Kenny is an absolute joy to work with ? quick responses to calls & questions, good at calming the fears that come with big remodeling jobs and always punctual. I sent him an internet link to a 50?s knotty pine kitchen that I wanted to copy and what Kenny delivered is close enough. The finish is absolute perfection and although the style came out a little more modern than I was shooting for, I?m ultimately very happy. The only unforeseen glitches came from my looking over & approving Kenny?s drawings without my glasses. The uppers were shorter to allow for crown molding that I hadn?t wanted and couldn?t see on the plans. Only when the crew was installing did I notice & a call to Kenny had him suspend install and he came out the next day. He tweaked the molding & cabinet height and even remade one box that was too short which all took an extra week but I couldn?t be happier in the end. All pull-outs in the base cabs made plenty more storage anyway. He?s even come out a few times after the install to tweak or fix stuff. Four months later when the countertop company was out here measuring for an estimate they came across a glitch. I called Kenny and he came right away and fixed it before the countertop guy left. That kind of service is worth what seemed like a kinda high price. Recommend!!!
Description of Work: Built and installed full kitchen of knotty pine cabinets with pull-outs in all the bases.

First Rate all the way. Always on time and punctual. Build a large entertainment center. Beautiful. Details like LED lighting, easy access spaces for cables and electronic component hook ups, moved wall outlets for easy access, black melamine behind TV, mounted TV on articulating arm for us and made TV space large enough to accommodate a larger TV later if desired. Matched the cabinet design prevailing in the house perfectly and matched the hardwood in the house perfectly. Finish detail is impeccable. Also replaced the metal breakfast bar supports with beautiful wood corbels, built a mantel for our fireplace and build a frame around a very large mirror in the dining room. All with the same detail and finish expertise as the entertainment center. These guys are really master craftsmen. It's pretty impressive to watch what they can do. Had to wait about 4 weeks from design until install but well worth it.

It took Ken and Kirby just shy of six weeks to complete all the work. So impressed we were with the quality and timeliness of the project, that we commissioned Ken to construct a custom cabinet for the television niche and a custom mantelpiece for the family room adjacent to the kitchen and informal dining area. We also engaged Kirby to paint the family room, two hallways, living room, formal dining area, including ceilings for each, as well as to furnish and install fully enclosed-LED lighting in multiple locations. In addition to recommending Kirby, Ken also suggested that we might wish to visit Standards of Excellence from whom we bought our appliances (www.kitchenandplumbing.com/standards-of- excellence). Moreover, Ken thought that Advanced Countertop Design (www.advancedcountertop.com) could provide the quality quartz countertops we had decided to purchase. A major reason for this decision is that once these kinds of countertops are installed, they never need to be resealed. This feature, in our opinion, makes them superior to granite countertops, and in addition, we had a vast range of patterns and colors to choose from. The total cost of the remodel was about $60,000, and this included all the work outlined in the fourth and fifth paragraphs of this review. The cost of Ken?s portion of the work was about $35,000. The remainder of the cost was for Kirby?s work; purchase of the appliances; acquisition of Italian floor tiles, lighting other than that provided by Ken; and the sink and associated hardware and garbage disposal. We highly recommend Ken for the following reasons: ? He is very professional and it is obvious that he is extremely knowledgeable about wood, design, and the process of applying finishes. ? He sets realistic schedules, but is quick to alert his clients if a situation adversely impacts the flow of work. ? He is a perfectionist, and even though he didn?t install any of the cabinets (except for installation of the cabinet lighting), he carefully reviewed the completed work and spent more than an adequate amount of time making sure that everything was to our satisfaction. ? There were no hidden costs and no surprises. ? He can make immediate changes or replace defects as his shop is located locally and his major cabinet vendor is in northern California. ? His recommendations for the services of Kirby Fisher and the various vendors was stellar, and their work was of the highest quality. ? He is a person of integrity!
Description of Work: Last year, when my wife and I decided to completely remodel our kitchen, we started with a visit to a major retailer. We spent time with the retailer’s kitchen designer, who was experienced and competent. However, the retailer’s cabinet installer, whose job it was to recommend contractors to perform demolition, electrical work, installation of a ventilation system, and other construction activities, seemed to be ill-equipped to ensure the seamless installation and quality of work we envisioned. Eventually, we received an estimate for the non-cabinet portion of the project that appeared to be much too high. In consultation with the kitchen designer, we decided to purchase high-end cabinets made of cherry wood. Also, in our discussions with the kitchen designer, there were some features we wished to have, but were told there could be no deviations from the cabinet manufacturer’s standards. Moreover, the cabinet manufacturer was located on the east coast and could not guarantee a quick turn-around of any defective workmanship resulting from the cabinet making process. Concurrently, through Angie’s List, we located cabinet maker Ken Goff, owner of Unique Design Cabinet Company. By looking at pictures of Ken’s various projects at his website which is www.uniquedesigncabinetco.com, we were impressed with the breadth, depth, and quality of his work. I called Ken and found him to be extremely knowledgeable about cabinet building and types and qualities of various woods, as well as finishes. Also, Ken had an enthusiasm about his work that I have seldom encountered. I was concerned that Ken might be too expensive for the cabinet portion of our envisioned project. But in any event, I asked him to come to our house to discuss our proposed layout for the cabinet portion of the remodel. During Ken’s visit, he suggested several ideas that would result in additional cabinet space, and since he is a custom cabinet builder, he was able to incorporate several features that the retailer’s designer could not provide because they did not meet the standards of the cabinet manufacturer. We requested a bid from Ken, and it was competitive with that of the major retailer. Also, during my initial conversation with Ken, I told him that we would require the services of a general contractor. Ken suggested Kirby Fisher, owner of Fisherbuilt Construction (www.fisherbuiltconstruction.com) who came to our home with Ken during a subsequent consultation. We told Kirby about our construction requirements, and within minutes, there was no doubt in our mind that Kirby was very well qualified to perform with his own resources, the bulk of the general contractor’s portion of the project. Kirby quickly furnished his bid, which in our opinion was very reasonable. Based on Ken’s and Kirby’s bids, we retained Ken to build and install the cabinets (including installation of in-cabinet and under-cabinet lighting), and Kirby, who would be responsible for the demolition and removal of an existing pantry, cabinets, and flooring; installation of a ventilation system, modification of the existing electrical wiring, performance of all necessary plumbing work; removal and re-installation of the flooring for the kitchen and adjacent informal dining area; removal and replacement of the overhead lights; and repainting the kitchen ceiling. We gave Ken and Kirby three months to build the cabinets and arrange for the other work, during which time we took a long-planned trip outside the country and prepared the areas where the work would be performed.

