Get matched with top cabinet makers in Portland, OR

"PDX Custom Woodwork ruined our house and wasted our time and money. We spent $62k for them to spend 6 months demoing and painting. We didn't hear from Lina for at least 3 months of this, only the occasional text from Manuel. Even at their best, they rarely communicated with us and it was like pulling teeth to find out what amounts of materials WE had to order, including our own carpet/padding and tile cement, which is not standard. They also never visited the site or had a project manager overseeing the work being done. We had to beg them to come to the property and that still only produced a monthly visit, at best. Their workers came mainly on weekends so it's clear they were prioritizing many newer projects over ours. Ultimately, they barely completed $20k in work- of which, none of those projects were totally finished- and have done about THREE TIMES that amount in DAMAGES to our property, bringing the total to around $100-120k. They gave us half our kitchen cabinet doors three months ago then kept telling us the rest were on the way. Though all of the built-ins we hired them to redo were demolished, they never fabricated the new ones. We paid for all our flooring materials ourselves, which is not an industry standard, and they had the audacity to ruin them FOUR times. We shouldn't have given them the benefit of the doubt when they said they'd fix it. The patterned carpet was cut at an angle on every single piece and they ripped up carpet in places they shouldnt have, leaving us to buy and replace even more of it. Their "painters" got paint on multiple stained wood doors (including the front door and sidelights) that we were keeping, as well as every kitchen appliance including inside our garbage disposal, and in ALL of our brand new outlets and on the light switches. They also ripped a knob off of our oven range, dented all the doors on our new fridge, covered our kitchen chandelier and living room ceiling fan with paint and damaged our brand new fireplace that they were supposed to wrap in stone for us. They washed their brushes in our bathroom sink and left paint in rooms not being renovated. They made changes to another contractor’s city-permitted work between inspections, and without telling us even when we were on site. We had to correct them on measurements multiple times because they couldn't do it accurately themselves. This was maybe 1/4th of the work we wanted to bid from them. We wanted to be repeat customers, do bigger renovations, and go the long haul, but Lina and Manuel made it impossible. Our home has been unusable for half a year with nothing to show for it. Most of the work, including the over-sprayed paint job, will need to be redone, because it's spotty, has rough texture and the ceiling got the wall/cabinet paint on it in multiple areas. They didn't even seal our tile or countertops, which were the only things we thought they had completed, but didn't. Instead, we have to now file a complaint and hire new contractors, that know what they are doing this time, to finish the job."

"Excellent! Good recommendations, attention to little details, work performed on schedule. The absolute best, professional 3-man crew - anybody would enjoy having them doing remodel work in your house while you were in the home."

"Looking for someone who will do small projects around your home, efficiently, timely? I and son's stepped right up to the plate and hit a home run. They provided a quote and estimate based on a few photos. Then stopped by and answered all our questions. They were able to start the next day. The team was professional, courteous, on-time. They kept the work site clean."

"Matt and Dan were fantastic and went above and beyond throughout the course of the project. They were knowledgeable, professional, and focused on the details consistently. Even when issues popped up they were quick to find solutions and implement them. Highly recommend working with them for any renovation, we will definitely be using them in the future for any projects we have."

"Highly recommend! Russ and crew did a wonderful job updating our kitchen! New countertops, refinished/painted cabinets, new appliance installation and tile backsplash. They were efficient, great at communication and paid attention to detail. Would plan to hire again for future house renovations!"

"Tomas was a real pleasure to work with. He responded promptly to our initial inquiry and provided a reasonable quote and offered good suggestions regarding how to best complete our kitchen and bath cabinet refinishing and restoration project. Work was done ahead of schedule and with excellent results. He kept us informed of his progress and managed to complete the work with very little mess or disruption. Would hire him again without reservation."

"Brent was meticulous and experienced and completed three diverse small jobs (installing a security light, garbage disposal, and slop sink) successfully. He is kind, thoughtful, and responsive."

"Very nice work. Did not take forever! Good Communication! I am happy with the way the kitchen came out! Highly recommend!"

"Of all the renovation projects we have done, this was the highest budget and level of risk we ever contracted out for, so we consulted multiple sites and read reviews before narrowing the list of professional contractors to a handful and reaching out for consultations. Alta Casa immediately stood out with their excellent responsiveness and communication, and the others gradually self-selected out to the point where we were ready to proceed. How would that translate over the course of the project? Design process: The Alta Casa team listened to our needs and incorporated them into the design, asking appropriate clarifying questions along the way. Our priorities (yours may vary): - Keep original footprint and walls intact - Increase storage, but better use of space (lose the peninsula and soffits) - Increase lighting: overhead and under-cab - Functional usability of cabinetry - Coffee bar - Baking station Execution on Delivery and Project Management: - Scope: We reached an initial agreement and everything that we decided to add was appropriately and promptly covered with a change order. - Schedule: Coordination of subcontractors executed well, work was done in sequence without dependency-related problems causing delays or rework. - Budget: The budget grew as we added and communicated prioritized items, but always under control and confirmed. - Communication and Coordination, Adapting to Changes: We all know that "little hiccups" happen, and you never know what you're getting into until the walls are opened up, but the frequent and open, honest dialogue enabled us to discuss what was learned, define options, and make the choice with which we were most comfortable. - Skills and Materials: Top quality, see for yourself in the photos. Final review together to confirm successful completion and satisfaction. Summary: Being without your kitchen for several months is notoriously stressful. The team at Alta Casa, their subcontractors, and external referrals were all extremely professional and repeatedly went above and beyond to deliver us an amazing result. I would choose them again in a heartbeat, offering my highest recommendation. If I could give them 6 stars, I would. They were that good. If you are in that spot, trying to choose a contractor you can trust to deliver your project, give Alta Casa a chance to win your business."

"Kona Construction did a great job on our deck! They tore out the old surface, put in Trex, and added a new cable rail system that looks amazing. Tony was easy to work with, showed up when he said he would, and paid attention to the details. We’re really happy with how it turned out and would definitely use them again."
