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.

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.

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.

From the beginning we had a wonderful experience! Jason's design ideas and his attention to detail solved several workspace and storage issues and left us with a beautiful kitchen! Their attention to detail and follow thru all the way thru the last minor issues was excellent. We highly recommend 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.

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.

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.

Yes, I know the scale is 1-5, with 5 being the best, but every aspect of this job deserves a 10, as you far exceeded even my most optimist expectations about how the job would go and how the finished product would look. I was immensely impressed with every aspect of your work. Congrats to all!!!

Fifty Shades of Gray…Kitchens that is…
July 7th, 2012
For over twenty years, Clay Cox, the owner of Kitchens By Clay in Naples, has seen just about everything in kitchen design: new colors, unique textures, and exciting design ideas that elevate a simple, practical kitchen space and transform it into anything but just practical.
This year, the shades of gray have taken over–and we do mean in kitchen design. “This year I have seen a popularity of gray tones come to the forefront of kitchen design” shares Cox, “even recently I heard that gray was the new beige.” He continues, “A client of mine, who is an exceptional interior designer, and who has collaborated with me many times now in both kitchen, bath and built-in designs, has created some of the most beautiful homes in Southwest Florida. I also believe she is years ahead of herself in design trends. She has been using gray tones in her kitchens design for years–and this is where I first saw gray being used in place of the predictable and standard beige.”
The color gray in a home design lends itself to a warm, comfortable living space hue–and also welcomes with a sensation of tranquility and peace. As a soft palette, it exudes elegance and a timeless backdrop in which to build design around in a room. Cox shares, “I have realized that gray can be used in many more ways than I ever thought possible. I quickly learned that gray, a basic color, can lighten up a home even though the color is…gray.” He expands, “As a kitchen designer, I hope you will forgive me as only commenting on kitchen design. Picture this: you have chosen a shade of gray paint for your cabinetry. The color is soft and luxurious. It has a sexy feel to it and you have fallen in love with it. Cabinet color is just one of the very many decisions you will need to make to create a kitchen which goes beyond ‘just a practical space to cook’ and allows you to create a sexy kitchen design.”
The funny thing about gray is–it isn’t necessarily just gray. Is there a hint of green in it, blue…perhaps a hue of blue is coming through? “Now you have just discovered one of the most wonderful and mysterious things about the color gray” comments Cox. As a truly multi-faceted color, with so many shades, a accent color can be chosen to highlight its shy undercurrents and fir your design ambitions. “That is beauty of designing with gray!’ exclaims Cox, “It will give you a soft neutral backdrop and create a balance, so that the ‘pop’ of color that you select reflecting your style will look fantastic! Try orange with gray! I know, you may think this is a strange unlikely combo, but try it! It works like peas in a pod.”
One can compliment a room with shades of gray in the floor and backsplash tiles. There are so many shades of gray to select from in design, that one could go into a paint store and study the color spectrum which offers virtually hundreds of hues of gray. There is a gray in every color! Designer Cox gets excited and exclaims, “Now think of stainless appliances! They are a natural fit.” Also try Carrera marble counter tops, with gorgeous streaks of gray and beige feathered together in splendid surfaces.
Gray is also a perfect contrast to timeless and classic beige. Weathered furniture is a natural and casual fit with gray and beige—a fresh coastal look can easy be achieved with a whitewashed table, weathered chairs, and silver-gray candlesticks. Reclaimed wood is a perfect kitchen table surface, which goes hand-in-hand with friendly gray.
With gray as a base color, no matter the hue, your appliances, cabinets, fixtures, hardware, tile and countertops–and even your kitchen table–will partner perfectly with any bold accent color. So, go ahead and substitute that boring beige for gorgeous gray and watch your your kitchen and home come to life with new color. Ah, the power of color. And who ever said gray was drab? Gray is today. Think silver, platinum, dove gray, charchol, gunmetal, icy gray or frost. It’s beautiful, timeless and classic…and it matches just about anything. Gray–the new beige!
