Minuteman Design Center, Inc.

We called at 9:00 in the morning and talked to Jeremy.  He had his crew out here by 11:00 as promised.  They looked the job over, took the cabinet from the wall, raised it, and reattached all in about 1/2 hr.  We could not have been more impressed or pleased with their expertise and attention to our requests.  They even helped us move the fridge into place.
Would not hesitate to use them in the future.

The doors are very beautiful, I love my kitchen cabinets, I like being in the kitchen now.
Very good work and they were very professional and made sure I got what I liked.

They were very careful, and cleaned up.  The whole process was very professional.Everything went as planned and explained.  They sub-contracted to packers to pack up my kitchen.

It went great. It was awesome. They did a great job. They came and got it, refinished it and dropped it back off. It was good and was priced reasonable. Overall it was really good. I did not find him on Angie's List. I knew him through work and stuff. He was referred to me.

It was moving around so much, that he checked everything to make sure nothing was broken. They did the job and then came back later to make sure it dried okay. They were on time when they came. I'll be calling them back to do some other things soon.

Great! They did a good job. The owner JC Lopez is the one that came out and did the initial estimate and did the follow through with their men as they did their different work, and we were happy. He is the one that helped us decide on the colors and the stuff that we needed and we went through a design center and we worked with him. So, everything was positive. So, I would say that the hands on, that JC, the owner was a big plus. His personality was great. His price was competitive. I would recommend them. The customer service and everything that they did, and professionalism was good. When we needed follow-up that we needed, he was right here. Responsiveness and everything was right on.

They are excellent. The pricing was little high. It took them long to do the job than they said it would take. They were on time, but they showed up around 11 o'clock in the morning and did what they had to do and then left and came back two or three days later. They are friendly. I would use them in the future.

Mr Lopez was too expensive and pushing. He nickled and dimed me for every little thing after  we had already signed a contract so you had to pay him or the job was not going to be done in time.  I felt he was not an honest man I would not recommend or use him again. I texted him two days ago and let him know one of the workers put a little scratch in my door, and I had just noticed the day before. I noticed it because they didn't tell me, but just tried to cover it with varnish. He asked who it was, but I wasn't sure because there were so many workers coming in and out. When he came over yesterday morning, he looked at my door, and rather than apologizing, he tried cleaning it up with his spit. One of the other workers said he found a piece of a sticky hanger from the wall on the ground outside and that likely scratched the door when it fell off the door (which there was not one on the door). Also, last week when he left, he hugged me. This made me feel so uncomfortable. Monday, my refrigerator was delivered and it wouldn't fit under my cabinets. I left my refrigerator in the middle of the kitchen. My neighbor's friend could have come over to fix it, but not until Tuesday. Mr. Lopez came over Tuesday to add molding to the countertop, so I asked him if he could shave a bit off of the cabinet to fit the refrigerator under it. He said he could fix it, but they didn't have a saw. I let him use my husband's saw to fix the cabinet and when he finished he told me it would be $50. I didn't have a choice, so I wrote the check to the person who did the work, instead of the company. He should have told me before I agreed to let him do the work that he was going to charge me again. The list went on and on. When I first got an estimate from him, I told him I prefer to get 2 or 3 more estimates, and he told me if I signed with him right then he would give me an 8% discount. I later realized this is the same discount he advertises on Angie's List any way. He even told me one of his workers was arrested a few weeks ago for drugs, and even showed me the news article. He continued to push me about buying tile from his friend. This friend even came over twice, once with his wife. He doesn't have a showroom or anything, and just came over with a few tile samples, and got upset when I told him I didn't want to use him.

The work was performed very well. Jeremy Lopez worked with us for a long time to help us understand what we wanted. When it came time to do the work, it was performed exactly according to how Jeremy said it would. The result looks great: you would never know that the vanity was from the 70's. Compared to the hassle of replacing the vanity, this was a great option.

