I decided to use Wendy to completely remodel our 35 year old kitchen in Sept. 2011 based on the great reviews here. My friends said that I was crazy to find someone off the Internet. However, since Wendy's office is close to my home, and I liked the products on her website, and the reviews, I decided to give her chance.
Boy, am I glad I did! Wendy did a very good job for me, and my kitchen came out beautifully. She has experienced crews that work with her, and they get in and out, and do the work well and efficiently. She promised a 2-week remodel, and that's when they finished, almost to the day!
I went with the Cherry Shaker cabinets and got some premium granite. Wendy worked with us to design our kitchen the way we wanted. She only does kitchens, so she is very experienced, and can tell you what to do (and not to do), what looks good (or not), etc.
As the other reviews have noted, Wendy's prices are very reasonable. She can give you upgrades, but her standard stuff and the quality work will give you a very nice looking kitchen at much less than you would expect.
Wendy has good attention to detail as do her crews. They did a very fine job on the moulding above my cabinets; it looks great. She also wants to make sure that you are 100% satisfied, and she does not nickel-and-dime you for little changes. Best of all, she doesn't charge you extra for all her design work. She does it as part of her job.
I am very impressed with Wendy, and my wife is extremely satisfied with the kitchen. Everyone who has seen it says our kitchen is beautiful. As they say, "happy wife = happy life!" I heartily recommend West Coast Granite & Kitchen to anyone looking for a kitchen remodel. You will not be disappointed!
This is the second time I've used Wendy and her team and again was very pleased with the five star service they provided. The first review is set forth below the astericks.
I recently purchased a new home in Newport Coast. The kitchen has white cabinets and black granite counters as did the island -- it was very generic and plain, but had a lot of potential. I wanted to transform it to something that looked custom and inviting by putting in a new island, while keeping the rest of the kitchen. I immediately consulted with Wendy because I knew only she could do the job right, and at a reasonable price within my tight budget.
Wendy understood the aesthetics of what I wanted right away. She understood that I wanted the island to look more like a piece of furniture that was built especially for the kitchen. She drew up a design to have the island cabinets be dark espresso with the counter a white carrera marble. This is very current because all the design magazines show kitchens with two tone woods and mixed counters. The new island design not only worked perfectly with the existing white cabinets but brought out the beauty of the existing black granite counters in the rest of the kitchen.
Wendy also made great design suggestions for the island legs, added details to the outside of the cabinets to provide a more custom/furniture look and helped me hand pick the most beautiful piece of carrera for the island counter top.
Wendy even helped clean up the hood area and some knicks in the white cabinets that remained, all for no charge. She wanted me to be 100% happy, but she never nickeled and dimed me.
My kitchen is now a show place and all for an amazing price. I have gotten compliments from everyone who has seen it and they can't believe what I paid. Needless to say, I am very happy with Wendy's work. The five star reviews are well deserved!

I hired Wendy and West Coast Granite & Kitchen to remodel the kitchen of my Fountain Valley house and was very pleased with the products and services they provided. My kitchen was the typical 1970s small, oak and white-tiled kitchen and Wendy and her team transformed it into a modern and functional space that ties the entire living and family room area together. I have received numerous compliments on how it turned out. Wendy has a good aesthetic eye, is detailed oriented and responded to every question and issue I raised. She made sure the time estimate was met and ensured that the workers understood my desired results to the detail. She was also a tremendous help in designing the layout and look of my new kitchen, which involved removing a wall and designing a custom island. I have recommended Wendy and West Coast to several of my friends who are looking for a kitchen remodel and you should not hesitate to use them.
We just finished our second kitchen remodel with West Coast. As with the first remodel on our rental, the kitchen turned out fabulous. In addition West Coast has done at least 4 other kitchen remodels for our friends and relatives. Obviously, the quality of workmanship, price and customer service has made a great difference in picking West Granite vs others. Wendy has that special personal touch and customer service that's invaluable for such projects. She has a special eye on what is needed and to details. Every project was done as if it was her own. If you are looking for great workmanship, that personal touch, and a great price; West Coast Granite and Kitchen can't be beat.
