The Kitchen Connection team did an amazing job to our new kitchen. We had a fantastic experience with them starting from showroom, Brisbane home show… Read more

and towards the completion of our kitchen. First, Cheryl and co of Helensvale showroom showed us variety of designs and features to match our vision and budget. Her professionalism towards us made us feel comfortable dealing with KC. From there, we booked in a KC designer John to do site measure and quote and lock in our kitchen design. We had no issues changing or adjusting the layout/cabinets we wanted and eventually seen the 3D model of what it looks like at the end of session which was nice. After, we also had a flexibility to add/remove/upgrade items to suit our needs and John happily adjusted the costings. Finally, Jeremias our customer support manager overseen the build and did an amazing job for us. Like any other builds, we also had a minor hiccups like a tradie got sick and did not show up work, but this was rectified quickly by sending a replacement the next day. For the tradies KC used, they are very good, polite and professional. The plumbers and electrician seem to get along very well working at the same time and space. We just had one issue with the aircon unit not working after relocating to different spot to make way for gas connection but again this was fixed in time and even replaced the aircon unit brand new at no cost to us.

Overall, our experience with KC has been very positive and we highly recommend to anyone who is planning for new kitchen. Go to one of the showroom and KC will explain to you the overall process. KC will make your vision come to reality!

start. I was impressed from my first visit to the Pymble showroom where delightful Amanda went to great lengths to show me the various options and cemented my decision to go with Nobby. Designer Anthony was outstanding and spent more than three hours in my home devising a plan to make the most of the relatively small space available. In the more advanced planning stage he steered me towards the stone benchtops and splashbacks which look stunning. But everyone I came into contact with was exceptional. Project Manager, Gil, steered the schedule efficiently and was pleasant and helpful at all times. Tradesmen I must mention in particular are Hassan who matched my cornice perfectly to the adjoining room, Jason who installed my cabinetry and tiler Mike, a perfectionist. In fact I cannot speak highly enough about all the tradesmen on the job who were very professional as well as meticulous in leaving the site clean each day. I would be more than happy to recommend Nobby Kitchens to anyone wanting a first class renovation.

We had looked at numerous different kitchen designs but it wasn’t till we met Richard (Flexi designer) that we knew we were being listened to and he had such a flair for making it even more than we expected. He is an absolute gentleman and delight to work with. We are absolutely delighted either way the end result in both the bathroom and laundry. We would like to also thank Luke (Scope Project Manager) for his patience, flexibility, calm nature and commitment to helping us get them both installed. We had to work with so many different trades and moving timeframes. There were a few hiccups along the journey but each and every one of them was fixed, resolved without an issue. I have and do recommend Flexi Joondalup, the team are easy to work with and the design and quality of the cabinetry is superb. Thanks

kitchen and bathrooms.

We did have some idea of what we wanted but found that Dawn’s expertise was pivotal in making sure we had the best design that not only looked stunning but was very practical as well. She was very clever in guiding us and offering her concepts and ideas without being pushy or overbearing. We certainly did appreciate her professional manner and laugher as well.

With such a big renovation, a number of “tradies” came through our door. We live in an apartment block, so it was at times difficult gaining access, lifts, noise reduction and so on. At all times every tradie was respectful, mindful of our circumstances, on time and impeccable in cleaning up afterwards. More importantly, they were experts in their field, knew their profession, well experienced and if they had an apprentice assisting there was appropriate supervision. Ever so impressed.

Overseeing such a huge event we had the fortunate support of Paul Wilson. He was always available by phone, visited frequently and responded and offered excellent solutions if any little issue arose.

While all trade’s people were terrific, special recognition should be given to Ben ( Cabinet installer), Blake (Electrical) , Brad (Plumbing) and Robbie (Demolition). Also, not forgetting the lovely Eliza who managed the accounts.

We lived in the apartment while the work was being done and each trade was aware that our living circumstances were challenging at times, so they made allowances when required.

So a big thank you to Dawn and her amazing team. We now have a dream kitchen and stunning bathrooms.

So, it is with much pleasure we recommend Joyce Kitchens.

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.

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.

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.

A brightly lit kitchen with a marble benchtop, tiled walls and white cabinets.

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:

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.
