High Country Refacing

Kent Tullis is an artist on cabinet refacing work. He replaced our water-damaged maple drawer and door fronts in the kitchen with lustrously beautiful stain + polyurethane finished new ones. He even built a spacer board and extended cabinet doors above our refrigerator to fill a gap above it. Everything looks brand new and exceeds the quality of our original cabinets! Kent also refaced and repaired both bathroom cabinets, which had sustained similar water damage on an inadequate original finish. He replaced double pull-down drawer faces on one cabinet with a single board and improved the spring mechanisms on this drawer. In other words, when you hire Kent you're hiring a true craftsman who can give you better than original quality results. Invaluable and strongly recommended!

Kent/High Country was great to work with. His work ethics, punctuality and quality is top notch professionalism. My wife and I could not be any more satisfied. 5 out of 5, 10 out of 10 star rating! Pictures of before and after available upon request. EXCELLENT JOB KENT!

I was dreading this project and concerned that it would look 2nd class. Kent Tullis did an amazing job. The cabinets look original. His actual time on site was less than a week. He used our garage for his work room, which was fine with us. He was pleasant and very professional. We got several bids. His was on the lower end. We could not have been more pleased.

Kent was incredible! The cherry cabinets he created for our home blew me away! He crafts the cabinets himself rather than buying premade ones, he does all installation and staining, and he does it in half the time of anyone else! (Did I mention at about 30% less than our other lowest quote?). We are beyond delighted and would 100% recommend him to others looking to do a reface. We will definitely be hiring him again!

Kent did an amazing transformation of our bad 80s cabinets to beautiful updated cherry cabinets without breaking our bank. A true craftsman who I would hire again in a minute. He worked with us to help choose the stain color of our choice. He reconfigured and rebuilt 3 sets of lower cabinets and turned them into drawers banks, added raised panels to the sides of peninsula for an high end look, added crown molding, all new drawer boxes, all new cherry cabinet door/drawer fronts, etc... Any obstacle was easily overcome. I couldn’t be happier with the job he did. Recommend getting on his calendar today.

Just hire this guy. Period. End of story. I had six other companies come to my house for bids on this job. Kent was the most professional, the most thorough, the most responsive, and the least expensive. He was the only one who bid the actual job, unlike the others who bid what they thought we should be able to pay by the looks of your house. Kent's bid came in at less than 1/2 of what the others estimated, which is what seemed fair to me. He is easy to work with and a true craftsman. You know how, when you're doing a project and things just rarely ever go without a hitch? Well, Kent is such an expert and you can tell he has seen everything that he just knows what to do in those "oh oooohhhh" moments. I cannot recommend him more highly. My sister just hired him to do her kitchen, too. Seriously...JUST HIRE HIM!

Keith is the ultimate craftsman businessman. Has a helpful website; quickly responds; provides a straight-forward estimate and helpful suggestions; arrives when he says he will; finishes work when he says he will; and does extremely good work. Highly recommend!

Very well. Kent really improved the appearance of our house, especially the kitchen. Well worth the money. The hardest part is waiting to see the final results. Kent came to our house with finish samples and door design drawings. We decided what we wanted and he drew up a plan and gave us a quote. When it was time to do the work, he was on time, kept the impact on our home to a minimum and took time to really clean up when he was done. He was very easy to work with and professional in every way. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to improve the look of their kitchen or other cabinets.

It all went according to our plan. Kent was very reliable and talented. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for cabinets making or refacing. A quality craftsman and a man of his word.

The cabinets look spectacular. I had a variety of colors to choose from and Kent walked me through some additional options that I asked for. He was super fair, honest and did a wonderful job. At the end, he didn't just walk away either. I had a hinge on a cabinet that I need him to look at and he came out the very next day. More than that....I had my granite installed and had a challenge when I bought a sink that we too large for my special "tippy" drawers next to the sink. He came back out and fixed that - when it really was a sink issue. He has been wonderful!

Kent does beautiful work. He is always on time, and competes the work on time. I love my 2 new bathroom cabinets.

