"The job was done professionally and I was always kept in the loop for scheduling and ensuing choices of supplies. I made the mistake of not getting a written estimate, so I was a bit surprised when I saw the bill. I was still very happy with the job and it's final outcome."
I am the owner of Stowebury Home & Grounds, a Waterbury, VT-based property care and construction company proudly serving clients within 50 miles of Waterbury. I bring hands-on craftsmanship — trained through Yestermorrow Design/Build School — to everything from handyman repairs and seasonal grounds care to custom carpentry and outbuildings. Our carpentry work spans interior and exterior projects, with a focus on sustainable materials wherever we can.\n\nWe do both structural builds and interior finish work — from custom workshops and barns built from the ground up, to interior carpentry including siding, decking, and flooring installation and repair. We also handle drywall installation and repair, from full rooms to patch-and-match jobs on existing walls, along with custom cabinetry and furniture built to fit each client's specific space and needs.
Working throughout New England, we specialize in customized home renovation and new construction from framing to finishing. Whether the project is a complete home renovation, a kitchen remodel, or a garden shed, we try to keep the project flexible and help clients realize the best version of their vision. Based out of our workshop in Vermont, we offer a range of services including framing, flooring, tile, finish carpentry, and more.
"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."
"If anyone is considering re-facing cabinets and/or adding custom cabinets, I would high recommend A Classic Kitchen Front. Joe took the time to visit our home (Low Pressure SaleâÂÂs) and price out our kitchen with an additional pantry cabinet the fit our budget. Tom and Anthony executed the plan without any flaws. At the end of each day they would explain what they did and what the next day would consist of. I did have many questions and they were both great and answering them. In addition to that if saw something I didnâÂÂt like they took the time to fix it. I would high recommend this company to anyone looking for this kind of service."
"Kevin and his daughter, Alene were dependable, professional and courteous. They knew what they were doing and made sure I got what i paid for. They were thorough, knowledgeable and very friendly. I definitely will use them again in the future.
Addendum:Kevin knew that I wanted my entire bedroom painted but I couldn't afford it. So he made an offer to do it at cost/half of what he would originally charge. He and his daughter, Alene came back on 1/16 &17th and completed the job. They did an excellent job and were very efficient. PS; if anyone gives this company a bad review, then it tells me that the customer is very anal and has unrealist expectations. Hopefully, I will be able to use them again, if financially able, to pain the outside of my house."

Like nearly any other upgrade, new and improved kitchen cabinets can increase your property value and make your home more attractive to potential buyers. After all, the majority of home buyers consider the kitchen to be one of the most important rooms in the house. New melamine cabinets can be a big plus, particularly if you select a classic wood grain or another light neutral color that provides a blank slate for other design elements.
The cost to install a kitchen island can range from $900 to $6,500, with an average price of around $4,800 for most homeowners. The final cost depends on whether you choose a prefabricated or custom-built option. It is generally cheaper to buy a prefabricated island than to build one from scratch. A budget-friendly prefabricated cart can cost between $150 and $900, while a permanent prefabricated stationary island costs from $900 to $5,000. Custom-built kitchen islands average $4,800 but can cost $10,000 or more, depending on factors like materials, size, design complexity, and accessibility.
In a kitchen installation, starting with the foundation and structural elements before moving on to the finishing touches is essential. Framing, plumbing, and utilities should go first, followed by cabinetry and countertops, then plumbing fixtures and new appliances. Flooring, paint, tile backsplashes, and similar finishing touches should get installed last.
Frameless cabinets fit the space-saving, minimalist attributes of European-style kitchens more than face frame models. That also makes them a good pick for apartments and dorms, as well as any more modern-style kitchen.
The time it takes to install new cabinets depends on the scope of the project. For a kitchen installation, you can expect the process to take anywhere from 2-5 days for a standard layout up to a couple of weeks for more complex projects, depending on the number of cabinets and the installation space. For a smaller project, such as installing cabinets in a bathroom, you can expect the work to take a week or less. Your cabinet installation expert will be able to provide you with a realistic timeframe.
