Working with the Kitchen Doctor was great. I was treated well from bid to install. The install was on time and the crew was very clean. I really appreciate a business that treats the customer well. I have referred Kitchen Doctor to my own father to reface his kitchen cabinets. He was also pleased with the pricing and quality of install. Thanks Kitchen Doctor!

We knew several people who had used the Kitchen Doctor with good results, and the price they quoted was very competitive. They worked professionally and efficiently to completely redo our kitchen and other parts of our house with new custom cabinets, flooring, lighting, appliances, etc. We are very happy with the end result.
Description of Work: We hired the Kitchen Doctor to do a complete kitchen overhaul for us. They removed our old kitchen and installed a new custom kitchen. They also redid a wet bar area and installed canned lighting elsewhere in the house.

Description of Work: I has a nice conversation with the owner, and as a result he sent over his customer service guy to measure and give me an estimate of the work. The owner encouraged me to get an estimate saying I would be pleasant surprised at the price they could offer me when compared against the "semi custom" cabinet product I was considering. | |The customer service guy called several days later, and when I informed him that there was a very big difference in price between The Kitchen Doctor and another cabinet maker I received an estimate from, he proceeded to try to scare me into using their services by suggesting that the product I was considering was made in China and would "fall apart" within months. As it turned out the cabinet maker I ended up using was made in the USA and of high quality construction. | |I do not appreciate scare tactics. Their estimate was over $5000 more from the other estimate I received, and after adjusting for the cost of installation. If they wanted to come closer in price, that was up to them. But to suggest that I was looking at a product made in a foreign country and suggestion that that particular cabinet would "fall apart" was both dishonest and slimy. | |I would never use or recommend a company that practiced such vulgar sales tactics.

The experience was really good. They were really patient when we went down to their place and looked at different types of sample. Then they came out with different types of samples and suggestions. We told them what kind of paint color we like and they did a sample. The sample that they showed us what we liked, they cut it and signed off on it. They cut it half so that they had the sample and we had the sample. They did the replacement for us as well as refaced the bottom cabinets and custom the top because they couldn't do the custom on the bottom as we had already brought the granite. So they did both for us and they did a great job on those. When they brought out the new cabinets- the top part and the door, the stain was a little different than what the sample was. So we took a picture of the sample next to it and they said we were right and they came back out, picked them all up and put another a top coat with a bit of little tint in it and it was perfect. They didn't complaint and nothing. It was very nice. We ended up doing in all of them and it looks fabulous. We love it. They did a really good job of installation, very nice. We are real particular and it was really good. We were really impressed with the work that they did. They were so good that after six months we had them come in and do our laundry room and our small bathroom with the same stuff. We were very happy with them. Their price was also very good as we looked at other prices and we liked the quality that they had. With their own company they really had pride in what they did. We would recommend them in a heartbeat. We really liked them a lot. We had stainless steel appliances, granite and all this stuff already there and there were never any damage or issue and they were very careful.

He was able to come into a preexisting kitchen remodel which had not been finished before we bought the home, and finished the molding around the cabinets Ordinarily this would not have been a complicated job, however whoever installed the cabinets did not mount them properly and it was impossible to reinstall the cabinets without having to do some major rework. He was able to work around the problems and still make it look right thought it isn't. Excellent job considering what he had to work wit

The sales rep was very helpful. He provided suggestions for better usage of space and doors styles and colors. I wanted to save my granite counter top so I was thinking of resurfacing everything. He noted that we could get all new upper cabinets and then resurface the bottoms cabinets and get new doors and drawers. For just a little more money I got the new upper cabinets. The estimate was 1/2 of my estimate from Home Depot. The crew was professional and courteous. They installed my entire kitchen in just 4 days! I couldn't be happier with the job. My new cabinets are beautiful!
Description of Work: Installed new upper cabinets in my kitchen. Also resurfaced bottoms cabinets and installed new doors and drawers.

They did a great job fabricating our new maple cabinets at a very reasonable price. They did our neighbors' kitchen, so we were confident in their abilities, and they didn't disappoint. Their installation team was friendly and responsive and very experienced. They also worked with us on a number of special requests, and when we wanted a few extra shelves or minor modifications, they were happy to do them with no extra charge.