No problems. Worker arrived on time, had a pair of hinges with him and replaced the broken hinge. Estimate for possible future services done quickly

Kent did a great job in renovating the look of our kitchen: He changed the doors of all cabinets and the face of the drawers in the kitchen and all the bathrooms of the house , He also added some cabinets in the living room and some glassed doors in the dining room. We had picked a cherry wood for the job and the final look is beautiful. He was very punctual and professional in his work, even starting the project on a Sunday. The whole thing took 6 days, we were able to use the kitchen on and off during that time. I would definitely call Kent again for any cabinet work.

Even though this was a very small job, Kent agreed to stop by the house and look at my problem. While there he got all doors in good working condition. Kent is obviously committed to helping people with good service. I highly recommend him.

When we were looking to sell our house, I found Kent here on Angie's List. The quality of his work was superior bar none. He is always on time and keeps to all committed time frames. It was amazing how he could take my idea for what I needed done to change the cabinets from dated 80s to looking far better than I imagined. Most everyone thought the cabinets were brand new and had just been installed. We were so impressed with Kent's cabinetry work that we also hired him as our real estate agent. With his help and a modern looking kitchen we sold our house in just one day. We highly recommend Kent!

The previous owner of my house painted the kitchen cabinets and doors a green and cream combination. The doors were oak and so they lost all hints of wood grain and everything shows brush strokes throughout. I have a huge slab of granite so could not find anyone who would replace the cabinets for fear of breaking and being responsible for the granite. So my only two options were to re-paint and apply a glaze with new doors or re-face the existing cabinets and get new doors. I did a lot of research on re-facing vs. painting/staining and out of six different contractors/companies who supplied quotes, Kent from High Country Refacing offered the best solution at the best price. Many re-facing places use a sticky laminate which can peel or bubble over time. Kent uses ¾” real wood for all the doors and drawer fronts and uses ¼” real wood for the cabinet fronts and trim. He cuts, sands and stains all this himself. Kent is a true craftsman at what he does and his work is immaculate. He offered suggestions on style and color as well as wood choice. He was always on time and very polite and respectful. He finished the project early as he said it would be about five days and it ended up only taking about three days. I was able to use the kitchen the entire time he was working so the project didn’t put me out in any way. The end result surpassed my expectations and the re-faced cabinets are beautiful. The coloring and type of wood he suggested worked extremely well with my existing granite and tile (alder wood with cherry stain). In addition, his work is guaranteed for life. He said if I had any issues at all, I only had to call. I highly recommend Kent at High Country Refacing. You will not be disappointed in the quality of the work or the value for the price.

We got quotes from several other cabinet refacers including a well regarded local guy and the Home Depot. Both quoted prices approximately 30-40% higher than what Kent did. For us, it wasn't about getting the cheapest guy around, but getting the best value for our money and Kent really came through. First and most importantly, we found his customer service is second to none. He is easy to reach by phone, responds promptly to messages, shows up when he says he will and follows through on everything he promises. He went out of his way to accommodate our schedule, coming by several times on Sundays all the way from Elizabeth, to show us custom samples he made and take measurements. We had no qualms about giving him the keys so he could come and go while we weren't home. In today's world where subcontracting and outsourcing dominate the construction industry, Kent really stands apart. First off, he is the sole owner/operator and works alone, so he is the only person you will deal with. Second, for many people doing cabinet work, the manufacturing of the doors and drawers is outsourced to a large manufacturing plant that mass produces and ships them to the contractor. Kent actually hand-makes all of the doors and drawer fronts in his own shop which none of the other refacers we looked into do. Another great think about Kent was he was willing to do some custom touches that the other guys were hesitant to take on. He seamlessly blended the new kick panels with our existing base boards and trim, and cut off some faux decorative legs and moldings on the existing cabinets we didn't like. He also custom build an end-cabinet to store books and decorative items. In the end, the project took exact a week as he said it would and was as painless as possible. Working with Kent was a great experience and the craftsmanship turned out nothing short of beautiful. We love the new look of our kitchen and we can't recommend High Country Refacing highly enough!

Kent was a pleasure to work with from the start to the finish! He gave us a bid for the job on the first visit and performed the job on the exact date he promised. Kent works alone and custom makes all his products. We have a custom home with very difficult angles plus a sub zero refrigerator that he also refaced. He also added soft close hinges at no additional cost, which was such a nice surprise. I believe it was a difficult job, but all was done to perfection. I would recommend Kent and High Country Refacing to anyone.

