Dear Lester,
We just wanted to thank you for doing such a wonderful job on our kitchen renovation. After dealing unsuccessfully with another kitchen contractor, it was such a pleasure to have you step in and give us exactly what we dreamed of!

Steve enjoyed being your "assistant" and helping hands-on with our project. The end result is just incredible - we couldn't be happier.

Thanks Again,
Cheryl and Steve Wilhide, Baltimore, MD

Since moving into our home in 1993, we had the idea that we would like to redo the kitchen. We had no definite plans, just that it needed "something".

In the fall of 2006 we both went to the Business Expo held at Westlake. There we met Lester Kuhn. We talked and looked at many pictures and liked what we saw. Lester's work, as well as the quality of the cabinets is first rate, and we are very pleased with the result. A lot of time was spent in planning with many drawings and discussions. The work is professional and is scheduled and done efficiently.

As an added bonus, I'm quite sure that this renovation will add to the resale value of our home, if and when we decide to sell.

It was a stroke of luck when we met Lester Kuhn as he was bringing his kitchen building business - Kitchens at the Lake - to the lake. We had several brainstorming sessions with him and he artfully revised our original kitchen plans. We are very thankful that with his experienced vision of an efficient, attractive and customized kitchen, he was able to transform our original floor plan into a beautiful kitchen. This transformation increased the size and improved the utilization of space.

Being unfamiliar with the Honey Brooke brand of cupboards, we found a local dealer and examined them. These cupboards are upscale, solid wood and come with a lot of standard quality features such as automatic slow closing drawers. They are custom built to fit our space and definitely add to the overall value of the house.

The quality of the cupboards was matched by Les's professionalism. We were very impressed with his creative ideas, timeliness and attention to detail.

Anyone looking for a unique kitchen that reflects quality of design, material, workmanship and finished product should call Les Kuhn's Kitchens at the Lake.

Dear Les:
I am writing to you to rave about the recent work you have completed in our new home in Richmond. When we were first considering purchasing this home, we knew that we would need to update the house in its entirety. Realizing that we had to completely tear out the kitchen and master bathroom, I immediately thought of you as the only person to do the job and do it the way I would expect it to be completed so that it looked fabulous.

We first used your services 19 years ago when we totally re-worked my kitchen in our home on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The kitchen was contemporary for its time and worked perfectly for entertaining lots of-guests. It worked so well that it is eventually what helped sell our home 2 years ago.

We called you for advice on our new home and within one week had a complete layout as to what you thought the best way to re-work the kitchen would be. We loved the plan you laid out and took pride in working with you to complete the design of the custom cabinets. It was a pleasure working with you to coordinate with other contractors that assisted with the lighting and countertops. Upon completion of this room, we can assure you that we have a designer showcase kitchen.

Alter completing the kitchen, we then contracted you to design custom cabinets for our master bath, dining room and guest bathroom. As we would expect, the work was incredible. Furthermore, you stayed within the anticipated due dates which always makes a homeowner happy.

We are frequently providing others with your name and number so they can receive the incredible service and quality craftsmanship that we continue to receive from you. What better way is there to thank someone for the dreams they have made come true than to refer another potential customer to you. We thank you for all the effort you do to make our home beautiful!

Very truly yours,
Carol Wheatley, Richmond, VA
