Bob and Sandra Greenleaf say that choosing a designer for their kitchen renovation was easy.;”

“We are locals at Balhannah, so we knew John Herbut would be a good choice,” says Bob. The Balhannah couple are delighted with the outcome. “Our kitchen is fantastic,” Sandra says. “Just look at the photos!”

The end result is certainly beautiful, but the entire process – which can so often be daunting – went very smoothly. “The designer was very helpful and extremely professional,” Sandra says. “We were given an installation schedule outlining all individual trades and when they would be on site. Everything ran to plan and on time.”

John Herbut’s experience and professionalism helped make the whole experience easy and enjoyable. “We were very happy with his suggestions,” says Bob. “He incorporated all of our needs and was very flexible. We are very happy with the service and are enjoying our new kitchen.”

The fixed-price itemised quote from Balhannah Kitchens by Design listed every aspect of the job, giving the Greenleafs peace of mind about the project. The price met their budget and they couldn’t be happier with the work that was done.

Bob and Sandra’s new kitchen is exactly what they were hoping for, and they have one simple message to share. “We would definitely recommend Balhannah Kitchens By Design,” Sandra says.

Our new kitchen replaces one built in the 1950s, back in the day of Bill Haley, Peggy Sue and Elvis, so it was a long time coming. When it’s finally time to do something about that old kitchen, it’s worth doing it right. So Frank and Susan had no hesitation in going back to John Herbut from Balhannah Kitchens By Design.

“The price was right and we’d dealt with these guys before,” says Frank. “We were happy with the previous work they’d done. Both the designer and builder suggested options, notably that the old breakfast room be demolished and the two rooms be amalgamated into one huge kitchen come informal dining area. We also liked the idea of modifying the old stainless steel sink with its two deep sink washing areas.”The Site Installation Schedule provided by Balhannah Kitchens By Design spelled out when all of the different trades would be on site and the fixed price contract provided Frank and Sally with peace of mind.

“The only holdups were as a result of the subcontracting we were responsible for,” says Susan. “Lets face it, sometimes things don’t work exactly to plan the further you move away from ‘The City’”. Their new kitchen is more than a nice place to cook – it has revitalised their home. “It’s brought the family together again for informal evening meals. We also love the fact that nearly all the cupboards are replaced with expansive pullout drawers that makes the kitchen much more efficient – no more things hidden at the back of cupboards.” Frank and Susan’s new kitchen may have been a long time coming but it was worth the wait. “The whole kitchen is user friendly and a joy to cook in,” says Susan. “We certainly recommend John and the crew.”

Tony & Ashley chose John Herbut from Balhannah Kitchens By Design to update their kitchen and laundry after seeing the detail that John put into everything. From the itemised quote to the dedicated design that was put together with the utmost consideration for their ideas and needs. “It was an excellent design, with a lot of detail,” Tony says. After receiving their personalised custom design from John and his team they were happy right from the start. “The quality in the construction of the cabinets and a promotional discount helped us make the final decision.” In addition to John’s fully itemised quote, which detailed individual costs for each item and sub-contractor, Tony and Ashley also received a  site installation Schedule showing dates and subcontractor details, so they knew who was going to be at the site at any given time. John’s professionalism from beginning to end reassured the couple that he was the right choice for them and their home. “John was always available and helpful throughout the whole process,” Tony says. John was accommodating and flexible with everything they could possibly need. “He was excellent, really coordinated everything well.” Tony and Ashley love their  new kitchen and laundry and are more than happy to spread the word about John and Balhannah Kitchens by Design. “We have already recommended them to others,”  Tony says.

David and Lee-Anne had a vision for their dream kitchen, so when it came to choosing a designer they wanted to make sure it was someone who would understand their needs.

After meeting with John Herbut from Balhannah Kitchens by Design they knew they had found their man. “Once he realised that we didn’t want a ‘modern’ looking kitchen he had plenty of suggestions to get the right look and feel,” says David. “ We showed him the things about our dream kitchen that we really wanted and he made sure that he could customise our kitchen around them.” John’s experience was also valuable in making David and Lee-Anne’s concept a reality. “John asked the right questions that showed he understood what we anted, and came up with the ideas to create the space to make it work. He showed us a design for a customer he had done before, so we felt comfortable that he knew what was involved for it to be a success,” says Lee-Anne.

