Kitchen Encounters Reviews

Could not have been more pleased with our kitchen and bathroom remodel. Dave, Eden, and their whole team became part of the family while doing the work, and they overcame so many obstacles that couldn’t have been foreseen given our older house. The outcome is completely amazing, and we absolutely love it!

We are extremely pleased with the renovation! Kitchen Encounters replaced our first floor flooring, completely renovated our kitchen, and second floor bathrooms, which brought our 1990s home up to date in a spectacular fashion. They achieved this through great worker integrity and communication. We were very pleased with them sticking to the work schedule presented prior to the renovation start. I received a call each morning communicating the expectations for the day which I found remarkable.
This renovation was headache free that resulted in a beautiful outcome.
Thank you for your integrity and the beautiful, functional outcome.

I cannot say enough good things about KE! The KE staff are fantastic, from Dave doing the design, Eden as project manager to Danelle as the coordinator. Every single subcontractor was the best that I have ever dealt with in their respective field. Competent, neat, dependable, friendly and even tolerant of me asking stupid questions. I would not hesitate to bring them back for more work and highly recommend them.

We started our search for a kitchen designer and considered three companies. Hands down the best choice was Kitchen Encounters!
Dave White created a beautiful design that used the space we had and made the area much more functional. Once the contract was signed the project started with efficiency and stayed on track for the duration of the project. The subtractors were all very professional and friendly and to top it off…they were neat and tidy!
Eden and Gwen were so helpful in guiding us through the process of choosing cabinets, tile, flooring etc…Their knowledge of colors and textures guarantees a beautiful outcome.
The communication with Kitchen Encounters during the renovation was stellar. If an answer to a question was not immediately known there would be an answer by end of day. Their patience with people renovating for the first time was amazing and they gave thorough explanations.
You will not find a better design team than Kitchen Encounters. A++

Kitchen Encounters transformed our dingy, dated second floor bathroom into a clean, modern oasis. Dave, Eden, and the rest of the office staff were diligent in keeping us informed every step of the way. All of their subcontractors were professional and tidy. And their work is impeccable! Our bathroom looks so phenomenal! See for yourself …

My wife and I could not happier with our new Kitchen (which turned into most of the 1st floor!). From our first interaction with Dave, to our daily updates with Eden to the quality and personability of every crew, we have been beyond impressed. Dave and Eden worked with us to come up with a design that met our needs and budget. As we added things on, they exceeded expectations and very importantly with all the add ons still finished on the date promised. For anyone looking for quality work done by professionals with choose Kitchen Encounters. We would again!

Amazing experience! Highly recommend Kitchen Encounters.
My husband found them solely based on reviews, no other information and it was the best decision we made. Our kitchen looks spectacular! Every aspect of this process was seamless. Great communication, top notch craftsmanship, organized & thorough, clean & neat and great to work with! Thank you so much. This experience exceeded our expectations!

Dave and team. Thank you for my beautiful new kitchen. It is more than I imagined it would be or could be. Dave, I appreciated your ideas and so happy I went with them. You took my kitchen from the 1960’s and brought it into 2024. Your entire team was top notch. I’ll be calling you soon to discuss my bathrooms. I would recommend Kitchen Encounters to anyone considering a home renovation.

Kitchen Encounters did both a kitchen and a bathroom remodel for us. First, their design work was amazing. Miraculously, the kitchen has more counter space and more cabinet space while appearing to be larger and more open. It's also more functional and brighter. The house presented numerous challenges which were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Everyone who came to the house was friendly and professional. Finally, the communication throughout the process was outstanding! Thank you!

We used Kitchen Encounters for our kitchen renovation and we couldn’t be happier! Dave listened to what we wanted and came up with a beautiful design, we get so many compliments on the lovely upgrade. The daily calls from Danelle and frequent check-ins with Eden to let us know what to expect each day and answer any questions or concerns was so helpful to manage our own lives around the project. The team working on site were on time, very friendly and knowledgeable, and cleaned up at the end of every day. We will have them work on any future projects and would highly recommend them!

We love our new kitchen! The daily communication was outstanding and beneficial.

