Reviews of McDaniels Kitchen & Bath (Interior Designer)

Kyla Gruen

McDaniels has an amazing showroom that really helped us make our decision for the cabinets we wanted. They have so much on display and being able to touch and feel the materials is exactly what we needed to know we were making the right decision. We've had a few people over since the cabinets were installed and those who know have commented on the quality of them and are really impressed. It's nice knowing that not only do we love our kitchen, but it will look good for a long time to come.

Dan Luck

After visiting other showrooms, I came away impressed at the wide selection of products and services McDaniels offers, Why visit a variety of stores when you can select and purchase from one location. Definitely, a time saver. And, their remodeling experience to execute a design is a huge bonus.

Jim Lovitt at McDaniels was our guide and mentor in the remodel of the master bathroom countertop and sink which was completed recently. His attention and responsiveness were superb. He never failed to answer my questions or return my calls promptly. His knowledge about materials and procedures was excellent. Because of our experience with Jim, we will return to McDaniels early next year for kitchen cabinet changes and remodeling. I work in a business where a high degree of professionalism and client care are critical. My expectations in terms of service I receive from others are high. Jim's work with us exceeded even my expectations. I recommend him and McDaniels without hesitation. Beth Baer

Everyone there is so friendly and so very helpful. Makes remodeling my bathroom and kichen super easy. They have great idea's, and the experienced carpenters to go alone with it!

Aaron Ohlrogge

We had high hopes for McDaniels, based on positive reviews from family members. Sadly, they don't seem to take much interest in responding to clients anymore. Jim L. came to our home to discuss replacing our kitchen counter tops. He seemed friendly and knowledgeable, and promised to send an estimate as well as schedule someone else to come and take exact measurements soon. Two months later, no estimate received and no measurements have been taken. We have left 3 voice mails, and sent two emails requesting follow-up, and no one has bothered to respond to us. It's been a frustrating experience, and now our kitchen remodeling is way behind schedule.

We worked with McDaniels to renovate our entire kitchen and were extremely happy with both the results and service. Our designer, Nichole Dagen, was attentive and took time to learn our style and was very helpful finding what we needed. All of the staff we worked with at McDaniels were friendly and helpful including the receptionists and were accomidating when we had to bring our kids to the design meetings with us. Our kitchen is long but thin which made our design requirements difficult to accomplish, but Nichole and others spent many hours helping us find ways to maximize the space we have we ended up with a design that greatly increased the feel of our kitchen size. I was impressed with their knowledge not only the products they offered to put in but also the effect it would have on the feel of the area, for example how the lighting would play against our peninsula counter along with optimal light fixture placement to balance. Modern trends were no issues, we requested a waterfall counter at the end of our peninsula and they installed it perfectly. McDaniels' parent company owns the contracting company, Granite Construction, who did the work for us which eliminated a lot of the planning and coordination as well as saved time since Nicole and the contractor could share plans and progress. We had contacted three other contractors to get estimates on the project but none were able to fit us in their schedules for at least 6 months out due to the size of the project, but the connection between McDaniels and Granite Construction got us started six weeks later. Granite was also great to work with. Each of their workers was very polite and professional and they were always responsive when communicating which is not always the case when working with a busy contractor. I felt the total price was very reasonable. McDaniels is able to order at a discount so the price was actually at or below the prices we would have paid had we purchased separately. We also purchased a new set of appliances through McDaniels and we paid about 5-10% lower for refridgerator, microwave, and dishwasher than we could find at Lows and Home Depot. The overall estimate was very close and they were honest about crediting any unused allocations.

The Skylit Letter

We were looking for a countertop for our new kitchen, we talked with Kelly in the showroom and found what we liked. She asked us to email a rough drawing for a quote, NEVER HEARD BACK FROM HER FOR OVER A WEEK. Sent a follow up email and called. Guess what? NEVER HEARD BACK FROM HER. Very poor customer service. will never shop there again or recommend them to friends.

