Visher's

How do you give negative stars? This is Arend Visher's cabinet business. He is the same guy who owned Visher's Cabinets and Flooring in Utah and Colorado. Our contractor hired him to construct and install custom solid wood cabinets for a kitchen renovation project. He was supposed to have the cabinets completed in November 2021, but he did not. We were told he would deliver and install the cabinets on a certain day, and he just never showed up and did not call. Meanwhile, we had demoed out our existing kitchen to make room for the new cabinets. So now no kitchen. Then he promised the cabinets would be finished, delivered and installed a few weeks later ... again, he just no-showed. Same thing happened a few more times. Finally he just showed up to deliver partly finished cabinets (empty boxes--the frames of the cabinets) and promised to complete the cabinets within a few weeks. Months passed, and he went radio-silent. Then he surfaced to say he had not been working on the cabinets and was not close to finished, but he could get it done--you guessed it--in just a few weeks. He signed a new contract for completion with our contractor, and then he immediately quit and told the contractor to come get the rest of the unfinished work from his shop. By this time it was February 2022. This made a pretty crappy time for us--we lived for quite some time in our house with no kitchen, and then we lived a lot longer with an uncompleted kitchen full of boxes (you can't unpack into cabinets that have no shelves) and the frames of cabinets. We couldn't cook during this time because we had no range hood to remove the smoke--Arend was supposed to construct and install that too. We had to hire a different cabinet maker who would not work on Arend's terrible half-done cabinets. It took six more months of living in boxes and an incomplete kitchen before the new cabinet maker could get us on the schedule to get the cabinets installed. This all could have been avoided--after all of this happened, we searched Arend's name online and found that he has done this EXACT same thing to others in Utah and/or Colorado, where he used to work. (Our contractor selected him, not us. We trusted them to do the due diligence.) I hope that by putting up this warning other people won't have to go through this same craziness.
