"We are delighted to have chosen Kiwi Kitchens to create our new kitchen because of the impressive quality of their work, strong attention to detail, and great customer service. I would highly recommend Joe, Janice, Debbie, and the team at Kiwi Kitchens."

 

"Our journey with Kiwi Kitchens first began with Debbie the ‘SuperStar’ designer of our beautiful renovation. Her patience, knowledge and experience was truly amazing and we are truly grateful for having her on board. Once our design was finalised we then moved onto Janice who again was such a pleasure to deal with. Nothing was a problem and her experience was again a godsend. Always available to discuss any issues, which to be fair there were not many but she made herself available constantly and for that we were truly appreciative. Once the behind the scenes team had made everything it was then Joe who entered our lives and began the process of installing everything, our renovation involved a completely new designed laundry, scullery and huge kitchen space. My Blum Pull Out Pantry is fantastic, ironing board in a drawer wouldn’t be without, soft close drawers in scullery best decision ever, large cutlery drawers I just love! There is absolutely nothing I would change at all in the kitchen/scullery or laundry. Would I recommend Kiwi Kitchens? Absolutely! Would I use Kiwi Kitchens again in another property? In a heart beat. Quality people. Quality product. Quality service."

 

"Kiwi Kitchens were an absolute delight to work with. Right from the get-go Debbie did an amazing job of design. Janice organised the trades staff (which she did brilliantly). Joe sang his way through installation. Totally recommend Kiwi Kitchens."

 

"Amazing experience. We were contacted within 24 hours, and a site inspection was done by the next day. A design plan and quote was received, even before any other company which we had contacted had even bothered to reply to us! The design was wonderfully effective, and everything that we had wanted to change from the old kitchen was highlighted to us by the designer anyway. All work was completed in the times agreed upon, communication was great, and everyone was friendly and easy to work with. We now have a beautiful new kitchen which is extremely functional, and we just love it!"

 

"We are delighted with our new kitchen. Our kitchen has been transformed into a beautiful open space that now works so well for family. We were first time renovators and found the entire team at Kiwi Kitchens amazing to work with. Debbie really listened to what we wanted (and didn’t want) in a kitchen and came up with a great design that functions so well. Joe and Janice were just fantastic to work with excellent communication throughout the whole process. The electrician, builder and plumber recommended by Kiwi Kitchens were also great and worked seamlessly with the rest of the team. We would highly recommend Kiwi Kitchens. Thank you so much for our beautiful new kitchen."

 

"Absolute professionals right from the first contact. Excellent level of communication throughout the project and they worked around my schedule. So happy with my beautiful functional kitchen and wouldnt hesitate to use kiwi kitchens for any future projects. Thanks team"

 

"A huge thank you to Janice, Debbie, Joe and the rest of the team at Kiwi Kitchens! The experience we had with them was absolutely fantastic and I would give them 6 stars if I could. Our new kitchen is beautiful and exactly what we wanted. Janice and Debbie are super friendly, helping us through the whole design process and making heaps of great suggestions for how to make our kitchen work best for us. They also did our scullery and laundry to the same excellent standard. The installation was quick and very well done, and Joe paid a lot of attention to detail to make sure the finish was just perfect. Nothing was ever a problem, we would absolutely recommend them to anyone!"

 

"Working with the amazing people at Kiwi Kitchens made the process of kitchen renovation incredibly easy. Their expertise and guidance was of a high calibre made even better by their approachable and inviting family atmosphere. They worked to the timeframes and communication was great. They really understood my needs and wants in a kitchen and I absolutely love the finished product."

 

"We are so stoked with the transformation that the Kiwi Kitchens team did of our kitchen. It has brought our kitchen/dining area into the 21st century! The team of Debbie, Janine and Joe were all so professional and wonderful to work with. We were first-time kitchen renovators and the advice and guidance they gave was just spot-on every time. We've ended up with a kitchen that looks great, but more importantly is very easy to work in. We would highly recommend Kiwi Kitchens to anyone looking for a seamless renovation process and a fantastic outcome."

 

"I have just had my kitchen renovations completed by Kiwi Kitchens and the whole process was fantastic. From the kitchen design, where Michelle listened to what I wanted and designed a practical, functional design to the subcontractors that Janice organised for me for the building and electrical work and plumbing. They were a professional, highly capable group and I am delighted with my kitchen. The whole process was stress free, well organised and everything happened on time, or with minimal disruption, to sort the unforeseen."

