Mike Dickinson made our cabinets 3 years ago so this review long overdue. We had a complete kitchen remodel done and worked with Mike on every detail of what we wanted. Our kitchen was on the small side so we wanted to make the best use of every inch we had and Mike was able to fine tune the design to maximize the storage and functionality of our work space. I have to say that after 3 years everything still looks and performs like new and we are people that really use our kitchen several times a day every day for meal preparation. I would use them again in a heartbeat. Today we still look at

We needed a small vanity for our smallest bathroom, but the prefab cabinets were so tiny that they didn't maximize use of the limited space in our bathroom. So we contacted Dickinson Cabinetry for a custom cabinet. Truly customized. We got to choose the exact size, type of wood, stain, number of drawers, you name it. Mike was even willing to speak with our contractor to make sure the plumbing would all fit correctly too! We had this cabinet installed 2 years ago. This photo is from today. It still looks beautiful!

Thanks for all the help and looking forward to more projects with Dickinson Cabinetry in the future.

Mine was a pretty small job. We had a small nook in the mudroom area that was pretty unusable. My designer suggested Dickinson when I said I'd like to fill the space with a high/low cabinet pair. They came out and measured for the order. Took a little bit of time because of the pandemic shutdown, but I was fine with that. The delivered cabinets are made as per their website and are very solid and professionally painted. I like the result. Their cost is fairly high, but I believe I got proper value for my money. My one warning is they don't do installation or countertops so you need to be the prime

Requested a quote and initially they seemed to be interested. Who ever I was interacting with lost interest and never got back to me with an answer. I guess they thought I wasn't worth the money and I couldn't even get that response from them. Very unprofessional. Not worth it.

I ordered a custom bookshelf at Dickinson Cabinetry last year. I loved how quickly they always responded me, and top of anything, the quality of the bookshelf they made! I ordered a bookshelf which fits the entire wall of my study and now every single guest who visits my house is wowed by its outcome. The owner, Michael was the first one who replied to my inquiry which I sent to five different companies through Yelp while some didn't reply after a week. When I visited his shop and factory, the carpenters were working very responsibly and all the products seemed beautiful and cared to their
