No thanks.

Showcase Kitchen and Bath recently completed renovating 2 bathrooms in our home in Oak Park, California. We had spoken with several contractors previously, most operating out of a truck and with an iPad as their sole sales tool. They showed us pictures of their work and providing a fixed price quote. Having been through this process before having redone a kitchen in 2008 I realize that pictures don't say it all and cheapest isn't always best (in fact it usually if not always isn't).

You can say you're going to redo a bath or a kitchen much the same way you might say you're going to buy a new car. Well, there are Hondas (nothing against Honda) and there are Bentleys. Both are cars. My wife, Denise, and I knew we wanted quality as we had insisted on it in our kitchen. Upon visiting your showroom in Thousand Oaks we met with Michael Hartstein and told him essentially what we were looking for, but knew we had questions that would need answering. Michael took the time to walk us through the process, completing a design, helping us pick out fixtures, stonework and colors.

He did say he wouldn't be the cheapest and he wasn't, but there is such a thing as value and with most things, especially your home, you have to go with value. After designing our baths he turned the project over to Steve Love, the project manager. Steve is the most professional project manager I have ever worked with. He knew exactly what needed to be done, made sure his team kept the house as clean as possible, consulted with us every step of the way when there were minor decisions to be made (fortunately there were no major surprises), and scheduled things to move smoothly through the process. Steve showed up virtually daily to examine the previous days progress and making sure the team knew what needed to be done that day.

I would check the work at the end of the day and occasionally find things that needed to be addressed, but invariably Steve would find even more! A true perfectionist. In the end the project did take a few days more than originally scheduled, but we'd rather miss a deadline by a few days and make sure things are done right than hurry up in order to meet a schedule.

In the end we now have two bathrooms that far and away exceed the expectations we had going in. You hear and read horror stories about construction projects and contractors that go so badly that they end up in lawsuits, bitter feelings and people having to live with and look at lousy workmanship for years to come. I think the proof in the pudding here is that Steve, his wife Marisa, Denise and I are now friends and enjoy each others company on a social level. John & Denise Goodman Oak Park, California
