The poor review above was written by a competitor down the street. He has put bullet holes in our glass and continuously harrassed us! we are an AWARD winning company with many years of credit to our name!!

Unfortunately, we have NEVER had a client named "Jeff Cohen". We have ALWAYS built our business from referrals. There is NO way we would EVER treat a customer without the UPMOST respect! The competitor down the street is CONSTANTLY making up false reports! Please call us or come in, you will experience NOTHING SHORT OF RESPECT! WE WERE VOTED THE TOP SHOWROOM IN THE TWIN CITIES IN 2008-PLUS THE BBB INTEGRITY AWARD, YOU CAN'T BE AWARDED THAT HONOR IF YOU ACT LIKE WHAT THIS "JEFF COHEN" STATES.REGARDS TO ALL, Sam Oertel, Owner, CKBRArchitectural Space Planner

Even though they seem very knowledgeable of their work and have a nice looking showroom the attitude towards the future client is horrible.

My husband and I hired Sam and Dave to totally remodel our kitchen and first floor powder room last Nov 2007. We cannot say enough good things about them. Sam designed the layout of our new kitchen and was the only one of 3 different kitchen designers that was able to find a way to fit an island into the room. She put together a calendar for the construction work, which was followed precisely. Her husband, Dave did the demolition, sheet rock install and taping, cabinet installation, trim work, etc. Electrical, plumbing, wood floor, cambria counter installation, and painting were done by subs Dave and Sam have worked with for a long time. We were very happy with the work of the subs too. Dave stopped by frequently to see the work of the subs was being done according to plan. Dave and Sam take great pride in their work, are extremely knowledgeable, conscientious, and have many years of experience in their respective areas. Both Sam and Dave's attention to detail was above and beyond what we expected. We are totally happy with our new kitchen and still frequently discover new things we love about it's design and construction.

We really enjoyed working with Sam and Dave on our kitchen remodel. Sam had lots of good ideas and helped us come up with a great plan. She really listened to our needs and our ideas. Dave did a great job installing our cabinets. Both Sam and Dave listened to the few concerns that we had and made sure that the job was finished to our satisfaction.

We were amidst a remodeling job going bad when we found Sam and Dave. Sam's knowledge, creation, and execution of a plan was truely the bright light that to this day remains. Dave's expertise, attention to detail, yet efficient work pace was also very impressive. He worked on the project "as if it was his", a quality that is held by few.



We look forward to our next project as we know Artistic Kitchen Creations will take care of us.

We couldn't have been happier with Sam and Dave Oertel when they remodeled our entire kitchen a few years ago. Sam's creativity and problem solving skills enabled her to come up with a unique and beautiful layout that works for our family and that designers from other companies never even considered. Her design saved us so much money by maximizing our kitchen space so we wouldn't have to knock down any walls. Sam worked incredibly hard to ensure that we got exactly what we wanted throughout every step of the process. She made herself readily available and returned calls instantly. Dave's craftsmanship was equally impressive. His ability to install the cabinets seamlessly was amazing. We live in an old house with crooked walls and ceilings, and Dave was still able to install the crown moulding and cabinets flawlessly. Working with this husband and wife team made communication effective and easy. We highly recommend Artistic Kitchen Creations!

My kitchen was renovated January 2008. I couldn't be happier! The work, scheudle and everything went as planned. A job well done from start to finish!

Artistic Kitchen Creations is fantastic! It has been 5 years since they installed our kitchen and we are still raving about the service and quality craftsmanship. The entire process, from the managment of the project to the hard work and dedication of the construction team was second to none. They have made it difficult for other contractors in any field since they have set the bar so high.

We found Sam and Dave's work to be as carefully done as if they had been working on their own home. Dave always made sure that things were done right. He went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Both Sam and Dave were a joy to work with! We just visited their new showroom; it is beautiful.

Sam and Dave remodelled our 1974 rambler kitchen and family room in 2004. With Sam's excellent planning and Dave's meticulous work, the project turned out beautifully! One of our favorite things was the project calendar that Sam created, so we knew when each phase of the project would be worked on and completed - and Dave and the subcontractors always held to that calendar within a couple days. We found the quality of the work to be excellent, and we knew that Dave would attend to every detail with the greatest care. Sam was always available for consultation, and kept everything on track. We had the freedom to be as involved as we wanted to, and felt the remodel experience was very positive! Thanks, Sam and Dave, for creating such a wonderful kitchen and family room space for us!

My husband and I hired Sam and David to remodel our inefficient, small 1920's kitchen last summer. Our old house provided challenge after challenge and yet the entire project was finished beautifully, on time and on budget. David and his subcontractors were always there when promised and always available to discuss the smallest item. David and Sam are the way to go if you'd a professional, personable remodeling company. I dream everyday of having them back to work on other parts of this old house!

