Great job Damco Kitchens – We recently completed a renovation of our bathroom, ensuite, and kitchen with Damco, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless, thanks in large part to the exceptional team at Damco, and especially our designer, Ajay. Ajay truly impressed us with his creativity, patience, and… Read more · 1
professionalism. His innovative and practical design ideas transformed our previous, smaller kitchen into a spacious, highly functional area with ample storage. The 3D renderings he provided were incredibly helpful in visualizing the final result and gave us a clear understanding of how everything would come together.
Ajay also guided us through the selection of materials and colours, presenting a variety of options that helped us choose the perfect combination to suit our style and needs. His expertise and attention to detail made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Damco and Ajay to anyone looking for top-quality design and renovation work.
stay away from this mob – damco renovated our kitchen and bathroom reno, they were awful to deal with. Underquoted by 30k, poorly done grouting that was running onto the tiles, bathroom was completed with no towel rack , kitchen bench that was longer than it meant to be, ended up overlapping onto our wall-frame, we had taps removed from the backyard that weren't even part… Read more
of the scope of work. electrical outlets with plates installed, with holes that havn't been patched up, STAY AWAY, DO NOT ENTERTAIN THESE GUYS. They may have been good 6, 7 years ago, but their service that we got was closer to - 1000 stars

Look no further, just choose Damco! – Look no further, just choose Damco! Damco's designer Ajay was brilliant from the getgo. He is definitely Damco's draw card and the reason why we chose Damco at the first place. Not for a moment did we have a feeling that he was pushy or money driven unlike representatives of other companies we were doing negotiations with at the time. We had… Read more
countless meetings with Ajay before committing ourselves to Damco and he was always utterly patient, inventive and understanding of our concerns regarding timing of our renovation (during the worst covid lockdown stage). He filled us with confidence that Damco would do a great job. Ajay's suggestions regarding wall extension, kitchen island and reshuffle of kitchen elements and appliances were brilliant. His 3D presentations were professional and creative. His extensive knowledge of materials was impressive. We love our opaque, antifingerprint, nanotech, soft to touch and very elegant kitchen cabinets. The next person Ajay introduced us to was Steve - out project manager. Steve is a master of his trade! His competence, responsivness and easy-going personality are next to none. I honestly cannot believe that you can find better project manager. We knew he would personally make sure we were completely satisfied. He familiarised us with Damco portal containing all the information regarding our renovation, calendar of all tradies' appointments and progress of the work with pictures and comments from each tradie. In the following weeks Steve bacame like a member of our family, always just a phone call away, visiting on a regular basis, making sure that everything goes smoothly and fixing things himself if anything left out by tradies. My husband is a builder and we discussed never seeing more approachable, hands on and honest project manager. All the trades were executed to the highest standard and appointments' time/dates respected. The product of Damco's team work is our brilliant kitchen and two years down the track we are still in love with it and grateful to Damco for this extraordinary experience.
Excellent Work, Great Result – After a long journey trying to find a Kitchen company to do our kitchen reno, we stumbled across Damco Kitchens in Clayton Vic, from start to finish can not speak highly of this kitchen company. From design stage, (which they will show you 3D image of what it will look like without having to put 10% down first like most company's) to final… Read more · 1
install. They were very professional and happy to answer any questions we had. Well Richard coped most of them. Kitchen costs were within our budget, and we got what we asked. But Again totally over the moon about our Kitchen and how it came together. The trades that came to do the job were all friendly and did amazing work. (trust me I was looking over there shoulder, as I WFH). Would highly recommend Damco Kitchens Clayton to family and friends. Photos below before and after. Hamptons style so pretty.
Total kitchen makeover – We wanted to modernise our 17 year old kitchen but did not have any idea on what would work for us. After visiting Damco kitchens, AJ, helped us design a complete makeover. This completely transformed our kitchen area and opened up the space to make the kitchen more usable and modern. The trades used to accomplish this were all very professional… Read more · 1
and precise in their work. Nikool was very attentive on the progress of the job and ready to accommodate us on any queries or concerns. Communication was excellent and I would recommend their work and business acumen.

