Get matched with top cabinet refacers and refinishers in Gloucester, VA

"The kitchen cabinet makeover came out stunning."

"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!"

"I bought an Ikea armoire and wanted it to match my bedroom furniture. I was told that it was difficult to make changes particularly painting Ikea furniture. I was pleasantly surprised when Metropolitan restoration Center offered me a reasonable price and more than delivered. Saying I'm pleased is not enough for the results. I have a very nice looking cabinet that matches quite nicely with the rest of my furniture. All of this done at a reasonable price!"

"Border was difficult to remove, but the tech did his best without damaging the walls. The three doors look great, although the top of the pediment over my front door didn’t get painted. I didn’t notice that until the next day, but I got up there and cleaned it myself, so it isn’t that noticeable."

"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."

"It was 2 brothers who showed up and they were so nice.  They were quick but did a great job! They even painted more than I expected - I would definitely hire them for more painting and other home improvement jobs!

"My kitchen looks great. The counter tops needed replacing, the cabinets were fading and coming off the walls in several places, I needed new appliances, and the walls and cabinets needed new paint and backsplash. Ryan’s remodeling took care of it all, and it looks as good as new! The guy was punctual, knowledgeable, and got it done in a weekend. I would definitely use them again for any other projects I have."

Family owned. We are willing to work whatever hours to get the job done on time and to the satisfaction of our customers.

"This is going to be a long and highly affirmative review. We knew 4 years ago we would renovate. We could not find a salesman that would really listen to our needs, design ideas and requests. Both of us previously had full equipped kitchens when we married. We kept everything because we liked it all. So our kitchen was VERY crowded. Our Remodel sales man : Chris Macey, actually listened and provided what WE wanted. Finally we had a place for everything. Now everything slides out w/ quiet close. A unique special addition was the "interior bay window". A window garden perfect for flowers, fresh herbs and spices and perfect for us. We finally had enough working spaces (5) for both of us to work in the kitchen simultaneously (gasp!). Even the dog has a feeding station. we have a dedicated "coffee station." I knew this job was going to be expensive, That's OK, we got top quality everything. Our Project Manager: Martin Slusarz, contacted us the next day to arrange for a meeting to review our selections and sign a contract. He offered some design insights that enhanced the concepts we had. He suggested we move the refrigerator across the room. It worked better for the over all design. So listen some times. Our top choice of cabinet design, hardware, pluming, 60-40 Sink, Marble counter tops, new LED recessed lighting sources in ceiling and under cabinets lights w/ individual control, outside exhaust Vent system, Prime glass Back Splash and Paint. It was all covered in specific detail and it hung together well as design. The Workers: Francisco, Crew head, Jose and Adam. I am really pleased with my crew. They were pleasant, industrious, skilled in the right way to do things. I know because I have 30+ years in construction and I know what should be done. The guys were like a ballet of skilled workers. Some times they would just get going and work as a team without speaking. I would sit in the next room (holding the dogs leash) and be able to watch their progress. They would keep in touch with calls, letting me know what their arrival schedule was for that day. I would make a daily to do list of questions and process. That was reviewed and my questions were answered. I am still very impressed with my crew. The down sides: There were a few schedule glitches in the process. The special order interior Bay Window was back ordered for weeks. Martin does not start a project until all the parts are in the shop. That kept the project on hold until after the New Year. We had a place for working storage. Demo was scheduled and it took only a few hours to empty out the space. Amazing. Just stay clear and let 'em work. FYI The install worked from the top down. All the upper cabs then the floor units. Electrical and Lighting were done at the same time. Once the lower cabs were installed the marble counter man came in to measure. Then there was a day or two break waiting for the custom counter top to come in. Surprise, they called on Friday evening asking if they could install the counter top on Saturday. Two guys did the marble counter top install. Flush, level, perfect work on a Saturday morning, The bay window arrived a few days later and it was delivered and installed by a specialist from the company. It was fun to watch it go in. Then the glass back splash was extended into the bay window and that became a cost plus item. Final comments: The Job is high quality, simple clean and understated design. Now everything has a home and somehow the Kitchen seems much bigger. That still amazes me. Double the cabinet space but more room? We are really please with the whole project. It was definitely not the low bid and I am quite glad we went with top/shelf, high quality everything. My brides final comment is she wants to adopt our crew. Offer your crew morning coffee and a clean place to eat lunch. That type of simple kindness pays off. Expe..."
