Cabinet Refresh

Scott and Nathan were professional, responsive and overall a pleasure to work with. The crew showed up on time or early each day, and the job was finished in the exact time promised. They did such a good job on the bathroom cabinets we asked them to do two additional bathrooms, which was also completed without extending the time frame of the original job. The quality of work is excellent, the crew is respectful and tries to keep the workspace as neat as possible.

I would say this was a very easy and good job well done,

Wonderful crew! Wonderful job! Dealing with everyone in company extremely professional.

Our natural maple cabinets had been through 22 years of adults, children, and pets and some of the doors were quite beat up looking. The end result was close to amazing (hard to say amazing when referring to a cabinet refresh but hmm, this is close.) The process that Scott and his crew follow to remove, clean, stain, and coat the cabinets is extremely efficient (meaning that the down time for you is minimized) and effective. Scott also did a great job with arriving at the cherry color for our maple cabinets that my husband and I wanted (combination of cherry and rosewood). He did several samples until we were completely satisfied with the color. Scott was also able to match the stain for the bifold doors even though they were not maple wood (they were douglas fir and matching color through staining is not a given with different woods (in our case, douglas fir and natural maple). The man has talent here. His crew was always pleasant and extremely hard working. Scott also came back and completely satisfied our list of minor tweaks. My husband and I would not hesitate to recommend Scott for anyone looking to have their cabinets refreshed.

He let me take my time deciding on the drawer faces- his website offers a huge selection of drawer fronts and woods to choose from. That was the hardest part. Once I made my decision, Scott made sure to let me know how long it would all take, then he was ready to install on the day he told me. His team came in, did a perfectly clean and professional install and cleaned up after themselves. Oh, and they re-used and discounted me on my drawer sliders- since they were in good shape and didn't need to be replaced, and Scott brought that to my attention and took a hundred dollars off my contract. I was impressed by his honesty. I was and remain extremely impressed. Beautiful work, well done and I will most definitely call them again in the future.

Ditto to all previous reviewers. Scott and his crew are amazing. My cabinets were originally installed in the 80's and while they are high quality they were dated with a white wash finish and a bit worn to boot. For years I had wanted to do something but feared a bad paint job would render them worse off. Then I found Cabinet Refresh and gave them a call. Scott came out, assured me the paint job would last and that the cabinets will be beautiful. I scheduled the job for 3 months ahead to get past the holidays and coincide with a business trip for my husband so he wouldn't be subjected to the paint fumes. On day one Scott and his men arrived on time and immediately got to work. It took 5 days to do the job but all is perfect and wonderful and I am so happy with my "new" cabinets.

Very helpful,but I have been going back and forth about refacing instead. I am still in the process of researching my options.

I am delighted with my new cabinets! Scott and his crew refinished and provided new Shaker-style cabinet doors for my 1959-era cabinets. The crew was pleasant, efficient, and thorough in cleaning up afterwards.

Scott and his crew were extremely professional and competent. My kitchen cabinets were the least expensive cabinets that the builder could install and finished with a very clear finished that had yellowed and completely worn off in spots during the past 15 years. I thought that I would have to replace the doors, but Scott assured me that the doors would look fine when refinished. The doors look more than fine - they look better than I ever thought possible. I chose a dark cherry stain with a matte finish. The finished project gives the kitchen an entirely new look for a fraction of the cost of new cabinets and even made the white tile counter acceptable (at least until I decide what kind of counter I want). I also was extremely happy that the job was completed in two days, especially since I have a lots of cabinets in the kitchen. I will be using Scott and his crew again to refinish the bathroom cabinets and linen cabinet doors at the end of February. I also have recommended him to several of my friends and colleagues.

We are very pleased with their work and the professionalism of their staff.

This business runs like clockwork. Our estimate from Carol was painless and accurate. She arrived on time as did Scott and his crew. The crew were very professional and conscious of cleanliness and their dust. They identified and confirmed the fact we did not want a color change on our wood and specified the finish, in our case a Matte. Our cabinets are white oak and around 25 years of age. They suffered from the normal wear and tear encountered while raising a family. The end result for us were cabinets in both the bathroom and the kitchen that look showroom new. The finish is impeccable and the attention to detail is very good. They also refinished our stair banister which looks brand new. Scott and his crew are extremely professiional, very conscious of cleanliness, even removing their shoes in the house, and just thoroughly professional. If we had other projects for them, I would hire them back in a minute. They are worth every penny that we spent. They are very comfortable to be around.

