"If Consumer Reports Magazine actually did kitchen cabinet evaluations, Yoder Cabinetry would be at the top of the list for all categories and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED with "BEST Top Quality for Deluxe Custom Made Cabinets," "BEST Value & Buy," and "BEST Personal Customer Individual Service." However sadly, Consumer Reports Magazine DOES NOT provide a buying guide with "tests" and "evaluations" of cabinetry or a cabinet "best buy" in cabinet categories with top quality for various levels of kitchen cabinet construction such as (1) stock production cabinets (big box store economy lines), (2) semi-custom (big box stores premium cabinet lines, i.e., with minor size customization options to better adapt cabinets to existing kitchen dimensional space, etc.) or (3) deluxe custom made cabinets NOT available at Big Box Stores. Also not evaluated by Consumer Reports are the custom makers themselves who actually build the cabinets in terms of personal individualized customer service, attention to detail, follow-up, quality of materials, quality of hardware, installation, price, etc. SO, WHAT DO YOU DO if you start out knowing nothing about cabinets, cabinet construction, custom cabinet builders in Ohio; are about to spend thousands of dollars still not sure of what you'll get in terms of quality and service, help in customizing your initial kitchen cabinet design, individual service; and you want SUPERB craftsmanship/top-end quality and expert extremely personalized service to meet your needs at a reasonable price from someone you can trust? This was a very daunting, almost insurmountable task for us and for most folks contemplating buying custom cabinets for sure! *** We found in our research the short answer is to find a small totally family-owned and staffed top quality cabinet making business for your custom cabinet project. In this case BIGGER IS NOT BETTER if you want "old world" craftsmanship, great value for your money spent along with the business owner's attention entirely focused on meeting your cabinet project's unique demands. *** For us, after extensive research and evaluating makers of cabinets in Ohio, we selected Yoder Cabinetry of Dundee, OH to custom build our cabinets to our specific design needs. You need not read any more of this review or any others on Angie's List as Mr. Joe Yoder of Yoder Cabinetry is all you'll ever need to know. We'll explain further if you care to read on as we want others buying cabinets to benefit from what we learned without having to do all the "overwhelming" homework that we did in order to get marvelous top-of-the-line cabinetry with great "bang for the buck" to boot. *** My wife and I have written an extensive review concerning Yoder Cabinetry that follows, because we were utterly amazed and impressed with the superb experience we have had with Yoder Cabinetry. Our total floor to ceiling kitchen remodel of a very large kitchen was a really major expense, so we put in the INTENSE research effort required that would give us the best return on every dollar spent! Here, since kitchen cabinets make up a large percentage of the total remodeling costs, we did extensive research to get the best value in premium custom cabinets without compromising quality, etc. in any way. *** The following decision categories were included in our research for the final choice of a Custom Cabinet Maker: *** (1) Cost, Big Box Stores vs. Custom Cabinet Builders in Ohio; *** (2) Personal Service & Customization of Our Commercial Semi-Custom Kitchen Cabinet Design Plan; *** (3) How Cabinet Maker Does Business; *** (4) Quality of Craftsmanship; *** (5) Quality of Construction; *** (6) Quality of Wood Used; and *** (7) Quality of Hardware Used. *** (1) COST, FOR BIG BOX STORES SEMI-CUSTOM CABINETS VS. CUSTOM CABINETS: As sophisticated shoppers who took the time to learn about the cabinetry field, we found that Big Box Stores really don't offer good value or the highest quality for the high price charged, even when on sale. For not that much more we could have "custom made, premium in every way, cabinets" built exactly to meet our kitchen's dimensional requirements from Yoder Cabinetry. *** (2) PERSONAL SERVICE & CUSTOMIZATION OF OUR COMMERCIAL SEMI-CUSTOM KITCHEN CABINET DESIGN PLAN: *** Mr. Yoder personally came to our home to measure and consult on our kitchen's design and to improve aesthetics visually. It's included with the cabinet price. He would have created a design plan for us totally from scratch with our input if we did not already have an existing draft plan to work from. He offered "significant" improvements on our existing design. He is an expert at this, so he improved our design aesthetically making the kitchen far more attractive and functionally better. *** He did the following in our case: (1) Centered the kitchen sink under our kitchen's window, which we could not do with the most expensive available fixed-size Big Box cabinets. This was done by custom measuring and building cabinets for that entire kitchen sink wall so that the kitchen sink cabinet would sit in a cabinet centered under the window. (2) Centered the upper cabinets and lower cabinets in relation to the 36" cook top range and hood, which we could not do