High-quality products are hallmarks of every Island Kitchens & Baths project. “We work with America’s leading kitchen and bathroom manufacturers to offer you cabinetry, countertops and plumbing products that transcend common design boundaries,” says Testa.
“The use of superior products is crucial to design success and customer happiness with the end result.” His fusion of creative design and functionality has been applauded by more than happy clients. Here is what a few had to say: “At the onset of our remodel, we had many questions and a few ideas. Charlie helped us focus on a design that is both functional and visually pleasing. His attention to detail was of paramount importance, and it is manifestly evident in the result.” “A great professional kitchen designer is as important as a good architect. An architect may create the overall space, but a good kitchen designer is needed to sculpt the layout, design and aesthetics of the true ‘heart’ of the home... the kitchen. Charlie Testa did exactly that.” “Quality was foremost on our minds from the beginning of the project. Your professional approach gave us the confidence the job was going to be done right. The fit and finish of the cabinets, and the total look and functionality that was achieved is exactly what we had hoped you would accomplish for us, and you came through with flying colors.” Island Kitchens & Baths has received NARI NYC/LI CotY awards for outstanding kitchen & bath design/remodeling in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, Regional CotY awards 2005, 2007, 2010 and 2011, and National CotY awards 2005 and 2011.