Scott was very professional in his assessment of the problem with our damages shelf/countertop and suggested a practical and economical solution. His work was top class and done quickly and efficiently. The finished product exceeded our expectations for appearance and finish. I would not hesitate to use Scott again and have already recommended him to friends looking to redo the cabinets in their kitchen.

I found Cabinet Refresh on Angie's List. My cabinets are over 30 years old but the footprint is not bad. The style was dated and the finish was worn. Scott, the owner, came out soon after my initial call and gave me his opinion on what would look best. . He was right!! I took his advice and selected white-white for my new cabinet doors and drawer fronts. It looks great! One of my main concerns was the time it would take to complete the project. Scott said 3 days and it was 3 days. Scott and his crew arrived each day on time. I was amazed at the amount of work they got done on the 1st day. They have their system down to a science, each employee has a distinct responsibility and the process works great. Once they started installing the doors and drawer fronts I could not believe the transformation. It was incredible!! Scott has a great eye for how things should look and frankly I was surprised at some of his innovations. I have four small drawers on one side of my dishwasher. Scott spaced the 1st and second drawer exactly the same as the spacing on the cabinet under my sink. It was not done that way originally but it looks fantastic. Small details like that were not missed. Scott is most concerned with making the project look great. You don't have to worry about him taking shortcuts. Much to my amazement Scott dropped by several times a day. Any concern, large or small, he addressed immediately. There were details that I could have lived with even thought it was not part of the original plan. Scott noticed the discrepancy and it was fixed immediately. Anything I asked for - Scott took care of it. I made a couple of changes after seeing the finished product. No problem. Changes were made. I am extremely pleased with the results!! It's amazing what Scott and his crew can do in 3 days!! My neighbors have been over to see the results and at least one will b calling Scott soon. I plan to have him come back and work his magic on my 2 bathrooms. It's so easy. Just look at the pictures. UPDATE: The kitchen is done. Finally completed the countertop. Selected Cambria on Scott's recommendation and I don't think I could be happier with the overall result. It looks fantastic!!

Scott the guy who runs the company is very professional and very interested in making me happy and were kind polite and clean. He did it in the amount of days the six days that he said it would be completed and he was a dream in making sure everything I wanted had a positive answer and the end result was perfection. I will definitely reccomend him to anyone. i tell Scott that if any of his future customers want to come in and take a look at what was done they are more than welcome. Again highlight very talented and I would gladly accept phone calls from any potential future customers.

Of all the contractors we worked with to update our home, Carol and her crew were by far the best, and the only ones I would recommend to friends or family. Originally we were going to have the cabinets stripped and re-stained, but the stripping process revealed that was not a possibility with our current cabinets. I was very disappointed, but the crew quickly painted three different sample doors for me to show what they could do to get a rich wood like look. They were very responsive to my input, and very patient, the results were far better than I was expecting. The work was done quickly, everyone showed great flexibility, and with the work they did, it looks like I have a new home.

The project went wonderfully! We had just purchased the house and the cabinets, while in good condition, showed a lot of wear, tear, and scratches. Also the house felt dark because of so much dark wood. Having just purchased the house, we couldn't afford a whole kitchen renovation, so we decided to refinish the cabinets. I searched several providers on Angie's list and got a few quotes. The quotes were comparable. We were also looking for a little design help and Scott (the owner) came out to give us an estimate and we talked through a few ideas. They were a little backed up so we waited a month before starting the project. The project took about 4 - 5 days, but it turned out wonderfully. We would come home each night and marvel at how much progress had been made. Towards the end, we started marking up the cabinets for touch up and the crew didn't seem to mind. Scott was just as interested with the finish as we were and would also point out various places that needed touch up. Scott provided a little side consultation on the hardware and due to the delay in shipment, his crew had to came back later to install the remaining knobs and pulls. Also, we received great customer service. We weren't initially happy with the quality of the new pantry drawers (they seemed a little flimsy, created with a staple gun rather than dovetail construction that I had expected from watching design shows). He understood our concern and replaced the drawers. Overall, we are very happy with the results. It feels like an entirely new kitchen. Love it and we would definitely use Cabinet Refresh again.

