On The Cutting Edge

Modern technology has transformed every room in today’s homes, and the kitchen – now the showpiece of most households, especially with popular open floorplans – is no exception. For example, handles and knobs have gone by the wayside as doors and drawers are now touch-to-open, soft-closing, lift-up or even automated, seamlessly melding form and function for today’s contemporary consumer.

Distinctive Kitchens & Baths in Boca Raton, operated by the father-son team of Artie and Adam Canter, prioritizes being the authority on all these trends and more, constantly attending industry shows around the country and the globe to bring its customers new cutting-edge products from the finest resources in the world.

In fact, according to President Adam Canter, the company even pushes its suppliers and manufacturers to go the extra mile when it comes to innovation.

“We’ve asked our manufacturers to adapt and change with the times in order to produce new and relevant products quickly, to meet our customers’ needs, with additional features that they may not find elsewhere,” he says.

South Florida is a very fashion-forward market, and Canter’s customers, including small custom home builders, large tract home/production home builders, multifamily developers and retail consumers, want the latest and greatest products available, he says. And that’s exactly what Distinctive Kitchens & Baths offers.

Thanks to this forward-thinking mindset, the 26-year-old company continues to grow by leaps and bounds annually. Staffed by a 36-person team of experienced kitchen and bath designers, Distinctive Kitchens & Baths was, over the last couple years, recognized as the 23rd fastest-growing company in South Florida by the South Florida Business Journal; the 55th largest privately owned company in South Florida by the South Florida Business Journal; and a second-year recipient of the Inc. 5000 award for America’s Fastest-Growing Companies, ranked 2,788th.

“Our ability to change and adapt to the times has led to our continued growth and success,” Canter says.

Never one to rest on its laurels, Distinctive Kitchens & Baths also has a location in the Naples/Fort Myers area, and Canter says that the company is continually exploring new opportunities and strategic ways to increase its market share.

“We are looking at expanding our footprint to best serve our customers but still keep the personal service and attention that they expect from us,” he says. O