 

"My new laundry is lovely. And it is highly functional. And suits MY needs. Who else but Kiwi Kitchens would build a cupboard to suit MY brooms and mops. These people listen. They are honest about what can be done and what can't. They offer good advice on options for sinks, cupboards etc... I really felt they were working WITH me. They are adept at solving problems (e.g. my awkwardly placed dryer vent). The standard of workmanship is very high. The result is a personalized high quality 'made to measure' product. And the cost is very reasonable. They work in well with subcontracted electricians and plumbers, so that the work is completed efficiently. Excellent project management."

 

"We've just recently had our whole kitchen renovated by Joe,Janice and Deb of Kiwi Kitchens.To say I'm beyond pleased with the result is an understatement. Deb listened to what I wanted and delivered 100%. My kitchen is now light, bright,functional and so much more storage!! Janice was fantastic with organising tradies and communication with me. A snap lockdown meant work was halted but she kept me informed every step of the way. Joe went above and beyond to get kitchen installed as quickly and efficiently as possible with minimal disruption- even working on a Sunday! The craftmanship and his attention to detail is excellent. I cannot recommend Kiwi Kitchens highly enough. A job well done."

 

"We engaged Kiwi Kitchens to design and make a complete new kitchen for our 100 year old farmhouse. We are delighted with the result, modern, functional but with traditional styling. Janice and Joe and their designer Debbie were very professional, a pleasure to work with and they coped admirably with design changes and unforseen building delays. I have no hesitation in recommending Kiwi Kitchens to other home renovators. The workmanship and construction is 1st class, many thanks for everything."

 

"We highly recommend Kiwi Kitchens and are so glad we chose them to do our new kitchen and laundry. We love the design they created for us. Our kitchen is not simply functional, but it inspires us to use the kitchen more as we enjoy being in it so much. Kiwi Kitchen’s service from first contact through to completion was exemplary, and they were able to be flexible, accommodating, and problem-solving. You hear the word “trustworthy” mentioned, but I really believe that Kiwi Kitchen exemplifies this, as at all times we could rely on their advice to be in our best interests."

 

"Debbie, Janice and Joe did an amazing job on my kitchen renovation. I had a 40 year old dark galley kitchen and now I have a bright white rectangular area having demolished a couple of walls and removed a bathroom and toilet no longer required. Their builder Bruce did a fantastic job and project managed all the subbies so it was completed with as little disruption as possible. I love my new kitchen and so does everyone who comes to check it out!"

 

"Kiwi Kitchens have been fantastic to deal with throughout the whole process. Debbie listened carefully to what I wanted and came up with a plan that made it stand out from the rest. Once I had made my decision to go ahead, things ran like clockwork and the project was completed with as little disruption as possible. Joe and Janice are a great team. There was always clear communication and nothing was a problem. Joe's careful attention to detail during the installation stood out and I now have a kitchen I love. I would thoroughly recommend Kiwi Kitchens because of their attention to detail and wonderful customer service."

 

"I cannot speak highly enough of the entire kitchen project. I have no complaints or niggles with anything at all. Right from the first phone call, to the last invoice, Kiwi Kitchens (staff, communication, workmanship, support with decisions, support when I struggled with decisions (!), times given - and carried out as stated…EVERY aspect I found to be an excellent company to work with. The job they did for me was to help re-design ( and I totally felt heard) the kitchen; take out the kitchen, and completely change the footprint of, and install the new kitchen. A big project, with apparently (to my eyes) no difficulties whatsoever. I unreservedly recommend Kiwi Kitchens."

 

"I have used Kiwi Kitchens to renovate my laundry and kitchen. Working with Debbie on the design and then Janice and Joe for the installation has been an absolute pleasure. They listen, were mindful of my budget (and there were no hidden costs), met all the timelines and did a superb job. And when I changed my mind on something it was met with good humour and a "can do" attitude. I have no hesitation in recommending Kiwi Kitchens."

 

"We could not be happier with our new kitchen and the complete experience we had here. After being completely ignored at a kitchen place not far from Kiwi Kitchens, we saw this on the way home and decided to take a chance and stop in. We already had a rough design and measurements ready to go and just wanted to talk to someone for a few minutes. Janice could not have been nicer - she spoke to us for 10-15 minutes, took our plans to pass to her designer Michelle and set a up a meeting for us. Michelle polished everything up, gave us some new ideas and made everything look amazing and ensured it would all be really functional. Joe's attention to detail during installation is second to none and his workmanship is top quality. Our kitchen is everything we hoped for. The team at Kiwi Kitchens are truly lovely and genuine people - if we are ever fortunate enough to do this again we will definitely come back."

