We built a new home in 2021. Kitchen and bath design was one of the hardest parts of the project. We had the privilege of working with Erica Siejutt. She designed the kitchen (including window placement), bathrooms and closets. She is very professional, experienced, and cost conscious. We especially appreciated her patience. She held our hand throughout the process and got us a beautiful result. Thank you Erica. We couldnt have done it without you.

Just spoke with Joe Norwalk on the phone what a wonderful man. I have never met him I have nothing to do with Norwalk cabinets, but he was so kind and so nice and answered all my questions and took lots of time with me if I redo my kitchen up around Torch Lake I would definitely definitely use Joe