About 8 years ago my husband and I contracted Sam and Dave to help us create a new kitchen. My husband has worked in construction for 25 years and was very impressed with the work and professionalism that they both brought to our project.

Sam walked me through the planning and helped me pick out the features that would make my kitchen the one I had dreamed of having. Each day I would come home to find Dave working away making progress bringing the kitchen we had planned to life. My home is a 70's split and so all the rooms flow into one another, except for the kitchen you would never have known there was construction going on in my home. Dave was so meticulous in keeping the worksite clean, I never felt like my house was a mess.

My kitchen is the 'heart' of my home. I still receive compliments on its beauty and how well it fits into the house from everyone who enters my home.

We live in a townhome in Eden Prairie. Our galley kitchen was inefficient, boring with cheap original materials and needed a complete renovation. Sam Oertel presented us with numerous great ideas to maximize space with innovation and style. After approving of the design scheme, Dave presented us with not only a contract, but a complete consruction schedule that itemized activities to the day. Dave not only held to that schedule but his electrical and plumbing sub-contractors were also on-time as well. Throughout the tear-down, floor tiling, under-counter lighting, cabinet and countertop installation period, Dave was on-time and on achedule. Not only was he thoroughly professional in his work, he swept, mopped up and minimized our inconvenience of not having a working kitchen. The end result was beyond our greatest expectations and our kitchen, the most important room in our home, is a daily joy. We got more than we expected and we enjoy our home like never before!. Sure, you can go to a "big-box" retail store, pick a design presented by an unqualified clerk and then have the work done by the first guy on their "recommended list" of contractors and maybe save a few bucks for a kitchen you didn't really want in the first place. Or you can go to Artistic Kitchen Creations. meet with Sam and Dave, and end with a dream kitchen, on time and within your budget. That choice is yours, but we're glad we made ours and went with "Team Oertel"!

I had never contracted for a remodel before so I was really afraid of the process. Sam made me feel SO at home! I felt like I was in control but with a really knowledgeable expert friend in my corner. She took me through all the details, options, design ideas, colors and all the rest of the process. Change and decisions aren’t really in my comfort zone but with help all the way along we got it all planned and ordered.



Once demolition of my old kitchen and dining room started I was amazed every day by the skill and efficiency with which Dave took out all the old stuff and installed the brand new kitchen Sam and I had planned! I had never seen anyone so careful with my house and open to solving the little things that appeared behind the walls. He even swept up every night before he left for the night! (!!!!) I remember seeing him use 2 levels on all the cabinet installs to make sure that they were perfectly level. To this day I can set a marble on my counter and it doesn’t roll!



When a horrible ice storm prevented him from getting to our house one day, he asked if it would work for us if he came on Saturday to keep the project on schedule. And it was all done in the time predicted and is SO beautiful!



I have nothing but praise for this business and have recommended them to my friends whenever possible. And they have loved working with Sam and Dave too!

I hired Artistic Kitchen Creations to remodel my kitchen. Before I was done, I ended up having them remodel my entire house. I have worked in the construction industry for 25 years and this company and the installer they used (Stud Finders Contracting) are among some of the best remodeling/construction companies I have ever encountered. I always felt they were very fair with cost/pricing issues and they met the written schedule they gave me at the beginning of the project without fail. The design suggestions their designers gave me were great. They came up with some very creative ideas to make my house look great and function very well. The attention to detail with the installation work was exceptional. They were very easy to work with at every step in the process and I always felt very confident having them on my project. A friend recommended this company to me and I now recommend this company to all of my friends. I can't say enough positive things about this company!

About 10 years ago we had the build portion of this company do a basement remodel and I can't tell you enough how well run this company is and how on time they are. They run this company with a calendar system that no one else has and have been doing this for many years. I wish we had know about them before we had all the heartache with other contractors! Now we have done a new kitchen with them and it is so wonderful to have it done and the quality is fantastic compared to what's out there. Keep up the good work Artistic Kitchen Creations! Thank You E. P.

Artistic Kitchen Creations is amazing! I walked into the showroom and was in awe at the quality and design. Not only did the showroom display kitchens, but there was also a living room, laundry room, and even a '50s diner! And their displays are from contemporary to Asian themed, giving a broad range of ideas. Sam is so inspired and makes every step of the way an easy one. I hired Sam and Dave to do a kitchen for me a few years ago and I am still impressed each time I walk in! Sam planned the design, installation, even plumbing and electrical. They made everything so easy, it was amazing! David helped to take care of the actual building and his workmanship and attention to quality is unsurpassed. If I ever had to move I would not hesitate to hire them again; in fact, I would recommend no one else but Artistic Kitchen Creations!
