Rick Taylor of Annapolis Heirlooms is a first-rate craftsman. He helped us design, plan and re-model our kitchen. His workmanship is excellent. He pays particular attention to detail. He was always courteous and professional in all our dealings. Rick does all the work himself designs and builds the kitchen cabinetry, Islands, and installs all the appliances. He is supported by a professional plumber, electrician and flooring craftsmen as well. He was timely and delivered as promised. I would highly recommend using his services.He is a true professional.

We really enjoyed working with Rick Taylor. He came recommended from a friend (who had been listening to our frustrations at our year long struggle to "settle" on someone to renovate our kitchen). We just weren't feeling like we were getting any unique or innovative ideas... and then we met Rick. He had obvious pride in his workmanship and his product and was willing to listen and offer solutions where others just wanted to get the job done. We were able to get a much superior product- little details like finished side panels included for instance, for a price that was pretty on par with kitchen design and builds and even Kraftmaid through HD (where we would not have been getting these fine details attended to). He also solved a few design features I wanted like building a custom range hood and a built in side cabinet for keys and notes. Of note, Rick was the person who did the design, built the cabinets, then installed on site. Aside from his trusted electrician and plumber (who were great), we knew who we were dealing with through the whole process. So we weren't presented with a new crew, but were comfortable with him being the one coming into and out of our home. Rick always responded to our calls quickly and did I mention that he also did the job in half the time the other guys wanted to take? We definitely recommend Rick Taylor at Annapolis Heirlooms and love our new kitchen!

1st off, this is a very overdue review. We can’t believe how amazing our new kitchen turned out and even though our kitchen was completed a year ago we still get excited and can’t believe this is ours. Our kitchen was small and awkward spaced with very little counter space and soffits obstructing some of our upper wall cabinets. We knew we needed to come up with a plan to not only update the space but also wanted to make better use of the space we had. We had many kitchen designers come in to see if they could offer any solutions and all seemed stumped by our kitchen. In fact, one designer never even came back with a proposal. Then we met Rick who had designed a friend’s kitchen. He came in, looked around, listened to our concerns and within 3 days came back with a design for a very functional kitchen with ideas we had not even considered. Rick’s custom cabinet designs really allowed us to maximize storage area while opening up areas we assumed could not be modified. Every cabinet was custom measured and built for our space. The entire project took 18 days to complete. This included demolition, electrical & plumbing, cabinets, granite counters, hardware and new appliance installation. From the day work began, Rick worked nonstop until completion (including weekends). He stayed on the schedule he committed to. Being that we did not have a functional kitchen at all, this was very much appreciated. It is our understanding that all of his jobs work this way. One year later, we can still tell you that Rick’s craftsmanship is second to none. Our kitchen continues to look like something from HGTV or a magazine. Rick loves what he does and it absolutely shows in his work. Both his attention to detail and experience on what works best are clearly evident in his final product.

Rick did a first class job in installing our kitchen. His products have worn well and he willingly comes for minor repairs or adjustments. Rick can be trusted to work independently in your home and treat your property like his own. Ideas offered are creative and from a resource of experience and knowledge. He met our completion deadline and focused on our project alone to the finish!!!!.

Rick just finished my custom kitchen remodel and I couldn’t be happier with the final product. He turned my “dream kitchen” into reality! Rick spent a lot of time working with me on design and pricing options before he began. I wanted to remove the soffit and one wall, but wasn’t sure this would be possible because of the plumbing. Rick was confident that he could solve the problem and he did - it worked out perfectly! He listened to all my ideas and came up with great suggestions for how to work them into the design. Rick does most of the work himself including building custom cabinets. I am so impressed with the craftsmanship and quality of the cabinets; Rick’s workmanship and attention to detail are exceptional. Additionally, he uses top-notch sub-contractors for work such as plumbing, electric, floors, tile, and painting. The job was finished in a timely fashion - much faster than other kitchen models that I’ve heard about from friends and relatives. And, to top it all off, Rick is a really nice guy who’s great to work with. I absolutely recommend Annapolis Heirlooms for your kitchen remodel.

