"Aaron and Bonnie were a delight to have! They did our window trim and were very much experts with what they were doing. Very communicative and friendly! Will absolutely recommend to friends."

"Ryan and the team at Cabinet Clad did a wonderful job - from the first visit to my home to see what we could do to the sit down in the show room to "dream" ... what a great experience...  Still trying to decide if I'm moving forward with the remodel but that has nothing to do with the service I have received - I would use these guys for sure...

"We love our cabinets! They look fantastic while remaining affordable. The friendly staff at AWD helped us from start to finish. They are very knowledgeable and gave us advice and tips when needed. They were receptive and patient with our ever-changing needs. Once we finalized our purchase, we received our cabinets within two weeks! The cabinets are very sturdy and the color is beautiful. The hinges and hardware are high quality. We are extremely pleased with AWD and would recommend them to any friends or family looking for good cabinets at a fair price."

"I purchased a Big Deal for a custom kitchen design January 2011. Here is what the the offer said.
"Young Painting  & Remodeling, a highly rated service provider on Angie's List, is
offering custom kitchen design services complete with measurements and a full set of plans for only $50! This service is normally valued at  $250,  saving Angie's List members $200!"
We scheduled an appointment in April, and Paul came out promptly. He appeared to be a nice, sincere, and hard-working young man. I explained that due to my husband's health problems, we could not handle a complete remodel all at one time. I am trying to update our house a little at a time as our budget and especially his health status allows. That is why I was attracted to the idea of a custom design. I had in mind a long-term plan as it were. I think he had in mind generating cabinetry installation work for his company. He had said that his company was in the process of changing from one that primarily did painting to one that did remodeling with a focus on cabinet installation. I told him that my husband's condition precluded anything that would cause a lot of dust and debris. I thought I might want to eventually get the cabinets painted, refaced or refinished but wasn't planning to replace them. And that other issues such as the walls and the lighting had a higher priority than the cabinets. I wanted to start with a color scheme for the kitchen/dining room and hall which are all open to one another. He said color wasn't really his thing, but that if I needed help, he might pull someone in as the job progressed. (Remember at the time of the big deal, the Company was named Young's Painting and Remodeling  rather than Young's Remodeling as it is now. I can perhaps be forgiven for thinking he might have some ideas about color)

He listened patiently to my ideas about what I wanted to accomplish and what I wanted to avoid. At one point he asked about how much I thought I could spend. I gave him what I considered to be the maximum figure for everything to be spent over time. He then said that with that amount he thought I could afford new cabinets after all. I did not say again that I wouldn't consider it. My reasons for not thinking I wanted new cabinets were not solely based on cost. I had already told him why I wasn't planning on new cabinets, but I decided to let him show me a design that might make me reconsider. He took some measurements and soon thereafter he left saying he would get a proposal to me as soon as he could.

He did indeed send me a proposal. It divided the work into categories such as demolition, plumbing, electrical, painting. Included was an estimate of hours of labor with the rate and a budget for materials. The total figure for the kitchen alone was for almost my maximum remodeling figure. More than half of the amount was for cabinets and counter-tops. There was no mention of what kind or configuration of cabinets I would get for this amount of money. I had mentioned that though I knew granite counter-tops were in style, I didn't think they would be a good idea for us because we both have arthritis in our hands and drop things more than the average person. With our current laminate counters, often things don't break. With granite, I'm pretty sure I would be cleaning up glass and china shards pretty much daily. Nonetheless 'granite countertop budget' was one of the items on the proposal. But the proposal included was no drawing, no dimensions, no description of materials to be used other than the granite for the counter-top.

I have the proposal. It is a pdf file.  I would attach it to this review to illustrate my point if I could see a way to do so. I do not consider it to be a design. I certainly don't see how anyone could claim it is a full set of plans. Instead, It is a list estimating what it would cost for this company to remodel my kitchen.  It does not appear to take into consideration my stipulation that I needed to do this a little at a time in order to minimize the stress to my husband. The voucher for the big deal specifically states there is no obligation to use the company for construction. The proposal does not appear to include any work on the dining part of the room. I did not buy the big deal in order to get an estimate. I'm pretty sure there are contractors who offer free estimates. Considering the amount of time he spent, it is perhaps worth the $50 I paid, as it does give me an idea of how much this contractor would charge for certain services such as prepping and painting the room, although I interpreted it to mean those costs would only apply if I accepted the entire proposal.