Kitchen Encounters performed a remodel of a bathroom and finished out our basement. We had a great experience with them! Our project was very complicated for various reasons including using a stone mason for the basement walls. Dave and Eden were always calm and ready with solutions. They provided a schedule for our three-month-long project and stayed on that schedule, along with providing me with a phone call each morning with a rundown of who was going to be in the house that day. All of the contractors were respectful of my home and my family. The project looks beautiful and we are so glad we did it and so glad that we used Kitchen Encounters!

From the start of the project till completion this family ran business was a pleasure to work with and the finish product is just wonderful. David White met with my wife and I to design our dream Kitchen. It was no easy task as A wall had to be removed to expand the former kitchen size. Dave gathered our ideas and also gave suggestions and then drew up the plan. We were provided a detailed quote depicting Material and labor. Once we signed the quote we were scheduled in and given detailed dates of work to be performed. To my astonishment they hit every single scheduled date! We were contacted every morning to check on how we were doing and to review that days schedule and to see if we had any questions. An assigned program manager checked on the job from time to time and met with us if we had any questions. The installers were very professional and courteous and made sure the job site was cleaned up everyday. We honestly couldn’t be any happier with the finished product. Thank you Kitchen Encounters (Dave White and family) for making our dreams come true!

I am happy to give Kitchen Encounters a 5 star review! They completely remodeled our kitchen. With such a big project, I was sure we would run into a few bumps - but I was wrong. The entire project and every communication was detailed, timely, and organized. I was impressed with every single employee and the work that was done - a lot of talent at Kitchen Encounters! It can be scary going into such a large project with a company you aren't that familiar but I can assure you that you will not be disappointed with Kitchen Encounters. They met and exceeded our expectations and will be recommending them to our friends and family.

Great experience with Dave and Eden and the entire crew who helped us renovate our home. Full renovation/design including new kitchen, new laundry room, new bathroom, and basically a full first floor renovation. Extremely responsive and great to work with, honest, polite, and great quality overall. So glad we found out about them and would use them for any interior renovation project.

Kitchen Encounters did a full remodel on our kitchen and 2 bathrooms - including the removal of a structural wall. We were completely satisfied with the full process - and the results. They were great to work with from the design through the renovation. Dave listened to us during the planning and came back with layouts that only required minor changes. During the actual construction Danelle kept us up-to-date on all the different contractors coming to our house (which was critical, since I work from home). Eden was always available by phone or on-site to answer any questions we had. Most importantly, the job came in ON BUDGET. No surprises or unnecessary change orders and we now have a kitchen (and 2 baths) we love.

From our initial encounter to the finished project, we felt Kitchen Encounters is the best company to work with. Their daily communication once the project got started is superb. We knew every day what would be happening. Who does that!

We had some definite ideas about our "aging in place" remodel but I say Dave helped to bring us into the 21st century while listening to what we envisioned for ourselves.

Staying on a schedule is a herculean effort that requires exceptional contractors who continually spoke highly of Dave and Kitchen Encounters but also were exceptionally skilled.

Kitchen Encounters made a stressful remodel easy. We gutted, redesigned and remodeled our entire kitchen while living in our house. The team was very accommodating, courteous and clean. Communication was excellent as they called us nearly every day to check on progress and update us on what was scheduled for the next day. The work was excellent, and we get compliments on our new kitchen all the time. We would definitely recommend Kitchen Encounters. Dottie and Keith Ehrhart - Mount Joy, PA

We chose Kitchen Encounters because of the confidence we quickly gained in our conversations with Dave, his family, and employees. We wanted a firm that would assist with design, deliver top quality product and work, and handle the details of scheduling and manage the project.

Dave's help with design ideas and Gwen's assistance with project selection delivered great value and we ended up expanding the scope of the project to include our entertainment area in the family room and the sunroom.

Kitchen Encounters delivered over and above what we expected! We have remodeled spaces that flow visually and have terrific function. We thoroughly enjoy our newly remodeled rooms!

They managed the project seamlessly and I received daily phone calls from Danielle or Eden with updates on details of the schedule and work being done. I always knew which subcontractors were expected the following day and what time to expect them. Their 'stable of subs' ALL reflected the quality and professionalism we came to expect from Kitchen Encounters and I cannot overstate our delight in working with the Kitchen Encounters team. They helped us achieve the transition from a new house to a home that intimately reflects our use, taste and style.