First, Kent is a true craftsman and very gifted at his craft. He took my old and tired 80s kitchen with the not-so-lovely oak cabinetry and turned it into a truely awesome kitchen that I no longer hate...I love it!! He removed all the ugly cabinet doors and rebuilt new ones in a beautiful Shaker style in cherry wood, even added some with antique glass for the upper corners. He refaced all the wood everywhere. He added chunkier crown molding, rebuilt some decorative shelving and added beadboard behind the shelving for a little extra zing. He tore out a wine rack that I hated and built a custom cubby to hold my microwave so it's no long on top of the counter. He pulled out a horrible trash compactor and built a drawer for my trash can and recycle bin but the look like a tall cabinet from the outside. He took some small drawers and made front facades to give them the illusion they were large drawers so they matched the style better. He also added soft-close to all my cabinet doors so no more slamming! I was able to pick the exact stain color I wanted and the glass pattern. He does all the building himself and it is gorgeous! No store-bought stuff, it is all custom-made. Kent was awesome to work with. He is never late, he is there when he says he will be and he's ready to work - no messing around. He makes the most of every minute and works so hard. He is very creative and is great at problem-solving with those little weird things that are unique to each kitchen. He is polite, quiet and extremely professional. He is very much a perfectionist at his craft. I would hire and recommend him again in a heartbeat!!!

Kent is great! Communicative, prompt, efficient, quality worksmanship, tidy. We love our new cabinets! Want your kitchen looking new without a total redo? This is the guy for you. Thanks Kent!

The work was perfect. There may be a flaw somewhere in the work, but I sure can't find it. He does all the work himself and is meticulous to an extreme which my wife and I loved. He showed up on time to give a price quote and was punctual showing up each day for the project. The web site for High Country Resurfacing is useful in that you can actually do a pretty good estimation of costs just by counting the number of drawers and cabinet doors you are having resurfaced. Once he gave us a firm price, that was the price we paid. No monkeying around with and quot;change ordersand quot; which some contractors are infamous for trying to impose on the homeowner. When my wife expressed concern about the gloss finish on some of the large side panels being a bit too and quot;flatand quot; he willingly added another coat of urethane and the result was just what she wanted.He cleaned up after the job was complete.I'd give a 10 on a scale of 10 recommendation for this contractor and his work product.

He was really, really nice. He was our second choice for doing our kitchen. I would have chosen him but the other guy just had a couple more options that we were looking for. He was very, very nice to deal with. He answered his phone calls promptly to give us an estimate. We got 5 different bids. He was prompt, courteous and professional. His price was a little less than the guy I used but the other guy had more specific things that he could do.

Kent did a beautiful job in our kitchen. He made suggestions when we were unsure exactly what we wanted, came up with a unique stain for our cabinets that he had never done before (white wash pickling stain on maple), completed everything in just a few short days, went above and beyond to carry out my own suggestions as he was proceeding, and kept the mess down to a minimum. He was very detail-oriented and conscientious about doing everything just right. I really enjoyed having him work in my kitchen. I would definitely call Kent again if I needed anything done regarding cabinetry in my home.

I cannot recommend Kent Tullis highly enough. I am VERY picky about work being done in my home and I'm always looking for exceptional products and services at competitive pricing. Kent exceeded ALL of my expectations. His cost was approx 15% less than another local, well-established cabinet refinisher. He provided cabinet samples so I could select the appropriate color of granite and assisted me in finding the right appliances (microwave and fridge) so he could build new cabinets that would fit (and they did so perfectly) around the appliances. Kent installed the cabinets exactly when he said he would, was prompt to my home each and every morning and cleaned up after himself at the end of each day. My kitchen project took 6 days and Kent worked Monday through Saturday. Many subcontractors won't work on Saturdays so this was important to me. Kent is very professional and trustworthy and I will definitely use his services again in the future if I have a need. I have already referred him to friends considering cabinet replacement. I only refer people who "knock my socks off" and Kent fits that category! You won't regret working with him!!!!

Kent did an excellent refacing the cabinets in our kitchen. He showed enthusiasm energy and professionalism in all aspects of the work. He also exhibited creativity in his suggestions and was very easy to work with. His prices were fair especially considering the quality of the work. He acted promptly and was respectful of the schedule. We cannot give enough praise for his excellent work.
