I was extremely satisfied with the quality of work provided by Genesis. We hired Genesis to redesign our kitchen – it was a full kitchen renovation from the ground up. They were very professional, a pleasure to work with and had great creative vision for our space. We were 100% satisfied with the results and have already recommended their services to friends.

I had the pleasure of working with Denise McIntosh (owner of Genesis Kitchens and Design) and colleagues in April of this year when we renovated our 20 year old kitchen. Denise was very professional and took all the time necessary to explain the process to us – enough so that we felt confident that she would oversee everything while we traveled to Australia and Bali. From recommendations made by Denise, we hired a contractor to coordinate and complete the electrical, plumbing, carpentry and floor installation parts of the job. Denise worked closely with our contractor while we were away to ensure that everything was done according to plans and on budget. Although we had been advised that everything may not be completed by the time we returned home, we were pleasantly surprised to find that our kitchen was ready to use upon our return. Like any other renovation, we encountered glitches along the way, but Denise responded quickly and decisively to ensure that we were not inconvenienced and that our kitchen renovation was of the highest standards. We love our new kitchen and Denise and colleagues made what could have been an ordeal, a relatively pleasant experience.

I cannot give enough positive praise for Genesis Designs and Jessica! Jessica was always available and had no problem answering the million questions I always had. She took in my ideas and brought them to life in ways I couldn’t think of on my own. Everyone at Genesis was so welcoming. We absolutely love our new kitchen!!! Everything is beautiful and the quality is amazing. Thank you Genesis – Jessica and Denise!!!

Denise McIntosh, Owner of Genesis Kitchens, and her team of designers did an excellent job of designing our main kitchen and bathroom as well as a beautiful basement suite. Denise was genuinely interested in listening to our needs and helping us decide on the plan layout, choice of materials and colours, and she helped at every step with great ideas and solutions. Denise was very calm and patient with us and we never felt rushed to make a decision. Her insights and advice gave us confidence in our decisions. This was the first major renovation project for us and we couldn’t have been happier with the results.

Thank you Denise and everyone at Genesis Kitchens & Design!

The staff at Genesis was just fabulous. I had called a number of companies for quotes and other than Genesis they were slow to respond or did not respond at all. Denise came by my home, gave me pointers, listened to my needs and drew up a draft plan and quote within a reasonable time. After we signed them on, her team, including Jessica was very good at keeping me updated on the progress of the project, answered all my questions, sourced out finishing options for me and addressed all my concerns in a timely and professional manner. I was very very pleased with Genesis and highly recommend them.

Denise and the team were excellent and provided a great service. She has a flair for style and design and steers you in a direction that works best for the project you are working on. She considers both parties as some decisions are tricky with two people weighing in.

I would highly recommend Genesis and Susan Joyce for any size project. I had a 40 year old apartment size kitchen that was in need of renovations. Susan presented several different plans and i was very happy with my final choice. Susan’s professionalism was present from start to finish.

We had a fabulous experience working with Genesis Kitchens & Design. Prior to starting our kitchen reno, we did a lot of research to find someone who could help us with the design as well as source a quality cabinet product. Julie Dinnissen helped us with the design: she is knowledgeable and experienced, and a clear communicator. The design she created for us made the best use of our space and we loved her first choice in cabinet, backsplash and countertop. Reg Harder was our contractor – recommended by Genesis – and he was friendly, skilled and efficient. He was also great about keeping our space as clean/dust free as possible during the renovation. We had few surprises, a couple of small glitches, but all was handled professionally by Julie and Reg. Mostly we appreciated the way they worked together and coordinated all the elements of the renovation, so we had little to think about / worry about. We love our new kitchen and are so happy with the increased space and functionality.

We hired Genesis to help us with a complete kitchen renovation in our ‘90’s condo. They really listened and respected my ideas but then took the project to the next level. We are very happy with how it turned out! It’s functional and beautiful and has become a room that we actually want to hang out it. I would definitely recommend Genesis to anyone who like me wants to be involved but have the designer insight and resources. There’s no way I could have achieved the end result without them!

