However, appearances can be deceiving. While our contract allowed 60 days for build and install, this ultimately ran at least a week late. While Andre was always responsive to questions and concerns, we never felt confident the communication was clear on both sides. Obviously, not entirely the fault of the contractor. We had several finished dimension issues, with the base cabinet height built below spec relative to the apron sink. Once installed, the sink sat higher than all surrounding cabinets and three off the counter install. This was fixed with shim pieces and finish trim pieces to fill gaps.
The most glaring issues with the finished product were a corner base cabinet that was constructed on site since the scale would not allow an assembled cabinet through the door passages. It's not a completely enclosed box , with the back crafted on site and only partially completed before counters were installed. Further, there were screws misfired through three places along the Fridge revealed side panel, that are very visible scars. The cabinet maker refused to rebuild the panel, rather attempted to sand, patch, stain and reseal. This didn't correct the flaw, so 'footballs' (gouges) were carved out of the areas and he attempted to correct offsite, then glue up the plugs. Now, this looks worse than the first attempt, especially with the unmatched stain and clear coat. Its bad enough that we've considered having someone out in an attempt to cut a veneer for the whole panel piece to cover. There are pieces of cabinet edges and door backs that were poorly sanded before coatings applied, leaving a rough finish. The clear coat(s), clearly show bubbles and drip marks in quite a few places. There were several cabinet edges that were visible (Fridge panel edges, dishwasher adjacent bases), and yet unstained or clear coated. We handled this ourselves afterward.
The final payment was demanded in advanced of what the contract stipulated was complete. 3-4 cabinet doors, dishwasher panel, and drawer fronts had not been installed, no crown, toe or trim hung, missing hinges, rear mounting screws that weren't fully driven, etc. We paid and parted ways at that point.
Frankly, we wouldn't steer people away from working with Authentic Cabinetworks, and we believe Andre has a great sense of design and skill. We just felt our expecations were not entirely met.

To sum up - repeat visits were required for each of these components in order to correct problems. I experienced problems in every phase of the project. To start, one cabinet was ordered incorrectly, delaying completion of the project by three weeks. I was also promised at the time of sale that I could get the details of the paint used for the cabinets, so that I could paint my old cabinets to match. When the time came to get this info I was then told the cabinet company would not divulge it. During install I discovered that the countertops were not cut to the dimensions we agreed on in the measuring preview visit. After install I noticed that the countertop was not level (was off by 1/8\" per foot). The countertop subcontractor said this was because the cabinets were not level. The cabinet installer said that the cabinets had to be installed that way and that the countertop installers should have corrected for it. It was very frustrating to have two teams representing the same company blaming each other for the problem. It was corrected after much insistence on my part. The hole for the drop-in cooktop was cut too large the first time, requiring re-cutting and re-installaton of a whole new piece of countertop. The sink faucet stopped working within three hours of the install, and I did not receive \"all new plumbing from the wall out\" as promised at time of sale, so this too had to be corrected on a followup visit. The sink undercoating sound dampener was offgassing extremely strong chemical smells for weeks after install, creating sinus problems. I had to hire someone to correct the problem (use of cheap sound dampening pads containing asphalt-like components). Because of lack of attention to detail throughout this project, I cannot recommend this company for kitchen renovation work."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/al/birmingham/mazer-furniture-reviews-4766445.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"MEMO'S FINISHING & CABINETS","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MN","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Cynthia G."},"reviewBody":"My cabinets are old but sturdy.

Steve did a great job. A couple of the hinges were not working properly and he fixed those for us, cleaned and then touched up and polyed the cabinets. He was here for about five hours and did such a great job. It feels like a new kitchen. So happy we had him in.

"Let’s just say communication was stellar from the get-go! We met with Tom to go over what work we wanted to do and there’s just something about making a personal connection with someone that makes you feel confident that the work they’re going to do for you is going to be great, and it was! Can’t say enough about Tom and his brother Jesse‘s professionalism, knowledge and skill!! Along with countertops, we were also installing some unfinished cabinets and we didn’t even know it was an option, but Tom offered without us asking to prime and paint them for us as well, AND he even went and matched the paint so the new cabinets matched the old ones we were keeping, which was great because we were under a time crunch to get this work done before family was coming to stay with us. Tom and Jesse worked with us to make sure everything was completed and that we were 100% satisfied in the short amount of time they had to get it done for us. Everything looks beautiful and we would definitely work with Tom and Jesse again in the future! Actually, hoping to have them come back and do some laminate flooring for us as well! Highly recommend these guys, they are great guys, great communication, 100% trustworthy and I guarantee they will do a great job for you!"

Kitchen Cabinet Refacing questions, answered by experts
Properly maintained, resurfacing typically lasts 5-10 years. Factors like surface usage and exposure to chemicals affect longevity.
Not all refaced cabinets will peel, but they may if they have improperly installed veneer. To avoid peeling, hire a professional with a warranty on their work and materials, or make sure you purchase quality materials and follow all manufacturer-recommended installation instructions.
Kitchen remodeling can be as minor as a new coat of paint or as significant as a kitchen expansion to add more space. Some common things to include in a kitchen remodel include:
New appliances
Fresh flooring
New paint on walls or cabinets
Luxury countertops
New or custom cabinets
Lighting fixtures
New cabinet hardware
Changes in electrical or plumbing locations
New sink and faucet
Ensuring longevity involves using high-quality materials, carefully maintaining veneer surfaces, promptly repairing scratches or imperfections, and cleaning using appropriate solutions.
Yes, replacing cabinet doors only as part of a cabinet refacing project. During the cabinet-refacing process, the doors and drawers are typically replaced, while the cabinet boxes themselves are covered with a veneer or laminate. If you’re content with the look of the cabinet boxes, however, you can simply swap out the doors to save money on labor and materials.
