Testimonials

Martha Nelems (Lael O'Brien designer)
I have worked with Patricia and Santi for several years. This is our first project which encompassed an open concept kitchen and three bathrooms in a contemporary cabin on Pender Island. The end result was beautiful and creative, and Santi was very accommodating with my many requests for customization and advice. They also helped source countertops and pulls since it was an awkward project being on an island!  We have also collaborated on several projects since then and all of my clients are extremely happy with with their cabinets.  I think their aluminum product is so innovative and practical, and wonderful because it is different and unexpected.  Best of all they are two of the most lovely, creative and service oriented people I have worked with. Lael O'Brien, designer. IMDesign did a fantastic job of designing and installing our kitchen. We are thrilled with the results! Its a beautiful, highly functional kitchen. Patricia and Santi were creative, within budget, easy to work with - great professionals. We highly recommend IMDesign! Martha Nelems
Dan and Arthur, Pender Island
We worked with Innovative Modern Design, when we were transitioning our weekend get-away to our full-time retirement home.  Our dream had been that one day we would retire from our jobs, and live full-time on Pender Island, BC. We wanted to upgrade our kitchen, and called upon Innovative Modern Design to visit our home, and come up with ideas for us. The end result was a huge surprise and a welcomed one from this young professional couple who brought their ideas and state of the art drawings of possible outcomes. Our new kitchen was completed on time, in budget, and with a guarantee of satisfaction. This company is unique, affordable, and highly skilled offering a unique product that is strong and eye pleasing.

Santi and Patricia recently completed our kitchen make-over. The cupboards look fabulous. Well made, terrific attention to detail. Both were very helpful in design and colour advice which was all part of the package. We didn't have to worry about anything and our marriage remained intact. We would recommend IMDesign without hesitation, great product, great people.

Patricia and Santi care about their products, quality, and exceeding client’s expectations. Their drawings were well detailed so we could envision the end product and easily refine our requirements early in the process. Santi’s craftsmanship is superb and his attention to detail is readily apparent when seeing him work. He came up with several innovative solutions to overcome on-site challenges. Patricia was very helpful in providing design options to get the best layout. They deliver what they promise when they say they will and stayed on budget. We’re loving our new kitchen!!

Patricia and Santi provided us with excellent service, including helping us with the design which turned out to meet our needs very well. The cabinets were made in a timely manner and the installation was professional and done with great care and attention to detail. When we requested backsplashes that were not part of the original order we were accommodated quickly and well. We have had the new kitchen for almost four years and we are extremely happy with it. It is beautiful - the brick red colour we chose and the cabinets are excellent quality and work very well. They are easy to clean and look perfect after almost two years. We enjoy cooking together and prepare food from scratch almost every evening. The kitchen functions exceptionally well for us. In conclusion: We couldn't be happier with it. Katz
Sandy, Gulf Islands
We hired Santi to build weather-proof cabinetry for an outdoor BBQ in a modern beach-front home. He was able to match the paint colour we requested and make the cabinets fit perfectly to accommodate plumbing and gas fittings. They have been in place now for over a year and still look new. We were so pleased that we then hired him to build cabinets for a bar area and bathroom. These spaces were very unique, unconventional shapes, and again the cabinets fit perfectly. In conversation it also came up that we were looking for ideas to add bug screens to our commercial-style windows. Santi came up with a great solution, and provided screens for all the windows in the house. Sandyj65   Truly great service. The owners are a treat to work with! A superb product, and they customized parts of it. I love aluminum cabinetry!  Architect Tony Robins

IMDesign provided a free consultation and estimate. I had a few ideas of my own. It was amazing that Santi knew just what to do to make my perfect kitchen. Custom design is so much better; everything fits beautifully. I love the quality and clean indestructible aluminum and the clever ideas for the use of all the space. We love our kitchen!! The price is close to any other ready built without having the hassle of doing the work! Tannis Kirby, Pender Island

The kitchen that Santi and Patricia designed and installed for me is everything I asked for and more.  They used the space I had and created more counter space and storage. I love the way it looks and it feels, it's great to use. They were so helpful and understanding and gave me many options and colours to choose from. My new kitchen cabinets make my whole house look fresh and modern. It is important to me to have healthy materials and aluminum is perfect because it has no VOCs or off-gassing and the quality is impeccable.  I am so thankful for my beautifully functional kitchen.
Krista Rossato, designer
Innovative Modern Design offers a unique product - cabinetry that is made of aluminum rather than particle board or other wood based or plastic based materials. The result was a unique kitchen that was modern, timeless, durable, and did not present any off-gassing to taint the customers' food or wine glasses. I was most impressed by the fact that they take personal pride in their product and the service they offered and this is evident through their detailed measurements and meticulous work. I got exactly what I was expecting. As we fine-tuned any final deficiencies, they were more than happy to ensure their product was performing beyond the client expectations, and were quick to respond with any final fine-tunings. I would recommend this company, not only for their product, but also for their service.

Thank you Santi and Patricia for the excellent work you did in our home.  We wanted to update our 'tired' condo and enjoy the practicality and sleek appearance of your aluminum cabinetry.  You worked with us and with our space to create a beautiful kitchen and closet doors throughout our home.  We appreciated the time you took; your ideas and attention to detail.  You truly are 'problem solvers'- you found a way to overcome issues within the existing condo that gave us just what we wanted- beauty combined with perfect functionality.  Thank you!
