Best cabinet makers near Darnestown, MD

"My partner and I chose Blackstone Kitchen and Bath for our kitchen remodeling project. We had received four other quotes from contractors and after much deliberation, we chose Blackstone. This group did not offer us the cheapest or the most expensive quote (they were more the "middle of the pack"), but we chose them because we felt they offered good value and were honest about required permits. In the beginning we worked with Joe - he worked on the design of our kitchen and we were pleased with the number of options he presented us, despite us feeling as though we knew what we wanted. Even though we had a plan in mind, we ended up choosing one of Joe's designs. We were pleased with the overall organization at the beginning of the process. The company uses buildertrend.com to manage and communicate with the customer about the project. It was easy to sign a contract with them and start the remodel. As the project continued, we worked with three other people - Justin (project manager), and Saul and Marcus (builders). We were extremely pleased with the quality of work by Saul and Marcus. Every day they came they were pleasant, respectful, and worked hard to get the job done. They were very professional and always left the house nice and clean after their days work. They were great about communicating any issues to us, and very willing to go above and beyond for us. I would recommend Saul and Marcus for your project! Joe and Justin's communication was quick and their responses were timely. We did however have issues during our project that had occurred more than once. We had a wrong cabinet ordered, resulting in a wait to re-order the correct one and to install it. Our backsplash was ordered incorrectly, and our cabinet hardware was also ordered incorrectly, causing a delay in this project. Justin was good about re-ordering supplies, but we did have to communicate our issues quite frequently about the erroneous ordering. We also had an issue with things not being done accurately - we were told by one manager that we could have a certain floor piece but another manager said we couldn't. When we decided not to do this, the floor slab was still ordered anyway. We had miscommunication about the electric work - it was a "he said this" and "the other guy said that" - no one spoke to us, the homeowners, before completing that part of the project. Overall here are our pro/cons: Pro: great workmanship, professional staff, Saul and Marcus were absolutely wonderful, project finished within time-frame presented, timely response from management when there was an issue Cons: a little costly, contract is very broad and costs are not broken down too much (aside from cabinetry, backsplash, faucet, and countertops) so there are some blurred lines when it comes to covering the cost of certain issues that popped up during our project, difficulties with getting the correct things ordered causing delay in project, some disjointed communications"

"We are very grateful to Armagan (the designer), Kathy (the project manager), and Grover and Johnny (the renovation team) for all of their hard work on our townhome renovation! The place looks amazing! We started working with Armagan in November to pick out all of our finishes for the place, and immediately, he came up with a design that we liked and we agreed for him to start in December. By the start date, he had already ordered all of our supplies and cabinets, as well as applied for our building and electrical permits. Throughout the renovation, Armagan kept us informed on the small number of issues that arose during the renovation -- and asked us questions about the details as they came up. When we had questions for Armagan, he often would respond back within an hour (or, at the most, within the same day). The KBR team finished slightly ahead of schedule -- with all renovations taking approximately 2 months! After we moved in -- there were a few kinks to iron out, and KBR was more than happy to send the renovations team back for the day to finish up any last minute items. KBR was one of 4 kitchen and bath renovation companies that we spoke with in November -- and they came back with the best price, design, and overall team. We had much more confidence in KBR (after speaking with Armagan) than we had with any other contractors. We now know that we made the right choice and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again."

"I received A+ service from Granite Works. I met Bruno Valente, one of the co-owners, on my first visit. He was very friendly and helpful, not pushy like some sales people. The slab I liked the best was marked sold.  In a follow up discussion with Bruno, my brother found out that the sister to that slab was available. Bruno gave it a rating of 11 on a scale of 1 to 10, and he was right.  Bruno held the slab for a few days until I could get there. Purchased it that day, and he held it for 5 months at no charge. Many companies my brother called on my behalf would not hold a slab longer than 30 days.
When my brother was visiting from out of town, they were kind enough to bring it out of storage so that he could see it.  That day, we met Art Rivera who spent considerable time with me us and provided invaluable advice about a new counter I was adding.  He also provided other design suggestions on the backsplash and paint color, which I followed with great results. That was an extra bonus I didn't expect. So, if Art gives you advice, you should definitely take it.
The templater, Glauber (hope this is the correct spelling), was extremely detail oriented and communicated well with my carpenter and his assistant. He made a suggestion for the end cap of the new counter and the handrail behind it that made it a true work of
art.  Gus Valente (co-owner), with assistance from Eduardo (stone cutter), did a great job of deciding what parts of the stone would go where in my kitchen and fireplace.  They have an amazing eye. I was so impressed by their finding parts of the slab in totally different areas that would best connect at the seams. The installers were terrific and that process went very smoothly. I have 2 seams that are barely noticeable.  Their work in the kitchen and my fireplace surround was impeccable.
Granite Works exceeded my expectations, and I'm very picky.  My counters are a work of art.

