detail. Demolition of the old kitchen and installation of the new one was incredibly well organised and went exactly to plan. Everyone rang me to confirm their attendance exactly when expected and then turned up exactly on time. I don’t think I have ever had the pleasure of working with such a well organised company. I was also very happy with the price and felt I had excellent value for money. The end product is beautiful and exceeded my expectations.

smoothly, and communication throughout the build was clear. Whenever we had a question, we got a response pretty quickly. The final measure was done personally before everything was completed, and the trades were well organized with no real hiccups along the way. The porcelain benchtop from Smart stone has also been a great choice. It looks fantastic, is easy to wipe clean and has been holding up really well against heat and stains. The cabinetry was measured and fitted really well, with no noticeable gaps. Overall, we’re very happy with the quality of the build and the personal service from Krauss, and would definitely recommend them.

Kitchens U Build
- See all
I honestly cannot speak highly enough of Kitchens U Build (KUB) Capalaba and especially Tracie — she was phenomenal from the moment we walked into… Read more
the Capalaba store.
To be completely transparent, I was a very reluctant participant at the start. I wasn’t convinced we even needed a kitchen revamp and I was absolutely adamant that I wanted only white cupboards and a white benchtop. That was the first time (and definitely not the last!) I heard Tracie gently ask, “Are you sure?”
What followed was nothing short of mind-blowing.
Tracie introduced ideas we had never even considered — and somehow they turned out to be exactly what we wanted. There were no pushy sales pitches, no pressure, just patience and expertise. She worked with us while we dithered over decisions and she very quickly realised that I’m a visual person. Instead of telling me how something would look, she showed me. She patiently walked me through layouts and finishes, waiting for me to catch up with what she already knew would work beautifully.
Tracie didn’t just help us choose cupboard facings and benchtops — she completely reimagined our space. Working solely from our badly hand-drawn scribbles (and without ever seeing our home in person!), she suggested shifting a wall by 60cm. That one change transformed how we could use the entire wall and dramatically improved the functionality of our kitchen.
She helped us design not only our dream kitchen, but also a butler’s pantry/laundry that is both stunning and incredibly practical. We knew we had absolutely nailed the design when I realised I can literally spin in place to unpack the dishwasher — no more walking all over the kitchen to put things away. It just works.
Once everything was selected, checked and rechecked, installation was booked in. Unfortunately — and through no fault of KUB — the installation coincided with Cyclone Alfred and we lost power for five days. Yet even then, KUB went above and beyond. Bruce turned up with his generator and radio and just kept building cupboards like an absolute professional (and tolerated having a 5 and 1 year old under his feet). That level of commitment and dedication speaks volumes.
We did experience a couple of minor hiccups — the porcelain backsplash didn’t align perfectly, and the stone contractor installed stone instead of porcelain in the pantry. But once again, Tracie handled everything immediately and without hesitation. There was no argument, no defensiveness — just swift action to have everything corrected as soon as possible at no additional cost to us.
When the kitchen and pantry were complete, Tracie personally came out to inspect everything herself to ensure it was perfect — and it absolutely was.
We cannot thank Tracie and the entire KUB team enough. They didn’t just renovate our kitchen — they transformed our home. Their patience, creativity, professionalism, and genuine care made what could have been a stressful process an incredibly positive experience.
If you’re considering a renovation, do yourself a favour and visit KUB Capalaba. You’ll be in the very best hands.
Smith & Smith Kitchens

We recently completed a full kitchen renovation at our home in Doncaster with Smith & Smith Kitchens and couldn’t be happier with the result. From… Read more
the initial consultation through to final installation, the entire process was smooth, well organised, and professionally managed. The team really took the time to understand what we wanted and helped guide us through the layout, materials, and overall design to make the most of our space.
We had a clear vision for a modern, functional kitchen with custom cabinetry and high-quality finishes, and they absolutely delivered. The attention to detail was excellent, and the final result exceeded our expectations.
Communication was another standout. We were kept informed throughout the entire renovation, timelines were clearly outlined, and everything was completed on schedule — which made the whole experience feel stress-free.
If you’re in Doncaster or surrounding Melbourne suburbs and looking for a reliable kitchen renovation company that delivers premium results, I’d highly recommend Smith & Smith Kitchens.

