"Title: Some ups, mostly downs If you want a simple remodel of a small bathroom, Re-bath lives up to its hype and will do the job very quickly and fairly well. If you want something more, caveat emptor. Our saga started in March 2014, when we had a lengthy consultation with the sales guy and signed the initial contracts. Right from the start, the sales guy insisted that the project would take 4-6 DAYS to complete after all of the products were in and the work was started. Tony insisted this even though the project included a small bathroom with new tile floors, shower enclosure, vanity, cabinets, fixtures, and replacing a standard door with a pocket door; and a master bathroom with all of the same plus additional cabinets, two pocket doors, a jetted tub, and a tankless water heater. I had upped that estimate to two weeks in my mind, but we were both way off. We started the wait for project materials to arrive. Part of the delay was our fault for taking time to select the tub and fixtures we wanted. The first snag came in April, when Tony told us that the shower enclosure we chose was being discontinued. This was a big problem because we chose everything else in the bathroom to go with the shower enclosure we originally picked. It took a good month for the samples of the new materials to arrive and of course we needed to see everything together so we could select cabinets and tile to match our new surround color. We are into June by this point, and again waiting for the materials to arrive. Finally, finally we get word from the project manager that the work could start on July 7 and would take 4 ? 6 WEEKS to finish. After much argument, he agreed to try to finish in a month. OK, the small bath was done first and it was complete within 4 days, yay. We discovered many details were overlooked but they were eventually finished. With the master bathroom, it was one thing after another. The vanity went in but the fixtures weren?t centered properly. We received a tower unit for the vanity, but Re-bath never validated the measurements with us and it wound up taking up too much space. When the right unit arrived, it had to be moved TWICE because, again, measuring was not done properly. The new wall with a pocket door was hung crookedly and the pocket door didn?t close properly. The threshold between the master bedroom and the bathroom, and between the bathroom and closet were sloppy and mismatched. When Re-bath considered the project finished, we had a punch list of 24 items?stupid things such as not sealing the top of the enclosure to the wall and not sealing the entry to the jetted tub, among other things. Nearly every item on the punch list was due to lack of care of their part and all could have been avoided through proper supervision and review of the work. The glass for the shower, while OK, was not frameless as specified in the contract. The glass is the only thing that?s bringing this review up to three stars, however, because Re-bath agreed to reduce the contract price for most of the cost of replacing the shower glass by someone who knows how to make frameless glass enclosures. The fiasco with the water heater is quite another matter. The Re-bath sales guy probably should not have agreed to include the water heater as part of the project, but he did include it and said it would be no problem. Their master plumber is the only one allowed to deal with that sort of thing. Finding time in his schedule and coordinating the installation with the inspectors brought one problem after another. Initially, he measured the existing conventional water heater and ordered the parts needed for the gas lines and the exhaust flue. When he came to install it, he realized that he ordered the wrong size flue so had to order another, which took another week. Then he said that they needed a special platform ladder, but there was not one to rent in the entire city. The fact that it took weeks to look for the ladder needed for the installation is unbelievable, but it happened. After the installation, it rained and there was leak and they had to send the roofer out to properly seal that leak. In the end, what soured us on Re-bath is the lack of communication. It appears that this is a common problem for contractors, and one that is so easily solved. If Re-bath had bothered to stay in touch on a regular basis, we would have grumbled but would have accepted delay after delay after delay so much better, and I think all of us would have been much happier. The project was finally completed in October 2014. After the project was finished, one of the owners of the franchise booked time with us to discuss the project so he could use it as a teaching situation, but he forgot about setting up the appointment and did not show. When we called, he asked ?what did we do wrong now?? not even realizing his error. We were fed up and did not wish to waste any more time with them on this. Re-bath is not cheap. In the end, we like our bathrooms and think the materials are attractive and (we hope) durable. But it was a painful process and we cannot recommend Re-bath for anything except simple bathroom remodels. They claim two things that set them apart ? speed and a no-additional-cost-for-any-surprises-behind-the-walls guarantee. They did live up to the latter promise, but fell far short on the speed promise.
