My experience with Clay, and his talented associates, has been nothing short of excellent. The kitchen cabinets he built have the look and feel of fine furniture and the installation was exceptional........even other trade's people have remarked on how fine the installation was. Clay's kitchen redesign took a room and turned it into the centerpiece of modern living, opening the entire center of the house into new, spacious and beautiful living space. I would not hesitate to recommend Clay to anyone looking for true craftsmanship.

I have know Kitchens by Clay for at least a decade and have found them to be one of the most professional Kitchen & Bath firms in Naples, Florida.
The enthusiasm to "Do the Right Thing" for their customers is infectious. As a NKBA professional, it is important that professionalism and integrity are at the forefront of the culture of any company.
Kitchens by Clay is one of the most professional Kitchen & Bath design firms I have seen in Florida.
Even though, they do not carry any of my products, as a manufacturers representative, it is always a pleasure to visit professional firms such as Kitchens by Clay.

My most recent project is my third project handled by KBC. This was our final and most significant undertaking and as expected, they exceeded our expectations. Our project was a collaborative effort that produced an amazing outcome! The kitchen cabinet design and layout receives high accolades and the Master bathroom as well. The KBC team goes above and beyond to meet client expectations and that commitment exists at the design, install and ongoing customer service levels. You will not be disappointed with Team KBC.

I have never worked with ANY business in my business life or personal life that has been as good at Kitchens By Clay. The entire experience was great from the estimating process to the finish product. He has great people working for him who care about the work they are doing and that is reflected in the final product. His prices are reasonable but the work is truly OUTSTANDING.
- EK, Naples, FL
We had 3 estimates before being blown away with Kitchens by Clay. These people are easy to work with and very knowledgeable and creative. Clay exudes confidence as well as friendliness. We received a work schedule that was adhered to except our kitchen was done a bit early. His general contractor,Jack Lucarelli, went out of his way to make sure things were done in a timely manor. Overall this worked out extremely well.
- Ronald Miller
You have a terrific team of talented people

We have had several very good experiences with Kitchens by Clay, their showroom is organized and easy to work with, their staff is friendly and helpful with good ideas.
The best is that their cabinets always arrive on time and are immediately installed by skilled craftsman. We highly recommend them.

Complex Simplicity
May 12th, 2011
This is a pretty exciting time to be in the cabinet business. Every once in awhile the entire business turns itself upside down and what was popular all of a sudden is no longer popular.
This happened many years ago when everyone and his father wanted pickled maple or pickled oak cabinetry. Holy smokes – I saw enough pink cabinets to last me a lifetime. Then it went to white thermo-foil doors. This was mostly driven by builders. The idea was that they would put inexpensive cabinets in kitchens and that would allow them to upgrade the countertops because the tops were becoming the next design item of importance for the consumer. That was followed by the “Tuscany” kitchen. Corbels and fluted pilasters abounded for quite a few years. It was all about decorative accents and detail after detail. This amounted to a lot of trim work and space used just to make a statement that says, “I’m a Tuscany style kitchen”. These all had their time and place in my lifetime and although I am happy to move along to something new I do know that the customer is the final decision maker and if that means I must build another Tuscany kitchen or install pickled oak cabinetry then I’m the man for the job.
What I am seeing now is quite the opposite of all that I described above. I am seeing what I heard someone else call “complex simplicity”. This phrase can be used to describe what we are just now unveiling in the kitchen design business. The designs utilize every inch of usable space and are clean and simple lines. Some may call it contemporary, but it is far more than that. The textures and door style are varied and can satisfy many different tastes. This means there is easily something there for everyone. Open shelves vs. closed door storage is simplicity in itself. Combing textured cabinets doors with high gloss doors represents the complexity of it. Having oven cabinets that are not 8 foot tall but lower for the ease of use is a simple idea in itself. Multi-level countertops built with many different uses in mind can be a complex design but makes the kitchen use very, very simple.
Next month we will take this to the next step and discuss how “complex simplicity” affects how you use your cabinetry.
