Hansen & Bringle Cabinets & Millwork

unknown

For a major remodeling project, we were advised by our architect and contractor to use Hand B. We suggested using the top-of-the-line cabinets at mainstream suppliers like the Martha Stewart line at Home Depot, but were told that Hand B would be much better. It ended up costing more than twice the price, and was very nice looking, but was far from perfect. Auto-close drawers didn't work right, paint was imperfect, installation caused some damage to surfaces, and management refused to "make everything right." If your budget is unlimited and you do not demand perfection, Hand B can make some beautiful, unique cabinets. If money matters, get a good carpenter and use top-end pre-made cabinets. I sympathize with and firmly believe in supporting local entrepreneurs, but only if they offer something that their customers can't essentially match at a significantly lower price from a regional or national firm. Hand B has good people trying hard to deliver a superior product and service, but in spite of their best efforts (partially due to the difficulty of hiring expert staff in the Keys), their goal is not being attained.