He was a little more expensive than some others that we'd gotten bids on, but the work was completely worth it!
Description of Work: We hired Ken to make a cabinet for us in an odd space. He also added pull out drawers in our kitchen. They hid the hinges and they work is beautiful.

I cannot believe what a pleasure it was to work with Ken Goff and his crew. Ken was honest about when something would be ready and he and his crew always arrived on time and ready to work. They never left for the day until their work space was just as it was when they arrived. Whenever I asked a question, or came up with another item to be added or changed, there was never a problem. I cannot tell you what a pleasure it was to actually work with someone who still possesses a work ethic and strives to make the customer not only happy, but you can tell that he enjoys what he is doing and takes pride in the outcome. I highly recommend Unique Design for anyone who has a kitchen where they are tired of getting on their knees and removing items from their lower cupboards to get to the item that is in the back. Not only is that a waste of time, but it is totally unnecessary, as Ken's company can put in rollouts that look like they were original to the cupboards. I could go on and on, just if you need some cabinetry work done, do yourself a favor and give Ken Goff a call. You will never regret it.
Description of Work: I had just purchased a brand new home and this home was substandard in its finishing work to put it bluntly. After talking with the builder, I discovered any remedy would need to be done by me, as the builder was not able to get the people who did the original work to come back and do the job over again correctly. Hence, I went looking for someone that could and would come and do this job. After some searching, interviewing and checking out, I settled on Unique Design. Ken Goff Came to my home and I showed him what I felt needed to be fixed, plus a few extras for myself. Ken replaced every single drawer in the kitchen, put side panels on the kitchen cabinets, and removed all the lower shelving and replaced them with pull-outs-all with heavy duty hardware. Ken removed the cabinet that would have been above the refrigerator, could a refrigerator actually fit in the original space. (It could not) Ken built a cabinet that would accommodate my new refrigerator. He also put in toe kicks in the entire kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room. He also trimmed out the under the island granite counter top. Now for the few extras that I wanted in my new home. The entertainment center that was built-in in my living area that came with this house couldn't hold a single DVD. Without putting anything in that entertainment center, it was already coming apart. It was held up with the paint, caulking, and a few nails that missed the studs. Ken replaced that with the best entertainment center I have seen. It is perfect. It has the same rollouts that the kitchen cabinets have and all of my games, movies and electronics fit perfectly. Because the kitchen and living room share the same space, Ken matched the color of the kitchen cabinets. This is an entertainment center I am now very proud to have in my home. But not stopping there. I had a mystery room that had no purpose, no windows, nothing but a door. Ken turned that mystery room into a wonderful linen closet, complete with oversized drawers, and large upper cabinets to hold all of my blankets, pillows, etc. that are not in use. Again, Ken made these drawers using heavy duty hardware and he made them deep. Just one drawer can hold 24 pairs of ladies jeans and still have room for more, and there are six of these drawers. Moving on to the master closet, Ken turned a practically useless closet into one that is heaven on earth. I can now have all of my clothes in the same space and everything is easy to keep organized. He arranged everything so I can hang more than twice what I could before and I have shelving to accommodate all of my folded clothing as well. Finally, but not least, Ken designed a closet for my office. The new space makes it possible to organize my office and to make it more efficient