Working with Joy to design our new kitchen was fantastic. She developed a design taking both input from my wife and I and drawing from her own experience. She was professional and very courteous, taking the time to explain the process and timelines along the way. Joy made all the difference by offering suggestions, while considering the ideas we provided. Our kitchen was completed on time and on budget. We have received many compliments on our new kitchen from friends and family and of course we enjoy it very much ourselves. I highly recommend Genesis and Joy for anyone considering a new or major kitchen renovation.

We are very happy with the design and the personalized service we received from Genesis Kitchens. Not only are we thrilled with the way our kitchen looks, we love how well it functions – our kitchen looks stunning, flows beautifully and is a pleasure to cook in. Denise and her team listened to our ideas and guided our design decisions, providing lots of choice and suggestions, all the while working within our budget. Her knowledgeable team was very professional and provided personalized service. We would highly recommend Genesis Kitchens.

I an so happy with genesis kitchens. We used them for our kitchen makeover. I can’t go on enough about them, they were courteous and professional through every step. We were not disappointed all our questions were answered and we felt at ease. The end project is amazing, our counters and cupboards turned out just as we imagined. Thank you Genesis!

We can’t say enough about Genesis Kitchens & Design. Our kitchen was stuck in the 90’s. Our designer Jessica, listened to all of our suggestions and ideas and she designed our dream kitchen. Her knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail were excellent! Barstra Construction and Home Renovation Ltd. was our contractor, who came highly recommended from Genesis. Their quality of work was top notch! Thank you both for giving us the exactly what we wanted in a kitchen and in a timely manner. We couldn’t be happier!

Julie Dinnissen was the Genesis designer who helped us choose our kitchen countertops and backsplash. She was knowledgeable, cheerful and a pleasure to work with. Julie provided us with accurate quotes, time schedules and came by to make sure the job was a success. All aspects of the job were completed as promised, promptly and with very little disruption to our household. I appreciate Julie’s guidance in choosing a great countertop / backsplash combination for our home.

The staff at Genesis Kitchens & Designs were extremely polite, caring and supportive with the renovations of my kitchen and master bathroom. Susan was very patient and kindly with me as I tried to comprehend what seemed to be an overwhelming task. In her absence Nicole came forth with her creativity, suggestions and foresight with the floor and wall tiling. Susan worked harmoniously with my contractor, whom I also hired through Genesis. I would strongly recommend Genesis for anybody looking for a company that is knowledgeable, professional and knows how to treat their clients with respect.

We were very fortunate to have found Genesis Kitchens, Denise and her staffs are amazing! We were in the middle of extensive renovations and needed cabinets for our whole house. Unfortunately the cabinet place which we first chose did not follow through with the contract and left us with nothing, which postponed the whole project. We found Genesis Kitchens and Denise was so understanding and assured us that they would help us get our house completed. Genesis Kitchens was able to give us exactly what we were looking for and Denise is truly an expert in design. Denise was there every step of the way from coming out to measure, working with our contractor and helping us right down to the finishing touches. We are so pleased with the cabinets in our home and Genesis Kitchens helped us achieve our dream. It was a pleasure dealing with such a caring and trustworthy company and we are so thankful for everything that Denise and her staff did for us. We will never forget how Genesis Kitchens helped us when we were in a bind and we would recommend them to anyone.

I had the recent pleasure to work with Julie Dinnissen at Genesis Kitchens & Designs. Genesis was referred to us by a friend, who had recently completed a kitchen reno. I had a lofty goal of wanting an island in my design-challenged space – visualize a three-room area (dining, kitchen, eating area) that formed a 90-degree shape. This is not exactly conducive to having an island and we did not wish to extend the kitchen footprint into the backyard. We were planning to remove a structural wall between the dining room and kitchen and thus, Julie designed an area around the remaining wall that works as a HUGE island. It’s massive. Tons of counter and cabinet space, designed to utilize every inch of the island.

During our planning stage, when our cabinets and countertops were ready to be ordered, our contractor backed out of our project. While Genesis gave us a list of their recommended contractors, we had initially chosen a local contractor that was recommended by a friend. I let Julie know of our predicament and she immediately called two of their preferred contractors, one of which could handle our project in the upcoming months. Frankly, I should have gone with a Genesis-approved contractor from the start and would highly advise this.

