Where Your Dream Kitchen Is a Family Affair

When a company has been in business for 70 years, it’s a pretty safe bet that they know how to treat their customers right. That’s what keeps discerning clientele returning to Showcase Kitchens – and recommending the upscale kitchen-and-bath center to everyone they know.

“Ninety percent of our business comes from customer referrals,” says John Starck Jr., who runs the family-owned business with his father, John Sr., and his brother, Anthony. Providing customers with professional, timely service, along with exceptional products and bold designs, is the hallmark of the company, which has installed more than 2,000 kitchens and baths on the North Shore of Long Island, the Hamptons and New York City. Showcase Kitchens carries only the highest quality cabinetry and fixtures, with brands such as Quality, Premier, Signature and SieMatic. The company also represents La Cornue, a custom-made cooking range that has been handcrafted in France for almost a century.

“Our long-term success is a result of the exceptional service and products we offer, coupled with the talented staff we employ,” says John Sr., noting that Showcase Kitchens will soon have four locations. Whether serving homeowners, contractors, designers or architects, each staff member is dedicated to providing innovative designs, quality craftsmanship and exacting standards.

Known for their customization, New York Shower Door’s handiwork can be seen in a number of the homes and offices of celebrities, including Lindsay Lohan and the late Luciano Pavarotti. You’ll also find their work at Trump Palace and the Ritz Carlton in South Beach.

The company offers finishes in chrome, brass, nickel and copper — even 14-karat gold. Custom plating for all the unique faucetry on the market today and custom-matched powder coating in designer colors are options as well.

Specialty-pattern glass, cast glass, water white (crystal glass) and French chip are only a few of the patterns available. And, as a finishing touch, there are many assorted handles and hardware to accentuate the glass.

With so many choices to explore, New York Shower’s friendly and knowledgeable staff will guided customers through the showroom and assist with any questions they may have.

Creative Tile and Stone Design

March 2008 marks the grand opening of the new Artsaics showroom, where artisans will exhibit their new custom-design concepts, including mosaic rugs, hand-painted scenes and tile products in an art gallery-type atmosphere. Also to debut is Artsaics’ metal and glass, as well as their new Naturali collection based on natural elements — an entirely different view of what this creative company can do in tile and stone design.

Keeping Current with Bath Trends

Blackman Plumbing is transforming Long Island baths into elegant home spas by incorporating the latest trends in bath design. The new look is clean and contemporary, and reflects a growing influence here of New York City styles. Among the innovations are body sprays, hand sprays, ceiling shower heads and showers as spacious as five feet square. LED lighting adds a rainbow of color and a dose of mood-changing Chromatherapy. For extra mood enhancement, add an iPod station or connect the bath speakers to the house sound system. (Some homeowners, it should be said, still opt for the solid look of traditional bath designs).

Blackman, which has been catering to discerning clients since 1921, can now design the entire bath environment with decorative finish bronze, stone and/or glass tile. These sumptuous tiles will be featured in a new 5,000-sqare-foot store opening this year in Hicksville. Right now you can visit showrooms in Manhattan, Flushing, Queens Village, Lynbrook, Mineola, Wantagh, Hicksville, Huntington, Medford, Bohemia and Southampton. A number feature lifestyle room settings, where customers can experience Blackman luxury first hand. A new 3,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art showroom featuring working shower systems, tubs and waterfall walls recently opened on Route 25A in Rocky Point.