As with any renovation, there were a few small mishaps along the way, but the team was always quick to fix any issues or errors without hesitation. They were patient, understanding, and committed to making sure everything was completed to a high standard.
All of the tradesmen were friendly, professional, and a pleasure to have in my home.
Thank you so much to Elyce the interior designer. She had a great eye for detail and provided guidance and support.
A special thank you to Max Ryan for all of his help and support throughout the entire project. He's clearly a very busy man, but he always did his best to keep everything moving and ensure the job was completed. His dedication and communication were truly appreciated.
I love my new kitchen and would happily recommend this company to anyone looking for a quality kitchen renovation.

Sydney Style Kitchens

A year ago, Marcel from Sydney Style Kitchens renovated my kitchen. I was so happy with the result that I had him back shortly afterwards to renovate… Read more
my laundry. This time, I asked him to take on the bathroom and powder room—and again he certainly did not disappoint.
There was a real skill for understanding what I wanted and bringing it to life-turning it into a space that looks even better than I imagined. He has an eye for detail and a strong sense of how to make a room both beautiful and practical. He talked me through the work, kept me updated as it progressed, and delivered a bathroom and powder room with a gorgeous luxe finish. His workmanship stands out in the finishing touches. Everything looks neat, carefully considered and beautifully put together. You can see the care and skill behind the result.
The installers and the whole team were wonderful. They were always friendly and respectful of my home, and they cleaned up after themselves each day. That made living through a renovation so much easier, and their pride in their work shows throughout. I am extremely happy with all the renovation results and the recent bathroom renovations have highlighted what I already knew- Sydney Style Kitchens -deliver every single time. Don t hesitate, call Sydney Style Kitchens today for your renovation or building needs.

Twelve years ago we renovated our entire home except the kitchen — and now, thanks to Dan Kitchens, that final piece has been completed. From the… Read more
moment we walked into the Seven Hills showroom, I knew we were in the right place. We arranged for Vagn to visit our home to assess the space, take measurements, and discuss possibilities. A few weeks later we saw the rendered design, and it was as though he had read my mind. He created the perfect kitchen for us. Every stage of the project ran exactly as outlined in the contract. Even when a small hiccup occurred with the cooktop the day before completion, Vagn personally drove to collect a replacement so Reece, the electrician, could install it the next morning — ready for handover. Although we were living off‑site and didn’t meet most of the team, we did meet Greg. Every business should have a “Greg”. His meticulous attention to detail ensured everything was finished perfectly — and it truly was. We are extremely happy with Dan Kitchens and all their trades. They have created a warm, welcoming, and stunning kitchen that is ready for us to entertain in. It has become the new Heart of our Home.

Thank you to everyone at United Stone for an excellent job! Without hesitation, they would be my first choice for porcelain benchtops.
The Good Guys Kitchens

Worst customer experience from design to warranty – I wanted to bring to your attention a recent experience I've had with Good Guys kitchens from a kitchen installation and the subsequent service we've… Read more
received. From the very beginning, the process has been less than satisfactory. When we were in the design phase, the designer seemed more concerned about their soccer game than helping us. This lack of attention to detail carried over into the installation phase, where we were told we were short on cupboards and had to revisit the designs all over again. The warranty process has been equally frustrating. The customer service and support have been disappointing, to say the least. We've had our kitchen for only a few years, and the laminate has already started bubbling badly. To make matters worse, the colour we originally chose has been discontinued, and their suggestion to match it with what they have in stock is not feasible since it won't match the existing colour in the middle of the kitchen. Additionally, we have had ongoing issues with soft closing hinges, drawer runners and slides, despite paying extra for a 25-year warranty. Now we are being told to deal directly with the supplier, which is not acceptable. It feels like we paid a significant amount of money, only to be left with the impression that our problems are not their concern. In summary, the product and customer service have been subpar. I wanted to share this with you in the hope that we can address these issues and prevent similar experiences for others in the future.

