consultations Island-wide. “I will go to anyone’s home on the Island if they’re looking to renovate their kitchen. If they want new cabinets, we will go to their home, sit with them, try to find out what it is they want to change or what their vision is, whether they’re knocking down walls, or just replacing what’s there.” The professionals at Prestige Kitchens also use their years of expertise to work with a client’s budget and ensure the finished product is everything the client expects, Jackson explains.
Prestige Kitchens is a second-generation, family-owned and operated kitchen, bath and cabinetry design company. For 42 years, the company has designed, crafted and installed countless kitchens across the Island, from simple upgrades to breathe new life into a small family kitchen, to complete design and installation for state- of-the-art apartment buildings. There are few kitchen scenarios the professionals at Prestige Kitchens haven’t dealt with before. Prestige prides itself on offering ‘Made in PEI’ products and exemplary craftsmanship
For example, Jackson explains, a young couple who often entertain in their kitchen might want wine racks, a bar fridge, and a really big island where people can gather to socialize. Conversely, a mother of three who often bakes may want to incorporate a baking station in her kitchen so that the rest of the kitchen can still be used while she is baking. It’s all about working directly with the client, Jackson says.
And that is what sets Prestige Kitchens apart from other cabinet and kitchen
that is second to none. They operate from locations in both Summerside and Charlottetown. But, as Jackson underlines, there is one thing about each kitchen they work on that is unique: the client. “I, personally, know how important it is to find out what a client’s needs and wants are – what items are on their wish list, do they bake or entertain frequently, or how many cooks use the kitchen,” Jackson says, noting that, because the consultation process is so integral in ensuring the client is satisfied, Prestige Kitchens offers free, in-home
suppliers and installers – unlike big box stores with a huge team of employees where you are unlikely to deal with the same person each time you come in, when you choose Prestige Kitchens, you will work with your designer face-to-face, and know your work is being handled by a tight-knit team, many of whom are family, that are dedicated to your project’s successful completion. But it is not just kitchens these experts can take on. From complete bathroom design and installation, to shelving, cabinetry and workstations in laundry rooms, and entertainment units and bookshelves
"Everybody is different and everybody usually has one or two things that they want in their kitchen… we’ve become experts over the years at working within people’s budgets as best we can. That’s a big thing,” she says. “If a client has a wish list, we find the one or two really important things that they want incorporated into their kitchen and make that happen within the budget or the allowance that they have. We’ve really tried to pride ourselves on being able to do that for them.”