 I can see no way in which it has the $250 value claimed in the Big Deal. This company has very high ratings on Angie's List. They may indeed do fine work. However I bought a promise of a custom kitchen design. I just don't think what was provided remotely qualifies as a design.

I can understand why a remodeling contractor would not be interested in a piecemeal project such as mine. I've had a fair amount of work done over the past few years. Some people are pretty good at dealing with grouchy old sick people. Some aren't. Some choose not to consider even trying. However, again, I stress that the big deal was for a design.

By contrast I paid $99 for a different Big Deal for custom deck design. I got not only a detailed design for the deck which was far more creative and practical than what I had envisioned, but also a design with dimensions for a garden arch and a sketch for the main backyard garden. This contractor did include, as a separate item, a proposal for his company to build the deck and arch he had designed. I could clearly see what I would be getting. Guess which contractor I hired.

I am amending this review after being contacted by Mr, Young. As I mentioned above, I think he is a sincere and hardworking contractor. He offered to  refund my money as I was not satisfied with the service he provided. He did so, and I appreciated that though it was not necessary. Were our circumstances different, I might consider working with him. As it is, and after consulting a couple of other contractors, I'm thinking even a minor kitchen remodel has too much potential to cause adverse health problems for my husband. So it will have to be one thing at a time or not at all. Again, that's why I want a design, so I know where I'm trying to go.

"I recently received a custom computer desk from Chris, and I couldn?t be happier! From start to finish, the process was seamless. Chris was attentive to every detail I requested, ensuring the desk was not only visually stunning but also highly functional for my needs. I was in the market for simplistic modern desk, with a rustic touch to it. What makes this experience different in my opinion, is the transparency and communication between myself and Chris. It?s clear that he takes pride in his work, and it shows in every detail. He has a realistic approach to the project and will be very fair as far as pricing. He understands that people want a good piece without having to break the bank. He would always reach out to me via text/email for every update on my desk. It honestly felt like I was there myself building it with him! I highly recommend him! Thanks Chris!"

"Service was good.  Dennis came out and brought samples.  He was able to customize plans according to our needs which was excellent.  We were able to get some custom built in wall cabinets done to maximize space in our theater room and bathroom.  Dennis is customer oriented in the details and was even willing to come out and give some further recommendations after we had our granite installed on bar to see if it needed any further support.
After the job started email was the best way to communicate but sometimes took a little while to coordinate dates.
The project install was about a month later that planned which then conflicted with other work we were completing in our basement and is about the only thing that could have been better.
The cabinets are beautiful and I'd use them again for any future woodwork I need done.

"One thing Shawn arranges for is to have a lady come in and clean/dust everything after they are done with dry wall sanding and such. That was a nice bonus.  He also found a spectacular carpet cleaner guy to get out stains and wax tracked in on carpeting. Carpet still looks great!

Shawn has a helper named Mike, and Mike is a hard worker. Mike shows up on time, and works as long as he has to without complaining. Shawn does have sub contractors for dry wall and painting.  His painter (Melbin) does an awesome job, but some of the guys that help Melbin are rather sloppy, leaving paint in sinks and splatters on counters.  Shawn made sure it was all taken care of later on though.  Shawn's dry wall guy (Carlos) knows how to get the job done pretty well, but wasn't very conscientious about making sure surfaces were protected (like floors, carpets, etc) from the dry wall compound, and he dumped the waste down in the street sewer- a big "no-no."
  I agree with another reviewer that stated Shawn seems to have a lot of things suddenly "come up" and seems to have too many "irons in the fire." There were several times when Shawn didn't show up when he said he would. Sometimes we would be contacted as to why, other times not.  I think this is common among contractors, unfortunately. They seem to have a whole different concept of time.

Shawn finished the job within a week of our deadline. We had some unexpected add-ons that understandably lengthened the job. "
