Eddie Hatfield
Eddie specializes in cabinet installation – from kitchens and bathrooms to media centers and libraries. He does more than physically install cabinets, fixtures and appliances. As Kitchen Etc.’s installer, he uses his advanced knowledge of technical components to manage projects from start to finish.
Eddie’s experience as a general contractor and finished carpenter gives Kitchens Etc. a different outlook on the project. With this background, he is able to foresee challenges and identify potential in spaces. His problem solving skills are particularly valuable on remodeling projects.
Words from our satisfied clients….
Do not shop elsewhere! Kitchens Etc. will exceed all your expectations and deliver a top quality, worry free experience. We ran into a multitude of problems with the renovation of our kitchen and bathrooms (cabinets had been purchased elsewhere and were on site). After months into the project we thought we were finally in a position to move forward; however, once again we were presented with what seemed to be insurmountable problems. We were at a loss and turned to Jennie and Eddie, the owners of Kitchens Etc. in Blue Mountain Beach, Florida. Jennie’s fabulous knowledge and Eddie’s incredible skills saved our project.Walking in to a half completed renovation is a nightmare! I was constantly worrying about how we were going to get our renovation completed. Jennie and Eddie came up with solutions that resulted in a beautiful kitchen and bathrooms. After 4 long days of Eddie working in our kitchen I knew the nightmare was over. Without Jennie Rowe and Eddie Hatfield we would have been lost. Their professionalism, compassion and guidance was outstanding. Looking back, I only wish Jennie and Eddie had been involved in our renovation from the very beginning. The expression “Penny wise and pound foolish” comes to mind. You get what you pay for and this couple is worth their weight in gold.
My husband says “you can have cheap or you can have good, but you can’t have both”. With Kitchens Etc. you get an outstanding experience and how do you put a price on that?
We are truly blessed to have such a talented company on the ‘Emerald Coast’.
Thank you Kitchens Etc. for the wonderful job you have done remodeling our kitchen and baths. We enjoy the new space you have created for us. Not only do we love the feel of our new surroundings, but we constantly get compliments from those who see it. We want to compliment you on the entire project. Your people were skillful and creative but Jennie’s management of the project from start to finish kept the transformation on time and within budget. Our experience has been a very positive one and will continue to call on you for additional prospects and recommend you to others.
If I were to do it all over again, I would definitely go back to Jennie Rowe for our cabinets. My company builds schools and as a result we purchase hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cabinets a year. The beautiful cabinets for our house met the strict requirements of cabinets we use in schools everyday.
Jennie, it is hard to express how Kaye and I feel about the Kitchen remodel you handled for us in Sandestin. From the design to the finished product, you were the greatest. As the owner of GrandShores Management Group, I am involved in hundreds of subcontractors; I can tell you that you at the very top of the list! We compared three different proposals, two from contractors we had known; boy, are we glad we chose your firm. Kaye loved the whole process and certainly appreciated the fact she could trust you and your employees to be in our home while we were away. We reappeared after the work was accomplished and like magic the house was dust free, we loved the selections from granite to faucets, and to beat it all, the drawers were so clean we could put our dishes right into the shelves. Thanks for a superb job and the pleasant work experience.
I have known Jennie and Eddie since 2006 when I was searching for someone to remodel my kitchen at our beach condo. Jennie was very skilled in redesigning a very small space to maximize the storage potential with great results. Couldn’t have been more pleased! After the remodel of two bathrooms and referrals to several friends in the same condo complex, all with great results, Kitchens Etc. was the likely choice (really a no brainer), when we recently purchased a home in the same area. A complete remodel is currently underway. I know the results will be awesome! What we love the most about these skilled professionals is the care they take in treating our project with the same attention they would in their own home. Nice, nice people too!
Kitchens Etc. was referred to me by a friend and my builder. Jenny Rowe asked me probing questions about type of function/layout, style (traditional, contemporary) and for the kitchen how many people might be cooking/visiting at one time. Jenny designed a layout solving a few tricky functional issues. The process flowed easily because of Jenny’s ability to communicate with me and keep the project moving in a timely manner. Kitchens Etc. also provided the cabinetry for all baths.
The truly amazing part was this was done long distance which included in person meetings, emails and phone conversations. Jenny coordinated all installation with the builder.Kitchens Etc. enabled this part of my new home construction to run smoothly.
