Building on my background in design, commercial art and advertising, I opened my own design studio in 1999 hoping to Simplify the Process for clients at a time when the details are the most crucial. I have worked with custom cabinet makers, tract home builders and high end cabinetry companies.
Through the many elements of designing in these areas, where I gained valuable experience, I also longed for a more personal connection with the homeowner and end user.I recognized there was a niche market that fell in the middle of tract home and ultra deluxe design. In making the choices of the cabinetry lines we wanted to offer, I kept in mind how important good solid construction is to the design.

Southwest Kitchen and Bath refaced/remolded our kitchen this past fall. Matt Yaney our designer was wonderful. When we first met with him in September we asked if our kitchen could be done by Thanksgiving or Christmas and he said most likely by Christmas and it was. He took my ideas and helped to design a great looking kitchen. It was done in stages, we had half of the kitchen refaced and the other half remodeled. Donald their installer also did a great job refacing and installing the new cabinets. We ran into some major snags with the subs they used and Matt was great listening to us and doing

Okay, so I feel the need to weigh in on this discussion with Jim C. and the owner of SWKB, Mel.
First of all, the kitchen is beautiful. Thus, our satisfaction was NOT impossible to attain. The issue here is you, the owner. It is not unreasonable to expect an expensive project ($36K) to be done correctly and any issues fixed. While our contractors are originally from Mexico, they are very experienced, licensed, and the appliance instructions are also provided in Spanish; your design specifications are in numbers, a universal language. There is no language barrier here, your designers were

We contracted SWKB for a high end kitchen cabinet replacement as part of a home remodel. We were referred to them as the vendor for a particular high end cabinet maker. They also coordinated the appliances and the install. We were very disappointed despite spending north of 45K for the experience. The design was incomplete and many of the cabinets were built wrong for the appliances. We of course only find this out AFTER they are installed and the installer had to hack them apart in place to make them fit. Many things were forgotten (panels) and the instructions to the construction crew on

There will not be enough space here to fully describe our great experience with Southwest Kitchen & Bath. One of the best companies we have dealt with for doing home remodeling or upgrading in our 16 years here in Tucson. Maria and Stacey were the two prime contacts for our complete kitchen redesign and upgrade, but all the staff at SW Kitchen & Bath were friendly and helpful whenever we came by with questions or help. They have a very well organized and professional staff that knows how to guide and schedule a project from beginning to end. Our kitchen remodel went very smoothly and

For customers looking for a seamless kitchen remodel, you must arrange your remodel or new kitchen/bath with SW Kitchen and Bath! Melissa is the owner and is responsive, credible, personable and willing to make things immediately happen for customers. The design center has ample kitchen designs to see and an impressive selection of tiles, granite and other countertop selections, custom cabinet ideas and anything else one might need to make an informed decision! In addition, this business works very closely with contractors, plumbers, lighting experts and the like which provides for little

We recently had our kitchen cabinets refaced by Southwest Kitchen and Bath as the last phase of our total home remodel. We met with designer Maria Jean who made the process of choosing the right design and finishes so easy; she is patient and knowledgeable and a dream to work with! Stacey Kavalec also spent considerable time with me in choosing just the right hardware to complement our new cabinets. We are so happy with our beautiful new cabinets that I have already recommended Southwest Kitchen and Bath to a neighbor and will continue to recommend them. Without a doubt, Southwest Kitchen and Bath

Everyone on our neighborhood list serve raves about them, so I called to get a quote. Turns out their specialty is cabinets, and that is the one thing I am not changing.
But they immediately referred me to 3 sources who do exactly what I need. (Not just give me the names, but the phone numbers and who to talk to. Wonderful local business.