David and Lee-Anne were also impressed with John’s itemised, Fixed Price Contract and Site Installation Schedule, which gave them peace of mind. “The site installation schedule was really good,” says Lee-Anne. “Being provided with exact dates of which trades were arriving on which days made it easier for us to organise the other aspects of our renovation project.” The couple are so happy with their new kitchen, they’re happy to recommend John to anyone. “John was so professional and easy going that it made us feel confident that we could leave it all to him to deliver a kitchen we would love, and he did,” says David. “Going with Balhannah Kitchens by Design certainly made it less of a stressful time, we could just focus on being excited about the end result.”

Jonathan and Veruschka had been planning to renovate their kitchen for ten years and knew it was going to be a large, complex job. But with the help of John Herbut from Balhannah Kitchens By Design they transformed their small, dark kitchen into a light-filled, spacious area that’s become the central focus of the house.

When the couple first met with John he immediately adapted to their ideas as well as developed them beyond their expectations. “We were very pleased with the way John listened carefully to our initial thoughts and then worked with us all the way through to develop these into the final design,” says Jonathan, “his experience was
evident at every stage but we were always closely involved in the dialogue.”

While looking for someone they wanted to work with, Jonathan and Veruschka asked tradespeople they knew who they would recommend. “John’s name came up in a very short list,” says Jonathan.

Balhannah Kitchens provided the couple with a site installation schedule, which was very detailed with names and contacts of everyone involved. The couple were impressed as the schedule was flexible as well as detailed. “Thanks to this level of planning and the fact that the people on the job co-ordinated together so well, the kitchen
was finished on time.”

Jonathan and Veruschka are extremely happy with the results. “The result is stunning. It really has exceeded our expectations in every respect. John has created a marvelously
spacious, practical kitchen using the existing floor plan in very creative ways, and the high quality of the work is evident throughout.”

The couple said they would recommend John without hesitation. “Having a kitchen renovated is a major and potentially very disruptive undertaking. John’s experience and planning ensured that the job was completed with minimum difficulty and to a very high standard.”

Ally and Matt had heard lots of horror stories about kitchen renovations, so they’re glad they chose John Herbut from Balhannah Kitchens By Design when the time came to update theirs.

The couple knew that renovating an old stone cottage would throw up a few surprises, but they’re impressed with the planning and workmanship that went into their new kitchen. “It all went smoothly, just as John said it would,” says Ally.

She and Matt had been to several kitchen designers before they saw some pictures of John Herbut’s work. “We went with him because he’s a local,” Ally says. She was also impressed with the design process. “It’s a fantastic design and he gave us lots of options. What I originally envisaged would’ve cost us a lot more, so John came up with a different plan and was happy to make changes that we wanted. Being able to see it in 3D on the computer made it easy for me to understand too.”

When the time came to build, Ally and Matt were pleasantly surprised. “The tradesmen were here on time, every time,” Ally says. “They did great work and cleaned up after themselves. I was happy to have them in my home. All the little things were taken care of.”

Ally and Matt couldn’t be happier with their new kitchen. “It was all done on schedule and on budget, and the results speak for themselves.”

Steve and Kelly wanted a kitchen that was more conducive to their social lifestyle. The old one was completely isolated from the other areas of the house and they needed a designer who could open it up into spacious and comfortable living area.

John Herbut from Balhannah Kitchens By Design had previously renovated Kelly’s mum’s kitchen, so they knew that he could be relied upon to fulfil their vision.

“I was very impressed with the transformation of mum’s kitchen” said Kelly “I couldn’t wait to see what he could do with ours”.

Kelly ideally wanted to achieve an open plan that would allow her to watch TV or to engage with others in the living rooms whilst preparing meals. “We knew this was a big ask, but John stepped up to the task, creating several great potential concepts for us to choose from” said Kelly.

The final model that the pair fell in love with saw the dividing wall taken down and replaced with an open plan design, including an angled island unit with oven, cook top and glass canopy.

Steve was very pleased with John’s complete fixedprice itemized quote. “It made it very easy to see where the money was spent and a piece of mind knowing the sub-trades wouldn’t blow out. The whole project went very smoothly”.

Steve and Kelly are so happy with their kitchen that they have already recommended Balhannah Kitchens By Design to friends.

“We can’t stop smiling when it comes to talking about our kitchen” they said, “John met our brief completely”.
