We have a great attitude. We are passionate about doing kitchens right. We have a positive "can do" philosophy. Who wants to work with someone who doesn’t care as much as you do. Don’t settle for just anyone. You want better ideas. You want better results. We want to earn your business and always believe we can.

John Ryan has 30 years of experience in kitchen design and remodeling in the Cincinnati area. However, all experience is not equal. The best experience for a kitchen designer involves innovative problem solving from initial design through the final installation — not just putting room dimensions in a computer to make a layout that fits.

We put our experience to work for you every step of the way. After working out the design ideas that work best for you, we oversee the ordering of all materials as the first step to an organized installation process. The construction and installation are carried out by our own company employees along with selected trade contractors. Each job is supervised closely by John—visiting each job daily to answer questions and deal with any issues as they come up.

We purchase major components like cabinetry directly from the factory, allowing us to be very competitive with pricing from anyone—including home centers and cabinet outlets. We plan thorough, complete jobs that include the detail and accessories that each customer wants. We listen to each customer to make sure the project we design is on target with style, function and budget. We use innovative ideas and suggestions to achieve design goals.

We stand behind our work.

The best professionals usually support the industry they believe in. We belong to the kitchen remodeling industry’s first and most professional trade association — NKBA, the National Kitchen and Bath Association. We adhere to the code of ethics and we support the goal of a more professional industry.

We belong to the Greater Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce and support the goal of a healthy and growing business community.

We also belong to the Cincinnati Better Business Bureau

John has been involved in NKBA activities for many years. He served as an officer in the Southern Ohio / Kentucky chapter for 6 years, including holding the offices of Secretary, Vice President and President. John also served as a National Director of NKBA for 5 years.

John has been in an advisory position with regional and national cabinet companies and appliance manufacturers. John has designed showrooms for local appliance and plumbing distributors, test kitchens for Proctor and Gamble and done work for many friends and family of local industry members — people who know who to suggest.

We are endorsed by Marilyn Harris, Cincinnati’s best known cooking author and food consultant and host of the “Cooking with Marilyn” show on 55WKRC.

Building Value is part of Work Resource Center, an Easter Seals agency. Building Value takes donations of reusable building materials and displays and sells them at their Gilbert Avenue location. They sell to homeowners and landlords as well as anyone looking to purchase recycled building materials at reduced prices. The best sellers at Building Value are used kitchen cabinets/counters. We send recyclable materials that our customers don’t want to Building Value. And, of course, our customers get the tax deduction.   www.BuildingValue-Cincy.org