Couldn't be happier, great process, fantastic outcome – We have recently updated our kitchen with Damco. We have undertaken many building projects over the years, and have had many dismal experiences with builders, but working with Damco was one of the best. The design process with Ajay was easy and he was very responsive to our needs and suggestions. I liked the transparency of the costing. If a… Read more · 1
feature was changed, he could tell us on the spot what the cost would be, as each component of the build was costed in the database. This gave us trust in the process and costing. Once the design was finalised, a schedule of the build was posted on the BuilderTrend platform. BuilderTrend is fantastic. The property was unoccupied, but we were able to see the progress as photos were posted each day. The schedule provided certainty for when each part of the build would be done, rather than waiting until the builder had time to turn up, as is often the case in building projects. We had excellent communication with Steve, our project manager, who coordinated all the tradies and ensured the build went smoothly. We are so happy with the final product. The quality of the cabinetry and build of our new kitchen is terrific, and it looks wonderful. Thanks to Ajay, Steve and the rest of the Damco Team.
My dream kitchen has come to life! – I have just completed a kitchen renovation with Damco Kitchens. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all involved in this project, starting with Rick the designer of my kitchen. As I live in an apartment I was limited in the space available to me but the Damco guys worked with the space I had, listened to my "dream list"… Read more · 1
and created a dream kitchen that seems and feels much bigger within the same space... VERY creative design and beautifully executed . My Project Manager, Richard who managed the project from measurements, demolition of old kitchen and throughout all aspects of the installation of new one, has been wonderful and in control of every part of the process. The Quality control of this project was exceptional. Richards team members, starting from the demolition guys, electrical and plumbing teams, to the delivery guys and installation of the new product, were, always on time, very professional, friendly and always tidied up upon completion (this was really appreciated). As i was still living in my apartment they went so far as to set up a little work space for me to be able to make tea and toast in the mornings.... I would thoroughly recommend Damco Kitchens to anyone considering a kitchen remodel/renovation. My new kitchen is one that I've dreamt of having for a long time and all within my budget. I am beyond happy. Thank you Rick, Richard and the team!
Our Damco Kitchen is Excellent – The Damco Kitchens Team created a wonderful kitchen at our Kew home. The design and build process has been excellent, which has produced a fantastic outcome. We are very pleased with all aspects of the Damco delivery. The design was special - a consultative process underpinned by great experience. The proof of this is no customer changes from… Read more · 1
first design and the immense satisfaction with the outcome after completion.
The building works went smoothly, and ahead of a tight schedule, just six weeks from demolition for completion of the Damco project and including two weeks for painting and flooring work.
Damco people are the quality factor. From reception and admin, through design, project management and the many trades we found a team of experienced people aiming to please the customer.
Schedules were met. The BuilderTrend website was useful in managing schedules and information.
Damco provided value adds through appliance, fittings and tiles with preferential service and price, these were much appreciated.
The cabinets and stone product are of the highest quality.
With any custom build there are issues to be resolved. In our case, any issues were inconsequential and satisfactory solutions found quickly.
We would not hesitate to recommend Damco for a kitchen project.