First of all, designer Kelly Lusis was the perfect designer for us! She guided our choices without selecting, understood our budget and our wishes for our kitchen renovation. We were so thrilled with the outcome and Kelly’s help was integral to making it come to fruition. The cabinets and flooring we purchased through McDaniels was exactly what we wanted and we are very pleased. Price, durability, and quality of product was exactly what we were looking for. We did choose to utilize a contractor other than the “in house” contractor due to pricing, availability, and general information. We also purchased some other renovation products externally due to product and price. Again, very pleased with the cabinets and flooring purchased from McDaniels, the service was exceptional, and Kelly was the best!

McDaniels did an absolutely spectacular job with the kitchen remodel in my 30 year old home in Holt. From start to finish I had a wonderful experience. At the center of this experience was the designer Mekisha. She was excellent in helping me with selecting the cabinets, flooring, countertops, backsplash and hardware. When I started this endeavor, the selection process was especially concerning to me since my wife of 40 years had recently passed and I was forced to make all these decisions without her input. We had talked a lot about remodeling the kitchen but we had very few conversations about any specifics. Mekisha was very kind, compassionate and understanding of my situation, put me at ease, and gave me invaluable advice from a “female prospective”, which I desperately needed. I absolutely love the result! More importantly to me, I really feel that my wife would have loved the result too, especially the sparkle of the quartz countertops. Yeah Mekisha!! The scheduler/work coordinator, Terry, was super and kept everything progressing on schedule. He was always a great communicator and let me know when the workers were going to be there and when they were not going to be there. Even though we had some delays in the finishing work, the causes of the delay were beyond his control, he made every effort to keep me informed and finish the work as quickly as possible. Even though he is a Michigan fan, he is an extremely nice guy and had the beautiful green cabinets installed without too much hastle. The construction crew, headed by James, were especially great and did superb work. Their attention to detail and fine workmanship certainly made the final product, especially the built-in buffet, an absolute masterpiece. My dog is still sulking since she no longer has daily visitors to pay attention to her and love her up. Thank you so much to the entire McDaniels and Granite Construction team. I love my new kitchen and I loved my remodeling experience.

Jenna was very good to work with . She listened to our wants ,needs and concerns and managed to take care of them all. If we had questions she would return our calls in a very short time. The tradesmen did an excellent job on building and keeping the area clean as the work progressed. Dave Feldpausch of Granite construction was very easy to work with also answered any questions and took care of any concerns that we had. I highly recommend McDaniels for any home remodeling that you may need done.

Jennifer Hampton

Julie Johnson is incredible to work with and McDaniel's showroom is second to none. Great selection, amazing design service, and extreme attention to detail. I highly recommend Julie and her team

Judy Horning

Several months ago I decided to upgrade my kitchen. My plan is to sell my home several years from now and know my home needs to be move-in ready. I started with the installation of a new floor and quickly realized I needed new countertops. At this point I decided to enlist the assistance of McDaniel’s Kitchen and Bath. I was introduced to Kelly who scheduled a time to come to my house, take measurements, pictures and make recommendations. Kelly’s time and effort, of course, cost a nominal fee. My idea for new countertops quickly morphed into a complete kitchen remodel. My friends and family pestered me to remove the wall between the kitchen and dining room, which would open up my already open floor plan. When Kelly and the contractor I chose for the remodel suggested the same, I decided it was time to remove the wall and replace everything in the kitchen. Best decision I’ve made in a long time. Kelly and her co-worker Tracie worked diligently to find cabinets and countertops to match the existing kitchen floor and hickory floors from the dining room. It took many trips back and forth between all of us with countertop, cabinet and flooring samples before making a final decision. Decisions were made and dates set for the beginning of the project. I was told by the contractor, the process would take approximately six weeks. I think in a perfect world, this could be an accurate estimation of time, but something always happens to delay a project. Vacations, illnesses, change orders, material delays, etc. With a project of this magnitude, my expectation was perfection. Two of the cabinets delivered were the wrong size. I’m not sure of the origin of the problem, but Aaron from McDaniel’s had replacement cabinets delivered by the next week. When the appliances arrived, the contractor pointed out the oven/stove top was not dual fuel, as I had requested. A miscommunication resulted in me getting an electric oven/stove top. I signed off on every single page of ordered material; therefore, this was partially my fault and one I would have to live with. Nope! Aaron worked with me to get the dual fuel oven/stove top I wanted. Once again, perfection was expected and met. Several thoughts and suggestions for going through a remodel process: Carefully read every page of your order before signing or initialing. You’re going to be excited to get the process going. Make sure you’re getting what you want. Be patient. Your house is going to be a mess and in disarray for a while. Even though your contractor will put up visqueen to separate the remodeled area from the rest of your home, there will still be dust. Be present or have someone you trust present during the process. There will be questions, some of significance, which require immediate answers. Time lines are only estimates. More than likely your project will take longer than estimated. There are a number of people involved in the process (electricians, painters, plumbers, deliveries), all of whom can cause a hiccup. Get to know the designers working with you. You don’t need to be best buds, but knowing them and them knowing you helps with design decisions. I highly recommend McDaniel’s for kitchen or bath remodels. They have knowledgeable and friendly staff. There are a multitude of displays. There are many samples of countertop materials, backsplash materials, flooring, hardware, etc. If they don’t have what you’re looking for, they don’t hesitate to recommend other resources such as Builders Plumbing and Heating Supply and Builder’s Hardware.