What to consider before you shop around
Define your needs
Before you even start looking for a kitchen renovator, it’s a good idea to figure out what you want out of your kitchen.
Consider the following questions:
- What’s your budget?
- What do you need from your kitchen?
- How many people do you cook for?
- Are you renovating just some aspects of the kitchen or doing a complete makeover?
- What appliances do you need?
After you’ve established the basics, it’s a good idea to think about the logistics of your plan, so ask yourself questions like:
- Are you pressed for time? If you want your kitchen renovated sooner rather than later, then you might want to avoid kitchen renovators that manufacture their cabinetry and components overseas. If there’s an issue with your cabinetry, it may take a while to order in new parts.
- Do you want a custom designed kitchen? Many companies offer custom designed kitchens to suit your exact style and preferences, but not all do.
- Are you just renovating your kitchen or other areas of your home? If you want fit outs for other parts of your home (such as wardrobes and entertainment units), then look for a renovation company that can do these designs as well.
Kitchen layout
The right kitchen layout will help ensure that your kitchen is functional, easy to use, and easy to clean. If you’re able to play around with the layout, make sure that the area isn’t too cramped and that there’s enough space for cooking, cleaning, and storage. If you like to entertain, this might affect the layout too.
You might also want to consider aiming for a ‘kitchen work triangle’, which positions the cooktop, sink, and fridge in a triangle so that it’s easy to go between them. Of course, if you’re opting for a single wall kitchen, a triangle won’t be possible, but you can still place these three areas evenly apart.
The four main kitchen layouts are:
- Gallery
- U-shaped
- L-shaped
- Single wall
Cabinetry
Cabinetry will account for most of the cost of renovation. You can choose from already assembled cabinets (such as those you’d find from Ikea) or custom-made cabinets. While already assembled cabinets are cheaper, they can be difficult to find in the right size for your kitchen.
How about kitchen refacing?
There’s also the option to reface your kitchen. This means that you keep the existing cabinetry but just replace the doors, drawer fronts, and exterior components. This is a cheaper option that’s suitable if your cabinetry is in good condition but you still want to change up its style.
Benchtop
Some benchtop materials include (but aren’t limited to):
- Engineered stone: durable, easy to clean, resistant to staining and scratching, and comes in range of colours (you can even have flecks of stone through it).
- Laminate: relatively cheap, resistant to staining, easy to keep clean, and comes in a wide range of colours and designs that can imitate more costly materials like timber and stone. However, it can be susceptible to scratching.
- Timber: needs to be coated with food-safe oil to protect it and requires recoating every year or so.
- Stainless steel: heat resistant and durable.
- Marble: quite porous and pricey, but with the right maintenance you can keep it looking spick and span.
- Porcelain: dense, non-porous, durable, and very resistant to heat and stains.
Appliances
A lot of your budget will go towards your kitchen appliances (if you’re getting new ones). You can read buying guides and user reviews for the following:
- Ovens, including freestanding ovens and wall ovens
- Cooktops, including gas, induction, and electric cooktops
- Range hoods
- Fridges
- Dishwashers
- Microwaves
What to look for in a kitchen renovation company
Licensing
It’s your responsibility to ensure the tradespeople you contract are licensed and insured. Any plumbing or electrical work has to be done by a professional, so do your homework before you commit to a kitchen renovation company.
Materials
Some companies have partnerships with certain appliance brands, so if you’re set on fitting out your kitchen with, for example, Smeg appliances, then make sure the renovator can accommodate this.
If the renovation company also owns the factory where their cabinets are made, then that can indicate that they have more control over quality as well as timing. Choosing local manufacturing can also have the benefit of a lower carbon footprint and faster delivery of goods.
Customer service
The best way to figure out what a renovator is like to work with is to read reviews from their customers. Look for how professional and friendly they are, how their project management skills were rated, and whether the tradespeople who came to reviewers’ homes were punctual, tidy, and explained what they were doing.
Cost
What you spend on your kitchen renovation will depend on your budget, where you live, your design and style preferences, and the current value of your home. A common rule of thumb is to spend somewhere between 5 and 10% of your home’s total value on redoing your kitchen.
Warranty
A good indicator of the quality of a renovation company’s materials and construction is the warranty that they offer. Many kitchen renovation companies will offer a 10-year warranty on their cabinetry - this general shows that they back their products and service.
Ask for a written guarantee
If you’re undertaking a kitchen renovation with a company, ask for a written guarantee on the work and material supplied. This will help ensure that the work is completed to a high standard and meets all necessary regulatory guidelines.
The bottom line
It’s important to feel completely confident in and comfortable with the kitchen renovation company you choose to go with. You should feel at ease asking as many questions as you need before committing to anything, and not feel pressured into making a decision.
Take your time, decide on what you want, and consider your options to ensure you end up with a kitchen that you love to spend time in.
