This company is the complete opposite of today's trend of 'do the job and move on' They stand behind every aspect of every kitchen they install and provide truly amazing after sales service even 9 years after the initial work was completed. Every member of the team I have dealt with is highly professional and very accommodating, and they always do what they say they will do - whether it is returning a call, offering advice or sending out a spare part, nothing is too much trouble for them. Would happily recommend them to anyone looking for old fashioned excellent work by obviously skilled tradesmen.

We have used Rods kitchens for multiple kitchens within our family. Each time we are so pleased with the excellent and personal service, the thorough communication throughout the process and the overall quality of the finished product. This is a professional and friendly, family owned company, who guide you thoughtfully through the process of planning a kitchen, from beginning to end.

Good old fashion service and workmanship to the highest degree . We had our kitchen installed 10 years ago by Rod's Kitchen's and couldn't be happier. We had a pre 10 year warranty check performed recently. Rod's staff came out to go over the kitchen within days of phoning them. Nothing was too much effort. Thanks so much to Rod and the team. You are a team of true professionals.

We engaged Rods Kitchens to renovate an aging kitchen based on recommendations from a couple of friends, and we are extremely pleased with the process and result. Their highly experienced office staff took us through a structured design and materials selection process, while their tradesmen explained practical implications of design decisions and helped us work towards the final design and finish. Communication throughout was excellent and the work was completed to a high standard. The tradies they partner with were also excellent. We would recommend Rods Kitchens to our friends.

We are absolutely delighted with our new kitchen. We visited quite a number of kitchen manufacturers, but from the outset, Rod's Kitchens stood out. The sales process helped us to feel confident that we were dealing with a skilled, knowledgeable company who would deliver the kitchen WE wanted, without high pressure sales techniques. We felt that Rod's would support us capably with the many decisions to be made along the way and with minimal disruption to our lives. This proved to be the case, with the install process occurring very promptly and smoothly, with excellent tradesmanship and capable trades coordination overseen by Rod's. Even the few small glitches that you would expect to arise with a project of this size were ironed out promptly and professionally. We would not hesitate to recommend Rod's Kitchens to any of our friends.

We have had 2 kitchens installed and both experiences have been excellent. But you do need to prepare yourself to make many decisions about a kitchen. Handles, height of cupboards, all sizes of drawers, colours, material of cupboards, kickboard heights, drawer rail types, bench top, and more and more, including dates, times, preparation of empty room and of course price. Rod's Kitchens helped us with all these decisions through their designer, showroom staff, install manager and the installer on the day. All very efficient and professional.

My kitchen was completed several weeks ago and I love it more each day. The workmanship is beautiful and the design is perfect for my needs. My experience with Rod's Kitchen has been wonderful from the very beginning. The staff were easy to deal with and so helpful. The options available were endless and reasonably priced. My kitchen came in at my budget and I am delighted. I can't speak highly enough of this company.Thankyou so much.

Rod gave us some great ideas for the initial design and went out of his way to guide us on what was our first kitchen remodeling. Scott, the measure-up draftsman, was very meticulous and we were impressed with his attention to detail. The only issue really was the back and forth we had with Rod on getting a curved island bench top - so we ended up going elsewhere for the bench tops and are completely happy with the combined result.

Excellent service and workmanship on our kitchen and wardrobes we couldn't be happier all the people at rods bend over backwards to ensure you are pleased with the end product. Would highly recommend them to all. Also their are no high pressure salespeople only highly trained cabinet makers to discuss and help you with the layout of your kitchen .

I used Rods Kitchens - found them to be very very good throughout the entire process and couldn't have been happier with the end result. However - I picked the most expensive coating for the cupboards and drawers on the assurance that it would save me money in the long term as it was the most durable and lasted forever etc. 10 years on the coating is now just coming of the timber. So I rang Rods - the person I spoke to told me it was an issue with the glue - nothing could be done. I would have to dismantle the effected areas myself and take down to thier location - then be charged for the areas to be recoated. Have a very big feeling I was mislead originally. Our builder stood behind Rods and he too now is embarrassed at what has happened. Very dissappointing.

