Newington CT Express Kitchens

Watch out if you order a granite countertop from them. They send you to Hartford to look at a slab in a dark warehouse with dust all over the stone. They have nothing available to clean it off for you to inspect it. There is no way you can properly inspect it before you give them the OK. I got my sink vanity made. I picked it up. It was still dirty and dusty. . I get home and clean it. There’s a big huge imperfection on it. I realize it is natural stone. But, I have never ordered granite that had a big huge splotching of off color on it. Now, I am stuck with it. customer service is terrible. The people in Hartford are lax and know kind of unfriendly. In addition to that. I spent big money on a large cabinet. It was delivered to my house. It was damaged when I took it out of the box. I’ve been waiting two weeks for them to do something about it. I have a cabinet sitting in my living room. I need to get my bathroom done. No one seems to care. I still haven’t gotten any answers on it. I do not blame Newington for this. I blame Hartford. The sales team in Newington is wonderful. It is their customer service and the granite area and Hartford that is terrible. I cannot believe a place that sells granite stone has nothing to clean it with properly to inspect it. Also the customer service stinks.

After a kitchen fire our contractor hired them to supply and install cabinets and counters. We were so happy we went back for our new house to get cabinets and counters.

Note that to sit down with a designer and get a quote, you need to set an appointment. I recommend calling ahead and arrive early to have some time to breeze the showroom before your appointment. Annette, who designed our kitchen, was awesome. I knew I wanted a white cabinet, and their base model white (Quebec) cabinets were a great fit for my condo. I already had my dimensions, and she was able to draw out my kitchen perfectly. Her program also gave us a visual representation of what it would look like. I was impressed with how quickly she worked. She also gave great recommendations, like adding a small "arch" piece below the sink wall cabinet to give it that extra fine touch. My condo has a small 12" wide cabinet between the wall and my dishwasher. She suggested instead of having 1 cabinet, use it for 3 separate drawers. What a fantastic idea! Great place for silverware, cooking utensils, etc. She also was able to tell me what exact dimensions I had to work with for my OTR Microwave, my fridge, stove, and dishwasher. Thankfully I haven't bought them yet! They sent out a guy to measure my kitchen to double check everything. He was on time and prompt. No drama there. I hope the installation goes just as smoothly. To do my whole kitchen condo (galley style, 2 8' walls opposing each other) - about 12 pieces including granite countertops (25 sq. ft.), under mount sink and faucet, and cabinet hardware, was $5,500 installed. Just in case anyone wanted an idea of cost. I qualified for the 12 month financing but ended up just financing half of it. I definitely recommend express kitchens for your 1 stop shop solution. I will update my review after installation, which hopefully goes without a hitch. Fingers crossed!