with the most expensive available fixed-size Big Box cabinets, so that upper and lower cabinet doors would all align both above and below our cook top and range hood. This involved custom measuring and building cabinets for the entire kitchen wall that has the cook top and range hood. (3) Custom built 40" high upper cabinets with matching crown molding for our 8 foot ceiling. Big Box Store cabinets we investigated only come in 39" and 41". (4) Custom built full height pantry cabinets with custom widths for the third wall of the kitchen that are not obviously available from Big Box cabinet manufacturers. (5) Custom addition of all solid wood carved panels (not veneers, etc.) on all visible cabinet sides. (6) Island has custom all solid wood carved side panels (not veneers, etc.) as well. *** (3) HOW CABINET MAKER DOES BUSINESS: *** “His word is his bond.” That is the best way to describe the way Mr. Joe Yoder, owner of Yoder Cabinetry, does business in a highly ethical way. Imagine . . . doing business on a promise and a handshake!!! No contract required. I simply paid a deposit and that was it. I have not met an “honorable and ethical” gentleman like Mr. Yoder in quite a long time. It is very refreshing as I like to do business like that myself if I have been lucky enough to meet someone that I feel has views similar to my own concerning ethical behavior in business, also known as the "Golden Rule," to treat others as you wish to be treated. *** Mr. Yoder is quite an interesting socially conscious person. I spent a very pleasant time engaged in conversation with Mr. Yoder. I learned that in the past he volunteered with Habitat for Humanity by going to our nation's coast after major hurricanes to help those in desperate need with reconstruction of their homes damaged from the storm. In addition to being a master cabinet maker, he is also a master carpenter whose skills he put to use well as a volunteer for Habitat for Humanity. *** (4) QUALITY OF CRAFTSMANSHIP: *** Certainly there are several Ohio custom cabinet makers that offer great craftsmanship. Yoder Cabinetry is not alone in this regard. For us, we opted for a small family operation where every family employee is a part owner, so every cabinet piece is made with pride, because in fact it has the family name and reputation on it. Can't expect better than that LOL! (5) QUALITY OF CONSTRUCTION: *** The Yoder Cabinetry construction quality is the "Best Available" at ANY PRICE we have learned from our research! Yoder Cabinetry "only builds top end quality cabinets," period, at reasonable prices. Mr. Yoder explained for his shop's small operations that it is NOT COST EFFECTIVE in terms of time wasted to set up the shop machinery to produce lower quality cabinets, so his shop only produces top end quality cabinets. *** Some larger Ohio custom cabinet making shops (in fact factories in some cases) can afford to produce lower quality"

"Erik was hired to install IKEA cabinets in our home for a full kitchen renovation. I felt confident in assembling the cabinets and finishing them (doors, hardware, drawers, toe kicks, etc) but we wanted a professional to make sure the cabinets were hung level, plumb, and square. From our first conversation it was obvious that Erik is an expert in all things IKEA. He provided some guidance and changes to our design to make some subtle improvements that would not have been obvious to us. He also immediately identified a critical flaw in our design that would have greatly impacted the final outcome but luckily we had enough time to get the proper replaced item. Communication with Erik was decent but be prepared for patience with emails and texts. Phone calls seemed to be most effective. Also be prepared to be patient for his schedule. Despite our efforts to plan ahead and get on “his radar” back in July, it still took several rounds of calls and discussions to finally get a week nailed down and the arrival day wasn’t determined until the week-of. You will need to be flexible. The installation was very fast - he had all of the work completed in one day. He is also very precise and detailed. He took time to show me how cabinets were anchored to the wall, that cabinets were level and prepped for the countertop template. He also cleaned up nicely, was courteous in our home and has a professional demeanor. The installation wasn’t without issue though. He accidentally stepped on a weak piece of our corner cabinet and broke it. His solution was to “sister” a piece below it. I was told it wouldn’t affect the countertops as this had no load bearing properties and it won’t be visible once countertops are installed. I believe that he is correct, and accidents happen, but it was disappointing as mishaps was something I wanted to avoid and large reason why we elected to hire someone rather than do the installation ourselves. No adjustment was made to the agreed upon price to account for the broken cabinet which I felt would have been the appropriate thing to do even it was a minor reduction. Overall, I would hire Erik again and be better prepared to be patient and clearly a communicate my expectations. He is precise, detailed, and very knowledgeable on IKEA systems. His involvement resulted in a nice overall outcome."
