What Our Clients Say

“We quickly bonded with Jen Durfee at Topnotch Design Studio, who worked by our side with infinite patience and a perfect eye to design the kitchen-of-our-dreams. Her network of suppliers was equally helpful, and Jen was there every step of the way to coordinate the final product. You won’t get us out of our new kitchen anytime soon, but I’d work with Jen on another renovation anytime! She is fun and the work product is impeccable!”

“We spent a lot of time researching who to use to remodel our kitchen. We are very pleased to say we chose Topnotch Design! We knew we wanted a kitchen with very clean lines and a transitional / modern look. Top Notch understood what we wanted, and provided great options, including suggestions on details and features that complemented the design and enhanced what we were thinking about. Jacque was very helpful with tile and paint selections to complete the process. We will enjoy this kitchen for years to come!”

“We just love our new kitchen. And everyone who has come to visit has been impressed. My daughter-in-law said “I feel like I’m in a kitchen design magazine.” My best friend whose greatest compliment never goes farther then “It’s nice”, said “It’s beautiful!” And my mother who is a tough and critical cookie from Connectitcut came in and her mouth dropped open. In all my 66 years, I’ve never seen my mother’s mouth drop open!!”
