Modern kitchen remodel

Elie was referred by our friend and he was excellent to work with. We came up with a modern design which also met our functional needs for daily living. Elie was readily available by text or phone throughout the project from start to end. He was very meticulous about the details but also adjusted onsite during the installation as our kitchen has some bowing walls and unexpected dimensions. Now our kitchen is modern, bright, and very spacious. We are very happy with the end result and recommend Elie for your kitchen needs.

Knocked it out of the park! In High Park

What a pleasure it was to work with Elie and Gemael Kitchens. Our 100 year old home and 16 year old kitchen needed an update. We spoke to a few companies and thankfully a friend recommended Elie. It was obvious from our first conversation that he knows what hes doing - very professional, very experienced and honest. He doesnt miss a detail and for that we are so pleased with not only the outcome but also the process. We highly recommend Gemael Kitchens!!

Kitchen, laundry and front entrance cabinetry

We met Elie at the home show and could tell right away that he is very serious about providing excellent solutions for his clients.
David worked with us on the kitchen and main floor design and a lot of thought went into achieving a functional and practical layout.
Communication was excellent throughout the process: from design considerations to feedback on preparations needed prior to install to responding to some minor issues during the install.
Care went into protecting our home during the install along with cleaning up daily.
The installation was on time and budget.
Elie is very detail oriented and made sure that the materials and install were done right.

It doesn't get better than this

Elie has been amazing to work with all throughout the process. We went through the complete home renovation and our kitchen was the only item done on time and as agreed. He's been attentive and accomodating and the amount of care and the accountability was unmatched. It felt like he was installing a kitchen in his own home. I absolutely recommend his services.

Wall units, built-in, bedroom cabinets

Gemael Kitchens are incredible. They designed and produced everything from their offices in Toronto and drove down to install it in Montreal. They went above and beyond. We are ecstatic with the final product.

New kitchen

Elie did an outstanding job. I’m a caterer so very aware of detail, and working with Gemael kitchens I knew immediately that I had found the right company. Every last detail was thought out so much so that the grain in the wooden pantry top and bottom cupboards went in the exact same order. Every cabinet is made like a piece of furniture.
Elie is so reliable. Started when he said he would and came back to check even after his installation was completed that the contractors work was done correctly.
I can highly recommend him and love the kitchen so much that I have passed his details to an interior decorating company Circle snd square.
Thanks again for an incredible job.
I truly love this kitchen.

Walk-In Closet Built Ins

We engaged Elie to design and install built in cabinetry for a walk in closet and the results exceeded our expectations. His design advice was practical and knowledgable and his attention to detail resulted in a very high quality installation. It is also worth noting that his customer service is exemplary. He was on time for every appointment, kept us updated on the status of work regularly and kept the work area clean and tidy at all times. Eli is very pleasant and professional to work with and we would absolutely recommend him. In fact, we will be bring him back to do some other projects.

kitchen Renovation

As many others, my husband & I had spent a couple of years trying to figure out how to best renovate our main floor space which included the kitchen. When we met Elie of Counter Measures, he was very knowledgeable, accommodating and punctual to answering our phone calls, emails, etc. He also arranged with previous clients (2018) for us to see his work in their kitchens before we signed on; many thanks again to those clients for trusting us in your homes.
Due to structural concerns and our own indecisiveness, our kitchen
design took much longer than Elie or ourselves anticipated. Elie was patient and went above and beyond with several designs & changes until it was all figured out and we were completely satisfied. I will be honest, there were a few very frustrating conversations along the way, but that was understandable due to the scope of our project and yet we always worked out any differences and continued forward. We truly came to understand one another and today we have a beautiful and much more functional kitchen.
In this entire design there was only one flaw that we discovered after the fact; the spice drawer with a tray insert doesn’t quite function the way we hoped and unfortunately due to the height of the tray, many standard store bought jars prevent the drawer from closing, therefore having me to buy small reusable jars. Besides this height miscalculation Elie did a wonderful job! we are very pleased and love our new kitchen.
Thanks Elie

Thank you for your review and kind words. It's unfortunate that the spice drawer is not functioning the way you intended it to. In fact most spice tray that get inserted into a standard top drawer may require some spice bottle reconfiguration. Luckily, this is only an insert and can be replaced in the future if you decide to do so very easily and I'd be happy to assist you with that. I also want to thank you for considering us for designing and building your new media centre cabinetry, we very much look forward to working with you in the near future on that project.
Best,
Elie
