One of the reasons we like Cabinets Plus is their project model. They primarily hire versus subcontract, so schedules are well planned out and work is completed more quickly than when waiting for availability of subcontractors. Moreso, the quality of work is excellent due to the team being employed directly by Cabinets Plus and needing to meet their high standards. The team is very professional and treats your home as though their own.
Their sales model is also excellent, they have a full show room with many selections. They are able to offer a variety of price options; however, quality over price is their priority. Their sales team is strong in design, helping you to explore options you may not have thought of on your own.
We were given an approximate date of start which was right on the money as was the time work should be completed.
About a month after completion, we discovered a crack in a tile. We spoke to Kent and it was dealt with in a very timely matter.
While we did go over our budget slightly ( our doing from choosing certain material), the finished bathroom exceeded what we envisioned. We were given a digital mock up of the bathroom after Melissa designed the job, and we were able to revise or make changes easily.
This is the second time using Cabinets Plus( they assisted in our kitchen remodel) and came away happy both times.
We would highly recommend Cabinets Plus to anyone.

*long lead time to start
pleasure to work with (Dave for the design, Kent for the installation). They came up with a great design - Asian theme (per our request) with custom cabinets, mirror and tub face all designed with beautiful fretwork. The cabinetry and woodwork was top notch. The fantastic tile selection for the shower and floor (heated), and bamboo-themed satin nickel faucets really pulled it all together. The Cambria Quartz vanity and tub tops were the icing on the cake. The Cabinets Plus installation crew (led by Ron) was very friendly and professional, always on schedule, and very attentive to taking care of our house and keeping the job site as clean as possible. In fact, we trusted them so much they had full house access and completed most of the project while we were in Singapore!
Having had such a great experience with Cabinets Plus on our master bathroom, we just had them design and install a new kitchen. We wanted open cabinets across the top near the ceiling to display our mask collection from our travels around the globe. Dave pulled together another beautiful design, including hidden LED light strips in the open cabinets and three upper
cabinets with glass doors. The backsplash around the kitchen is antiqued mirror, with the electrical outlets and phone jack hidden under the upper cabinets. A special tile (floral pattern) from Artistic Tile (Chicago Merchandise Mart) was used for the cooktop backsplash. The dishwasher and refrigerator were paneled to match the white cabinets, and Dave found a Blanco Silgranite sink in white that blends beautifully into the design. We had the same installation crew that did our master bathroom, and once again the craftsmanship was superb, and the project was completed on schedule. The kitchen is stunning, especially at dusk with the masks illuminated and the island crystal chandelier lit. We are very happy with the results, and wouldn't change a thing.
We highly recommend Cabinets Plus!
Melissa, our designer, was wonderful. She is friendly, lay-back, helps you ferret-out exactly what you like, and gives you ideas about what might 'look good together'. She met us at the vendor's shop to help us select our granite countertop, and it was a fun experience from start to finish, sketching, planning, blue-skying, selecting product, reworking ideas and watching the finished product come-together.
We are pleased with the quality of all the materials that we selected. And one of the nicest surprises came when they handed us a work-schedule - - everything was documented day-by-day from the initial tear-out to the installation of the appliances to the hanging of the ceiling fan (last task). It was WONDERFUL to be able to anticipate what would be happening each day; there was only one day when the schedule changed.
The workmen were skillful, professional and friendly. The owners are family; we had the pleasure of dealing with Dick, Kent and Dave. They are all helpful, responsive, easy-going, just generally 'nice' people to work with.
Subsequent to our kitchen-project, we discovered that we needed to make some changes to our laundryroom. We got rid of our stackable washer/dryer, purchased a side-by-side washer and dryer, and had some great cabinets installed over the appliances.
One of our biggest surprises came last month (two years after the installation). Suddenly we lost power to our over-the-stove microwave and stovetop. When I called Cabinets Plus, I half-expected them to say 'sorry - - you're an old customer. You need to call your own electrician.' Instead, they sent an electrician over, who by the process-of-elimination discovered that something in the electrical box in the attic had 'come-loose'. There was no charge for all his 'trouble', and it confirmed in our minds that Cabinets Plus is truly an exceptional company! I hear they do great bathrooms too!!! I would highly recommend them!
My husband and I visited the store to view the plans, discuss any needed changes, and to begin zeroing in on the final budget based on cabinets and extras we desired. Once the final budget and plans were decided, another visit was scheduled to our house to verify measurements.
Cabinets were ordered (we worked with other vendors to provide the appliances), granite countertops, tile, faucets were ordered and we were on our way! We were moving a window in the kitchen area to eliminate a "blind" corner, and Cabinets Plus worked well coordinating work with the outside vendor so that the process would be smooth.
We love the final remodel, and look forward to working with Cabinets Plus in the future on other projects!
