John responded quickly to my initial request and to every other text or call in a timely manner. He was professional and thorough. My refacing was time sensitive and John went above and beyond to get everything installed on time at no extra cost to me. The workers that came with him were all as friendly and respectful as he is. And the cabinets in both my kitchen and bathroom look fabulous. I cant say enough about what a great experience this has been.

John did an amazing job with refacing our kitchen. High quality and numerous options to choose from and the very detailed work he does primarily himself.

In our kitchen, John did custom cabinet facings for us, while also rearranging some things: turning a cabinet-then-pull

He's as picky as I am about getting things right, which is a good thing! We had all doors replaced, veneer done, countertops and backsplash replaced. John coordinated all the subcontractors which was really helpful. Though the project ran a little over time, it was for a good reason - some of the materials arrived with slight
