The company says its design team plans each kitchen and oversees it from start to finish with its own installers and tradespeople, and it says it has been in business 30 years. It holds 5 stars from 29 Google ratings and 5.0 from 83 ratings on Houzz. A recent customer hired Bob for a large kitchen and laundry room renovation and said Bob stayed on the timeframe discussed at the very start. A 2026 customer said Bob Blanco handled the design, the layout and a detailed bill of materials for the suppliers, and that the project was done on time and on budget. On the bath side, a recent customer said the company built their vanity and had the countertop installed, and credited Courtney with following the building and installation of the cabinets. A recent customer who first remodeled with the company more than 20 years ago said they had just completed a remodel and update. A 2025 customer said Bob personally oversaw their kitchen from planning and design to installation, and worked with their builder, plumber and electrician on the larger renovation around it. A 2025 customer whose Subzero needed replacing said Bob ordered the correct pieces to fit the new refrigerator. A 2023 customer, an architect building a kitchen for their own home in Greenwich, said Bob Blanco's projected delivery timelines proved accurate. A 2021 customer said owner Bob Blanco designed their 1929 kitchen and later helped after a minor flood that meant replacing a cabinet and taking off and putting back the granite countertop. In a 2014 Houzz review, a customer described a complete new kitchen with a wall removed, a support beam installed and a window enlarged, and named Jim Cummings and his team. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0650482, as active, held by Shore and Country Kitchens. **Strengths:** - Kitchen design and layout — a recent customer credited Bob Blanco with design and supplier specs - On-time, on-budget project — a recent customer said the kitchen finished on time and budget - Trade coordination — a 2025 customer said Bob worked with their builder and plumber - A custom vanity — a recent customer said the company built their bathroom vanity ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 5 stars from 29 Google ratings and 5.0 from 83 Houzz ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Shore%20%26%20Country%20Kitchens&query_place_id=ChIJ5R-ZJm0Q6IkRvMMH1vYggek) — “Google: 5★ from 29 ratings” - [Houzz](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/kitchen-and-bath-designers/shore-and-country-kitchens-pfvwus-pf~788908588) — “Houzz: 5.0★ from 83 ratings” - The company says it has been in business 30 years and that its design team oversees each project from start to finish _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://www.shoreandcountrykitchens.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Our expert kitchen design team will create a plan for your dream kitchen, and oversee the project from star…” - [Official Website](https://www.shoreandcountrykitchens.com) — “Self-reported 30 years in business” - A recent customer said Bob stayed on the timeframe discussed at the start of a large kitchen and laundry room renovation _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2xRNE0xSlJjMFpNUXpSMVlrWk9jbVZDU1dkNlRIYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xe98120f6d607c3bc!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOlQ4M1JRc0ZMQzR1YkZOcmVCSWd6THc%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ We recently hired Bob for a large kitchen and laundry room renovation and we could not be happier with the results.
