Kitchens 2000 is a small, modern, privately owned company based in West Auckland . Established almost 15 years ago, we specialise in the design, manufacture and installation of a range of kitchens to suit all budgets.
Working directly with house owners, kitchen designers and architects, our skilled team of craftsmen ensure that each kitchen is built to the highest quality.
Every kitchen is designed individually to suit each customer's tastes. Materials used range from meltica to two pot laquer finish on cabinets and laminate to granite for bench tops.
All of our kitchens are constructed using the latest and best quality hardware and fittings to ensure long life.
We offer a prompt, free measure up and quotation and provide patterns to show the plan of the kitchen, followed by manufacture and hassle free installation by our own in-house installers.