 

"Kiwi Kitchens have been fantastic to deal with from the first appointment right until installation. Janice’s organised and thorough manner meant that we were given the time to plan, and replan, as required. No request was too difficult, and always we received responses via email in a timely manner. Being first time renovators, we really appreciated Kiwi Kitchen’s practical approach not just thinking of the aesthetics of the kitchen but also considering how well the kitchen would function. In planning our kitchen, we were looking to maximise our money and the team were able to guide us in areas where we could save and those that it was worth putting our money into. Our kitchen is really the heart of our home, and everyone says it is their favourite room now. I would not hesitate to recommend Kiwi Kitchen to anyone looking to build a new kitchen whether it be a renovation or new home."

 

"Right from our initial consultation Kiwi Kitchens were fantastic. Even coming back with a different idea which was cheaper than our first thoughts. The sub contractors they put us on to were fantastic as well. Joe is the ultimate professional in installation and was supported by his just as professional wife, and everything was measured and fitted to the millimetre. We highly recommend Kiwi Kitchens to you. You will not be disappointed. We are over the moon with our new kitchen."

 

"We highly recommend Janice and Joe to anyone wanting to renovate their kitchen.  We had never done this before and Janice's advice was wonderful as she really understood what we wanted and needed.  We got several quotes from different companies and Kiwi was competitively priced but what sold them to us was the great help and advice and the way Janice gave us her time to help us make the right decisions.  The installation was great and both Joe and Janice went the extra mile to work around our painter and to add and change things that we only thought of as it was happening.  They are both helpful, friendly, genuine and reliable, as well as being very professional and competent.  The finished kitchen is fabulous and even better than we hoped for. Thank you so much Kiwi Kitchens!"

 

"We found Kiwi Kitchens via an internet search after visiting other showrooms where we had been ignored, had to deal with pushy sales people, or, unhelpful advice and promises such as "you can have anything you want".  Immediately the difference was obvious - although we didn't have an appointment, Janice spent an hour or so guiding us through various products and ideas, helping us to decide to ask Kiwi Kitchens to design our new kitchen. Designer Debbie took time to understand us and our requirements and was able to product the stunning design we had hoped for.  Throughout the design process, we always received timely and intelligent advice, and always felt that everyone at Kiwi Kitchens had time to spend with us and respond to our questions.  We were very impressed with the attention to detail, making sure we were aware of the implications of our choices, and making suggestions to change the design slightly to improve the overall look and feel of the kitchen. We also needed one person to coordinate all the tradies and we were very happy with the contractors recommended and how they all worked together at exactly the right time.  Joe installed the kitchen with the same care, professionalism and attention to detail that we had enjoyed from Debbie and Janice. In summary, we wanted top quality, and expected perfection, and that's exactly what Kiwi Kitchens delivered."

 

"I just want to thank you and your team so very much for my simply beautiful kitchen and laundry ... I love them!  Your plan and installation was everything I wished for, without any problems.  The whole procedure, since walking into your showroom, was an absolute pleasure.  Everybody I dealt with were so helpful and caring.  They listened to everything I asked for, and you delivered, plus more!I would also like to especially thank you Janice, Joe and Debbie ... you all helped to make this a very painless procedure!  All the best for your company's future - I will strongly recommend you."

 

"Very helpful and informative from the onset. We appreciated the cheerful and professional attitude of the salesperson (Debbie). Her ideas and knowledge of designing greatly assisted us in deciding to go with Kiwi Kitchens. The entire process from design to installation was of high quality and professionalism from all parties involved. We would definitely recommend Kiwi Kitchens to other prospective clients. Many thanks to Janice and Joe"

"I'd wanted a new kitchen since we bought our first home 10 years ago! We decided that seeing as we were getting EQC repairs done we'd go for it.I can't fault the service from start to finish.  The consultant/designer asked easy and practical questions which helped her understand not just what I needed but also what I wanted.  Choosing colours, finishes and work bench options I felt fully supported, informed and listened to.  The fitter was amazing at working around our EQC work (which was running late) and never made it seem like anything was a problem. During the entire process I felt like I was their only customer and their aim was my happiness.  The finished product is amazing. I am so happy in my kitchen and love showing it off to my friends. Our kitchen is the hub of our home.  It is a truly happy place. I couldn't recommend Kiwi Kitchens enough"      

 

"Kiwi Kitchens did a wonderful job helping us to design and build our new kitchen which was required after the devastating Christchurch earthquakes.  They were a great pleasure to work with, and went the extra mile to help us get a fairer settlement from our insurance company. They came back months later to fix something and then cheerfully cleaned all the outside top cupboards which another tradesman had marked with silicone!  They were friendly, approachable and helpful at all times.  I would strongly recommend their services to others."

