Kitchen Encounters

Cabinetry for the most discriminating taste. First opened in 1997, Kitchen Encounters was established by Steve Grant. Steve was a carpenter in high school and soon after a residential home builder. He has been working in the trade and real-estate in one form or another for more than 40 years. The idea for Kitchen Encounters came out of need. Steve was renovating a historical lake front home in Wolfeboro and when it came time to purchase the kitchen and bath cabinetry, there were not many options in the area. Kitchen Encounters was originally located in Gilford where they leased a small store front. Quickly realizing they were out growing the space, Steve then built a new showroom in Laconia, NH which stands as the company's current location. Soon after the company was incorporated, his wife Connie joined the two man team. In the following years Kitchen Encounters began adding staff while remaining committed to keeping the business small in order to provide a personalized customer experience.