To One and All at Rod’s KitchensWe recently totally renovated our townhouse and a new kitchen was a major part of the renovation.After two not so pleasant experiences a good friend recommended Rod’s Kitchens.This turned out to be the best phone call we made during the whole 3months of renovations.Our experience started with a visit from Robert. Robert arrived on time and used his experience as a cabinet maker and designer to create a great plan for out new kitchen and offered advice on how to remove a large unsightly builders pantry. Robert is not a slick salesman like so many other kitchen people just an honest person and we were both immediately at ease with his pleasant mannerNext was our visit to the showroom where we met the three lovely showroom ladies, Selina, Alicia and Aleisha,who also put us both totally at ease and we felt like we had known them for years. The selection of componentry, colours, etc. was an easy process aided by the vast knowledge of all things kitchen by the wonderful “Girls” in the showroom.Next on the list was the “Check Measure” and Ernie, who also arrived on time, spent about 2 hours meticulously checking every detail and suggested a few minor changes that really enhanced the look of our new kitchen. Ernie was quite a character and we really enjoyed his company.Joe, plumber and electrician all arrived, and again no time, and removed our old kitchen. Joe also delivered our new kitchen some weeks later and he unloaded al the parts like they were cartons of fragile eggs. A very caring person and so proud of what he does with Rod’s KitchensAt Roberts recommendation we employed Steve West (Builder) to remove the unsightly old “Builders Pantry” and redesign the the bulk head. A few weeks later Joe delivered the kitchen and big tall Mick arrived to complete the install, along with the electrician and plumber. Everyone arrived on time to complete their part of the install. Mick is one of the most meticulous trades people we have ever met, his attention to detail was amazing and it shows in the finished product, a great kitchen. our lovely tiler arrived a few days later to install the splash backs. Rene was in his late seventies and had been a master tiler most of his life and still enjoyed small jobs like our kitchen splash backs. His work and attention to detail is lengendary.If there was one stand out part of our experience with Rods Kitchens it would be the fact that there were numerous emails and phone calls informing us of each step and process, even informing us of the plumber, electrician and tilers details. We spoke to many different people at Rods Kitchens over the 4 or 5 weeks and without exception all were polite, enthusiastic and proud to work with Rods Kitchens. The fact that many of these people have worked for Rod for 20, 25 and even 30 years is a testament to the wonderful culture his company encourages.Once again many thanks to everyone at Rods Kitchens for our wonderful new kitchen and also the special gift basket of goodies that arrived by courier after our kitchen was completed.We wish you all many more years of successKindest RegardsRod and Cathy Griffiths

If you like your handles not put on inline and left to sort out sub trade issues with not contact from Rod’s this is for you. I went for Rods to on the assumption it would be less stressful however after the bench top turn up cut incorrectly (quickly acknowledged by stonemason) it was up to us to sort and reschedule plumbers and electrician, and be stuck for another week without a kitchen. After all the hassle the panty you see as you walk into kitchen has the handle fitted 20mm out from being inline.

I have an awesome new kitchen thanks to Rod's Kitchens! It was an excellent experience from start to finish. All the trades were great - turned up when they were scheduled, worked professionally and cleaned up when they were finished. The finished product has a real wow factor. I would happily recommend Rod's Kitchens.

To Rod and his wonderful Team @ Rod's Kitchen.We had our kitchen renovated with Rod's Kitchen in November 2018. We were impressed with the whole team - the lovely ladies in the showrooms, the check measurer, the installation team who came and installed our wonderful kitchen (Including all the Tradies, Plumbers and Electricians) and the accounts team.Also a shout out to Rod (owner) who I had the pleasure of first meeting 28 years ago when he installed our first kitchen. We appreciated his time in giving me honest feedback for our new kitchen when he came to quote this time around.We found the whole team to be very helpful, friendly and very professional. We found the quality of the installation and products to be first class. We are absolutely thrilled with the way the whole process went and the end result.Trina and Dean Hartley

Words can’t describe how excited I am to say how much I love my new Rods Kitchen! From the Office Staff(the 2 Alisha’s) the design thanks Rod, the quality of the work from all the tradies was more than first class, not once was I let down, always on time, and friendly. I would like to thank Alisha for being so patient with me! I would definitely recommend Rods Kitchen, their dedication to perfection & experience is second to none.

Thankyou to all the team at Rod's Kitchens. After obtaining several quotes I chose Rod's to build my new kitchen. The staff listened to my needs whilst offering solid advice and support when needed. The staff went above and beyond to work within my requirements and help me have a positive, smooth, stress free experience - much appreciated. My new kitchen is everything I hoped it would be and I would not hesitate to recommend Rod's Kitchens.

