Let me begin by saying our kitchen looks amazing!!! What a transformation. We had old, dark brown oak cabinets with a Quartz countertop that we didn't want the expense of replacing. From the first contact with Jim Firth, we felt refacing was the way to go. Jim assisted in picking out the best match for the countertop and even suggested a redesign of our island which turned out great. All of the finishing touches such as crown molding, light rail, framing the island, etc. made the kitchen even more beautiful. The installers Mike Stein, Robert Elliott and Carlos Brenes are not just installers, they are craftsmen. They take pride in their work and made sure we were happy with the entire job. They covered the floors and countertops and cleaned up each day before leaving. Although it takes 3 months from order to installation, it was truly worth the wait. You would never know these were not new cabinets. We are so glad we chose American Wood Reface for our project.

Incredible. Looks like all new cabinets. Extremely high quality, coupled with unmatched professionalism and workmanship. Cannot say enough good things about them. They under-promised and way, way over-delivered. Bravo!

We are very happy with the results! Our kitchen went from "painted cream" to a beautiful "warm wood" look. We chose to have birch wood stained with Country Pine. We are very pleased with the results. They suggested we add some "pot drawers"...and we are glad we did. We added FOUR and are finding them to be so easy to store and access our pots, pans, storage containers, baking bowls, etc. The two young men who did the work were very professional and worked hard and steady for most of two days. They were very respectful of our property and paid much attention to making sure things were left clean and neat (even at the end of the first day, knowing they would be back the next day to finish). I highly recommend American Wood Reface!
Description of Work: American Wood Reface completely transformed our kitchen by refacing our 35 year old cabinets. All this without having to remove our granite countertop! They put all new drawers, doors and hinges as well as beautiful crown moulding all across the top of the cabinets.

These guys were great!! We met with Tim B at the Greensboro Home Show in April, 2016. Tim came to our house, explained everything in detail to us. Initially we were only going to have the kitchen cabinets refaced but, after meeting with Tim, decided to also have the countertop replaced and backsplash added. Tim guided us through the whole process, helping us to select the cabinet doors and refacing, counter and tile. After signing the contract, Tim met with us at Carolina Countertops in Greensboro, gave us a very valued and professional opinion, and helped to guide us in the selection process. From beginning to end, the "project" only took 5 days. The counter was removed and replaced in 2 days, followed by 2 days of cabinet refacing, followed by 1 1/2 day of backsplash being installed. The guys who installed the cabinets were, great!! They confirmed the day before, when they would be showing up to begin, and actually arrived early. The demo was very clean, work was completed quickly, and Jim and his crew's personality were fun, professional and efficient throughout. Steve (whose last name escapes me), the tile man, was also, prompt, had some very good worthwhile suggestions about the tile backsplash layout, and was also great to work with. If, in the future, we have additional cabinet refacing to be done, we will not hesitate in giving Tim, and American Wood Reface the opportunity to work in our home. Thanks to Tim, Jim, his crew and Steve.

This is a great company to work with! Actually saw their products at a home show and set up an appt to come to my house. Tim came over with samples ..( I had already decided on what I wanted at the show..). He fully explained what they would/ could do in my kitchen and exactly how the process would go. Was very clear on time frame and installation. Jim was here to install when expected and did a great job! So basically, I had all my kitchen cabinets refaced. They took out a shelf and added 2 pot drawers!.. added access door to storage area that wasn't used ( due to no access), I had a desk in my kitchen that was never used.. they raised that area up to counter height and added 2 pot drawers there as well. It looks amazing .. love the soft close hardware !! Love the added space !! But most of all I LOVE the look! Would highly recommend this company

I pinch myself every time I go into my new kitchen!!! I feel like I'm in a showroom!! The new cherry cabinets are absolutely gorgeous and the quartz countertops look amazing. I can't believe this is my kitchen. Jim Firth arrived to do the estimate and had great ideas for enhancing the efficiency of my cabinets. We had two long pot drawers placed in the lower cabinet, to allow me to use the entire depth. They are great!! I wonder how I did without them. They give me easy access to the back of the cabinet. I no longer need to store seldom used items there. Frees up a lot of space for me to use more efficiently. When Jim got back to the office, his father-in-law suggested some better configurations for the pantry, giving us options to choose, and when Jim Gobetti came out to measure the cabinets, he offered some more great ideas for the pantry area. We love how it turned out. We never could have envisioned it on our own. The guys were great. Jim Firth kept us in the loop with progress, talked us through the quartz choices, and helped get the hardware samples for us to make our final decisions. On install day Jim and Mike arrived on time, introduced themselves, covered the flooring both in the kitchen, itself, and also along the path they took from the cutting area outside to the kitchen. They worked steadily, and were joined by two others around lunchtime. Everyone knew their responsibility and everything moved like clockwork. They were really a joy to have in the house - happy, friendly, and appearing to really enjoy each other and their work. You could see the pride they took in their work. Can't say enough about their work ethic. We would definitely hire them again - but would have to be for another house!! This kitchen is gorgeous and they guarantee their work for as long as we own the house, so won't need them here. Has been a joy to finally find a company with an honest work ethic.
Description of Work: Kitchen cabinets needed refacing, with new doors and drawers. Old white Formica replaced with new quartz countertop, stainless steel sink and a tile backsplash. Built-in stove and oven removed and area repurposed into a pantry/utensil section with quartz countertop and tile backsplash surrounding my new freestanding stove/oven.

