T he kitchen is the most important room in your home because it is the centre of your family’s day-to-day living. You prepare meals for your family in your kitchen and probably even eat in your kitchen. Your family and guests often gather in the kitchen to socialize, eat, drink and cook together. A time will come when you are ready to renovate your kitchen for personal satisfaction or to make life easier for your family, and sometime in the future the family home will be sold, either on retirement or to move to another area. A new kitchen not only provides you with a better lifestyle, it could be one of the best investments you will ever make. A modern, well designed kitchen will increase the value of your home by much more than the costs involved– andperhapsmakeanunwanted property a desirable purchase for a prospective buyer.

If you are looking for a local kitchen company with a proven track record, Hats Off Kitchens has been in business since 2005 and has always managed to attract and keep a solid customer base because of their professionalism, quality work and competitive pricing.

Hats off kitchens are a cousin company to Gillmer kitchens in Brookvale. Gillmer kitchens were founded by four brothers – John, Merv, Ron and George, with their father Eleaser, and have been a family owned business since its establishment in 1955. Over the years there have been more than 30 family members involved in the company. Jim Gillmer started working with his family in 1981 and founded Hats off kitchens when he moved back to the Central Coast to be closer to his family in 2005. His Aunty Terry was the director of Gillmer kitchens at the time and in 2009 Terry retired and passed Gillmer kitchens onto Jim. Both businesses are run from our head office in Charmhaven on the Central Coast and are owned and managed by Jim Gillmer and Jenna Hartman (maiden name Gillmer).Hats off kitchens pride themselves on never having to charge exorbitant rates for
