Kenton showed me lots of work samples (pictures), allowed me to visit his shop, and provided design drawings for a fee (I think based on scope of project). What he came up with was nice, but we were in the end, not ready to spend the money on custom work.

The shelves that Kenton created for us are truly a masterpiece. The fit into the room beautifully and look like they were built into the original architectural designs of the house. And it would be impossible to replicate the craftsmanship that he provided us with. As the installation process was occurring, my husband and I would look over the pieces as night, amazed that anyone could create something like this from hand. I also greatly appreciated Kenton's attitude and his demeanor. During the installation, Kenton was often in the house alone with me and my 2 year old son and he was a pleasure to have around. My son would often sit and watch what Kenton was doing and I greatly appreciated his kindness throughout the process. When we originally asked Kenton to bid on the project, we put it off for a few months because we thought that $6000 may be too much to spend on bookshelves. We also had another company who does some installed but pre-fabricated shelves bid on the project too. That bid was $1500 less than Kenton's but didn't come with any of the extras (desk, filing system, etc) and used lower quality materials. But after seeing what Kenton went through to make sure the shelves fit perfectly in the space, I think we got an exceptional deal on our shelves. You pay for quality but I believe that the quality and service we received, far outweighs what we ended up spending. I would truly recommend Kenton to anyone---he is great to work with!
Description of Work: Kenton designed, created an installed wall of bookshelves in our home. The finished project spanned a 9'x10' wall and was complete with a built in desk, cabinets and a hiding filing cabinet system. I was most impressed with the design work that Kenton did for us. He has an education in architecture and you can see this in every step of the design process. He listened in detail to what we were hoping for and clarified how he would do it to be sure that it would not only look good but would last through the stress of having many pounds of books on each of the shelves. He was even able to brainstorm a way to create a hidden filing cabinet in the system after me mentioning in passing that I would love to find somewhere to put all of our files. The actual construction of the shelves took about 6 weeks and was down off-site in Kenton's studio. He checked in with us a few times to clarify the style of molding we wanted and even came over a few times to be sure that he was correctly matching the crown molding to the rest of the style of the house. He has an amazing eye for design and I appreciated every one of his suggestions through this process. The installation of the shelves was supposed to take 2 days but it ended up taking him 5 because of the unevenness of the floors and walls in our house that was built in the 1880's. He was very concerned that everything line up and fit perfectly into the space. I believe that most craftsmen would have charged extra for all of those additional hours of work that had to be done to complete the job to perfection, but Kenton quoted his price at the beginning and stuck to it. I believe because of that and so many other reasons, we couldn't have gotten a better deal for what he have us.

Kenton was great to work with. He came to the house for an initial consultation where we described what we wanted and he gave us some input. We then went through a few draft drawings as we refined what we wanted. Kenton came to do the final measurements, and a little less than a month later, installed the finished cabinet. He has a painstaking eye for detail, which was very useful when working in a tight space. He compensated for several difficulties in the installation, including a sloped floor and less-than-square walls.
Description of Work: Kenton designed, built, and installed a built-in cabinet for our kitchen, where space is tight. The cabinet includes shelves, pocket doors, and a slide-out desk surface.

Great experience with Kenton. He spent a lot of time designing the project with us, and came back during fabrication process to confirm the fit of the unfinished pieces. Installation went smoothly with excellent final product. Kenton does the work himself. He's a craftsman and an artist and a perfectionist. We're getting ready to do a second project with him.

It was wonderful working with Kenton Rhoades and I would highly recommend him. He was very polite, always returned phone calls, completed work when he said he would, did excellent work and had good design ideas. On top of all this his price was fair.
Description of Work: We found Kenton on Angie's list and recommend him highly. He divided a 10 feet long wood cabinet into 3 individual units fabricating 4 new end panels. His workmanship was excellent with the rosewood veneer matching perfectly. We had asked other cabinet makers to do this work and most said it was too difficult to do or charged too much. Kenton's price was very fair. Later we hired him to add wood doors to another cabinet and were very happy with that result also.
