Falmouth Kitchen Korner has been drawing kitchens for upper-Cape houses since 1981, by the company's own account — 45 years of showroom work under president and designer Marianne Sansone, whose name turns up in almost every review anyone has written about the place. The firm sells custom, semi-custom and stock cabinetry out of its Worcester Court showroom and carries the job through installation and general carpentry. The praise is specific, and it is nearly always about the design. In a December 2024 Google review, a homeowner described a full gut renovation of a small kitchen that meant moving walls, relocating plumbing and upgrading the electrical panel to fit new appliances, and credited Sansone with working in a larger window along the way. A January 2025 reviewer said the team knew every facet of kitchen remodeling and recommended them without reservation. The older accounts run the same direction: a Houzz reviewer in October 2020 who had known Sansone for nearly twenty years said the layout of the kitchen she designed suited her needs exactly and the crew finished on time, and a home stager writing that same month described her planning and installing a kitchen and bath vanities on a Falmouth new build. Falmouth building permits from 2023 through 2025 back the scale — kitchen and bath alterations valued between $30,000 and $75,000. The newest written account is the one to weigh hardest. An October 2025 Google reviewer gave one star and said the finished design did not follow what they had discussed, the start was delayed, and the installation differed from the plan; when they raised it, they wrote, the company blamed them and the appliance sales team, walked off the job and never returned, and did not answer emails — including an offer to split the cost of a fix — leaving them to hire someone else to finish. Its BBB page points at the same soft spot from a different angle: the B- grade there is attributed specifically to failing to respond to one complaint on file, and the company is not BBB accredited. Google still averages 4.5 across 10 ratings, and the Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. This is a design-led shop, and what people describe buying is Sansone's layout and cabinetry work delivered through her own installers. If that's the job, ask to see the drawings and a written scope before any deposit, confirm who runs the site day to day, and — given the 2025 account — get the change-order and dispute process down on paper first.
“Marianne is the best kitchen designer on Cape Cod, and sells the top rated kitchen cabinets. She is a pleasure to work with, is professional and very knowledgable, I would highly recommmend her if you need a new kitchen or bathroom!”
“We just finished the second kitchen designed by Marianne at Kitchen Korners. She does a fabulous job. Her attention to detail is incredible. The job was completed on time and on budget.”
Very disappointing...did not design per our conversations with FKK, delayed start, and then found installation was not what we discussed. We tried to discuss fixing the issues, FKK blamed us, the appliance sales team, and eventually walked off the job and never returned. We sent multiple emails to mitigate, even agreed to split the cost to remedy the situation and had no response. Eventually hired someone else to fix and complete the work.
Marianne/Kitchen Korner did an excellent job. The team is very experienced in all facets of kitchen remodeling and construction. Would recommend without reservation.
I could not be happier with the well thought out design, layout & engineering for my smallish kitchen. We had to move walls , plumbing & upgrade electrical panel to accomodate my state of the art appliances. Marianne was able to work miracles getting me everything I asked for, including a larger window. Just amazing! She and her team did a full gut to finish renovation. Marianne’s energy and attention to detail is like no other. I strongly recommend Falmouth Kitchen Korner, Marianne Sansone and her experienced and friendly team for your kitchen remodel . Marianne is a long time MA Licensed Construction Supervisor with many years of experience delivering beautifully remodeled kitchens and baths on Cape Cod. My challenging kitchen project came in on time and on budget. And finding a phenomenal kitchen designer and licensed contractor all in one is a no brainer and certainly a “win-win” for me!
I have known Marianne Sansone for almost 20 years. She designed my kitchen when I built my house and it has been a joy every day to work in it. The layout was perfect and suited our needs exactly. Marianne is the epitome of professionalism. Not only is she a master of her industry, but she is also communicative, honest, realistic, and a genuinely nice person. Working with her was the easiest part of building the house, which was an adventure. In 2017 she helped me design another kitchen for a much smaller beach house. The design was critical to being able to maximize the space to be the most comfortable and efficient. Again, she did not disappoint. Her recommendations were spot on, as usual. The project was completed on time and her crew could not have been nicer or more accommodating. As an additional note, we interviewed a number of kitchen designers before chosing Marianne. None of them could hold a candle to her. Many were rude, dismissive, uninsightful and clearly did not have the depth of knowledge of this industry.
I recently worked with a client on their new build in Falmouth. We were fortunate enough to have Marianne and her colleagues at Kitchen Korner help with the planning, design and installation for the kitchen and bathroom vanities. Marianne's professionalism and true passion for her work shows through on every project she undertakes. She has a distinct ability to hear her clients and turn their needs and desires into a beautiful yet efficient and well-functioning kitchen. I know her kitchens will stand the test of time as she helped me with my own design nearly 10 years ago and I still love it! I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again and highly recommend her!
