John G. Yates – Expert Kitchen Designer

CKD (Certified Kitchen Designer), CBD (Certified Bathroom Designer), MS (Clinical Psychology)

Designing Kitchens and Baths Since 1979

Since 1979, John has been designing and managing remodeling projects from kitchens and baths to additions and multiple room spaces for clients throughout New England.

Recognized Nationally for his Kitchen and Bath Designs

As the owner of Maine Kitchen Design of Yarmouth, Maine for ten years, he was published many times for his works both locally and nationally, including:

• A kitchen cover story for Better Homes and Gardens Kitchen & Bath Ideas
• A featured section representing the state of Maine in the book, Leading Kitchen & Bath Designers.

Extensive Kitchen and Bathroom Design Experience

Previously, John worked as Lead Kitchen Designer in Western Massachusetts for sixteen years for a luxury home builder/remodeler. During that time John designed and completed more than eighty major additions which included kitchens, baths and other spaces. He developed an extensive understanding of residential structure and building methods, both old and new.

Also, as the son of an artist combined with a background in psychology, John is more than equipped with the right design touch for the most discerning client.

“Listen well, and meet the needs and expectations of every client with a creative and personal approach, whatever their project entails.”
