EMEE Kitchens & Baths specializes in total renovation, making it a favorite one-stop shop.


EMEE Kitchens & Baths is a full-service renovation resource, says owner Ed Sugawa. “Our company is complete. We handle everything.” 

EMEE provides flooring, painting, electrical, plumbing, counters, cabinetry, appliances, lighting and anything else your kitchen and bathroom require. It supplies six high-quality cabinetry manufacturers, including Canyon Creek, which boasts a lifetime warranty, and DeWils Custom Cabinetry, a line known for its careful process of choosing dealers. EMEE also makes cabinets in ply, particleboard and metal.

Purchasing a fixture suits some, but EMEE thinks of the big picture and specializes in transformations. Clients trust that collaborating with Sugawa will improve their home. He recommends going into the process with clear ideas and a budget-minded priorities list.

“It’s important to say, ‘This is No. 1, this is No. 2, this is No. 3,’ and wherever the money runs out, you know that’s where you want to be. We’re facing that a lot right now,” he explains.

Budget is a priority for EMEE, but buying cheap isn’t the way to go. “We stress quality and durability; an average kitchen that we do should last 15 to 25 years,” says Sugawa. Instead of replacing parts every few years, customers save money and time in the long run.

He continues, “one of the things I ask all of our customers to do is, ‘Tell me your vision of the
kitchen. What do you see as being important? What do you like the most about your kitchen?’” This kind of communication is EMEE’s secret ingredient.  ­­
