MILLWORK RESOURCE INC

Mike’s work is impeccable! Our kitchen looks fantastic! Mike and Jenn are easy to work with. The job was finished on schedule and the cost was better than other estimates we received. We couldn’t be happier with the work and how it looks! We highly recommend Millwork Resource for cabinet refacing and refinishing.

Millworks did a wonderful job restoring my kitchen cabinets! They were always on time, their work was very professional and their price was reasonable. I would definitely recommend them!

Replaced with new hindges

Fantastic.

Mike did a beautiful job on my cabinets. They look like they are brand new and he saved me thousands of dollars compared to retail cabinets. I would highly recommend him. I will be calling him again for my bathroom cabinets in the future.

Mike has over 30 years experience in cabinetry work. We hired him to “reface” our old kitchen and bathroom cabinets. I decided not to replace the entire set of cabinets because they were in good shape overall. The doors and hinges were just coming apart and the wood was cracking in these. But the “boxes” were sturdy. I had consulted with a few other companies prior to meeting with Mike, and replacing the cabinets would have also involved changing out our countertops, sinks, and potentially appliances as well as altering our existing plumbing. It would have required wall painting touch up too. I didn’t want the hassle and expense of all of that. Refacing turned out to be a much easier process. Mike came out himself several times prior to doing the job to look at our old cabinets and to bring me stain samples so I could pick just the right color for our home. He was on time, and he and his wife Jennifer make a great team! They removed all the old doors and drawer fronts, sanded down the old cabinet boxes, and applied a thin but strong new wood stained layer to all the visible surface areas. They then replaced the doors and drawer fronts with new ones, complete with new better soft-closing hinges. Mike cut the stained facing material on site to the correct dimensions and Jenn glued it in place, fine trimmed it, and rounded all the edges so they are smooth and perfectly bonded together. The end result looked brand new and professional. It gave a whole new look to our kitchen and bathroom. Mike also installed some pullout cabinet organizers for our pots and pans that make it much easier to access these items. And he replaced some drawer hardware to allow for smoother opening and closing of these drawers. The price for doing this job came in much less than the big box store estimates we had gotten previously and without the major disruption of complete cabinet replacement. The only hassle was having to empty our cabinets prior to them arriving. But this gave me an opportunity to get rid of old items that we never use anyway. It took about a week for them to complete the job from start to finish. And the dust from the work was pretty minimal. Mike and Jenn were pleasant to have around during that week. We highly recommend them!

Mike Park contacted me immediately and was able to meet with me very quickly. The cabinet door and finish choices were great. He started and finished the installation as promised. The cabinets are beautiful. I definitely would recommend him.

Mike quoted me a price which I accepted. He then proceeded to do the work on the schedule he proposed. When the job went a little easier than he expected he adjusted the final price accordingly. The work was superb. The changes match the existing cabinets such that there's no evidence any mods were required.

Mike Park submitted a bid to reface all the cabinets in our Albuquerque home as we were preparing it for sale.  After seeing the  superior quality of his work and his attractive price, we had him do the work.  Potential buyers were as impressed with his work as we were and the home sold rapidly.  
We moved to San Antonio, TX and visited with a number of cabinet makers and suppliers.  A number submitted quotes, but neither their work, flexibility in design, or prices came close to Mike's.  His design included a 10' high wall of cabinets 17' long including a desk area, and 21' of cabinets with no uppers that formed the remainder of  a "U" of cabinetry,  In the middle is a 9' L-shaped island that is supported by 18 drawers and has a 7' table that seats 5.  There are a total of 53 drawers, 14 30" x 30" cabinets, 4 cookie sheet cabinets, and other built-in specialty slide-outs.  Doors and drawer fronts have a simple, easy-to-clean, beveled design,  Cabinets have several coats of Sherwin-Williams "downy" paint covered with multiple layers of lacquer resulting in a light opal-like sheen that is stunning.  
Subcontractors, craftspeople, and vendors who work on our home are struck by the beauty and quality of Mike's work.  We couldn't be happier with the result.  
Mike listens very carefully and does everything with the customer in mind.  When he perceives there is a better way, he will explain it in the gentlest, straight-forward way and let you make a choice.  I have found it to our advantage to follow his advice.  He is absolutely trustworthy. fair, and would rather lose money than disappoint a customer.  You cannot go wrong in having Mike and his wife, Jen, remodel or design/build your cabinets.

I needed to replace 3 kitchen cabinet doors that had been chewed up by our beagle.  I was hoping to update the kitchen by replacing all the doors, hardware and countertop. After talking to a GC I found out the cabinet doors were going to have to be custom built as they were not standard size. They are original to the house built in 1964. 

