Kehlnhofer Custom Cabinets

I showed Brian my plans for two custom bedroom dressers and one large office wall cabinet that I designed and asked him to bid on these projects.   I was pleasantly surprised to find out the cost was only slightly more than I could have built them for myself, so I figured contracting him to do the work was a "no-brainer"  He patiently worked with us on the custom color "water-popped"  stain samples for the maple veneer plywood materials and the results exceeded our expectations.   They look fantastic!
Brian also suggested that I use Blum soft-close full extension drawer slides on all the drawers, and I am so happy I took his advice!
I will never go back to "basic" drawers with nylon slides or no slides at all.  These Blum slides are SMOOTH!!
He also utilized 3/4" thick plywood for all the pieces except the drawer bottoms as that would be over-kill.  These things are built like tanks and put commercially available furniture to shame!   I fully expect them to last the rest of my life and be handed down to my kids at some point.
My only regret is not having custom furniture made many years ago as I could have been enjoying it all these years.

Poor workmanship, even worse customer service. You're better off going with Ikea -a t least they stand behind their work & guarantees. This guy installed nearly $20,000 worth of cabinets in our kitchen. He by far was not the cheapest bid we got, but was a pretty smooth talker so I trusted him.  Within 9 months, the finish starting falling off, joints starting separating, crown molding falling away from the ceiling. He ignored us after he got his money and did not honor his 1 year guarantee.  Our cabinets are still falling apart.

I had 3 other industry professionals come to give a second opinion, I even had the paint manufacturer come to my home to do a paint sonogram, and they confirmed the finish wasn't applied correctly.  It would cost up to $8,000 for our repairs!!  Brian wouldn't stand behind his work to repair the finish or the splitting joints and falling crown.  He's supposed to have a 1 year workmanship.  Once he has his money, good luck getting resolution to any of your problems.

Brian was a great partner to work with. He came to the table with great ideas, but also was sure to bend his vision to our goals. He worked hard to accommodate our timeline and did what he said he would do when he said he would do it. He also helped connect us to some other vendors, but was great about working with some people that we selected. At the end of the project, post-payment, we asked for a few adjustments and he promptly came in and finished them. That shouldn't be exceptional, but we all know contractors who become ghosts when payment's been made. That was definitely not Brian. He made us feel like he cared about the project.  I wouldn't consider his work inexpensive, but for the quality of craftmanship and the ease of working with him, we thought it a great investment.

Brian was very easy to work with.  He is very detail oriented and first emailed renderings before coming out for an estimate.  He then gave measurement specifics at the time of my estimate so I was able to visualize the cabinets in my space.  His timeline was very quick and fit our schedule perfectly.  Would highly recommend!  The cabinets are very high quality. For us, it was the same price we would have paid for "pre made" units from a big box store, but obviously much higher quality.

Made custom stain to match the current trim exactly.  Fit and finish was perfect. 

There was a wide of stains and materials, in terms of wood, offered. He was very conscientious.

The job went very well.  Brian did excellent work.  The cabinetry was beautiful.  The cabinets are all in.  He needs to come back and just put the hardware on the doors.  I just got all the rest of the bathroom stuff finished.  I just sent him a note today requesting him to come back when he has a chance.  All the work he did was very professional.  He delivered when he said he would.  His price was competitive.  It wasn’t the cheapest, but he gave me the best detail on what he was exactly going to do.  I felt very comfortable with him.  I would definitely consider using him in the future.

I hired Brian as a subcontractor for my clients kitchen remodel. The cabinet estimate was very reasonable for the quality of work that Brian does. He is very prompt and does what he says he will do. We worked together on the layout of the new kitchen. We replaced old cabinets with new maple cabinetry. Brian builds cabinets in his shop first before he tears out the old cabinetry so the clients have less time without a kitchen and the inconvenience of that. He is very courteous and keeps a clean work area. I have hired him many times to build custom cabinetry and will use him in the future.

I told him what I needed and he pretty much came up with a plan. He showed me a couple of different samples of types of wood and gave me prices on all of them. When he actually did the measurements and had the exact price he called to confim it with me. I think the whole thing was done and ready to install within 5 or 6 weeks. It took him a whole day with a helper to install it. He was prompt, professional, and there were no hidden charges or surprises thoughout the whole process.

I had purchased a house whose birch kitchen cabinetry was beautiful, but worn and non-functional; the drawers wouldn't open, hinges were damaged, etc. I was referred to Brian by my decorator to see if we could salvage the cabinets since the wood and cabinets were carried throughout the house. I also had a tight time frame in which to move into the house. After much discussion, I contracted with Brian to build new cabinets. Brian worked closely with me and my decorator to ensure that, since we could not match the old cabinets, the new cabinets would blend with the rest of the wood trim in the house. Brian also agreed to complete the work within four weeks. The cabinets were delivered on schedule and are great; tons of storage and quiet, self closing doors. The drawers were beautiful too. The cabinets were stained to give the effect of a glaze (which I couldn't afford) and the finish work is excellent. We were so impressed we've scheduled Brian to build two entertainment centers for us.
