Get matched with top kitchen cabinet refacing pros in Cedar Point, NC

"As a new DIY’er... I had totally renovated a kitchen in my rental property.... I painted cabinets, tiled backsplash, epoxyed countertops. I stood back, admiring my work, gave myself a “ You are limitless “ pat on the back. All that was left to do, was install cabinet and drawer hardware.... I don’t know what I did, but .... the first two holes I drilled on my cabinets were way off, after careful measurements. So... moved on to the next door.... and same thing happened. After numerous try’s to fix my disaster, and almost in tears, due to time being under a time crunch.... I reached out to OBX Specialties...... I was so blessed to have Karen return my call in a few short minutes. Under all my stress, I tried explaining what had happened and asked if anyone could assist me with my blunder... (Now... keep in mind.... I am calling on a Tuesday in the late afternoon around 5:15 pm, when most businesses are at quitting time to go home and care for family.) Karen was all ears, and let me finish with my break down, then calmly gave me some pointers. I guess she could hear desperation in my voice, and said her husband would be home in 20 minutes, and she would grab some tools from him, and come over to lend me a hand.... In about 30 minutes, there was my angel sent from up above!!! Karen went to work, and included me in the process. She was a wealth of knowledge, and over the next 2.5 hours we were giggling and chatting like we had been friends for years. She showed me projects her business was currently working on, and seeing those....I knew she had made a big sacrifice to take time out of her busy day to come help me!! I can’t thank her enough for getting me back on track with my rental, and for all she taught me in the process! What an amazing and talented woman Karen is.... not only a wonderful business woman but one with TRUE COMPASSION!!! I also have to give thanks to her husband and business partner for putting up with cold dinner pots in the kitchen when he got home... LOL!!! Karen, thanks so much my new friend! You get 5 stars and will be my recommendation anytime someone needs home design with kitchen, bath, or whatever! You are truly a blessing to anyone who hires you!!!!"

"I hate being condescended to. Listen to what I want and then give suggestions on how I might be able to work that out in my kitchen. Don't just tell me it can't be done. I felt like I was wasting my time. I asked about a particular type of closet (not realizing it was part of a bigger cabinet...how would I know) and she told me to follow her (using her finger to me like a child) and said I couldn't have it because it was as part of a bigger piece. She could have just said that. I said if I can't make my kitchen more "usable" (less wasted space), WHY to with custom cabinets. I could just reface. The woman behind me who was waiting to ask her a question said. Listen, if you can't get what you want, I don't blame you for not spending the money. It's easy to reface. So, I called another company and, low and behold, I'm getting partial refacing and partial custom cabinets. He came and we discussed HOW I could get my carousel cabinet (uh - he suggested I go from a double to a single sink - easy peasy) AND, he came in at half the price your website suggested I might pay. It is really nice to be listened to...especially when it's MY money I'm spending."

"Brady was very polite, quick and knew what he was doing. I will definitely use him again."

"Kitchen Restylers took an extremely outdated, depressing kitchen and in just four days, they created a sleek, clean and delightfully beautiful kitchen. Tim and John were as professional as they come, always on time, pleasant, executed the project with precision, all in a timely manner. I couldn't be more thrilled with the total package, cost, labor and finished product. The materials used are top notch, the countertops are lustrous and the new stainless steel sink and exhaust fan over the stove were the icing on the "cake". They rate MORE than 5 stars in my book!!! I have absolutely no problem referring anyone to call Kitchen Restylers."

"Timely and relatively tidy.  They did a good job explaining all the steps and how long the process would take.

"Awesome to work with and did everything outstanding!"

"They replaced the entire roof in one day! And cleaned up well."

