"We have used Ryan and Neal (Precision Cabinetry) twice now. the first time was 5 years ago when they did our modern kitchen. They were on a budget and the finished product is gorgeous (we think). We were able to get the details we wanted, like dovetailed birch drawers. Having had such a good experience, we used them again recently for our laundry room. They presented a number of finishes based on our requests, and we finally decided on gloss white. It came out amazing! They are easy to work with, clean and professional!"
"I wanted to restrain my kitchen cabinets and Idel Designs was recommended to me by my neighbor. They have excellent painters, they nail the exact shade of brown that I was looking for. Thank you Idel, now my kitchen looks great"
"We got the exterior of our house painted and I can’t even believe it’s the same house. Very happy with the work done especially since it is a older home that needed a lot of TLC. Saul communicated with us constantly and even followed up with us after the job was done for touch ups we missed the first time. Great service!"
"Our kitchen remodel exceeded our expectations, providing us with a beautiful and highly efficient space for cooking and gathering. We're thrilled with the results, as the new design seamlessly integrates style and functionality."
"I hate being condescended to. Listen to what I want and then give suggestions on how I might be able to work that out in my kitchen. Don't just tell me it can't be done. I felt like I was wasting my time. I asked about a particular type of closet (not realizing it was part of a bigger cabinet...how would I know) and she told me to follow her (using her finger to me like a child) and said I couldn't have it because it was as part of a bigger piece. She could have just said that. I said if I can't make my kitchen more "usable" (less wasted space), WHY to with custom cabinets. I could just reface. The woman behind me who was waiting to ask her a question said. Listen, if you can't get what you want, I don't blame you for not spending the money. It's easy to reface. So, I called another company and, low and behold, I'm getting partial refacing and partial custom cabinets. He came and we discussed HOW I could get my carousel cabinet (uh - he suggested I go from a double to a single sink - easy peasy) AND, he came in at half the price your website suggested I might pay. It is really nice to be listened to...especially when it's MY money I'm spending."
"This painter is the best and most pro you can find for your money. He did the exterior of my house and part of the interior. great job Francisco! I am pleased with the outcome and the PRICE. i will be using him for future interior painting. This is the company you should hire. Thank you Francisco."
"As a General Contractor, finding subcontractors that are licensed, reliable and do what they say is difficult. You want them to leave a good impression on your job site. Geoff and his company, Adhesion Painting are one of those. They have the highest level of integrity, professionalism and besides that, do an excellent job everytime."

Kitchen Cabinet Refacing questions, answered by experts
DIY refacing is possible if you're skilled in precise measurements, cutting, and finishing, but hiring professionals ensures a seamless finish and durable results.
How much cheaper it is to replace your cabinet doors depends on your needs. If you’re looking to spruce up the look and feel of your kitchen, then you can make cosmetic adjustments to your existing doors, like installing new knobs or a fresh coat of paint. Cabinets can be some of the most costly parts of a kitchen remodel, but if there’s structural damage regarding your doors, then replacing them is your best option.
Yes, refacing old kitchen cabinets is doable as long as the cabinet boxes are still structurally sound. Refacing works best when the framework is in good condition, allowing you to update the doors, drawer fronts, and exterior surfaces without a full replacement.
Common materials used for cabinet refacing include laminate, wood veneers, and thermofoil. These offer varied aesthetic options and durability levels, depending on your budget.
Cabinet refacing typically takes 2 to 5 days to complete. The exact duration depends on several factors, including the size of the kitchen or bathroom, the level of customization, and the complexity of the updates. For example, uniquely designed doors and drawer fronts may take longer to manufacture and install. While a professional can often complete the job within this timeframe, a DIY refacing project may take longer.
