Kitchen and Bath RemodelingRita and Kevin Beck, OwnersCumberland Kitchen and Bath Design CenterRita and Kevin know what it takes to run an organized kitchen and bath remodel. Shopping for a kitchen or bath is not an easy task for the consumer. Considerations include color matching, quality, the design itself and whether your designer is creating a functional kitchen or bath that will truly meet your needs. Then there’s the most crucial decision: Do you feel comfortable and trust the designer and the company you will be doing business with? Once Cumberland Kitchen helps you make all the decisions that need to be made, your designer will be working with you one on one throughout the entire project, which will translate into a much better customer experience.
