Abode laid out the new cabinets on a drawing for us and we installed the new units ourselves. Bob Kemp was very helpful with tips on installation and cost-effective upgrades to make the new cabinets very user friendly. The new kitchen looks great!

They do kitchens, countertops, front doors, and all that. I like them, and I was very impressed with everything. What they tore out and their work were extremely well done. In addition, the quality of their work was great! They were about $ 9,000 cheaper than other estimates that we got. They were great all the way around! I would absolutely use them again!
Description of Work: I used Abode Building Center, and they totally redid our kitchen.

We were very happy with the results of the solid surface material. One small issue with the shower shelf is it does not have grooves on the lower ledge, so our bar soap sticks to the surface; we resolved that issue by using a soap holder. That was an oversight on our part when we asked for the design. Kelly G. was our contact at Abode and we appreciate her knowledge, recommendations and patience!
Description of Work: We had a custom vanity countertop, shower seat and shower shelf insert made. Material was HI-Macs solid surface in cream color. The solid surface workman installed the countertop and our general contractor installed the shower shelf and seat.

Joe from Select Surfaces performed the measurement and installation and I cannot say enough good things about him. he arrived within the window of time promised and he took his time and made sure the work was done in a quality manor. In fact after the initial installation, he was not happy with the seam and came back on a Saturday after the adhesive set thoroughly spending nearly 4 hours making sure it was even and smooth and that the countertop had zero chips and was sealed properly. Joe was neat and made sure all areas were covered and cleaned up after himself. he provided superb customer service and cared about the job and respected our home. We were very happy with Abode and Select Surfaces.
Description of Work: I worked with Mike Nielsen from Abode to quote granite countertops for me and he was very thorough. The quote included the granite, tax, and all installation costs. The company he works with, Select Surfaces ordered the slab and it was a good qulaity Verde Peacock.

They have done an excellent job for us. The countertops are still beautiful after 15 years. Their work was excellent. It was one of the best decisions that I made while doing some remodeling in this house. It’s a long stretch of counter. It was made out of ceramic tiles and we did a nice oak on the top which is like a snack bar area. The quality of the materials was excellent. I went in and told them what I wanted. They were excellent in terms of directing me in selecting the right materials for my application. They were prompt and neat in installing it. The workmanship was good. My overall experience with them was excellent. They were pretty pricey. Their responsiveness was good. I just went in and picked up the stuff. They then delivered it to me on time. I didn’t have any issues to talk to them about. Their punctuality and professionalism were excellent as well.
Description of Work: Abode Building Center installed the countertops in our kitchen in 1995.

After searching for granite counter tops at many places I found that Abode had great prices and very professional services. I chose the granite, they came out immediately and measured all the counters and scheduled the installation. We were also replacing the dishwasher with dish drawers which entailed additional electrical and plumbing and as we had replaced our floor with hardwood a year earlier which made the floor higher than the dishwasher, ti could only be removed after the old counters were removed. Abode coordinated the the delivery of the other appliances, came in one afternoon to remove the counter tops and removed the dishwasher so the plumber could re-run the pipes that afternoon. They were back early the next morning to built up the floor under the removed dishwasher and a support for a floating counter, then the granite was delivered and installed. It fit perfectly and indeed very beautiful. That done, the dish drawers were hooked up by mid-afternoon and the kitchen was all back together and ready for use that evening. I have recommended Abode to others for many different projects and they have all been very happy with the outcome.
Description of Work: Installed granite counter tops and sink/faucets in kitchen. Were fabulous to work with especially coordinating with other vendors who were changing the electrical, and installing new dish drawers. They went above and beyond expectations, building up the floor under the dishwasher and adding support for a floating counter, and it was all done so quickly that we were only without counters for less than 18 hours.
