Shaping the Heart of your Home

Kitchens Designed Around the Heart of the Home

The kitchen is where daily life naturally gathers — morning coffee, family meals, quiet conversations, busy weeknights, and the moments that make a house feel like home. Cabinet IQ helps homeowners in Downtown Milwaukee remodel kitchens with thoughtful design guidance, quality cabinetry, coordinated countertops, and a clear process shaped around how the space should look, feel, and live.

A successful kitchen remodel is not just about choosing beautiful finishes. It is about making the right decisions in the right order, with the right support. From layout planning and cabinetry selection to countertop materials, storage needs, finish coordination, and installation, Cabinet IQ helps each part of the project feel more connected and less overwhelming.

Through design consultation, showroom collaboration, and organized remodeling guidance, we help homeowners create kitchens that feel refined, comfortable, and naturally suited to the way they live. Whether you are reworking an outdated layout, planning a more functional kitchen, or preparing for a complete kitchen renovation in Downtown Milwaukee, Cabinet IQ gives you a more confident way to move from ideas to installation.

It was great working with Lisa Jones at Cabinet IQ. She has years of experience in kitchen design and it shows. She is professional and really listens. It was a pleasure to discuss my project with her at every single meeting. I highly recommend Lisa and Dan at Cabinet IQ!

​I recently had the pleasure of visiting the new Cabinet IQ showroom, and I was blown away—not just by the stunning displays, but by the incredible ownership behind the business. ​I attended a Galentine’s Day event hosted at the showroom, which was such a thoughtful way to highlight and support other local businesses. It’s rare to find a company that opens its doors to the community like this, and it speaks volumes about the owners' integrity and commitment to the local area.

Dan and his team are very professional and the the least pushy sales team I've met. Highly innovative concepts and dream kitchens await when you walk through the door. If you can dream it, I'm pretty sure Dan can make it happen.

I had the opportunity to visit the showroom and everything is so beautiful! It's obvious that they consider both function and aesthetic in their kitchen design. And I love that it is owned by a local family. The owner, Dan is very knowledgeable, approachable, and easy to talk to.

We had an outstanding experience working with Dan Guelder at Cabinet IQ on our laundry room remodel. From start to finish, Dan was professional, detail-oriented, and incredibly easy to work with. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, and offered recommendations so that our space was more functional and visually appealing than we had originally imagined. The quality of the workmanship and attention to detail truly stood out. Everything was completed on time, and the end result exceeded our expectations. If you’re considering a remodeling project, I highly recommend working with Dan and the team at Cabinet IQ.

I needed a space for a fundraising event, and Dan at Cabinet IQ so graciously said yes. The space was perfect for what I was looking for—open, beautiful, and honestly breathtaking. My guests were blown away and quickly fell in love with it. Walking through the showroom is such a great experience—it’s open, inspiring, and filled with stunning kitchen displays that make it easy to picture ideas for your own home. It feels very different from big box stores or online shopping—you really get to see the quality and designs up close. I highly recommend stopping in—you won’t be disappointed!

The American Heart Association fund raising event at the Cabinet IQ in Waukesha on April 2, 2026 was over the top! This venue is a beautiful place to host this type of event because the sample kitchen models with large islands were perfect from which a sommelier could speak to a group of 25 & to serve wine & appetizers. It is a gem of a setting and Dan Gueldner, the proprietor is warm & hospitable & provided support to ensure the event was a success! As an example, l do not like white wine and that is what was served in the first portion of the wine tasting. So, he went into his own wine cooler at the store & opened a great bottle of red for those of us who were waiting for the reds to be poured. A very gracious offering that no one would expect but very much appreciated! He and his show room provided a classy, sophisticated, high-end experience where the donors felt like they were being treated like royalty. Thanks, Dan!

Cabinet IQ is THE #1 place to go for your remodel and design needs! I cannot sing enough praise upon Dan & Lisa. They are thorough, thoughtful, and were infinitely patient while we worked through many iterations of our kitchen design. They truly deliver on the quality of the product they pitch and on more than one occasion made a stop at our house (over the weekend no less) to drop off material and ensure the project was proceeding as expected. Their communication and customer service is excellent and I highly recommend their services. Thank you, Dan, Lisa, and your team at Cabinet IQ for making this enormous project feel streamlined and far less stressful than it could have been! The kitchen is not 100% done in these photos but you can still see what beautiful work they do.

We are so happy we went with Dan & Cabinet IQ for our new pantry. His showroom was beautiful and allowed us to see exactly what we would be getting. He was extremely communicative and helpful in answering any questions we had along the way. Our new pantry is perfect - we could not be happier! We would absolutely use Dan & Cabinet IQ again for future projects!

Attended the showroom grand opening last week. Beautiful space that gave my wife and I an abundance of ideas for our upcoming (and endless) renovations. Had great conversations with both Dan and Lisa. Both bring a wealth of experience and love for what they do. We hope to work with them in the future. Don’t look any further, this is your first stop for your kitchen and cabinet needs!