We chose Annapolis Heirlooms because we wanted to optimize our kitchen renovation to make best use out of every inch of space. Rick knew exactly how to help us achieve our 30-year vision-in-the-making. Efficient, short project time was also a must, and Rick meant business when he set a timeline to demo down to studs and remake our space. Absolutely exceeded all expectations. He even worked with us to help with a second area of the home in record time. We were delighted to work with so many amazing professionals during the job. From the flooring team and tiler to the electrician and plumber--all master craftsmen. Incredible people who achieve incredible results. If you can get on the schedule, do it now. The change they made in our home has transformed our lifestyle. We cannot say enough about how much we trust this team. Truly exceptional!

We hired annapolis heirlooms for a complete kitchen rennovation in a larger home. We luckily were introducted to rick (annapolis heirlooms owner) by our floor man & so thankful! After frustrations with johnson lumber and lack of cooperation, we not only have an outstanding finished project, our cost savings was significant. I know, hard to believe. Rick custom manufactures the kitchen cabinets utilizing every inch of allowable space for maximum storage. Combine that with the highest of quality in both materials & workmanship (I'd rather use the term artmanship!). The project from start to finish was just about flawless. We were given a schedule prior to start that was spot on...No deviation. Our kitchen and den were gutted, floors ripped out & replaced as well. Turnover was just 24 days. (I know, right!) floor to ceiling cabinets installed in 2 finishes (10 foot ceilings), a 10 foot custom island, a drop ceiling installed over the island, (I described what I wanted & he was spot on with end result first try along w/ a custom glass cabineted half wall) new appliances repositioned & installed, kitchen blueprint entirely changed, beautiful quartzite counters installed etc. If you want a new kitchen or even a partial one, go ahead & spend the energy looking elsewhere, a second estimate....But you will come back to rick. Just the confidence in his abilities alone will have you saying you're glad you chose annapolis heirlooms. And...The super pleasant personalities of rick and all the subcontractors was an added bonus.

We decided to use Rick Taylor of Annapolis Heirlooms to renovate our kitchen. We met with him twice to go over our plans before signing a contract. It was clear to us that (1) he was extremely knowledgeable about the business; (2) he showed us the quality products he would use; (3) he suggested some things that we ourselves did not think about and that we adopted, and he asked us what we wanted to supply ourselves and indicated which additional items we would have to provide; (4) by providing a timeline (3-4 weeks) in which to complete the work we knew what to expect; and (5) explained the terms of the contract in a very understandable manner; the estimated price was very reasonable. Rick drew up detailed plans of the renovation so we could see the details of the work. The renovation was completed several days earlier than promised! What really made this a top quality job was that he relied on a network of expert support as needed (electrician, drywall, plumber, and counter-top expert). The effort of this “team” resulted in a kitchen renovation that we are totally pleased with. As is usually the case, unexpected things typically arise in such a project, and Rick took it upon himself to remedy these: making a trip to find a new valve for the refrigerator, making calls to find a repair man for the dishwasher, to name a couple.
Bottom line: We are totally pleased with the product, the time it took to do the work, and the final price. |
We could not be happier with the job Annapolis Heirlooms did on our kitchen renovation. Rick took the time to work with us on the design and layout of the kitchen. He incorporated into the design what was important to us (the other two contractors we checked out did not). He explained THOROUGHLY the pricing and the renovation process. He started on the day that he said he would and he finished on the day that he said he would. He was on time and on budget.
The quality of the material and the workmanship of the install were outstanding. Our neighbor had just renovated his kitchen and the materials that Annapolis Heirlooms used were far superior. Because the insides of the cabinets are custom made we were able to eliminate the bulkhead (which none of the other contractors said they could do) and have the cabinets go all the way to the ceiling. What a difference that makes in the appearance of the finished product. Whenever friends and neighbors come over they always have positive comments about the kitchen renovation. We could not have be happier working with Annapolis Heirlooms. |