"Wes was amazing to work with. The entire process was so easy and smooth. He refinished my 19th Century Kitchen table and hutch changing them from worn out to beautiful. He fixed issues with the 6 chairs and reupholstered the seats too. He was a great consultant listening and providing ideas and solutions. You can tell Wes loves what he does and takes pride in his work. He finished the job earlier than promised. I have wanted to do this for 10 years and only wish I would have sooner!"
"Jeff was very professional from our first meeting to the installation, everything worked smoothly. The cabinet quality is very good. Solid maple with a factory finished baked on finish. I love my new kitchen!"
"Hello, My name is Phil Carr-Jones, I am reviewing my experience of working with and building my own kitchen, using cabinets and doors from Arkansas Wood Door. While I am an Episcopal Priest, it turns out I get to do a lot of things they don't teach you in seminary. Over the years, I have had to get fairly skilled in all the trades, including, no surprise, carpentry. But I am by no means an expert. For instance, I employed a retired carpenter to help out with the crown molding and other trim. Apart from that though, this is all my and my wife's work. So let me state up front, Arkansas Wood Doors is the go to place for the DIY’er who is thinking of remodeling their own kitchen. Here's why: I searched the web for months, literally doing comparisons and research on flat pack rta cabinets. I went to the big box store for a design and pricing in their three lines of cabinets, and I went in for a consult with a small custom shop in my area. Here's what I found. 99 outof 100 rta cabinet companies have their product made in china which means the standards for formaldehyde are going to be as fishy as they smell, plus you can only get cabinets in fixed sizes so if you looking to eeck out every last inch of space you're going to lose a lot and you'll be using a lot of filler strips wasting what could have been useful storage. If you want to go custom, then you only have less than a handful of online options, companies that will make to order in any dimension. For instance, I only wanted an 8 inches deep spice cabinet to allow for greater working room over the counter. My wife and I are pretty serious about cooking from pastries to mains and sides. We want a very serious kitchen. Plus, I'll tall so I needed the room. In any case, if you want something custom your choices online are limited. The big box stores don't really do custom and are just as limited in their options as are the online rta places. Most online rtas offer far cheaply made boxes with construction methods less sturdy. I have found that if I buy cheap, I shouldnt expect my kitchen to hold up past a few years. The finish will fade. The drawers will warp. The joints will open up. The big box stores basically offer the same thing, too. When I go to a big box store to buy something, I do it knowing I probably willl get a year out of it, whether that’s a lawn chair of a power tool. I mean when was the last time you regretting spending too much money on a better grade of power tool? So if you want quality, a better and safer grade building material and much wider choices in sizing then your basically down to three or four options. I went with Arkansas Wood Door and am completely pleased and impressed by the experience. Now I could have spent twice what I did and gone to a small custom shop and gotten the same thing, but I am in to saving money and frankly I enjoy the challenge. AWD worked with me directly. Working up the order and getting the plan for each box just right. If you have never designed and built a kitchen before, there are plenty of tips and guidance on the web and I recommend you heartily research all of the aspects and complications involved. I hit a couple of unexpected bumps. But more about that below. So do your research. For instance you can save a lot of money by building the plinths yourself and only order squared off boxes without the toe kick. By making the platform on which you place the lower cabinets first, you can get that plumb and level, so throwing up the boxes is a breeze. And again, the cabinets are also less expense, a complete all around win. AWD uses an easy system for matching up box parts so assembly was easy. No special tools required. Given the many parts and I used a mix of frameless and face framed cabinets, there was a moment or two when in amongst all the materials I got nervous about having everything I needed, but low and behold, all was right there in the end. I also recommend the concept from French cooking "mis en place" that is have all your ingredients in place and all your tools where you need them before starting out. Also, it was a lot easier to work with my wife than doing it alone, but I did a few by myself and so if that is your only option than you should have no problem. I've assembled a lot of cheaper Swedish flat packed furniture in my day, and the quality and sturdiness of AWD leaves no doubt about how long these will last. Just rock solid. Great thing about AWD is the cost to quality ratio. Cant beat it. Which also means if you make a mistake the replacement is so reasonable it becomes not big deal. I mis-measured one box and so I needed to order the right size. Worked out fine, but that was because AWD had an incredibly fast turn around. The other few reliable companies are