Growing up in the family hardware and appliance business, Howard's Kitchen Studio owner Mark Kaplan has been involved in home improvement his entire life. He helped customers select the right appliances and plumbing choices while working in the business during high school and college. He also gained experience working with the contractors and understanding what products worked best for their jobs...and most importantly, learned the value of good customer relations. After college, Mark joined his father, Howard and mother Helen, using his business education to expand the company into kitchen remodeling. Over the years, as the kitchen remodeling business grew and grew, Mark opened a separate showroom just for kitchen remodeing - Howard's Kitchen Studio (named in honor of his father).
Today, Mark concentrates only on remodeling. He personally supervises every project to guarantee your complete satisfaction. Never one to be limited by the timeclock, Mark can always be reached by cell phone to answer any of your concerns.
Sandee Daye, CMKBD
The team of experienced designers is led by Sandee Daye, CMKBD. Sandee is one of only a few Ohio certified kitchen and bath designers to achieve the masters level; and one of only a couple hundred nationwide. Her recognition at this level was reached after years of study and experience. The masters' certification also required the winning of a national design award. Sandee won that award when the National Kitchen and Bath Association presented her the 2nd place for the 1998 national design competition. This nationally acclaimed competition recognizes the exceptional ability of certified kitchen designers to design award-winning kitchens, bathrooms and other spaces. She was judged by a panel of twelve distinguished judges. Last year, Sandee was asked to be on a judging panel, further recognizing her abilities and eye for functional and creative design.
