I\u2019m a 20 year veteran of remodeling and an addition to my house and am an electrician by trade. Planning and installing a new kitchen is a daunting task and there are a myriad of options concerning colors, materials, cabinetry, not to mention a kitchen designer and installer. My wife and I had checked out 3 different designers and then went to Morris Black, more or less on a whim. From start to finish the entire process was excellent. From introduction to presentation, choice of materials, stains and colors, options and prices, this company blew the competition out of the water. Professional, courteous, flexible, patient, just a few of the superlatives I can use describing the experience. If I had to do another kitchen there\u2019s no debate who I\u2019d work with. Highly recommended for overall satisfaction.<\/p>\n

Lydia is outstanding. We felt we were partners in design with Lydia providing expert opinions, suggestions and plan development. Very patient, friendly and accommodating. Chris (installer) was also excellent \u2013 a perfectionist with a great personality. Lots of time went above and beyond to be sure the kitchen looked the best; great attention to detail. Kitchen is beautiful \u2013 thank you Morris Black.<\/p>\n

Had the absolute pleasure of having our kitchen renovation organized by Morris Black manager Mark Doman. Even with a full-blown pandemic in full swing during our major project, everything went off without a hitch. I am so impressed with the quality of our new cabinets and extremely appreciative of all the sound advice Mark offered to us during these challenging times. Can\u2019t wait to work with him again in the near future when we undertake our master bathroom renovation.<\/p>\n

We cannot praise the Morris Black team highly enough! Dan’s design was perfect for our needs. Carl addressed every issue right down to the minutest detail – he coordinated everything expertly, and all with the most pleasant disposition. The success of this project is attributable in large part to the expertise and unfailing professionalism of these two gentlemen. Keith also did an incredible job and was a pleasure to have around. When we do our next project with Morris Black, we will be requesting Keith specifically.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the MB team for making a big project a positive experience with a great outcome. Dan and Carl were very customer friendly and also reliable and dedicated. I commend the culture that I experienced from start to finish. Mark Maskornick is a tremendous asset for MB and we couldn’t have hoped for a better installer… he is the best!!<\/p>\n

When we saw your design in a magazine, we were immediately impressed; but we were even more impressed after working with you. Your knowledge, creativity, attention to detail and your focus on quality and our total satisfaction were instrumental in creating our \u201cWOW\u201d kitchen.<\/p>\n

\u2026It was amazing how smoothly and on-time the installation went. Everyone kept us well informed with timely communication and responsiveness. .. We eagerly recommend Morris Black to anyone building or remodeling the kitchen of their dreams.<\/p>\n
