AlliKristé creates some of the most elegant and functional kitchens found across the state of Florida—using custom and hand crafted cabinetry of conspicuous charm and uncompromising quality. To achieve this, in the current Florida market of unsurpassed growth in building and remodeling homes, the challenge is two-fold; design expertise and project management. To meet this challenge, one should look at this remarkable company as two separate but integral parts of a whole.
 First, the designers at AlliKristé work with the very finest cabinetmakers in the country; companies who have hundreds of years of experience in handcrafting cabinetry such as Wm Oh’s, Draper DBS, and Grabill. AlliKristé is also proud to be one the area’s exclusive dealers of Subzero and Wolf appliances, leaders in the appliance industry. Today, homes are more than triple the average size of homes in 1965, and much more “lived in” with the advent of home theater, home offices/libraries and lush oversized gourmet kitchens. Fine cabinetry is used throughout these homes with magnificence in design and incredible finishes whether echoing the old world farmhouse of a Tuscan village or glamorous enough for a South Beach Miami experience. AlliKristé’s designer steep themselves in the details that are true to these environments and work with their fine cabinet manufacturers to express the cutting edge of what is available and desirable today.
Equally necessary in realizing one’s dreams of a perfect new home or remodeling job are the Project Managers. These trained professionals are located at Allikriste’s Operations Center, where on-going projects throughout the state of Florida are managed. This additional support system makes it possible for AlliKristé to be West Florida’s only custom cabinetry company who can truly meet the demands of today’s building market, where on-time delivery and quality installation, the first time, are mandatory. “With our project planning and tracking systems, and a 20,000 sq. ft. climate-controlled warehouse, we can plan, stage and install your project in a way no other high-end kitchen and bath design company can.” states Joe Houlton, C.E.O. “At AlliKristé, we incorporate captivating design with brilliant functionality to provide customers with fine cabinetry that is a pleasure to use and an investment that will not be outdated 5 or 25 years from now.”
 AlliKristé Fine Cabinetry and Design began ten years ago with the vision of founder, partner, and lead designer Bob Ostrowski. The company came under new ownership creating a design force headed by Ostrowski coupled with the vast experience in running a “Fortune 500” style company with new owners, Joe Houlton and brother, John, who both have both received Master Degrees in Business, while John is also degreed in Mechanical Engineering.
Houlton and his dedicated team, who now number almost 50 associates, take on all manner of architectural cabinetry design projects – restorations, renovations, new single-family home, construction, and are particularly focused on multi-dwelling residential developments for many of the finest builders in our area.
A love of design meshes perfectly with an unbending commitment to a superior service level which enhances the finished product, and has attracted the attention-and the business-of the area’s high-end homeowners, builders and designers. AlliKristé Fine Cabinetry and Design has a history of exceeding customer’s expectations. Enduring style, lifelong durability, and quality in craftsmanship, value in what you get for what you actually need, and most importantly, the business skills necessary to do the job and do it right. Every detail and consideration that anyone should have is already pre-thought and prepared for in this state of the art run business.
“When you work with AlliKristé, we will assign a Design Specialist to your specific job. The Design Specialist will manage and monitor all aspects of your project and provide timely updates regarding the status of the installation. Because we have a direct relationship with our cabinetry manufacturers, we can stage components to insure on time, quality installation. Our installers are trained not only in custom cabinet installation, but also in customer service, to provide added attention insuring a seamless installation.” adds Mr. Houlton.
