"Cabinet refacing, new counter and sink installation will start 12/20/21 with promised completion 12/23/21. So far everyone involved have been prompt, knowledgeable and responsive. Will review again when project complete."
"Everything was great from start to end. Jeanette and Brayden were easy to talk to and straight to the point, they both made sure everything was to satisfaction and met my needs. Overall great service and I would definitely be looking forward to doing business again in the future for other projects. Communication was awesome !"
"Excellent work. We purchased natural cherry cabinets in shaker style, with the panels made of solid wood rather than veneer. That is more difficult work, as each panel has to be constructed from several planks. Moreover, the clear finish would leave any flaws more visible. Simply put, the doors are beautiful--flawless in both construction and finish. They are similar in quality to custom cherry furniture we own."
"Kerwin is an absolute professional. Communicates on when arriving to complete a task, estimate timeline is always helpful. He's very responsive to my questions, and very knowledgeable. Very well rounded and an expert. He earned our trust to make the best decision for how some tasks needed to be done. His finished product is quality. Kerwin assembled our son's bed, a major closet, TV stands, an office desk, a book shelf and TV mounts. He handled all the fixing and repairs to our house to get it in proper shape to sell. We enjoy working with Kerwin, trust his expertise and work. He is our absolute go-to guy. We referred several family members to him and would 100% recommend him to anyone else."
"I am soooo glad I finally did this!! I have never had new cabinets in my life - Even though it's refacing - They are my brand new cabinets. The installer (Nicholas) was professional, clean and accommodating to my needs in the kitchen. His work was beautifully done and he took great care to make sure that everything was perfect when done. I am extremely happy in my brand new kitchen!"
"George's painting, inc was responsive and professional from start to finish. The project entailed wallpaper removal from 2.5 bathrooms and kitchen, repainting those rooms; installing a tile backsplash and vinyl tile floor in the kitchen; replacing the kitchen countertop; repairing a cabinet; repairing drywall and painting the ceiling in the master bedroom. The owner came out to do the estimate himself. He was accommodating when I wanted to expand the scope of the initial project and came out a second time to give me an updated estimate. He was easy to reach via cell or email. The estimate was more than fair. His crew completed the job in three days. The crew was polite, professional, and did a good job cleaning up at the end of each work day. I highly recommend this company and would use them again."
"We chose Capital Cabinet Refacing to do our small condo kitchen for their pricing. They were much more affordable than the big box stores, and it’s nice to do work with a local business. They offer a lifetime warranty on the cabinets that is transferable to the next owner, just like the box stores. The only down side was the color selection for laminate cabinets was not as large, but we were able to find something that worked for our taste. We had our initial appointment in mid to late April and our cabinets were installed mid June. We were getting the cabinets done for ourselves and were not in a hurry. We were also told in advance before we even signed a contract the wait time would be long due to their high volume of projects. However, it only took them one day to do our small project and I’m pleased with the outcome. I would definitely recommend them, but just make sure to factor in at least 6 weeks for the job to be completed."
"If I had known it would only take 7 days for cabinet refacing, backsplash, countertop, and flooring, I would have remodeled my kitchen years ago. The workers were very professional and did a great job. My neighbors and friends were impressed. Make sure you review all your options on tiles and countertop and see large pieces before you make up your mind."
"I feel lukewarm about the experience. He did not finish everything that I asked him to. I had given him a list before hand, including caulking. The grout he put in was actually a different color and I had matching grout that he could have used instead. He did the front corner of the bath, but did not do the rear corner. I had cabinets that weren't closing properly, and he skipped one of them. At the end he said he did everything, but he missed some things."
It depends on your carpentry skills and the type of cabinets you purchase. If you have a high level of skill, then it’s most likely going to cost less for you to build your own garage cabinets. It will take longer than purchasing pre-built cabinetry, but it will decrease your overall labor cost.
Like nearly any other upgrade, new and improved kitchen cabinets can increase your property value and make your home more attractive to potential buyers. After all, the majority of home buyers consider the kitchen to be one of the most important rooms in the house. New melamine cabinets can be a big plus, particularly if you select a classic wood grain or another light neutral color that provides a blank slate for other design elements.
If your walls aren’t plumb, it can make installing frameless cabinets difficult because they require precise measurements so they don’t show imperfections. Any dissymmetry with installation can cause the doors and drawers to not function correctly. Frameless cabinets are also thicker and heavier, making them harder to install by yourself.
Walls in good condition with an even surface should be fine for frameless cabinet installation. Older, uneven, or warped walls could create problems. Your studs and their spacing are especially important, since frameless cabinets rely so much on wall attachments. Call in a professional installer for a consultation if you aren’t sure.
Buying a kitchen cabinet or finding an experienced cabinet maker is likely going to be your best option unless you have the necessary experience and woodworking skills. If you’re just replacing one cabinet base or one cabinet, making your own is entirely possible and more effective, assuming you have the right equipment.