The cost of a complete remodel was way over my budget so I decided to just get the 3 doors replaced and dreaded finding someone that could match the color. Originally they were birch in a honey wheat, but prior owners had bleached them to something approaching natural, so I knew matching the color would probably be challenging.

I found 3 possibilities on Angie's list and only Millwork Resource was also on the Better Business Bureau with an excellent rating.

I sent Mike pictures of the damage and he was able to get me back a quote without actually seeing the doors. $125 each if I could get them to his shop, which just happened to be a couple of miles away.  I dropped them off and he said about 3 weeks which is exactly when they were ready. 

The color is an amazing match. Only by looking closely at the edges can you tell they are not all the same age. The edges are a bit worn on the older ones. I am so very happy!!

Everything went well. They were very honest and gave a thorough estimate. Furthermore, they did a quality job for a competitive price.

Millwork Resource has an excellent and outstanding customer service and quality of work. They responded to whatever we asked them for.

Because I was going out of town, he had a longer time to finish the doors. Now that I have seen the quality of his work, I would have waited even longer.

I was extremely pleased with the transformation of my kitchen. I looked at Mike's samples, but chose a color I had found myself.
Mike was able to match it perfectly. He did an outstanding job. He was meticulous about his workmanship and took his time and
the result far exceeded my expectations.
Mike had several suggestions that I would not have thought of which gave my kitchen better function. He suggested a better way
to set up the lower cabinet doors to give me a much larger rollout shelf than I would have had. Also, made suggestions on the
refacing of the islands which gave my kitchen a beautiful finish.
I told him I wanted some glass doors. His suggestion balanced the kitchen very nicely.
Timewise, I was not hurried so I received quality workmanship which was far more important to me than when the work was completed.
I told Mike from the start that time was not an issue for me.
I would highly recommend Mike and plan to hire him on another project.

It did not go well. We paid Mr. Page $1,300 to get started--order materials, make new doors and other materials--on 13th June 2012. He was delayed by having to move his shop and did not show up to finish the job until 31st July 2012.
We had our kitchen cabinets resurfaced some time ago by a firm no longer doing business in Albuquerque. They did a fine job. By comparison Mr. Page's work is amateurish. The new material to cover the front of the linen press does not fir tightly against it. We had to ask him to caulk the gap. He was able to do that on only 2 of the three sides. The new facing material is quite thick ~3/4and quot; oak. Only the front surace and one side on these boards are sanded and treated with polyurethane, The other edges are raw oak, unsanded and unsealed..
We asked him to put new faces on the existing drawers. To do this he had to cut off the old ones and install a piece to attach the new drawer fronts to. [The same was done when the kitchen cabinets were resurfaced so we knew what was needed.] The new pieces at the front of the drawers do not match up with the ends of the sides. So their is a visible gap between that and the new drawer fronts. On one of the drawers the new front is slightly too wide so the drawer drags against the sides when it is moved.
On one end of the cabinet in the main bath Mr. Page installed a piece of molding that ran from the bottom on the counter top to the top of the baseboard. At the other end of the same cabinet he cut the baseboard so the molding would run to the floor. This piece did not fit tightly against both the cabinet and the wall. We asked Mr. Page to rectify this. He used screws to pull it in tighter. The screws went into the wood molding and left unsightly and rough spots sticking up. When we noticed that he had cut the baseboard to install this molding we asked him to remove the molding altogether. He did, with a pry bar. This pulled the screws out and damaged the cabinet and wire staples were also left sticking in the cabinet.
Mr. Page used power tools to install the cabinet hardware. This left rough burrs on some of the screw heads that need to be filed down
Mr. Page may do well building cabinets from scratch but I cannot recommend him to refinish existing cabinets.

Mike was very professional and prepared with samples and pictures of his work.
Mike was here when he said he would be and completed the work in a timely manner.
Mile's work is beautiful. I show all my friends my cabinets when they come to visit.
Most of all, it was a pleasure working with him and his wife. They are great people in my book.
I plan to reface my kitchen cabinets in the future and I will call him.

After accepting the proposal we were given an estimated schedule for completion as Mike now had to order supplies for the job and construct the needed cabinet doors and additional cabinets we had requested. Once he had the doors completed we were contacted for an installation date. He arrived as scheduled and began the installation. Everything went smoothly and he completed the job. We were very pleased with the outcome and would definitely recommend him. He was very detail oriented and makes sure everything is just right and meets your satisfaction.

