Cabinets by Design LLC

When I first met with Peggy, she took a lot of time listening to me and helping me to choose the right cabinet and counter top. She provided my husband and I an initial design. We had several questions and within a few minutes she created another design that was exactly what we were looking for. She took the time to listen to our questions and concerns and was very understanding and patient with us. If you are looking for top quality cabinets and an extremely experienced professional, Peggy and Cabinets by Design is definitely the place to go!

I came to Cabinets By Design LLC through my contractor for our kitchen remodel. He offered 3 providers, and I contacted 2. Of both companies, I can say they seemed to be nearly equal in services and costs however what sold me on CBD was Peggy's first visit to my home. The other company had a nice salesperson too, but I felt very comfortable with Peggy’s personality and sincerity. I use to do a lot of interior design work, and have worked with a lot of contractors and representatives. I’ve gained a sense of a vendor’s ability and competence through the 18 years I designed. My sense about Peggy’s trustworthiness proved correct. I’m happy to recommend CBD and Peggy. The final product is exactly as expected. Little normal glitches were attended to immediately and Peggy was very communicative throughout the project. All in all, our cabinet, hardware and countertop selection was a very positive experience. PS. If you like dogs, you’ll love little CoCo, her pup. She’s as pleasant as Peggy is!

Peggy is so professional and detailed . . . we had a custom job that required very detailed measuring and everything came together just perfectly! The cabinets are beautiful and I can't imagine having anyone else do work for us but Cabinets by Design in the future

Peggy has been nothing short of wonderful to work with on my kitchen remodel. She agreed to work with me even though I wanted to build my own cabinets. Her only stipulation was that we would need to do it as she had time - which I was, and am, perfectly happy to oblige. From my end I tried to give her time to work, and always give her multiple days/a week notice before I wanted to meet about something. Regardless, I always felt like her number-one customer. She is also super reasonable. Peggy’s initial design for my kitchen was like nothing I had seen before, or considered myself. We ended up tweaking the island width by two inches, but other than that what is being implemented is her initial design. She also helped me with choosing cabinet finishes, granite, and the paint color. I am still in progress, so backsplash and cabinet hardware choices are to come. I have no pictures yet but will post when I am done...however I am super pleased with everything Peggy has helped me with, and continues to help me with.

Peggy was so helpful and easy to work with. She made up two designs for my master bathroom and walked me through the steps of remodeling. She guided me on cabinet selection and helped me coordinate them with my tile, countertops and wall color. My contractor found her design plans very helpful too. I would use her again and recommend her to my friends.

Peggy designed our basement for us which included everything from floor plans, kitchen layouts, bathroom layouts, and cabinetry. She was a consummate profession in all way, shapes and forms, not to mention she does an amazing job. One of her best attributes is her ability to listen to exactly what you are looking for and then design something to fit best to those desires and in a timely fashion. I haven't even mentioned the cabinet quality of our products, which exceeded our expectations. I would recommend Peggy to anyone out there looking for an interior designer.

We first met and talked with Peggy, owner of Cabinets by Design, LLC at the Home Show. She had done the cabinets in the entire house. We knew after that first introduction that we wanted to have her bid out our cabinets on a new construction house we were building. Peggy was full of great suggestions and had ways to reduce our cost on items that maybe wouldn't get the most use due to our house design. We found ourselves comparing everything else to her design and expertise. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets and Peggy's design and would easily use her again. Peggy knows her craft and if anything it's worth stopping in to she what she's able to do for you.

We couldn't be ANY happier with all of the cabinets in our home. Peggy was amazing to work with and went above and beyond to make sure we were completely satisfied with everything. We would highly recommend using Cabinets by Design.

Peg listened to what I had in mind for my Kitchen and Master Bath remodel and found the perfect style and color for my cabinetry. Small details she suggested for the interior of the cabinets makes my Kitchen a dream to use! I was having a very hard time deciding on the tile wall behind my new range hood, and she had a great suggestion that I used and I love it. My Master Bath and Laundry remodel is a joy to wake up to each morning. Budget was on spot.

After four years of searching for a kitchen designer, I knew Peggy was who I wanted to work with. This was the right call. We worked hours over many month with change after change until the plan was set. Her ideas were unique, always designing cabinets filling the "new" need I presented resulting in designs that were beyond my dreams. She was clear in explaining the details of products I was choosing, pointing out which would be the kindest to the budget yet not sacrificing quality. Off site meetings to view back splashes/grout, counter tops, sinks/fixtures & flooring were of great benefit in selecting compatible material and at the same time be personal choices. Peggy spent hours looking for cost effective lighting etc. that completed the look we were striving for. There were no surprises. Peggy inspected materials and had them delivered on time. Costs were up front and more reasonable than other companies. Peggy was always on time (never being upset when I was not), did not rush our appointments and gently guided me when I was in doubt. Through this process she was always, always a delight to be with as well as to do business with. A more knowledgeable, talented and genuine designer would be hard to find. Peggy will be designing a bath for me in the near future.

