Main Line Kitchen Design

I am a kitchen and bath contractor and have worked with many design company's through the years. I met Paul about 15 or so years ago and he has been my exclusive go to guy ever since. Excellent designer, honest and always willing to help me solve some of the most difficult jobs. Also a major plus is the discounted pricing passed on to my customers makes for an easier sell. Of course Paul's products are top quality. More...

Not only does Paul and his team provide a wealth of information on their blog, they are even willing to offer advice to customers outside of their service area.

I have to give a special thank you to Chris for reviewing my kitchen design and providing extremely useful insights. Chris saw that, while the design my KD created was perfectly fine, it could be optimized with a few small but highly impactful changes. I just finalized and ordered my cabinets last week and could not be happier with the final layout.

It’s rare these days for a company to be so generous with their time. I really appreciate it! If you are in their service area, choose Main Line!! More...

I worked with Ed at Main Line Kitchens to design our kitchen during a very stressful whole house renovation / expansion. To say he worked with me is an understatement. Ed might just have earned his counselor credentials as he guided me through some uncertainties, even calling me late one night from home after receiving a distressed email about a decision I was making. He ultimately helped steer me towards a cabinet line that fit my desired look, features, timeline, and budget and helped me see the pros and cons of the choices made along the way. He never pressured me and was able to accommodate a seemingly impossible timeline. He even came out to measure twice without complaint when my contractors weren't ready the first time -- not at all his fault -- but he was gracious and kind and took it in stride. Ed was personable and easy to work with and I never felt like a number in his book.

When we received our cabinets I wasn't happy with a couple doors (normal issues you would anticipate with a large order and a perfectionist on the receiving end) Ed worked with the vendor and had them replaced and shipped immediately to me and the job wasn't delayed. The vendor even called direct to ensure I was happy with the replacements. It is clear MLK has a strong reputation with their suppliers. Ed was quick with recommendations for other vendors when I needed materials fast for flooring, countertops, etc. and all the other vendors knew and respected Main Line and Ed.

Our new kitchen is truly the center of our home and we have Ed to thank for bringing it all together. I would recommend Ed and MLK to anyone in need of kitchen design services and cabinetry. In fact, I already have.

I did my due diligence and shopped around and was very happy with the competitive pricing that came along with the white glove service and hand holding I received through this process. The expertise from the team at Main Line can't be matched. If you have a chance to work with Ed, know you will be working with a great person who genuinely loves what he does, and in the end, that passion will show through in your kitchen design. More...

We bought our house (originally built in 1990) and knew that someday we would need to redo the kitchen. This was the one chance we had to make the kitchen of our dreams. You might be scared of picking a kitchen designer from the web, but you shouldn't if you choose Main Line Kitchen Design. Paul came through in re-designing the space and the kitchen into a multifunctional dream space (dining, casual hang out and gourmet kitchen all in one). I can not say how much I valued Paul his knowledge and experience (to design layout, picking materials, and finding a contractor). Our kitchen saw the removal of a load-bearing wall, raise a floor, closed one door and made one window a door, replaced other windows and moved the location of every appliance (including migrating from an electric to gas stove). Everyone who has come into our space has commented how wonderful the space is and we have many wonderful parties and family gatherings now that we have space we can all enjoy. After almost two years, I am still as thrilled with my space as I was when it was done. Thanks Paul. More...

We truly enjoyed working with Paul. He provided us us with two wonderful designs and then worked with us to make our kitchen unique to our lifestyle

Paul was great to work with. He helped guide us through several ideas for our space. The design we finally landed on is an amazing use of our space. We went from a dark smallish kitchen with a mud room next to it to a modern bright kitchen with a comfortable bathroom tucked out of view. We are so happy with the new kitchen. My wife and I both love to cook, and the design flows well and gives us room to work together or separate. Sometimes I stop when I enter the room and just smile. thank you Paul and Mainline Kitchens.

