McDaniels made my dreams come true! The contractors were very friendly and always on time. Everything was spelled out in the contract with no surprises and they finished on time, and even cleaned up. This is the second kitchen McDaniels has built for us. Don't hesitate to choose McDaniels. You won't be disappointed.McDaniels is #1 in our book!!!

Vanessa Sepeter was excellent pulling together our vision for our master bath. The entire process from start to completion was very good. The Granite contractors were considerate, professional, friendly and cleaned the work area every day. Stephen Uhl listened, and was responsive to our questions and was also very professional. We are 100% thrilled with our new master bath. Bob and Christie Fell

Awesome experience with Nicole at McDaniels! Not only did she design our entire 1st floor, she went above and beyond by helping us with the details like paint colors, furnishings, artwork, light fixtures and decorative extras to make everything come together beautifully.

Recently had two bathrooms remodeled…we love the finished results in both! McDaniels and Granite Construction were both professional and right on schedule. Hope to use them again.

We have been using McDaniels for our primary residence cabinetry needs since 1989, and we still love them. When it came to remodeling our cottage at Higgins Lake we were happy to hear McDaniels would service and deliver to us in northern Michigan. Even more delighted we were able to get all of our remodel project materials in one place: cabinetry, countertops, faucet, hardware, as well as our vinyl plank flooring. We were able to use our own contractor from up north and our own favorite supplier back home. Julie J. was patient, provided guidance, and really listened to what we wanted. Our requests were not for the popular selections most people favor, but more of a cottage/cabin feel. We are delighted with the transformation! Even our contractor complimented us on the quality of the Diamond cabinets we selected. Thanks McDaniels!

We used McDaniels Kitchen and Bath for our kitchen remodel. Wow! They knocked it out of the park! Our designer, Dave, came up with a plan that fit our needs and allowed us to use our space in a way we would not have imagined. He was very creative and listened to what we wanted. We visited the showroom and had a difficult choosing our cabinets from the vast collection. So many choices! With their help, we made the right choice and our new kitchen looks fabulous! Everyone was great to work with from the designer and office staff to the warehouse and delivery person. I would highly recommend this business to my friends and family.

Julie Johnson was our designer for our total kitchen remodel. It is exactly what we wanted. Everyone was very responsive of our wishes and needs. The whole job stayed completely on schedule and we did not have one day of delay. Granite Construction did the installation and they were also as fantastic as McDaniels and Julie. I added some before and after photos but they don't do justice to the amount of work that was done and the joy I feel working in my new kitchen. Don't hesitate, use McDaniels!!
