About Us

Duncan's Creative Kitchens - Your Family's Dream Space

For nearly 40 years, Duncan’s Creative Kitchens has transformed homes in Bradenton, Florida, and surrounding areas.

But our legacy began in 1962 as the kitchen department of Duncan Hardware in Bedford, Indiana, founded by J.C. Duncan, Sr.  In 1973, J.C.’s son, Bill, independently established Duncan’s Custom Kitchens. After relocating to Florida in 1984 and gaining further experience, Bill launched Duncan’s Creative Kitchens in Bradenton in 1987. This commitment to craftsmanship and client satisfaction defines our family business.

The Duncan Legacy Continues

Scott Duncan, Bill’s son, officially joined the company in 1993, bringing a fresh perspective rooted in a lifelong passion for design—he even “helped” install his first kitchen in second grade! Realizing his true calling as a designer rather than an installer, Scott graduated from Indiana University in 1992 and earned his Interior Design license from the State of Florida in 1998 (# ID0004131). Upon Bill’s retirement in 2000, Scott proudly became the third generation to lead Duncan’s Creative Kitchens. His dedication extends beyond our studio; Scott actively served on the executive committee of the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) from 1995 to 2008, contributing to industry excellence.