This review is long overdue and SO well worth writing. I came across Paul and Main Line Kitchen Design online while in the process of starting a full home renovation. We met Paul at his office, and the rest is history. He went WAYYYYYYY above and beyond for our home, helping us choose a new location for our kitchen and spending countless hours with us on the details. The result is simply outstanding. Paul cares so much about his work, and truly spent the time making sure every detail was right, and any issue rectified. A picture says a thousand words. Take a look. Thank you Main Line Kitchen Design!!! More...

I would choose Paul all over again!!Paul was a terrific partner and resource in the renovation of the kitchen/dining room space in our 1925 home. I was hesitant to take on a project of this size and scope: so many decisions, and I wanted to make sure I made the right ones. I was looking for someone who knew a lot more about kitchens and design than I did, and could provide guidance at all phases of the project. I met with several kitchen designers, and Main Line Kitchen Design was - hands down - the best. Paul's depth of knowledge was unparalleled, and extended well beyond cabinetry. For any given decision point, he was able to give me an immediate, clear summary of pros and cons to help me decide. He didn't try and upsell me; in fact, he helped me understand the key factors that could help us manage cost without sacrificing the end product. He never rushed me in my decision-making. Extremely adept with the design software, he made changes "live" during our meetings so that I could see the impact of various choices quickly. I also appreciated his candor. Some kitchen designers will say yes to just about anything. I didn't want a "yes" person. Paul was straightforward about what was important from a design, function, and cost perspective. If I had an idea that was pretty much a bad one (and I had a few!), he told me, and I was glad to have that feedback. I know I have a much better kitchen as a result. He also referred me to several contractors he has worked with over many years. The one we chose - Amberwood Builders - did a terrific job. Paul and the contractor worked seamlessly together, and I could not be happier with the end product. More...

I do love my new kitchen. His experience and knowledge showed in all aspects of planning and implementation. He was also able to deal with the anxiety that accompanied a major renovation.

My husband and I used Main Line Kitchen Design to renovate our kitchen, bathrooms and mudroom. It was a pleasure working with Paul McAlary from start to finish. The design process with Paul was fantastic. We had many other contractors give their suggestions on how they would renovate our kitchen, but Paul was the only one that suggested a different and more efficient design. Paul’s design maximized the space we had available and provided the best flow for our kitchen. He came to our house for many of the meetings we had so he could conceptualize every design detail. He incorporated the ideas that we wanted to include in our design while keeping our budget in mind. The cabinets and other materials that we purchased from Main Line Kitchen Design were fairly priced and had no hidden costs. Paul was dedicated and conscientious during the whole process including installation ensuring that we received our dream kitchen. Paul ultimately deigned us a beautiful custom kitchen that surpassed our expectations! We highly recommend Main Line Kitchen Design to anyone who is considering kitchen renovation. More...

I've had the pleasure of photographing at least a dozen of Main Line Kitchen's finished renovations and what I repeatedly hear from clients are what a great experience they had working towards their final design. In addition to happy clients, their work is a joy to capture. As they say, a photograph does not lie. More...

Paul, form Main Line Kitchen Design, could see the potential for a kitchen and dining room combination that no other designers could visualize. He helped us create an amazing space in our 1930's home on a limited budget, preserving the details of an older home that we love, and bringing us into the 21st century. His ideas were clear, bold and simple, resulting in a beautiful, light filled, work and entertainment area that is perfect for how we live. Thank you, Paul, for helping us update our kitchen and dining room by designing an open, efficient space that feels good, works brilliantly and looks great! More...

Okay, full disclosure first: I did not use this company because I live in Colorado and could not afford to fly a kitchen designer out here. However, if I lived ANYWHERE with a several-hour drive of this place I would use them in a second. Would not even get bids from anywhere else. I did EXHAUSTIVE research before doing our kitchen remodel, and much of the information and decisions I made were based on reading the blogs on this site, one in particular (a really long one) about cabinets. I also read lots about design on the site. The effort and time that was put into the blog posts and commenting on people's questions on the blog (and personally answering a couple of mine via email) seem to reflect very deep knowledge about kitchen design and remodeling, and also a deep caring that something is done right.