They use real wood and sometimes Formica. They are very creative, responsive and give me ideas and suggestions on furniture. They offer solutions without escalating the price.

First of all, our house is 60 years old and had the original solid wood cabinets. The cabinet bodies were in good shape, but with warped doors falling off. Because it's not possible to get solid wood cabinet bodies nowadays I debated a long time between new cabinets and refacing. I finally decided on new cabinets and am very glad I did, because the new ones are very high quality. Also the old cabinets didn't have backs on them and had many layers of paint. New cabinets cost only slightly more than refacing.

Mike explained everything very well to my wife and me and was patient explaining the options. Because I was reluctant to take the standard particle board cabinets offered by all installers these days, he offered an upgrade to birch plywood, a much superior material, for very little more. I highly recommend this upgrade because birch plywood is attractive and much stronger, lighter, more water resistant, and you can put screws in it. For the drawers I also specified Blumotion self-closing drawer glides, the best quality available, and worth it. For the cabinet doors he offered several styles and types of wood. We went with natural alder doors, which go well with the birch plywood and won't show wear easily, although alder is softer than some other woods. Because the original bid was quite reasonable compared to other bids I felt comfortable adding minor upgrades. We had received three higher bids from other vendors, all for lower quality cabinets.

In a pantry area one slightly complicated built-in cabinet was refaced. This means the old doors were removed, the front wood was sanded flat and covered with matching adhesive-backed wood-grain sheeting, and new doors and drawers were installed. It came out fine, but I'm glad we went with new cabinetry elsewhere.

Mike communicated well throughout the entire process. He listened carefully and did exactly what we wanted. He was on schedule for the installation date (as promised, after about six weeks of fabrication time). He's a one-man operation (no assistants), and it all went smoothly, taking about three days overall for installation. He also went the extra mile to put a removable backing on one cabinet covering an electrical junction box, and after the job was over and the plumber had to tear a hole in the back of the cabinet under the sink to lower the drainpipe, Mike came and put a patch over the hole at no extra charge. He obviously takes pride in his work, communicates well, his prices are reasonable, and quality is excellent.

After Mike was finished I ordered and installed Blumotion soft-closes on the cabinet doors. This was easy, just driving one self-tapping screw for each. They give a nice noiseless damped closing motion to the high-quality self-closing hinges he used.

It went very well from start to finish.

Right on time for estimate. Showed us samples of wood that could be used for the doors, one of which was a good match to the rest of the cabinet. Provided two separate estimates (as requested for insurance purposes): one to simply close the gap with a filler piece of wood, and one to install a shelf and doors. Once we got our homeowners insurance company's approval, we scheduled the work for about two weeks hence. When I called the afternoon before, Mike said he wouldn't be able to do the work the next day after all but arranged to come over Saturday afternoon, which he did.
Did a good job of matching the wood grain and color of the existing cabinetwork. Initially installed the doors with the finger pulls (not knobs) on the bottom sides of the doors, which is pretty standard. But he and I noticed that, because the control panel for the oven protruded a bit, it was difficult to get one's finger into the gap comfortably. He switched the left and right doors so that the finger pulls were (are) now on the tops of the doors and easy to use. Mike also did a careful job of explaining how to adjust the hinges to align the two doors.

Price was only about half what the company that did the rest of the kitchen cabinetry bid to do the same job, so it's a bit churlish of me to rate the price as only and quot;goodand quot;. (Hope springs eternal.)

We're very pleased with the new shelf and doors.

See above. Besides the pretty rigorous checklist, Mike was right on the schedule he'd laid out when we committed to the job. We're really happy with our cabinet doors.

We've made Price N/A because we really don't know what we'd compare it to. We have absolutely NO complaints about the bill.

Mike was very friendly and professional the whole way through. He gave us options and showed us samples to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. He let us know the wait time before our cabinet doors would come in and delivered as promised. He was even able to complete the job a day early, which made us very happy. The kitchen looks totally brand new and gorgeous.

Discussed alternative, cabinets and doors, prepared an accurate estimate, met his scheduled date for installation and performed the work well, with minimum disruption. Cleaned up and left no mess when complete. High quality mission style oak doors stained to match the existing furniture. I plan to have him do more work for me in the future.

I would recommend him. He did a very good job. We moved into this house in August 2009 and he did the work before we moved in. I liked the quality of the work. He was very responsive and when he said he was going to be here, he was. Overall, he was excellent. His price was very good because I looked at two of the others to do the same thing, but his price was excellent. He is a cabinet maker and runs his own business. He doesn't send out a bunch of people. He does it himself. I would use him again in the future.
