"Thank you Lou and Gib!, For the second time you make all things new.. I hired Lou Log Kitchens to re-do my Orchard Park home kitchen. We built the home and that builder disappointed us greatly. So the reface was done by this company.. When we downsized and bought a home in another area I saw the cabinets were of the same quality of our first builder. No worries, I bought our home knowing I would need LOU LOG KITCHENS again. He and his company did not disappoint. My new kitchen in my present home turned out spectacular. As a side note: I saw a great growth in the years in between. Lou Log Kitchen invested in better and even more efficient equipment and continued to create a better, more cleaner way of doing cabinets. Their efficiency was noticed and was remarkable. Thank you Lou and Gib. You are outstanding and men of character and integrity which I appreciate immensely. Debbie Keem Elma, NY."
"They were very professional. They came in matched my color to the cabinets perfectly. If you want a big project that involves your kitchen cabinets refacing I highly recommend The Home Depot. I never went to the store everything was done in my house. Great Job."
"I am still giddy over’s the job they did!!!!! I sincerely felt like a kid at Christmas when I looked at my yard!! They went way above and beyond, and even trimmed and pruned places I hadn’t asked them to do!! I would hire them again in a New York minute!! If you need anything done in your yard, and you don’t call this company, you are crazy!!!!!"

"I was advised that I should not re-finish cabinets and should paint. I did not listen and was warned, very honestly, that I may not be happy with the result. I am not contacting them to return to paint. Their honesty was so right on. I wish I had listening to them originally. He spent all day trying to make it right but my cabinets were too far gone."
