What is it like being an owner of a custom cabinetry business in Fairfield County?

It has been a great privilege to open a business in this community and work with talented architects, builders, and interior designers. We’ve been here for 3 years and I have been able to work with many projects all over Fairfield and Westchester County. We have a lot of clients looking for high-quality products who have sophisticated taste. 

What projects are you currently working on?

I have been working on various projects, most of which are houses (either new construction or renovations). Each project is customized to the client’s lifestyle and may include a combination of kitchen, closets, and/or wall systems. 

Any advice for someone remodeling their kitchen, bathroom or small space in the home?

Remodeling a kitchen requires a lot of research and communication with specialized companies. This is an important step because the available products and accessories vary from one provider to another and are constantly changing or being updated. As a result, the client would be better positioned to evaluate the different proposals based on the quality of the project, cost estimate, and the strength/involvement of each vendor. Another suggestion is that the client should check the various available main appliance options, as this would be important feedback for the vendors. 

What do you love about living in Stamford? What are some of your favorite places to visit/shop in the City?

Stamford is a lively city! It has a good infrastructure that allows residents and workers to access a variety of options, including good restaurants, parks, summer events, etc. For those who work in the city, living in Stamford is convenient. I enjoy dining at Çka Ka Qëllu, Kouzina, and The Wheel.