As we're readying our condo for sale, we were looking at several options on updating our cabinet doors. The doors themselves were fine, but the DIY paint finish looked terrible. Scott and Cabinet Refresh came to the rescue and gave us exactly what we needed - a professional finish without having to completely replace our existing doors. Scott's got a busy schedule but took on our smaller condo project quickly and was able to fit us into his calendar. He was responsive and communicative, there was never an issue getting him on the phone. The whole process only took a day and a half, and we were thrilled with the results. His crew also went above and beyond making sure things looked right -- if a cabinet interior needed to be painted, they did it. Our cabinets also suffered from a worn and battered toe-kick around the whole kitchen, and Scott's crew re-built and re-painted it. It looks fantastic now. Thank you Scott! This process was so quick and painless I feel like we should have done it years ago. It always seemed like such a formidable project to take on, but Cabinet Refresh made it simple.

I met with Scott at the appointed time.. I explained that I remodeling the entire rental unit and was interested in upgrading the kitchen cabinets. After inspecting the cabinets he recommended that I replace all the doors and the drawers and stain the frame to match. He was friendly and knowledgeable and answered all my questions in a timely manner. When ever I had a concern, Scott addressed it quickly. Since I was planning on replacing the counter tops (separate contractor) I asked Scott to demo the countertops/back splash prior to staining the cabinet frame since I had yet to decide on material or style for then new countertops and backsplash and did not want any portion of the old cabinet stain visible if for what ever reason the new top did not cover the same area along the edge of the cabinets. The demo was done quickly and the cleanup was excellent. I subsequently ask Scott about replacing the the hallway cabinet doors.. He made the recommendation to split the existing door design in to two pieces to allow easier access as the hallway was narrow. I agreed and the doors turned out perfect. All the cabinet work turned out great and could not have been happier. I would recommend Cabinet Refresh to anyone..

This company did a fantastic job in my kitchen! The new doors and drawer fronts look fabulous and flawless. They replaced my drawers and drawer slides so they actually work properly. They also fixed the "lazy susan" in the corner so it turns smoothly. The job was done in 3 days. 2 days were working days and 1 day we waited for a few more doors to arrive. I couldn't be happier with Carol and Scott's professionalism and knowledge. The foreman and other carpenters were friendly and polite and cleaned the site when they left. You should hire these folks. I'm glad I made the call.

Our kitchen cabinets were a dark brown oak of about 30 years age, making our kitchen look dark and dated. What an amazing transformation when painted a lacquer white! Scott was very accommodating in rescheduling our work around other contractors. In addition, the crew did a marvelous job of painting our golden oak staircase which had yellowed. We had the stair railings, treads, and newel posts painted expresso brown with the balusters and risers white. Needless to say this was a very demanding task, but all went smoothly. It was a pleasure to work with Scott and Carol and I can enthusiastically recommend them.

