Get matched with top cabinet makers in Fort Eustis, VA

"We were looking to refresh and update the look of our 21-year-old kitchen and master bathroom for resale but did not have the budget for replacing the cabinets. Our actual cabinets were still in great shape, but the outsides looked dated and had some problem areas. We opted for refacing, which puts a new surface on existing cabinets and replaces doors and hardware. We also replaced our laminate countertops with granite and under mount sinks. After comparing other companies, we chose Kitchen Tune-Up. We worked with Mark Levy, who directed and arranged the entire process. He explained the procedure step-by-step. We made our 50% down payment in mid May and our final payment in mid August. The entire process took a little longer than we expected. There was a point at which we believe we got “lost in the cracks.” Jim did the actual refacing and installing and his work was very professional. He took great care to satisfy us. He always made very efficient use of his time and cleaned up afterwards. In the process, we had to provide the new kitchen faucet, which we had already bought, and then choose the granite and sink from BBG in Newport News. We also drove out to Richmond to choose which granite slab we wanted. When the granite was being installed, only two people were sent. They were obviously struggling to maneuver 800 lbs. of granite into place. We did have to pay extra to have some sheetrock repaired after it was damaged by the granite installation in the bathroom. We also had two more cabinets refaced in other bathrooms. Anyway, both the kitchen and master bath look really great! They just look brighter, newer and definitely more up-to-date! We are very happy at how it all turned out!"

"Excellent work/service job on my cabinet microwave the contractor was prompted and efficient in his job thank you"

"We love our cabinets! They look fantastic while remaining affordable. The friendly staff at AWD helped us from start to finish. They are very knowledgeable and gave us advice and tips when needed. They were receptive and patient with our ever-changing needs. Once we finalized our purchase, we received our cabinets within two weeks! The cabinets are very sturdy and the color is beautiful. The hinges and hardware are high quality. We are extremely pleased with AWD and would recommend them to any friends or family looking for good cabinets at a fair price."

"I couldn't be happier with the service! I requested the entertainment center to have the same look and finish as some other furniture i previously owned and it matches perfectly! I highly recommend his service!"

"The good:
- The people were friendly for the most part
- They did good work in some ways
- Their subcontractors did good work
- They gave us a quartz counter top "for free" for our desk
- They did a couple extra things without charging us
- Everything looks good (if you don't look too closely)
The bad:
- I did not like the communication in the beginning, but I hoped, based on the reviews they got, that they would do a good job. I was disappointed with a lot of things - see below.
- I had to prepare my own detailed cost estimate (based on their difficult to understand e-mails) and get them to let me know if my estimate was correct or not. They would only give me a lump sum price and very little detail on what I was getting.
- They seemed to have never worked with the Cabinet Factory before. It was almost impossible to get any information about the cabinets we bought prior to signing a contract. Neither Get It Done (GID) or the Cabinet Factory wanted to talk to us about them. In the beginning I asked for no fiberboard and ended up with lots of fiberboard. Also, GID apparently does not know what fiberboard is - they were trying to tell me the kick-boards were not fiberboard (they are). The cabinets seem pretty low quality although at the time I was told by the Cabinet Factory that the cabinets I was getting were good quality and approaching the cost of the high end cabinets. One of the sliders in the pantry broke right away because there was too much weight. I never had this problem with my previous cabinets.
- They used wax crayon as paint in many locations on the cabinets. This is bad because it is not intended as paint, it is sticky, and wipes off easily.
- They told me it would be $100 more per fixture (about $1000) for LED under cabinet lighting. I still don't understand why they say it costs that much more. The lights they installed get very hot.
- There was very little attention to detail. They were going to stop the peninsula cabinets about 6 inches short of the end of the floor tile. It would have looked really silly - fortunately, I caught it in time and got them to adjust it.
- They put two joints in my crown molding about 12 inches apart and did a poor job with the joints. It looks very bad.
- The painting of the walls was bad. They missed lots of areas and they wanted me to mark all the areas they missed for them.
- They did not plan out the closet desk and shelves well at all. I told them I wanted a shelf for a TV, and they gave me shelves that weren't wide enough. Then they rigged it to work after lots of discussion.
"

"That went very well. They came out and they painted the room. They were done in about an hour and a half. It was really good quality work."

"It went beautifully! It looks wonderful and he did a great job! They've done quite a bit of work for me before and they excel in performance every time."

"Douglas Denney was fast, flexible, friendly and affordable I would definitely recommend."