BEST RESULTS EVER from working with Jenna/McDaniels. All new kitchen - everything went smoothly and timely: design, measurements, selections, construction, granite install, appliances! HIGHLY recommend! Our kitchen is FLAWLESS!

Carol Peek

I have used McDaniels for three projects, the latest a small guest bathroom. Nicole Dagen was extremely helpful in picking out exactly what I had in mind. I chose to keep the wallpaper and replaced the vanity and flooring. The finished project is perfect.

William McClay

We were so pleased with McDaniels on the outcome of our kitchen/living area and bath upgrades that we decided to use them again a month afterward for window treatments. On the first project, Tracie Tiedt was marvelous as she helped us coordinate the selection, order and installation of a quartz kitchen counter-top, four laminate counter-tops and two Marbelite bath vanities that would complement our existing cabinetry. The counter-tops and vanities arrived on schedule and each of the installers were very professional and did a superb job of fitting them to our cabinets and walls. Tracie also also arranged for one of their sub-contractors to refinish an existing Corian counter top that was showing 34 years worth of scratches and chips and now it looks like a new install. On our second project, Julie Johnson, our window treatment contact, was a joy to work with and her pleasant personality complimented her many years of experience in this business. She listened attentively to our needs, desires, preferences and our concerns then expertly guided us through the various choices for our 13 windows, sliding glass door, and a 10' picture window. When asked, she freely offered her opinions and helped us to consider ideas we hadn't thought of. She made two trips to our home, one to assist with the final selection and color choices and one to measure for all the windows. She kept us appraised of when the orders went in and the delivery schedule. Julie carried on the excellence we experienced from McDaniels staff in our first project and we highly recommend them.

Holly Johnson

By far the worst company I've ever worked with. Not only were mistakes continuously made, there was no accountability just excuses. Apparently a $18k job isn't big enough for them. I have a laundry list of issues, setbacks, and communication issues even after working with 2 different designers and having the owner out to visit my home! A visit which basically ended with my husband telling him were were finished and asking him to leave our home because he was so unhelpful and showed no concern for the issues we'd been having. For my project, I was adding one floor to ceiling wall oven cabinet to my kitchen, putting in an island, new countertops and new backsplash. I stopped everything once the cabinet was ordered because I had had enough. I don't understand how this company is in business. I'm all about giving local companies business, but this was a DISASTER. They need some serious customer service and communication training. Multiple times I'd go weeks without a promised call back or email. It got to the point where they had to find out second had from our 3rd party countertop template guy that we were no longer doing business with them. I wouldn't wish working with McDaniels on my worst enemy it was that bad.

Duane Stiles

Carrie Sieffert was our designer. My wife and I are truly happy with the results. Have just stood and admired it a number of times. Her help with selecting the items, and the design were excellent. We picked a floor that when it arrived it just didn't look good with the rest. Carrie went to work and got it authorized to change and helped us pick a better match, it's beautiful. Granite Construction did a great installation, everything on time. What a pro carpenter they have in Rich, great work.