 

"This was the first new kitchen I had ever had.  Kiwi Kitchens were so helpful from original concept to project completion. They LISTENED to my needs (and budget), talked me through options, and adjusted the original design to meet my requirements.  I was hugely appreciative of this flexibility.  The kitchen was built on time and to budget.  My friends think its great.  It suits the house.  It works extremely well and looks lovely.  The workmanship is excellent.  My kitchen is an absolute delight!"

 

"Joe and Janice have done an excellent renovation of our dated kitchen. From the very start we found them to be very knowledgeable and very approachable.  They met our expectations admirably.  Our new kitchen is very workable and a pleasure to work in."

 

"It was time to replace our old kitchen.  We shopped around Christchurch and settled on Kiwi Kitchens.  It proved to be a wise choice.  They are wonderful people to work with.  The resulting high quality kitchen is fantastic and exactly what we wanted.  They listened to our needs/wants and delivered in a most friendly and professional manner.  We wholeheartedly recommend Kiwi Kitchens to anyone wanting a new kitchen."

 

"Kiwi Kitchens built our replacement kitchen and also cupboards and shelving for the study area in the lounge.  In all aspects of both these projects, the Kiwi Kitchen people listened to what was important to us and then guided us as to what would look and work best.  We were very impressed with the attention to detail displayed when the kitchen and study units were installed.  Drawers and cupboard doors were meticulously adjusted so that all the vertical and horizontal edges lined up perfectly."

 

"We used Kiwi Kitchens to design, make and install our kitchen.  They did an amazing job and we would highly recommend them, in fact we have already done so to 2 seperate friends whom have gone on and subsequently used Kiwi Kitchens as well.  We are all pleased with the service, cost and timeframes that they provided - thank you!"

 

"Deb at Kiwi Kitchens helped us redesign our kitchen.  Great ideas with practical and creative approach ... very professional ... nothing seemed a bother!  Meticulous installation on time for a fantastic result.  Couldn't ask for more!"

 

"With no comparison in the service level between Kiwi Kitchens and other providers I visited, it was a no brainer to choose Kiwi.  Janice and Joe did an outstanding job in a dimensionally difficult space with a picky purchaser and the kitchen delivered is of excellent quality.  The space, previously very awkward, now works perfectly.  They made changes at the last minute without a quibble or questions, and worked around my nosy dog, for which I was very grateful. I recommend them frequently!"

 

"Kiwi Kitchens supplied and installed our kitchen, working from the blank canvas of an empty room.  They were recommended to us by another tradesperson.  We are very satisfied with the excellent service we received at every stage in the process.  We found everyone we dealt with to be friendly, knowledgeable, adaptable and professional from the initial design stage, through the modifications and right through to production and installation."

 

"I totally recommend Kiwi Kitchens.  Right from day one this family based team were a delight to work with and as a result we now have a kitchen that looks fabulous, is really functional, well-constructed, withon our budget and best of all, just what we wanted.  They were able to help us navigate through negotiations with our insurance company (our home was undergoing repair following the Christchurch earthquake) and were easily able to fit in with other trades working on our home during a rather challenging repair.  A great experience all round at a difficult time.  This will be my first port of call in the future, should we need to put in a new kitchen.  Many thanks to a great team."

 

"I am delighted with my new kitchen and the service provided by the Kiwi Kitchens team.  I upgraded my existing kitchen, approx 30 years old, and now have a much more functional and user friendly space to cook in.  The quality of finishes, both joinery and bench top, is first class.  From Michelle at the design stage, to Janice and Joe at the installation stage, everything went smoothly and their recommendations were all spot on.  I also used their trade team - builder, plumber, electrician and painter and found them all to be very professional, worked in well together and did a great job.  There's nothing I would change in my kitchen design and I have no hesitation in recommending Kiwi Kitchens to anyone looking for a quality kitchen supplied by a friendly helpful team."
