Jan did a complete kitchen remodel for us. She was great at listening to what we wanted and gave us a several creative design options. The job was especially challenging as the room had been through previous renovations and the walls and ceiling were not exactly plumb. Jan was diligent in taking exact measurements and overseeing the cabinet installation. We are extremely pleased with the end result.

From the moment that Jan walked into our lives, we knew that it was meant to be. Jan is a treasure! She is professional and patient. Her background in architecture and her sense of space and how it works is amazing. All of this and more proved invaluable in turning our wishes into reality!! Now we have a friend for life and know who to turn to for our next project.

Jan, I was looking at your website and appreciating the pictures of our kitchen. I love our stove, which is getting me to cook. Can you believe it? I now feel the difference in using better appliances and I’m glad we chose an upgrade for that.


Your website is so well done and describes your process really well. What you explain on your site actually happens and, when I refer you, I’ll refer people to it.


I was recently leafing through a decorating magazine and read a story indicating that delays and nightmares are part of the remodeling process and to expect them. Thankfully, that didn’t happen at all with our project.


Well done and thank you again.

I would like to recommend Jan Goldman of Kitchen Elements.


I recently needed to completely remodel a kitchen and we brought Jan in to assist. We are so glad we did. Jan advised us and completely managed the project for us.


I couldn’t believe the amount of time Jan spent personally following up on details related to our kitchen. She helped us to plan the new kitchen, advised on selection of options and ways to cut costs, and completely managed and took responsibility for the entire process. I never realized how many details and issues there are relating to new kitchens – there are a LOT. In particular, I never realized that there were so many details regarding putting in a countertop.


I was so glad Jan was there to guide us.

Jan Goldman brings a unique perspective to the area of kitchen and bath design. She is able to view a space and utilize its maximum potential. She incorporates her customers’ wishes into her creative designs, being mindful of their budget constraints. The finished product artistically elevates the space while still reflecting the customers’ personality.
 
On a personal note, I found Jan to be responsive to my constant questions, to be diligent in following up on the smallest details, to adhere to our wishes and to respect the sanctity of our home. Her support and dedication were invaluable in helping us create our dream kitchen.

It has been my pleasure to work with Jan Goldman on several kitchen projects in the past seven years. Jan brings to the table the most important ability to listen to the client as well as, in my case, the designer’s needs. Coupled with her keen design ability, vision and follow through, Jan never disappoints!

I now have a beautiful kitchen that is a stylish, high functioning space with the uniqueness that we sought from the start. This transformation is because of Kitchen Elements.


We worked with Jan Goldman and found her to be professional, innovative and exceptionally talented at both design and solving problems in ingenious ways. Her flexibility and patience was unequaled when some structural issues arose and my choices changed. She seamlessly created and offered new ideas, which her construction team were able to implement immediately.


Jan works with only the best craftsmen, who were also impressive, professional and punctual at all times. She has also forged relationships with independent suppliers, which gave us an exceptional range of materials to choose from.


Although I was certain of my countertop choice, her expertise and awareness of new products in the market place allowed us to visit a granite supplier (and, yes, she goes with you) and choose a new type of finish that I would not have found without her help.


Jan met with us countless times, took all of our requirements into consideration and really listened to the way the whole family utilized the space before producing a plethora of detailed architectural plans. She was also mindful of our budget, always suggesting a variety of ways to ‘get the look’ and maintain high quality, while finding the best prices for us.


I cannot speak highly enough about her calm, easy going nature, sense of humor, great communication skills and, of course, experience in the field. She also is knowledgeable, has the ability to conceptualize and create the look you want without explaining every detail to her. This is her gift.


If you are confused as who to work with on your project, look no further. Whether you know exactly how you’d like your new kitchen to look or whether you need help with basic design, product or appliance selection, Kitchen Elements is the company I would unreservedly recommend. We felt safe in Jan’s trustworthy, experienced and, above all, talented hands.


