Functional Design Custom Kitchens

My wife and I just redid our kitchen. We worked with Michael from the very start. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Michael and the job he, and his employees did. We would work with them again, and we highly recommend them.

As an architect, I help homeowners with the spatial layout of their new kitchens; however, no kitchen is real nor completed until a kitchen designer, supplier, and installer takes over. Mike Mondiello at Functional Design is absolutely stellar with his work. Mike is there with his clients every step of the way, through every detail of cabinet and counter design and specification, measurement of the area of installation, and during the installation process itself. His attention to his clients is unparalleled, which is why I highly recommend him and will continue to do so in the future. Looking forward the next project, Mike!

My wife and I hired Michael Mondiello from Functional Design Custom Kitchens to design the kitchen in our new custom-built dream house. Based largely on his recommendation and samples in his studio, we selected concrete countertops. Unfortnately, what he installed was significantly different than the samples he carries in his office and the product has failed to live up to expectations. Despite being less than one year old, the countertops are stained, discolored, and chipped in places too numerous to count. Construction and workmanship were shoddy. When we discussed our concerns with Michael, he denied having certain conversations that occurred in the presence of both me and my wife. Unfortunately, Michael has a very limited and poor knowledge of the materials that he recommends and sells. We would not recommend using Functional Design Custom Kitchens and will never do business with this company or Michael Mondiello again. If you want a quality kitchen designed by someone who is knowledgeable about the materials to be used and will actually stand by their product, look elsewhere and find another company.

I have worked on several projects with Functional Designs. They have expertly executed full kitchens for me, was well as custom pieces of furniture which my firm has designed for discriminating clients. Everyone has always been thrilled with the results of Michael's work, especially the designer! It is a pleasure to work with a colleague who respects the design process and has a clear understanding of any given project and client needs.
