Please recommend your kitchen contractor
I'd prefer to use someone that doesn't sub-contract. Thanks!

Re: Please recommend your kitchen contractor
my parents used a vendor on here, dynamic kitchens, and their kitchen is absolutely gorgeous -- i really should have posted pictures, they had it done in january. but yeah he was great, does not sub out the work, does everything himself in his little factory in copaigue. he gave us a great rec for the tile and granite too. all in all, the kitchen looks like it cost 50 grand and it was a fraction of that -- i know people that spent double what my mom and dad spent and didn't get anywhere near the quality - it's amazing how much people can get overcharged when dealing with middlemen and things like that.

Re: Please recommend your kitchen contractor
My dad owns Dynamic Kitchens, who is a vendor on here- He isn't a contractor, he's basically just a cabinet maker- but he installs his cabinets...
If you need major work done, I would suggest Rick Crain- he did the major work on my mom's kitchen, and my dad did the cabinets... if your interested, FM me and I will give you his phone number.

Do you think he could make a cabinet for me like my existing cabinets? They are a pretty basic design and I would really like the same style built in a corner of my kitchen. I did email the guy who did my countertops but he hasn't even replied and that was months ago. Thanks!

absolutely- it's custom- so he can match in the style as close as humanly possible.. also with color- keep in mind wood is a natural product and ages- so the color would be as close as possible..
but this is something he does all the time.

They are painted white, so even easier to match I will give him a call.
Sorry to hijack the OPs post.

Apparently they are not a vendor here so you can't recommend them if you are related to them. They concider it solicitating here if you are "vested" with person recommended.
Makes no sense... since you did not have to say you were related to them.
That also makes no sense if people ask for recommendation. Because that means you can NEVER ask for recommendations about ANYONE. Unless that "category" is not filled by a vendor.
It's one of those

Re: Please recommend your kitchen contractor
Thats ridiculous. Ive reccommended them plenty of times.. and yes people reccommend people all the time here for anything.. and im not allowed? How is that fair? Op asked for reccommendation. I gave her one. If advertisers were only allowed to get reccomendations she wouldnt hav to post asking... they did great job on my house so i offered my opinion.... lifamilies is starting to get ridiculous and now i know why so many are deleting themselves. Noones allowed yo offer help yet theres so many drama causers still here...

I am ASSUMING this is what happened. Somebody either reported you (a vendor) or LIF did.
I can't imagine what else it could be.

Re: Please recommend your kitchen contractor
so I got reported but all of this thousands of people on here that have recommended daycares ,schools, hair salons, cleaning people ,contractors, nannies ,cake people, cookie people, landscapers , catering halls, restaurants, etc.... are allowed? Sounds a little singled out to me. and as far as him being related to me I don't see the difference ... he built a new house for me and came out great so i reccommended him....