"The service turned out great. I was happy to find I could reface the cabinets instead of having to replace them and saved a lot of money. The cabinets have held up very well. The technicians were efficient and completed the job in a timely manner. I had no problem scheduling the service."

"We recently completed a total renovation of a small bathroom with NV Kitchen and Bath. Their price was competitive with estimates received from 2 other local firms. I chose NVK&B because of their interest in doing the job and that they were located in my neighborhood. Edgar conducted a site visit to take measurements and make design suggestions. At their showroom, he helped us pick out all of the new fixtures, tile, etc. He understood what we were looking for and came up with materials that complemented our ideas. We were able to do the material selection in a few hours. The project started on time. Prior to demolition, they laid down protection on floors and stairs and covered nearby furniture. The demo was done in 2 days. Overall the work proceeded pretty close to schedule. Workers generally showed up on time. The only significant delay was caused by some of the tile being on back order. Our project manager, Huseyin identified some construction challenges during his walkthrough that allowed the design to be altered before work began. This resulted in no change orders during the project. He was very responsive to calls and text messages and issues that came up as the work proceeded. Specifically, we requested that some tile work be redone and to have a medicine cabinet changed that didn’t fit quite right. Huseyin addressed each of these issues quickly without hesitation. Overall, we are very happy with the results."

"The provider arrived on time.  I was only interested in a partial remodel -- that it, the addition of some cabinets to my kitchen.  He quickly drew up an estimate (which was quite a bit higher than a similar job done by Home Depot several years ago).  Frankly, I began to wonder why I had paid someone to give me an estimate.  Oh well.  Maybe if you're having a major reconstruction job it would be worth it."

"I had used John Chamoun previously, and he was the go to person for custom bookcases and a window seat at my new home purchase. While Regency is pricey, it's truly value received. The quality of workmanship is outstanding; as were the installation services -- which required on-site modifications to accommodate some quirks in the home's construction. Regency Custom Cabinet is top-notch, and I'd use them again in a heartbeat."

"Thank you for giving me a fair price and for being so reliable. You were polite, friendly, neat and on time. I can see you take your work seriously and it shows. You did a great job. I would definitely recommend CJ Craftsman."

"Great! He arrived on time, with the right amount of crew, tools and positive attitude! He was very experienced with Ikea cabinets and knew when we had purchased the wrong items. He also knew when to send me back to Ikea for different parts. Ikea made alot of mistakes and he knew that was common. He wrote down the numbers of the items i needed which was extremely helpful. He and his crew were fantastic and i would hire him again in the future. His prices were very reasonable and i appreciated that. I had two glass doors that were on back order so he said i could hold back $200 from his pay until they czme in. I called him on Sunday and told him i just picked them up. He told me they would be there on Monday morning to finish the job. Of course he arrived on time and he finished the job quickly. Of the 4 companies i hired to do various things in my kitchen his was the only one i didnt have issues with. I asked him to install the lights inside and underneath the cabinets and install the microwave. The lights were difficult but he worked hard until they were done. They make the whole kitchen shine! He was extremely reasonable with the microwave installation price. I asked him for several cards and already passed them out to people that wanted a new kitchen i told them he is the best installer i ever hired. He made this overwhelming project so much easier."

"19Mark was professional and knowledgeable, offering many great suggestions to make the small kitchen work better for us. We ordered new Armstrong cabinets and granite counter tops from him. The whole process only took less than two weeks from start to finish. He was always on time and available to answer any questions that we had. Also, he was offered no complaint when we decided to change some of the cabinets that we ordered. Overall, working with Mark and Creative Surfaces was a great experience and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to redo their kitchen.