Three years before, right after purchasing our first house, we were put off the idea of refacing our cabinets after receiving a high cost quote from Home Depot. I think it was around15 K for doors, no counter and few if any extras. This time, I chose two designers/craftsmen from Angie's List and Reborn, a large, highly commercialized refacing company. Upon reviewing the three quotes we received, asking for the same styles, color etc from each, I realized that the quotes were not nearly as close in price as I would have guessed. The first quote by Reborn was the highest quote by about 5K, so about 14 K as opposed to around 9K, (Scott?s quote) and that did not include molding, painting insides of all cabinets, removing a section of old wallpaper and repainting the kitchen walls and ceiling, creating several large pull out drawers, and special attention to the bay window in the kitchen, The second quote was close to 5 1/2 K but included only the doors, no paint, no door pulls, no special drawers. Both of these quotes included the use of thermafoil. Scott's quote came last. Scott preferred to paint the existing cabinets and paint crafted solid maple doors. His quote was in the middle, price wise. The service and the expertise offered however, was not somewhere in the middle and that is why we choose him over the others. Scott?s mother Carol was always pleasant and helped communication run smoothly. Scott arrived and thoroughly assessed the kitchen, the age and style of the house and my preference in style for the kitchen. Rather than bring a large samples doors to choose from, he suggested that a simple, classic door that was in keeping with the style of the house. While we discussed our ideas and thoughts, it became clear that Scott was really into designing the kitchen to its best effect and rather than asking me for a whole bunch of questions about choices, or extolling the virtues of a special door hinge, focused on how we could bring about a transformation of our 80?s styled kitchen and make it fresh, functional and current. By the time he left, we knew we had met the man for the job.Scott arrived one more time after we accepted his bid and took a few more precise measurements, clarifying a few details with me in the process. The first day was a whirlwind. Scott and his team arrived exactly when they said they would and went right to work. By the end of the day all doors and drawers drawers were off, the range hood and upper cabinet were gone and a stack of nice custom made maple doors, freshly sanded and painted, were stacked in a work area in the driveway. Several more sandings and coatings would follow. The next few days were much the same; the workers arrived on time and went straight to work. The communications between Scott and his team showed that Scott had a good team and that they all worked very well together. They removed some stubborn old wallpaper, painted the walls and ceiling, even painted the dirty looking brown grout on our white tile counter a bright white, which really lifted and improved the look of the counters. This is great because it bought me time to research and choose the best countertop for the new kitchen. The bay window with all the panes, were old and worn. By the time they were done scrubbing and painting them with great care, the windows looked new. Wow. Then came the door handle incident. Scott had been as kind as to let me tag along with him as he searched for the right kind of pulls for the kitchen doors. We agreed on a well priced style but it was only available in oiled bronze. I waffled a bit on the color, but we agreed it would look great. However, my family had a change of heart and now wanted the brushed silver pulls. That would have been OK except for a few things. Scott?s team was so fast that by the time I could tell them that we wanted different pulls; they were installing the last of the bronze pulls. The second issue was that we could not find the brushed silver pulls anywhere. Scott told me not to worry, he would find them. And, after zipping around to not one or two stores but a few more than that, he found them! By the time I came home from work, the bronze pulls were off, the silver ones were on. They were all smiles at the fact that they had found and installed the new pulls in record time. Now, where can you find THIS kind of dedication and service with a smile? The end result was amazing. Big change. Gone are the very outdated, pickled cabinets, awful pulls, and hard to get to spaces, What we have now is a bright, clean and much more functional kitchen . We are very happy with the results. In summary, I give Scott, Carol, and his workmen the highest rating possible. What a great team! Photos to follow.

Scott from cabinet refresh was great to work with and delivered an amazing looking kitchen refresh. The work was completed on time and any small issue that popped up during the work was quickly dealt with. The end result was a new-looking kitchen with much more usable space and higher quality draws/cupbords that still fitted the overall '50s style of our house.

It all started with a phone call to Carol. After reading all the great reviews, I called Carol. She was very sweet and personable. She explained that Scott would be contacting me to make an appt. for an estimate. We bought the house in March. We were having a lot of work done to the inside as well as the outside of the house. Scott came in and gave us the estimate and we agreed to have the work done. I was very surprised to see Scott doing a lot of the work himself. When I first met Scott I thought that this is the guy who makes sure the workers do their job. But to my surprise, he wasn't just the boss. He got down to work with the rest of the crew. Scott even worked around all the other work we were having done. He made great professional suggestions and even picked out my pulls and knobs. He was gracious, polite, and professional. He even satisfied my husband, who is very picky and demanding when it comes to hiring a professional. The whole time Scott was able to calm his fears and promised he wouldn't leave until my husband was happy. Scott and his team were great and I would recommend them to anyone looking to update their kitchen.

Scott was prompt, squeezed my job in early and gave me a very reasonable price. And he has a great eye, aesthetically, and made some helpful suggestions. The workmen were very experienced, professional and super nice guys. And my cabinets look terrific!!! I am a super happy customer.

I contacted cabinet refresh through Angie's list and due to the very good reviews. Carol came out first..took some measurements. next day Scott came out and we discussed exactly what would look best..he recommended the white oak cabinet and it turned out to be a good choice. The day after his visit, he e-mailed me the price and I was quite pleased. His 3 man crew arrived both days right on time. They were courteous and took care to make sure no damage was done. I had a total of 28 doors and drawers which was a lot in a small kitchen. Because there was no area in which to paint the doors and drawers, Scott and two of his crew took them to his place in venice and did them there. Only glitch..and it was minor..was that one door had to be redone, but not due to any error on Scott's part. The crew brought it two days later and completed that within a few minutes. I am pleased with my new kitchen..it has a totally changed look. I am happy to have had this done, and I'd recommend them in an instant.