The one constant during our renovation – from conception to completion, was Julie and her team at Genesis. The smartest thing I did was to engage Genesis’ services. Take a look at Genesis’ fee structure – your deposit goes towards your cabinet purchase and you receive ten hours of a designer’s time. Julie helped me pick paint colours, flooring, backsplash, grout – you name it. No additional fees were charged to us and we have our dream kitchen.

Our contractor, Ian Heyes from IH Contracting, was absolutely fantastic. Julie ensured that construction and installation was coordinated with Ian which created a very smooth renovation. Our 1980’s era house has challenges and Ian and his right-hand, Greg, worked around that – troubleshooting and ensuring the reno was well-built and looked good. It was like having my dad and brother help us out – I fully trusted them and their opinion. They are both lovely people to work with, have a great sense of humour, and are trustworthy and honest.

Back to Genesis and Julie! Not only was the design fantastic and way beyond my expectations, Julie’s attention to every little detail made all the difference. From choosing different lengths for the door/drawer pulls based on the overall size of the door to eliminating door pulls under the seating area and using push-latches (my knees thank you), to scrutinizing grout colours – she wanted to create my dream kitchen right down to the smallest details.

Additionally, the cabinet installers that Genesis use also deserve high praise. With constant updates and contact with Julie on the progress, our kitchen looks amazing. Every little detail was thought out and where our uneven floors, walls and other fun challenges threw a curve, our installer Luke worked around it to make it perfect. No corners were cut to get the job finished quickly but rather, he suggested a few tweaks that we could do to make it look better. These weren’t up-charges, just perfectionism by both the installer and Genesis.

I can’t recommend Genesis enough. Julie and her team, who stepped in to drop things off at the house and grab flooring samples, are talented designers. The contractor that backed out did us a favour as we were fortunate to work with the Genesis-approved contractors who all helped to create our beautiful new kitchen. The fact that Genesis partners with such amazing contractors lends to their professionalism and should give you confidence that if you use them for your renovation, they will ensure you are well taken care of through the entire process.

We are now enjoying our new kitchen and can’t thank Julie, Ian, Greg, and Luke enough.

Over the past few years we have had plans to renovate our 3 existing bathrooms in our 27-year old home to make them bright, stylish and spa-like. Earlier this year we contacted Denise at Genesis Kitchens and Design. We described our vision of the completed renovations and she and her team helped us clearly define the scope of the project and assisted with the installation of cabinetry work and countertops. We now have this project completed and are thrilled with the results! The Genesis Kitchens and Design team brings years of experience to the table and we look forward to working with them on future projects. In fact, our kitchen renovation project is now in its early stages and Genesis Kitchens and Design has been involved in this project as well since the onset. Finding the right partner is key on these home renovation projects and Denise’s team at Genesis Kitchens and Design has proven to be a great match.

Worked with Denise from Genesis after a recommendation from a friend. My husband just retired after a long career as a marine master. I wanted our kitchen renovation to reflect our mutual love of local west coast waters (we’re in Vancouver, BC) and Genesis more than delivered! I new exactly how I wanted the kitchen to make me FEEL but had a hard time defining what that would exactly look like. Enter Denise – who’s greatest skill may be interpreting my vague criteria into exactly what I wanted but couldn’t actually describe. I originally described my vision as “West Coast nautical” and yet somehow Denise knew exactly what I meant. First thing was a change of kitchen layout that I hadn’t even considered but now cant imagine otherwise. All the other suggestions from Denise and her team on finishes and details were brilliant. In the end we truly couldn’t be happier with the functionality and the look – and there is no way we could have got the perfect result without Denise and the Genesis Kitchens team!

Denise and the crew at Genesis are amazing they guided us through the kitchen remodel process from design to completion. Flooring, cabinets, counters they designed an amazing Island. Our realtor is so impressed he has been back twice with other realtors just to show them our kitchen and powder room. Thanks Denise we love our new kitchen.

Thank you so very much for the help and expertise you provided during our kitchen renovation. Your enthusiasm made this huge project exciting, and the result is stunning. The wonderful craftsmanship of Nickels cabinets, the care and respect shown to my home by the installers and yourselves– Genesis Kitchens, as well as the superb work of reg Harder—you’ve created a beautiful space in my home and it has enhanced the feel and versatility of the entire house. I love my kitchen.