We have worked with Peggy on two kitchen remodel projects and also a dining room cabinet project. I wouldn't work with anyone else. Her product knowledge is amazing but more importantly she knows you have to live in the space so thinks through practical applications and solutions to best fit your needs. She also has great taste in design and her showroom allows you to try out various samples in your home setting. Also at the job site, she will meet with your contractor on several occasions to ensure they are all on the same page. I would highly recommend her for any cabinet project.

Peggy is very easy to work with, she has a creative mindset that is above all others. Peggy got to know our personalities and delivered a product that was absolutely perfect. From the time we started working with Peggy, she had quick turnaround times along with unique ideas you don't find often. Peggy is detail oriented and didn't miss a thing. She takes great notes and delivers on time. We have again hired Peggy for another job already. From the time she measures the area of construction and delivers a first drawing or draft of ideas is beyond impressive.

I have been working with Peggy for over 15 years and she is always a favorite for my clients to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable, diligent and just wonderful to collaborate with. She lets me customize to my clients wishes and will suggest smart, practical solutions when we need it. Not only is she a dependable colleague, but an amazing friend. I will continue to send clients to her for her expertise and professionalism, and will always appreciate her advice and wisdom. - Jules Middleton

When I met Peggy, the owner, I gave her an impossible job to install a closet system with multiple details and make it look like a sophisticated department store closet. Here was the challenge.......the closet space was small. She came up with a fantastic design, on budget and beautiful with crown molding and all. Peggy is simply the best. She is patient, professional and extremely sociable. Already have projects lined up for her. Thanks Peggy.

We had a great experience working with Peggy Triggs at Cabinets by Design! She worked with us to create a custom range hood for her clients and the process was easy and pleasant. Peggy is very talented and we would most certainly recommend her to other clients in Iowa looking for tasteful and well thought-out designs. Thanks Peggy and Cabinets by Design! -Amy & The Raw Urth Team

There are many options for you when it comes to redesigning your kitchen. But for me, there was only one sure choice to start out with and it was to choose Cabinets by Design, owned and operated by Peggy Triggs. Peggy has decades of professional experience as a designer, and it shows in her work. As an avid cook, I entertain large family and friend groups regularly. My kitchen was cramped and inefficient, lacking in storage and a hopeless traffic pattern. Peggy fixed all that -- beautifully and economically reasonably. The materials and work arrived and were completely in a timely manner! My new kitchen has elevated my "joy of cooking" with its new design, beautiful cabinets and countertop. The storage is now abundant and well planned. I highly recommend you choose Peggy and Cabinets by Design for your kitchen and built-in remodeling or new construction design!

Peggy is the greatest. She is a good listener, attention to detail, provides honest suggestions for improvement or options and is and was always available for questions, answers and if not available at the moment returned calls quickly. He attention for detail and her honesty are great. She gave you a honest date for delivery. Our project turned out better then we ever dreamed and everyone who has come to our house have the same comment "Your kitchen is like something you see in a magazine." Thanks Peggy your the greatest. We recommend Peggy and Cabinets by Design to everyone. We love our new kitchen and over joyed we used Peggy and Cabinets by Design.

Peggy with Cabinets by Design designed 3 bathrooms, a second kitchen and a bar for our personal lake home. She helped us in every aspect of the project from design to the final phase of selecting our hardware. She worked within our allotted budget and time constraint and we are extremely happy with the final result. Peggy is very detailed oriented and is truly concerned with making sure that we were happy. I would highly recommend Cabinets by Design for any of you cabinet needs, whether it be remodel or new construction.

Over the years I have taken numerous projects to Peggy and she has always came through for me. Peggy offers her suggestions and makes the ideas work within the very important budget. As a builder it is nice to have a teammate like Peggy bringing fresh ideas to the clients and making Ironcrest look good.

I thoroughly enjoyed the process of my remodel with Cabinets by Design! Peggy listened to my likes and dislikes and incorporated my eclectic taste into the design. She also paid attention to the style of the rest of my house to make sure the kitchen flowed with the other rooms. The layout she designed helped create plentiful storage. Peggy is detail oriented and helped me find a contractor who also paid attention to details. She helped me stay within my budget while still giving me the elements I wanted! My kitchen is beautiful and functional!!