Michelle Thelen

We visited the showroom and had great customer service Spent a lot of time explaining exactly what we were looking for our new kitchen. They took down all of our information including our kitchen measurements and contact information. Weeks went by with no response from McDaniels. We called and the person who answered the phone said we were not in their system. Thankfully I had a business card so I had the name of the person that we worked with. She wasn't available so we left a message. No response to our message so we called back 4 days later. Again no response. Called again a third time we finally got to speak to her. She said she would have something for us in a couple days. It's now a week and a half later and still nothing. This is terrible customer service and follow up. I wouldn't recommend McDaniels Kitchen and bath to anyone.

Remodel of kitchen and bathrooms Julie Johnson was the consultant for the remodel of our kitchen and three bathrooms. The kitchen is now a professional kitchen. It's gorgeous! We had two bathrooms remodeled while we were home, and we had the master bathroom done while we were on an extended leave. Julie was excellent to work with. She brought samples to the house which showed that some of what I had picked wouldn't work. She also secured large samples rather than the tiny pieces on the boards, and that's how we knew our first pick wouldn't work. Julie took a lot of time to make sure the pieces would work together. The people who worked here are consummate professionals. The tile experts were phenomenal. When they had a question or concern, they talked to me about what I wanted, then they delivered. McDaniel's hires excellent contractors. They were so good about checking in and keeping us apprised of what was happening. The quality of plans, materials, and contractors is outstanding. We are extremely pleased with our experiences with McDaniel's Kitchen and Bath.

Christa Oesterle

Love my new bathroom! After 2 years of planning and designing with Mekisha, many emails and revisions in the design, we finally have the final result and I couldn’t be happier! Mekisha was there, every step of the way with great advise, patience and ideas. Thank you Mekisha!

Carol Mogle

McDaniels did a BEAUTIFUL job on our kitchen remodel! Julie, our designer, was so helpful in suggesting a layout as well as ideas for cabinets, counter top, etc. Everyone in the construction crew was so knowledgeable, talented, and respectful. We would highly recommend McDaniels for any kitchen/bath project! Thanks McDaniels for creating my dream kitchen! Carol M.

Jennifer Griffin

Had a very small master bathroom remodel done by McDaniels. I don’t know how they did it but this bathroom looks and feels twice as big now. We love our new bathroom and it wouldn’t look this amazing if McDaniels wasn’t a part of it. They were our first choice when we made the decision to bring our bathroom into the 21st century. From the amazing design (Nicole) the craftsmanship of the workers (all super nice) and the attention to detail by the project manager (Terry) , We couldn’t be more pleased!

Christina Snyder

My experience thus far with McDaniel's has been more than satisfactory. Kelly Souden designed our kitchen and I can't adequately put into words how wonderful the experience of working with her has been. She's actually designed 2 kitchens for us: The first one was to be in the original footprint of our current kitchen, and that design was great, we loved it. But it wasn't until we saw her first design that we realized we really wanted to go bigger and expand into the dining room. I felt so guilty about the many many hours Kelly had put into the original design and I was worried she would be upset when we asked her to start over. Not so! Ever gracious, Kelly not only designed an entirely new kitchen, which required another visit to our house and many design meetings, but she did it with just as much of her characteristic enthusiasm as our first design. My husband and I have been impressed with her vision and creative problem-solving from the start, but what we've appreciated the most is her uncanny ability to get to the heart of what you really want in your design, even if you cannot articulate it yourself. Her intuition pairs very well with her zeal and talent for design, and we cannot wait to see the finished product!

Paul Denherder

Kelly Lusis did a fantastic job helping us design our entire kitchen including countertops, cabinets and flooring. We had looked at other cabinet stores, but we were able to get it done quickly and to our liking with Kelly and McDaniel's Sales help. We recommend them to others.

Veronica Flores

Thank you McDaniels for my beautiful kitchen. Especially, John Michaels for your precise measurements and design. Your in-depth knowledge made me at ease and confident that I made the right decision to stay with you as my designer. A special thank you to Jeremy Craig and his crew. Your team was absolutely incredible to work with. They showed up on time! Nice bedside manners! They listened to my concerns and followed through. Efficiency at its best!!! Excellent craftsmanship! I love my kitchen. Veronica Flores

Danielle G.

McDaniels was a referral from our builder, and we couldn't be HAPPIER with our experience there! Start to finish, our McDaniels experience has been efficient, friendly, and prompt! Jenna took the time to meet with us on multiple occasions (sometimes, without an appointment scheduled) to ensure that all of our questions were answered; we changed the look of our plans multiple times, and Jenna never seemed impatient or rushed in her service to us. Prompt email communication, returned phone calls, and advice regarding services and products provided. Great showroom and excellent customer service (especially Jenna!). We will be going back for any future kitchen/bath needs!