The contractor was professional and punctual. Six months later they came and repaired the drawer that was not closing smoothly- No problem and no charge. All of my interactions with them were positive - nice bunch!

Pretty smooth overall if a tiny bit slower than anticipated. This was not a problem, just how it worked out. The crew was easy to have around. JC was very responsive to questions and to my final punch list.
I would use Minuteman again.

Two kitchen cabinet doors were missing from a home built in the 1990s.  Because replacement doors could not be purchased, I contacted Minuteman Design Center to find out if the doors could be built to match the remaining doors.  Jeremy Lopez measured the cabinets and took one of the remaining doors with him to use as a sample to build the doors and match the color.  In less than a week the new doors were installed, and they match perfectly!   Jeremy is very professional and courteous.  The quality of the workmanship is outstanding. 

Almost all of the kitchen and bathroom cabinets in our house had major problems with their finish.  The house was 11 years old and the cabinets were well made & in otherwise fine condition, but there was large patches of worn and missing finish on nearly every door, drawer and panel front.  We've lived in other homes with similar and even older cabinets-- we'd never seen a problem like this before.  Anyway, we decided to have them refinished along with some wood window seats and our wooden front door.
We dropped by Minuteman's Design Center on 4th street one day & liked what we saw & so had them drop by and give us an estimate.  The estimate was detailed & professional and Jose Lopez was our contact person.  The quote was higher than we expected-- although clearly better than the cost of new cabinets-- but they would be able to be in-and-done in the span of a single week which was a big plus.
We had the work done: their team (2 workers) was very professional, very helpful and friendly.  On Friday they took the doors, drawer fronts and moulding pieces back to their shop; we dropped by the shop on Monday to see a finished door (it looked great); on Wednesday they came, sanded & refinished all the cabinet frames & panels; and on Thursday they reinstalled all the doors, drawers and moulding pieces.  They made good use of filter/blowers, drop cloths and plastic sheeting to control the dust-- there was very little stray dust (other than deep inside of some of the cabinets) that we had to deal with.
The end result: The cabinets look like new-- probably better than new.  There's a richness of color and grain that was never there during the time that we owned the house.  Our window seats and front door are the same way-- great color and the wood grain seems to 'stand out' wonderfully.  A painter we had come by a couple of days later was very impressed with the work they had done.

We are VERY PLEASED with the completed project.
The project started on Monday and was completely done by Thursday afternoon.
A few minor items we found in a final walk through, were completed to our satisfaction.
While it was a messy project, Minuteman did a good job of containing the dust from the sanding of the cabinet frames.
We definitely would recommend Minuteman and Jeremy Lopez for your resurfacing and or remodel project.

It was a great experience!  We had a minor problem with the crown moulding, but they came out and fixed it.  They came when they said they would.  They got the job completed when they said they would.  They do quality, professional work.  The cabinets were in bad shape when we called  Minuteman to give us an estimate.  Now we  have  kitchen cabinets that we are proud to have people see.
Review written by Mary Hoover.

We had an old desk that was stored in a shed for over 60 years. The desk was totally black, the top and sides were scraped and gouged, but after some sanding we discovered the wood was really a beautiful red mahogany. However, it is quite ornate, and we gave up on refinishing it ourselves We turned to Minuteman, soke with Jeremy, and took the desk to him. He said it would look like new when he finished with it, and oh my, does it ever! What a beautiful job. We now have a beautiful piece that really does look ike new. He told us it would take approximately 3 weeks to complete, but he delivered the desk in 2 weeks. We couldn't be more pleased with the result, and recommend this company without reservation.

I found them on the internet. We thought their prices were quite reasonable. They were fast, good and really pleasant to deal with. The quality of the work was very good. Mr. Lopez is the owner.

THEY WERE A VERY RELIABLE AND RESPONSIBLE COMPANY. I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEM. THEIR PRICE WAS VERY REASONABLE. MY KITCHEN LOOK VERY EXCELLENT. IT WAS A VERY PROFESSIONAL COMPANY.