Our contractor recommended Peggy out of all the cabinet people he used. I could not be happier. The cabinets are perfect - more beautiful and functional than any I have seen. We have a carpenter friend who complimented us on the quality. I love the fact that I have pan drawers close to the stove, utensil drawers on either side, and a baking area with lots of room for bakeware and helpers (my grandson). The design is so efficient. Peggy gave us several options and we were able to pick what fit our budget. The products arrived on time and everything fit beautifully. The drawers open and close without hitting or being blocked by nearby cabinets. There is plenty of walkspace and room to open and close appliance doors. She placed a counter across from the refrigerator door so I can remove things from the shelves without making several trips and opening the door multiple times. She went the extra mile and helped me pick coordinating flooring, paint, tile, etc. An example of her willingness to help was when I could not get the granite company to give me an appointment because of my working hours and their limited times. Peggy recommended another granite place (on the contractor's list) and helped me pick granite that I love. She went in the evening and looked at granite options at another place for me. My husband loves the crown molding she selected and the window seat. He thinks that is what makes the difference in our look. Peggy has lots of examples and good ideas about what fits together and looks best. She also recommended other professionals to help me complete the look, i.e. window treatments, cushions. She is very easy to work with because of her flexible hours and friendly manner. She has a good reputation with all of the subcontractors. They all told me I had a great designer in Peggy.

Peggy was with us from day 1, and this was a big project. She presented a conceptual layout which reflected all of the input we provided. My recollection is that we provided her with a wish list many pages long, with a stack of magazine articles in tow. Having said that, we nonetheless went thru several design iterations, and she never lost the enthusiasm for the project without regard to the various changes. She never lost focus on meeting our desires. During construction - she is the gold standard for attentive service. We had several QA issues with the one of the cabinets and one of the countertops, and these were significant issues, and she delivered. All issues were resolved immediately, to our satisfaction. Full disclosure: I make my living managing electrical utility projects, big projects. To that, I can assure you that Peggy has demonstrated the ability to effectively deal with contractors -- to the owner's satisfaction. I recommend her to anyone reading this.

I was very impressed with Peggy at Cabinets by Design. I had an idea of what I wanted and she took my ideas and came up with a much more beautiful plan. She has a good artistic eye. I also really appreciated the way she was respectful of my budget. I got much more than I thought I would be able to afford. I thought I was going to have to go to Home Depot, that is where I started. I got more help from Peggy, a much better design, and better cabinets for only a little bit more money.

Peggy was an absolute pleasure to work with! She understood my vision for my master bath remodel and made it come to life just as I had envisioned. She gave me her advice when I was in doubt of myself and the finished product is perfect. Highly recommend Cabinets by Design!

I have worked with Peggy on many projects and am always amazed at her vast knowledge of cabinets and the industry itself. Her attention to detail and construction detailing put my mind at ease when having her help my clients with their projects and also working with the contractor on the job. She is very professional and fun to work with. She truly has a passion for cabinetry, loves her job and it shows. I would recommend her for any of your cabinetry needs.

Peggy helped my husband and me with a design for a kitchen remodel. She was able to incorporate popular stylistic elements that fit with the style of our house. I especially appreciated her attention to detail. For example, she designed my silverware drawer to be near my dishwasher for ease of use. She also accounted for a range of refrigerator heights when ordering our cabinet to account for the fact that we might need a new fridge in the future. She even came to our home after the cabinets were installed to guide me as I put my kitchen back together. As we use our kitchen, we appreciate the thoughtful approach she took with our design. We honestly couldn't be happier with our finished product. I highly recommend Peggy Triggs for your kitchen design project.

I have worked with Peggy on many projects and she has always done an outstanding job. Over my years as a contractor I have interacted with many cabinet designers from many companies and there are two things that have always stood out with Peggy: 1) her ability to listen to what her customers want and produce options based on that (many other designers I've worked with seem to listen but then come up with something completely off base), and 2) her ability to come up with very creative ideas for both standard and non-standard spaces. Peggy always produces a complete and accurate plan, is very honest in her opinions and stands behind her work and products if issues do arise - that is why she is working on my personal home right now. Peggy and Cabinets By Design are my first recommendation whenever asked.

We are in the process of building a custom home and consulted with Peggy Triggs on the design and layout of our kitchen and master bath. She is amazingly creative! During our discussions, we were continually impressed with her attention to details -- ranging from the design elements to functionality and practicality. Her layout specs allowed us to truly get a sense of what our dream home will look like upon completion.

Peggy was delightful to work with. She helped shop for the tile as well as designed the overall layout and worked closely with our contractor. Everything was completed exactly as promised and the workmanship of the cabinetry ordered by Peggy was superb.

Peggy Triggs is a consummate professional. She listened to my ideas, she advised me, she knew her products and worked harmoniously with her vendors. She met all of my expectations. The result--I have the beautifully designed and functional kitchen and dining room that I wanted down to the last detail.

Oakwood has worked with and followed Peggy Triggs for over 15+ years and value her creative, thoughtful and passionate work style. Peggy is an outside the box designer of some of the most beautiful kitchens and bathrooms in central Iowa. We regard Peggy as an integral part of our team.
