"After reading all the excellent reviews on No Cowboys, we chose Garth from Groove Kitchens to completely refit our kitchen. (And we are so pleased we did). Throughout the project Garth was reliable, professional, friendly, meticulous and paid very close attention to all our needs. Garth organised everything, including the tradespeople, nothing was too much trouble and we found we could relax knowing that Garth had everything sorted. From outset to completion it all went smoothly. Our finished kitchen looks amazing, is now very functional and we enjoy cooking in the new space Garth created. We highly recommend Garth."

"Thanks Garth for all the work you did with the kitchen for the rental property. You are a good listener, professional, friendly and offered advice when needed. Thanks also for co-ordinating all the trades especially as there was a tight time-line to get the old kitchen dismantled and the new installed in the time the tenants were away.
As I am not based in Auckland you stepped up and did a few extras to keep the project on track which was very much appreciated.
The tenant and myself are very happy with the result."

"We were flioded in January and needed a new kitchen. We choose Garth after reading all the glowing reviews on No Cowboys and can only reiterate how good he is. He is a one man band and you wont get computerised drawings but you will get a kitchen which is as good or better than any of the major kitchen companies. He is a perfectionist and attention to detail almost over the top. The builders in our home also commented on what a great job he had done. The price was very competitive without all the overheads a big company has, and you will not be disappointed with the quality finish."

"Garth was a pleasure to work with. He was very professional and ensured every detail was correct when obtaining requirements which meant all items were delivered perfectly first time. Garth worked well to advised timeframes and engaged with other trades people to ensure the project remained on track. Garth provided a reception desk, fixed and floating shelving units and a basin unit. Thanks so much Garth, I have had many people asking me where I got these fabulous units and I have passed on your details!"

"I can highly recommend Groove Kitchens and Garth. After my house was flooded in January, my whole kitchen (and house) was gutted and rebuilt. I met with Garth to plan the new kitchen and this was a really easy process. I chose everything from samples in Garth's workshop and it went very smoothly. Garth was always available for advice on appliances, ideas and innovations, etc, and the installation of the new kitchen was seamless. I'm absolutely thrilled with the results and recommend Garth to anyone planning a kitchen refurb or replacement."

From the very first meeting where he sat down with us and discussed the options and suggested solutions, to the provided plans that showed everything in meticulous detail to the production and installation of the cabinets, we always felt that we deal with a person that takes great pride in what he's doing. And rightfully so. The outcome is perfect, exactly what we wanted (without knowing at the start of the journey) and within budget and time. On top of it he is also a very nice person and communication with me and the other builders on site was faultless."

"When I decided to update my kitchen, I went to several kitchen companies, one of whom even wanted to charge $200 for a design without even coming to see my house. Fortunately for us, I contacted this website and engaged Garth to do the job. What I like about Garth is there is no middle-man to deal with, he does a fantastic job, always keeps appointments. He is very precise with his measurements with the results that it all comes together easily when installed. His work is of a high standard and he has good quality contacts for other supplies required. He also offers good advice on all aspects of the project. I highly recommend him"

"When deciding on a cabinet maker to help us with our garage, laundry and kitchenette I looked up the website and saw the great reviews on Garth. When I called Garth he came around listened to what I needed, asked questions to ensure he had a good understanding and provided suggestions. The finished product is first class. The cabinets were done quickly even though we were coming up to Christmas and he was very reasonably priced. He always arrived on time, let me know when he was on his way and was a real pleasure to work with. He even looked out for our dog and fed him treats for us when he was working there. His attention to detail is fantastic and we will continue to use Garth in the future. It you are looking for someone who is trustworthy, reliable and great at what he does Garth is your person."