Gary Davis

McDaniels redid our master bath. That is why we went for another remodeling project.

Rick Brown

After having our two bathrooms remodeled last year and our 30 year old kitchen totally remodeled this summer we highly recommend Mcdaniels for your next renovation project. Julie Johnson’s expertise and advice were greatly appreciated. We have had multiple compliments on our kitchen. Granite construction did an excellent job and were almost always on schedule. We are so glad we chose Mcdaniels to make this possible.

jackie Scott

Julie Johnson was our designer for our total kitchen remodel. It is exactly what we wanted. Everyone was very responsive of our wishes and needs. The whole job stayed completely on schedule and we did not have one day of delay. Granite Construction did the installation and they were also as fantastic as McDaniels and Julie. I added some before and after photos but they don't do justice to the amount of work that was done and the joy I feel working in my new kitchen. Don't hesitate, use McDaniels!!

L B

My husband and I were very happy with our remodel/update experience with McDaniels. Our designer was wonderful to work with and had patience through several changes we had over the course of the planning stages. The installation went well from staying on schedule, to the quality of the workmanship, to the beauty of the finished projects. We could not be happier to be able to see the concept we dreamed about come into reality!

William Davidson

This is a great company. We have worked with them for 24 years. Recently, they assisted with repair of kitchen cabinets. The Designer, Jenna Wey, provided professional, timely, and efficient assistance in refurbishing our kitchen cabinets. We couldn't be more pleased. The new drawer/door fronts look great and this is attributable to her talent for and care in executing such a project. The installation was seamless and efficient. Again, thank you so much.

Jenn Zillins

So much went wrong...our experience with a certain sales woman did not go well. She rescheduled our appointments three times until finally after 6 weeks of waiting, she came to the house to do an estimate on our bathroom. She was not friendly, in a hurry. Anyway we left voicemails, emails and no one bothered to return our messages. Finally we called again and someone the sales woman responded and said she finally finished the measurements. Finally we got a quote for an exuberant amount of money $25,000 to renovate a small bathroom in an old house. Instead, we decided to hire a licensed handyman whose specialty is bathrooms and kitchens and our total including materials was $10,000.

Amina Mohamed

We had such high hopes when we left the show room! Jim responded promptly the next day and came to our home for measurements. However, he never sent the estimates. We followed up with voicemails and talked to different people. We never got a response back.

Steve Young

A couple of years ago we had McDaniels Kitchen & Bath redo our bathroom. They did such a great job with that, we hired them for a complete kitchen renovation project. The care and quality of the workmanship is second to none! The scheduling is handled with little down time between the contractors. Our designer, Nicole Dagen was excellent and helped with the fun, yet time consuming task of coordinating colors and materials. We would highly recommend McDaniels to anyone with a home remodeling project.

C. Curtis

Knowledgeable staff,with great selections of cabinets, appliances, everything to remodel your kitchen or bath! Top notch! Kudos

Amanda McVeigh

We love Julie Johnson! We've worked with her many times and continue to do business with her. She's patient, thorough and almost always available.

Nicholas Povey

This place has a great showroom and super helpful staff!

Howland Boyer

What nice people, I was greeted when I walk in and could not believe all the displays. It was so nice and the designers where so knowledgeable. Look at this display they explained they can change some thing around to meet the budget.

Julie W

Mekisha Johnson was wonderful to work with. Very knowledgeable and a great designer and might I add patient. She'll go above and beyond to find you the right solution. McDaniels has one of the best showrooms I've seen with so much to offer in cabinet lines, counter tops and tile. You just can't go wrong working with Mekisha at McDaniels.

Jay Young

We absolutely could not be happier with our new kitchen. Five Stars for everything... Design, Product Quality, & Service. We highly recommend McDaniels Kitchen & Bath. Thank you!

Steve Vernon

This a top notch company with top notch customer service. From the first time I walked in and met Nicole, things went great. The design was quick and professional. I would highly reccomend this company if you want a great looking kitchen.