Sparkling new kitchen – Our kitchen was sevnty, tired years old. Ajay from Damco visted promptly and talked through oyur ideas and made suggestions. Steve was the Project Manager and his efficiency was impressive. We now have a fully renovated kitchen that certainly meets our expectations thanks to this impressive team. Everything was explained and detailed and the whole… Read more
weny to plan - thank you Ajay, Steve and to Diana as an effcient administrator. Damco will soon take on our old bathroom.
A perfect kitchen – We are so happy with our kitchen, everyone involved from Damco were helpful and really listened to our needs. We had a small area to work with but the team at Damco came up with a fantastic floor plan. We were impressed with the quality of the workmanship and products used. We would highly recommend them.
Great service in combination with product – When I 1st met the owner I was impressed from 1st sight, and he keep it that way all the way to final delivery in full on time!
Negative reviews
Lazy and ego driven – Don't request a 'free' consultation unless you're prepared to feed the ego of this company's designer. Even before he attended in person - which ultimately he didn't - he was talking telephone numbers in terms of cost, giving the firm impression he's a creative artiste who doesn't get out of bed for less than 20k. You're a kitchen designer mate, not Sandro Botticelli.
Hi Gary, We would like to apologise for the… Read more
Bad – Pathetic experience we had with Damco during the free consultation period with Damco’s designer [Name Removed] who asked us to pay $ 1000 on the free consultation session to calm his insecurity levels for his impractical designs.The most impolite designer [Name Removed], who had his mind set that I was there to take his designs for free in the… Read more
free consultation session as my spouse hadn’t showed up on time and also cause they were threatened by Masters being his competition for designing our home.They had the audacity to ask me and my partner to come back when both of would be present together or leave as they had too much work on his plate to entertain us for their self-held meeting. When we didn’t budge they bombarded us with questions relating to why we were present there when we had also consulted Masters to design our home as his competition.
His levels of insecurity dint come down till I raised my tone for indirectly distrusting us and creating a disruption to our meeting. They finally showed us his impractical kitchen design which took us 2 hours to re do by giving him ideas rather than he giving us.
Once the whole design was finalized and an average quote was given they asked for commitment from us by paying $1000 upfront on the “free consultation session”. We refused to do so as we needed to think over his ideas and get back to him with our research.
They dint believe us and refused to discuss the bathroom design and go ahead with the meeting. They also mentioned they dint care if we were upset with his behavior as they would get 99 other customers against losing one.
We wouldn’t recommend [Name Removed], a designer of Damco, to anyone as they wouldn’t work for you unless you satisfy his insecurity levels for his impractical design that is rather is below average and nothing extraordinary.

12months later i am still disapointed – Designing the kitchen was fabulous, selling us the kitchen was fabulous.... installing the kitchen a nightmare. It started from day 1 when the guys to remove the kitchen didn't turn up so the project manager started it... then the plaster broke into the house to "view the job" before he started... how could he break in? the house was without… Read more
locks for ten days when installing the double doors... then the cupboards were ordered the wrong size (we were asked to keep the smaller size and they would build into the wall to accommodate the fridge)... the sinks we had didn't fit the design (normal sinks)... the bench tops were too short so the cupboards were cut down to size exposing an unpolished portion of the flooring...the wooden bench tops are crap (although they do look good) ....the 2pak cupboards (they told us these were the best they supplied) are chipping......the list of issues with the kitchen goes on and on - no one cared. The French doors (purchased by us but installed by Damco) were "butchered" and cant be fixed because you cant replace wood that has been removed/hacked into (as suggested by two carpenters), however Damco weren't willing to pay for new ones and gave us $900 towards the claim of $2100 (to purchase and install new doors) without a reason why the claim was reduced. I look at the kitchen and am disappointed at how much it cost and how cheap it looks...sometimes it makes me just want to move house - dramatic I know but I am just so disappointed at such an expensive exercise.

I am thrilled to say that not only have Damco now repaired my Decton bench top, but I have also received a bonus of two beautiful wooden chopping boards that grace the bench top and look great. Thanks Nick for everything its made such a difference.

Thanks Damco.
Very happy with Damco Kitchens – It gives me immense pleasure to provide this recommendation to Damco Kitchens. I had a strict deadline from the initial contact with Ajay (Damco Design Consultant).

His showroom had all the colours for cabinets, stone, handles and any other requirements. This helped in fast track our project. His knowledge on designs, products and process was quite immaculate. He took a consultative approach rather being pushy at all.
Once the design was approved a great project manager Steve took over the process who came fully prepared on what has been designed along with next steps. I was quite amazed when I was told they have a software (Buildertrend) where I will be able to track the progress of the whole project. It articulated all project milestones along with dates. This helped impart a lot of confidence in me that Damco will be able to achieve the timeline. They continued to provide logs after every stage completion.
Damco has changed my perception towards trades. They have employed great trades people who are very polite, well mannered, well qualified and amazing with their workman ship. They did not cut any corners.
We had alternative quotes with similar pricing, but I guess you pay for what you get and we surely made the right choice choosing Damco. We are very thankful to Ajay and Steve for making our kitchen makeover such an amazing experience with their their exceptional service and workman ship.
We are beyond happy with our Kitchen. I would highly recommend Ajay and Steve from Damco Kitchens to everybody out there looking to get a new Kitchen and Bathroom renovation.

In particular being able to coordinate the new kitchen install around a major reno - removal of 2 walls & incorporating a new sliding door to our verandah - has resulted in an amazing area which has completely transformed our house.
