DAN THOMPSON

Owner/Designer

For 35 years, I’ve designed and overseen the completion of over 5,500 kitchen and bath projects. I’ve mastered what it takes to guide clients through the remodeling process. I focus on listening carefully to clients, working side-by-side to design your perfect kitchen. “Form follows function” is my guiding principle, but I always make sure your kitchen or bath looks stunning.

With this experience, I’ve built the best processes needed to get the job done right. I’ve developed strong relationships with our cabinet makers which makes all the difference when getting things done quickly.  DDK has also used the same talented installation crew for 40 years—they’re that good! Long established partnerships like this help ensure that our projects are completed on time and on budget.

My strength is seeing design possibilities when others do not. Let's talk about your home and see how we can make something great together"
