Roselle Custom Woodwork

If we could give six stars, we would. Our kitchen contractor works with several high end cabinet stores, but he told us that if we really wanted to get exactly what we wanted, we needed to go with a custom cabinet maker (which he said would cost about 10% more), and he recommended John Valentine of Roselle Custom Woodwork. From the beginning, John was a delight to work with. He offered suggestions based on his experience, but he listened carefully to what we wanted and never insisted that his approach was better unless he had good reason to do so. When he came to our place for a final review before committing to a definitive design, a design consultant with whom we have been working joined us and we had a wonderfully collaborative, highly productive brainstorming session. John got started almost as soon as we signed off on the project, was flexible with interim adjustments (which included a visit to his shop when the cabinets were mostly completed), and was done several weeks before our contractors were ready to begin the demolition. (The speed of completion was a bonus that we hadn't even appreciated at the beginning; we have friends who began a kitchen renovation after we did - unfortunately for them they didn't consult with us beforehand - and they won't have their cabinets until November!) John, his partner Steve and John's son came last week to install the cabinets, and they are exactly what we wanted, top quality materials, beautifully finished, built with pride.

We cannot say enough about Roselle Custom Woodwork. We worked primarily with John Valentine who is professional and conscientious to a fault. John's partner, Steve Wright, was involved in the installation of the cabinets, and we found him to be very professional and nice as well. First of all, John came to see our space and gave us some good ideas about how he would redesign the kitchen. He was personable and professional and drew up plans right away as we were working with a contractor and there was a timeline involved. John took us through all phases of the custom work, had us come to the shop to see the design which he had all laid out in the work area of his shop, and showed us the how well built they were. We were extremely impressed with the quality of the plywood! John helped me choose the placement of certain aspects of the kitchen as well as the special items we needed such as the utensil pull-out drawer , the garbage pull-out, the mixer cabinet that pops up when needed, the silverware drawer and the partition compartments above the refrigerator for storage of trays, cookie sheets, etc. Marvelous!!! John's attention to detail was second to none. We never imagined our kitchen would look so beautiful and it is all thanks to Roselle Custom Woodwork! We would not hesitate to contact them in the future for any job as no job is too large or too small for this excellent company. They deserve the best recommendation available!!

John and Steve were very attentive and provided suggestions to get the job completed properly. The price was very fair for the personal attention that they provided for this small job.

I would give them an A on all accounts.
