Excellent job, highly recommend, we would definitely use Abernathy Finish Masters again. We bought our home a year ago and the kitchen cabinets were in excellent condition, but they were dark and we wanted white. This made it a major decision to have them refinished, since we were not fixing anything, just wished they were a different color. We couldn’t be happier. The cabinet finish is lacquer, not paint; the cabinets are perfect. Everything on the website is true, all the pictures are really from Abernathy’s shop in Fort Myers, which I recommend checking out in person, and all the photos on line of the process are exactly what my kitchen looked like during the process. All the employees involved were professional; each took his/her time to ensure everything was done perfectly.

ABERNATHY FINISH MASTER is the definition for a TOP RATED QUALITY CONTRACTOR! Having spent over 40 years on the GC side of contracting, I cannot praise this company and their employees highly enough. Professionalism, communication, scheduling, punctuality, productive use of time on the site, quality workmanship - all at a fair and reasonable price point. That is what we received throughout the entire process. The knowledge and expertise of their industry - combined with the employees pride in their work - made the remodel of our kitchen cabinets and master bathroom vanity and cabinets exceed even our expectations! Their entire team was such a pleasure to work with, and we feel like we gained some new friends along the way. Thank you so much!!!

The job went as well as it could from the quote to the finish. Ric was very knowledgeable and their estimate was the lowest and ended up being the contract amount. The quality of the work was excellent and the crew was very nice and professional. They were no delays and the job was finished sooner than I thought it would be done.

Perfectly! As stated above, the new hutch is all that we loved about the original one and more! Also, they are a wonderful company with which to work. After meeting with them a couple of times in Florida, we continued to communicate throughout construction, even as we had returned to the Mid-West. The new hutch was completed and delivered on time.

The estimate was quickly arrived at, and the work scheduled.  The doors and drawers were removed and brought back to the shop for refinishing.  Many were in poor shape, with peeling varnish, and uneven staining.  A technician came to the house and worked on the fixed panels and the areas between the doors and drawers, filling in holes, and spraying them with varnish. Two weeks later everything was reistalled.  The workers were very professional, and cleaned up everything.  The cabinets look like new!  We are very pleased with the work.  My one complaint is that on occasions appointments were broken at the last minute, causing some us some inconvenience. This was minor compared to the finished result, and was due to the technician over-committing to us and other customers, I am sure.  I have recommended them to my neighbors, one of which plans to have them do similar kitchen work.
Response from Abernathy Finish Master
"Thank you for your detailed review of our business! We are glad you had a professional and pleasant experience with us. We do apologize for any appointment issues you experienced and we will in the future be making sure this is a non issue for our customers. Thank you for reccommending us and we look forward to new referrals! Abernathy Finish Master"

Made a few phone calls, emailed a few photos of original hope chest condition and asked for an estimate. Company sent out a rep to view hope chest as the email photos were not detailed enough for them to provide an estimate. Estimate was provided then I called a few times to setup a time for pickup and for the work to be done. I didn't hear back for about a month then Company called me to see when I wanted the hope chest picked up etc. I was hesitant (since I thought they forgot about me or not interested in doing the job) but I really wanted the hope chest restored back to its original condition and I couldn't locate another refinisher in the area so I went with Abernathy. Pickup and delivery of finished hope chest was as scheduled and the end result was superb. The refinished hope chest came out beautiful.....it's a showpiece now with high gloss. I was very pleased with the quality of their work.
It would have been a better experience only if I heard back from them immediately and was told that they were busy and that they couldn't schedule my job for another month.
Response from Abernathy Finish Master
"We are so glad you are pleased with the end result! We apologize for the long wait after we provided the estimate. We are a growing company thanks to our loyal customers and great reviews. We have recently addressed our scheduling issues, and hope your next experience with us is a little more smooth. Thank you for the positive feedback and don't forget to refer your friends."

A table leg on an antique table was completely broken from the table. The repair was well done and the price reasonable. The repair is barely noticable.

Customer service was great. Vern and Joe were especially helpful in making sure that I was satisfied with the end result. The quality of the cabinet rejuvenation is excellent. The painted surface is much easier to maintain than the original wood finish.

I joined Angie's List to find someone to help me with these cabinets. Jeff left in January and could not correct a few problem areas. He didn't have time. A huge issue came up that last day. As the painters tape was removed the outer finish came off. Jeff then mentioned he had originally used a "bad" finish and had redone the doors but the bases had already gone to the contractor ( Eternity Cabinets) to be installed and had not been corrected. He would not correct them at that time because he was too busy! I asked the contractor to get it fixed and he refused. My contract was with Eternity who would do nothing but the finish work was done by Abernathy who also would do nothing. I called another cabinet company in to assess the situation and they tell me that the entire finish on the cabinets are not adhered properly and I need to start all over! What a mess I am in. This was done in the kitchen as well as guest bathroom.

They came and did an estimate of the work to repaint our breakfast table and chairs (and two expansion leaves) and refinish the table top. We then approved the revised stain color and they finished the work and returned the table promptly and set it up. All work was done in a professional manner and with quality materials. We are very happy with the results. Price above includes pickup and delivery.