I didn't realise good old fashioned customer service is still around. Well it is at Rods Kitchens. From the moment we floated the idea of an ourdoor kitchen the team were so enthusiastic to get involved with the project.I'm a self confessed perfectionist so Rods Kitchen attention to detail really appealed to me.They sources the best products and provided samples for us to help make our choices. I didn't realise how much detail goes into making a kitchen and the team ensured that they covered all the bases before manufacture.On the day of installation the guys were so happy and friendly they made me feel they were enjoying installing our outdoor kitchen.Well last night I cooked my first meal in the new kitchen and it was amazing to have everything at my finger tips with their excellant design.This is a family business so a big thank you to Rod, Corey and Tyler and the rest of the Rods Kitchen crew for a 10 out of 10 experience.I have included a before and after photo.

Cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Rods Kitchens. Great value and awesome service. From the first visit to quote, to the showroom ladies, to the last tradie, everyone was professional, friendly and helpful with great advice and exceptional customer service. We replaced our 29 year old relic with a clean sparkly new kitchen. Every time I go into my kitchen I just want to clap my hands in excitement. We will enjoy this kitchen for many years ahead. Thanks Rod and team and congratulations to a local business who is obviously here after almost 40 years due to your outstanding quality product and service.

Our experience with Rod’s kitchens has well and truly exceeded our expectations. It really was the most stress free renovation we have ever done. From our very first contact with the showroom, through design, pre-installation, installation and final finishing, the staff and tradies went above and beyond to help us. Their quality of workmanship and attention to detail has given us a kitchen we are truly proud of. We cannot recommend them highly enough – they are just the most amazing team! Thank you all once again - Bruce and Joy Faunt

We built our house nearly 2 years ago, on the day the building was to commence the cabinet maker my builder has used for 30 years pulled the pin and said he could not do the job, we had spent many days with the cabinet maker designing and selecting colours and materials for all 3 bathrooms, laundry and large kitchen, it was a big job. We were thrown into a panic! a plumbing friend of mine recommended Rod's kitchens.I phoned Rod and although he had plenty of work on he saw we were desperate and kindly assured us he would slot us in on time so as not to hold up the building progress. Rod and his team were fantastic, everything they promised they delivered-with very short notice.The job was done on time and we were very happy with the entire process, quality and exceptional service.Last week, two years later we had a small issue with the kitchen sink dropping (the stone mason fitted this) I phoned Rod's kitchen's expecting them to say this is 2 years later and not care. Just the opposite! Rod's girls had someone out straight away and fixed the issue without question.We can highly recommend this Company to anyone. Rod and his team genuinely care.Paul & Karen Hill

I found Rod's Kitchens through Radio commercials and rang them for 1 of 2 quotes. Robert who came out to the house listened to what I was saying and was able to understand. He stood at the bench and drew the kitchen I had in my head. I was so impressed with his understanding that Rod's Kitchens were going to get the job. After the initial drawing experience through to the 3D pictures sent to my email, then the planning when the kitchen would be installed, the installation and the stone bench tops being templated and installed I was consulted for each step. I would recommend Rod's Kitchens to all as I have never been happier. This is my 3rd kitchen and the only one I am really happy with. Do yourself a favour and go to them and only them

We're very glad we chose Rod's Kitchens on a friend's recommendation. The whole experience was first rate, from the initial showroom visit where many helpful tips and ideas were offered, to the home quotation. Every facet was covered, the trades were professional, communication was always timely and overall, we are so pleased with the end result with our Hamptons style kitchen. Superb quality and finish. Thank you Rod and Team for a first rate experience, we'd have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Rod's.

From the very beginning it was all very professional and on the day of installation everybody, electrician, plumber, installers came at the correct time to keep everything on track, excellent pre-installation service and measure. Excellent quality workmanship. We are very pleased with the end result.

I first heard a Rod's Kitchen ad on the radio and when it was time to act I contacted them and it was such an easy process from start to finish. A quick response to my email, then Richard was there helping me with the design, and the resulting quote was very reasonable. A quick visit to the showroom so the lovely Alicia could guide me through the design and colour choices was fairly pain free (who knew there were so many questions to be answered?). A great deal was offered on the appliances I needed. Then the fitout was quick and fairly fuss free plus the plumber, electrician, plasterer were all very professional. All in all it turned out very well and my new kitchen is lovely. Thanks. Lisa

My widowed sister-in-law in Brisbane was needing a new kitchen and asked me to help organize from New Zealand as I am a retired builder. After reading reviews on line Rod's Kitchen stood out as the best. I then made contact with them.While the designer was at Luda's house I spoke to him on phone from New Zealand and he came up with some great ideas. I came over to Brisbane for the installation and all the tradies involved including office staff we amazing and the kitchen was first class. No complaints. Thank you so much Rod's Kitchen you have made one 74year old lady very very happy. Have already recommended.