Installation was set to begin August 10 but they were able to begin on Aug. 8. Bright and early Monday morning, the truck pulled up and two young guys rang the doorbell. Both introduced themselves, checked out the kitchen and bath and immediately began work. They worked solid for 2 1/2 days, not even wanting to stop for lunch. (I had LOTS of doors and the cabinets reach up to my 11' ceiling). These guys were VERY professional and their attention to detail is second to none. They cleaned up each day before they left and their final clean up was stellar. They hauled off all of their trash, as well as my old doors (after asking me if I wanted to keep them for any reason). My kitchen and bath cabinets look brand new. The service was outstanding and extremely professional. The product and installation certainly exceeded my expectations and was well worth the cost. I think the project has probably added $30,000 to the value of my house. I would highly recommend American Wood Reface to anyone thinking about redoing a kitchen or bath.
Description of Work: My 1920 kitchen cabinets had been painted and were increasingly difficult to keep clean. The hinges were failing and some of the drawer faces were chipped. My brother used American Wood Reface to update his kitchen and it looked amazing. I called, Tim Bowen came to my house with cabinet door samples and I made my decision. Jim Gobbetti came to measure and by that time, I had decided to also do my main bath vanity. Everyone was very professional and I had no qualms that everything would be perfect.

It went well they were very prompt. The supervisor and two to three workers came to do this and it took just a few days. They left the area perfect. We are very pleased with the work. Their price was good for the work we got. It was cheaper than reinstalling all new. We did want them to do some remolding and never heard back from.

It was excellent from beginning to end. No mistakes. They can out and measured the old cabinets so the refaced cabinets would fit perfectly. They came back out for the installation and they were installed in one day. They made sure to cover the floors and entire kitchen so there was no mess or dust. They cleaned up after themselves. If it wasn't for the new items, you wouldn't even know they were here. They provided great workmanship.

Excellent service. Arrived on time as promised. Perfectionist installed all the wood work, Initially the custom built pull outs did not fit into the cabinets but they were able to rebuild them and installed them on the second day of the project. Cleaned up very well prior to leaving. We did have an area of irregular staining on the side of the pantry. A new piece was ordered and replaced several weeks later- No hassle at all!

This is one excellent company. We are thrilled at the finished product in all areas. Team was neat, professional and made sure we were fully satisfied. We saved thousands by refacing instead of new cabinets and in many ways is better than new. They use quality thick wood to reface. We are getting compliments all the time.Price was reasonable. Bruce and Paul make sure every detail was taken care of. Thrilled with finished product

The guys from American Wood Reface were very good. They provided quality workmanship at what we think was a better price than we have been quoted by other people. People who see the cabinets cannot believe that they are refaced, that they are not entirely new. They met our expectations of what they promised. We are very satisfied with them.

Excellent. I talked to Bruce Zaidman approximately a year ago about refacing the cabinets. He was on time for the appointment and was MOST helpful. He brought numerous samples of different woods to use as the covering, was very patient in helping us pick out the wood and described the process/timeline for installation in detail. We called him back this past December to do the install. Bruce said that the installer was Paul Brese and he would come out and do the final measurements. Paul showed up on time and was patient with all of our questions (especially about installing a microwave over the stove). Several weeks later when the cabinet material showed up, Paul came and did the install perfectly. They cleaned up and left no mess. We had just had hardwood floors installed in the kitchen and he covered them up and left NO scratches! I've dealt with many contractors in my working career and these guys are definitely the kind I would call back!!! Don't know if they are the cheapest in town, but when you're spending $10,000 for a kitchen upgrade, do you really want the cheapest guy around - your choice.

Bruce, Paul and Jim did a fantastic job refinishing my kitchen cabinets. They were on time for every appointment, from providing the initial estimate to the final intallation. They were very professional, and easy to work with, being very patient as I changed my mind any number of times. The job came in at the price they quoted, and left my house as clean as they found it. Best of all, my kitchen cabinets look brand new.
