Falmouth Kitchen Korner is a Falmouth kitchen and bath design firm led by president Marianne Sansone, whose Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active and verified against the state registry. The company's own website says it was founded in 1981; BuildZoom's permit-history profile instead describes it as over 29 years in business, so the two sources don't agree on exactly how long it's operated. The company's written history is thin — five reviews across 2020 to 2025 — but sharply divided. Three describe Marianne Sansone in glowing terms: a 2020 review from a client of nearly two decades called her the epitome of professionalism, and a 2024 review described her working out a complex remodel that required moving walls and plumbing and upgrading an electrical panel to accommodate new appliances. But the most recent review on file, from October 2025, describes something serious: a customer said the company designed and installed their kitchen differently from what had been discussed, delayed the start, and then, when problems came up, blamed the customer and the appliance sales team before walking off the job and never returning. That matches what BBB shows independently — the company carries a B- rating there specifically because it failed to respond to a complaint on file. For a kitchen remodel with Falmouth Kitchen Korner, the design work itself has a track record of real praise, including from long-time clients — but the most recent account on file describes a project that was abandoned mid-job with no resolution, and BBB's own grade reflects an unanswered complaint. Given how thin the written history is and how serious that recent account is, it's worth talking to recent references directly and getting a clear, written plan for what happens if the design or installation doesn't match expectations.
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!