several weeks to months. And these other places are crazy expensive. And in truth, the other companies are a complete rip off on trim and accessories. AWD pricing was so amenable that my mistakes cost me so little in comparison with what I was saving. So there's a built in confidence for the first timer. Also AWD made one mistake on the placement of a hinge in two doors. They immediately and without question remade them and sent them out in under ten days. You just can't get that service anywhere in the custom cabinet world. It was so affordable I upgraded on one side to black walnut. Trying doing that at the other quality shops. The quality of the roll out drawers and top drawer boxes is superb and the hinges and under-mount sliders are top grade excellent. The hardware was the easiest part frankly. Their system, for lining up the hardware is just so easy. Drill driver is all you need as the placement is already leveled for you. SO: high end quality custom built cabinets, superior custom support, fastest turnaround in the marketplace, most affordable pricing out there, excellent hardware, and oh yeah, I almost forget, color choices. They offer complete line of lacquer - just pick a SW color and they'll match it. SO completely and truly custom for a fraction of cost without sacrificing any quality. The Rev. Philip Carr-Jones"
"I found Charlie's website on my own with no word of mouth after having 3 previous roofing estimates done. Charlie was the ONLY Contractor to give me a price that was fair to me as well as himself, using QUALITY materials that we and the industry know to be superior. Charlie's square footage estimate was extremely accurate even compared to my own measurements as well as our Insurance Adjuster's estimate. I ended up getting on the roof after the first 3 estimates and measuring myself just so I knew what the heck was going on. Our adjuster confirmed my measurements. Then I called Riteway and without knowing that I knew exactly how big my roof was Charlie gave me the ONLY QUALITY and HONEST estimate. I had estimates ranging from $5200.00 (inferior products) to $12,000.00 (with the same products and less work done or done correctly). One estimate said I even had 300 plus more square feet than my roof had...WOW! These estimates were for the roof and facia alone. I had Charlie do our roof with TAMCO laminate shingles and felt, install 2 ridge vents, repair decking and facia as needed, build a cricket behind our 5 ft. wide chimney, replace all protrusions with new and install strongback bracing in the attic to correct a sag in the roof over the garage and kitchen. Charles accomplished all this for less than $7000.00! Due to the age of the home and the pine decking it was inevitable that there would be some splintering when the new shingles were nailed down. I did find a small area where there was a sizable chunk knocked out by nailing and Charlie made absolutely no qualms about repairing it with new wood, and he did! They showed up on time, were done in less than a day and all I had to do was sit back and watch, although we did get some gatorade and water for the crew during the day and some beer for the crew and Charlie when they were done. Cause that's how we roll. Our roof looks fantastic. The whole house looks so much better and updated. We are absolutely ecstatic! So take it from experience, if you want it done rite, Charlies is honest, fair and good at what he does and so are his workers. Do yourself a favor and save some time and contact Riteway the first time."
We are very happy with the outcome in our kitchen. We love granite countertops and cabinets. CJM helped selection process or directed us to suppliers for excellent support (and out come). The transformation opened up our kitchen and created a fresh look in our main floor
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing questions, answered by experts
Refacing cabinets is more cost-effective than total replacement and offers a refreshed look by simply replacing doors and hardware, and applying new surface veneers while retaining existing cabinet boxes.
Even the least DIY-savvy homeowner can replace cabinet hardware themselves. All you need is a drill, screwdriver, and a tape measure. However, always take the time to measure and fit carefully. Misalignment or dodgy drill holes can spoil the entire look of your cabinet makeover, and repairs or replacement cabinets can be costly.
Ensuring longevity involves using high-quality materials, carefully maintaining veneer surfaces, promptly repairing scratches or imperfections, and cleaning using appropriate solutions.
A kitchen remodel can be a major undertaking, depending on how much you change. If you’re changing the kitchen layout, you might be tempted to scrap everything and start fresh, but there are a few different ways to save money throughout the process.
Keep your existing cabinets and reface or repaint them
Consider choosing budget appliances and fixtures
DIY when possible, such as painting walls yourself
Choose prefabricated cabinets instead of custom cabinetry
Choose affordable flooring options where possible
On average, it costs about 30% to 50% less to reface than to replace custom or semi-custom cabinets. However, the most affordable cabinet replacement projects tend to cost about the same amount as the average cabinet refacing project. These are replacement projects that involve pre-made stock cabinet styles rather than custom designs.