It has been a joy to work with her as she has created a gem of a kitchen which suits the whole family and has literally changed the ‘feel’ of the entire home.


Thank you Kitchen Elements!

Jan gave us the most professional and creative experience when we were desiging our kitchen and home. She is a pleasure to work with and had the finest taste and practical advice!

My dated 70s kitchen was transformed into a stunning, contemporary family space for my children, husband and I to relax and be together as a family.  Everyday we relish and enjoy it, and, upon entering the house, guests are quick to comment on its striking design and utility. In helping us design the room, Jan fulfilled every objective we hoped to realize and provided infinite approaches in design and functionality to make it all work.  She works with clients to make design work for them.

We did a major remodel with Jan Goldman and it was a wonderful experience. People seem to often talk about remodeling nightmares and it was such a positive, exciting experience for us. The amount of time and dedication to our job, along with her professional experience and attention to detail I believe made it so successful. Her design experience is the best I’ve ever seen (this was not our first remodel). Jan listened carefully and was extremely creative in coming up with solutions. Her time line was realistic and she was extremely involved in the entire process. Working with Jan exceeded our expectations in every way!

From the moment we met Jan, she impressed us with her terrific creativity, experience, total professionalism, and friendly personality. Here, at long last, was someone with whom we could work comfortably and confidently to remodel and redesign our kitchen into a gourmet center plus three baths — one a master bath spa, another a guest bath, and the third a bath on the lower level.

From the beginning, Jan asked all the right questions, and quickly understood our requirements, priorities, likes, dislikes, and just plain quirks. In fact, one of the traits we appreciated most in Jan was her ability to listen, and then share her ideas with us. She was very thorough, careful, and worked amicably with our contractor. The highest accolade we can give Jan is this: we got the BEST when we became a team, and it was truly a privilege to work with someone of her caliber and professional ethics. Thanks, Jan.

When we moved to our house we knew it needed a lot of work to make it our own. We eagerly attacked renovating the downstairs living area….except for the kitchen. Although, this room was sorely in need of a major makeover; the task seemed daunting. We had no idea how to approach this project, but knew that without an expert eye and advice the outcome could be bad. We went to several different kitchen design showrooms, but were left cold by the lack of guidance from the sales people. It seemed that we would be in charge and would have to “run the project.” That was an approach we knew we didn’t want! We knew what type of look we wanted, but needed a professional to help us obtain that.

Friends of ours had their kitchen renovated by Jan Goldman, and it was beautiful! They had a wonderful experience working with Jan. Luckily we took their advice and decided to work with Jan. Her knowledge of kitchen design, professional manner, and excellent taste made this experience enjoyable. Jan’s direct involvement with the contractors, her availability and follow through were integral for making the renovation flow smoothly. Additionally, we always knew we could trust her advice and rely on her expertise.

Two years later we still admire our beautiful and highly functional new kitchen, as do visitors to our home. We couldn’t have done this project without Jan’s help.

Our entire experience with Kitchen Elements for our renovation was a positive one. From the design to the work, we were happy every aspect and we are so enjoying our new kitchen.

We brought Jan in based solely on testimonials and references from the Olney/Brookeville Exchange on Yahoo. We weren’t disappointed! We had some general ideas as to what we wanted in a remodeled kitchen, but the prospect of doing it ourselves was daunting – selecting materials, contractors, scheduling, coordinating – was clearly beyond us.

Jan’s idea of service-with-a-smile meant guiding us through uncharted territory. She wants her clients to know that she takes the worry out of making “the right choices.” She is respectful of her clients – realizing that this is their home, their space, their project – not trying to force her own choices and preferences on her clients.

Her choices in the folks she brought in to do the work was spot-on! They were all reliable, conscientious professionals! In short, Jan Goldman’s Kitchen Elements was a pleasure work with, and we couldn’t be more pleased with our new kitchen.