"Hello, My name is Phil Carr-Jones, I am reviewing my experience of working with and building my own kitchen, using cabinets and doors from Arkansas Wood Door. While I am an Episcopal Priest, it turns out I get to do a lot of things they don't teach you in seminary. Over the years, I have had to get fairly skilled in all the trades, including, no surprise, carpentry. But I am by no means an expert. For instance, I employed a retired carpenter to help out with the crown molding and other trim. Apart from that though, this is all my and my wife's work. So let me state up front, Arkansas Wood Doors is the go to place for the DIY’er who is thinking of remodeling their own kitchen. Here's why: I searched the web for months, literally doing comparisons and research on flat pack rta cabinets. I went to the big box store for a design and pricing in their three lines of cabinets, and I went in for a consult with a small custom shop in my area. Here's what I found. 99 outof 100 rta cabinet companies have their product made in china which means the standards for formaldehyde are going to be as fishy as they smell, plus you can only get cabinets in fixed sizes so if you looking to eeck out every last inch of space you're going to lose a lot and you'll be using a lot of filler strips wasting what could have been useful storage. If you want to go custom, then you only have less than a handful of online options, companies that will make to order in any dimension. For instance, I only wanted an 8 inches deep spice cabinet to allow for greater working room over the counter. My wife and I are pretty serious about cooking from pastries to mains and sides. We want a very serious kitchen. Plus, I'll tall so I needed the room. In any case, if you want something custom your choices online are limited. The big box stores don't really do custom and are just as limited in their options as are the online rta places. Most online rtas offer far cheaply made boxes with construction methods less sturdy. I have found that if I buy cheap, I shouldnt expect my kitchen to hold up past a few years. The finish will fade. The drawers will warp. The joints will open up. The big box stores basically offer the same thing, too. When I go to a big box store to buy something, I do it knowing I probably willl get a year out of it, whether that’s a lawn chair of a power tool. I mean when was the last time you regretting spending too much money on a better grade of power tool? So if you want quality, a better and safer grade building material and much wider choices in sizing then your basically down to three or four options. I went with Arkansas Wood Door and am completely pleased and impressed by the experience. Now I could have spent twice what I did and gone to a small custom shop and gotten the same thing, but I am in to saving money and frankly I enjoy the challenge. AWD worked with me directly. Working up the order and getting the plan for each box just right. If you have never designed and built a kitchen before, there are plenty of tips and guidance on the web and I recommend you heartily research all of the aspects and complications involved. I hit a couple of unexpected bumps. But more about that below. So do your research. For instance you can save a lot of money by building the plinths yourself and only order squared off boxes without the toe kick. By making the platform on which you place the lower cabinets first, you can get that plumb and level, so throwing up the boxes is a breeze. And again, the cabinets are also less expense, a complete all around win. AWD uses an easy system for matching up box parts so assembly was easy. No special tools required. Given the many parts and I used a mix of frameless and face framed cabinets, there was a moment or two when in amongst all the materials I got nervous about having everything I needed, but low and behold, all was right there in the end. I also recommend the concept from French cooking "mis en place" that is have all your ingredients in place and all your tools where you need them before starting out. Also, it was a lot easier to work with my wife than doing it alone, but I did a few by myself and so if that is your only option than you should have no problem. I've assembled a lot of cheaper Swedish flat packed furniture in my day, and the quality and sturdiness of AWD leaves no doubt about how long these will last. Just rock solid. Great thing about AWD is the cost to quality ratio. Cant beat it. Which also means if you make a mistake the replacement is so reasonable it becomes not big deal. I mis-measured one box and so I needed to order the right size. Worked out fine, but that was because AWD had an incredibly fast turn around. The other few reliable companies are several weeks to months. And these other places are crazy expensive. And in truth, the other companies are a complete rip off on trim and accessories. AWD pricing was so amenable that my mistakes cost me so little in comparison with what I was saving. So there's a built in confidence for the first timer. Also AWD made one mistake on the placement of a hinge in two doors. They immediately and without question remade them and sent them out in under ten days. You just can't get that service anywhere in the custom cabinet world. It was so affordable I upgraded on one side to black walnut. Trying doing that at the other quality shops. The quality of the roll out drawers and top drawer boxes is superb and the hinges and under-mount sliders are top grade excellent. The hardware was the easiest part frankly. Their system, for lining up the hardware is just so easy. Drill driver is all you need as the placement is already leveled for you. SO: high end quality custom built cabinets, superior custom support, fastest turnaround in the marketplace, most affordable pricing out there, excellent hardware, and oh yeah, I almost forget, color choices. They offer complete line of lacquer - just pick a SW color and they'll match it. SO completely and truly custom for a fraction of cost without sacrificing any quality. The Rev. Philip Carr-Jones"
