Virginia Cabinetry, LLC

They were wonderful from the beginning, easy to work with, listened to what we wanted, took detailed notes and the designs were spot on. Always arrived on time for any appointments. Measured twice before they started building the cabinets. On installation day everything went smooth. They were very careful and tried to avoid scraping the walls or ceilings. Excellent job, where things were scraped they touched up. Highly recommend!

I will give them an A as well.

I did not hire them.

We were so pleased with Nijaz and his crew from start to finish. We worked with him to come up with the new kitchen layout and incorporated many of his suggestions in the new plan. He developed drawings that were much more professional and comprehensive than others we talked to and we were really happy with his quote especially given the large number of cabinets we needed and his quality of work (using soft close hinges, all wood cabinets etc.) He was great about showing us cabinets being constructed in his shop and It was so nice not being confined to the limitations of stock cabinets. We ended up with much more than we ever imagined at the start. We also asked for some things that were unique and he put in a lot of effort to accomplish our requests and the result makes us feel like we have a very custom looking kitchen. He also made some last minute changes that worked out well. It was really enjoyable to have an entire crew who works hard, truly takes pride in their work, and wants to make sure the customer is happy. Aside from how pleased we are with the end result, they were all just really nice people to be around. We would have enjoyed just hanging out talking with them if they weren't so busy working!

Their estimated price was a couple thousand more than the company we went with. They were punctual. They weren’t as competitive and they didn’t seem to be as knowledgeable because we also have a washer and dryer and in there and that was one thing particularly that the gentleman was not as particularly knowledgeable about. This is important in the laundry room, not just the cabinets but all the issues that come with having a washer and dryer and having a space for them.

Hands down, VA Cabinetry, LLC was THE BEST sub-contractor we worked with through the entire building process. From the beginning, Nijaz was there to see the entire project through. He assisted with the design and made very helpful and practical suggestions as we went along. We were provided with 3D renderings of our cabinetry and were able to approve and make alterations without any difficulty. A plus to the process, Nijaz gave us a personal tour of his workshop to see how all his work is done. Simply put, we were impressed and had a good sense of security knowing how the entire process worked. It is quite clear that VA Cabinetry takes pride in their work. Our new home construction is in the final stages of completion and we are so pleased with all of the cabinetry and the wood island counter top for our kitchen! We cannot say enough about the quality and professionalism of VA Cabinetry, LLC. I can say with confidence that we will hire VA Cabinetry to do additional work for us. A side note: we researched and met with several (5, to be specific) cabinetry companies and had the most positive experience with VA Cabinetry, LLC. in the beginning stages and felt we would get a quality product and good customer service. They truly exceeded our expectations.

(Please see my story as described above.)

Our project with Virginia Cabinetry went very smoothly from start to finish. For our initial visit and estimate, we spent alot of time going over MDF versus wood, what kind of wood, whether glass shelves would be included, the detailing on the cabinets, and how to make the detailing and overall look similar to that of our adjacent dressing room. We also needed to insert a radiator cover in the middle, and wanted it to be strong enough to sit on, just in case. The installation area was below two windows, and our 1920s home has alot of asymmetries and quirks, so they measured multiple times, without prompting, because the layout of the space made it obvious that slightly off measurements would need to be considered throughout. We also wanted to be sure that the radiator cover gave sufficient access for servicing, and so we discussed several options for creating a removable hinge so that the cover could be removed. We discussed the proportions of the unit overall in that we wanted the unit to add distinction and detail to the room, but not overwhelm it. We also have delicate items from travels abroad that we wanted to display, and discussed whether overhead lighting was feasible, though we opted to go without it, at least for now. The drawers below needed to be of sufficient depth to store linens, blankets, or other somewhat bulkier items that our dressing room cabinets could not hold, so we talked alot about how to negotiate this given the width of the radiator and the size of the shelving atop the drawers. We also gave him a piece of old trim work from a prior project so that he could match the color. We discussed an approximate estimate beforehand, and the formal estimate sent later held no surprises. They were very accomodating about the fact that I later decided that, given our original windows in the home, I requested restoration-grade glass in the cabinet doorfronts. We discussed where he could get this, and he let me know what it would cost once he looked into it. I explained that I would be fine with him adding this to our bill, because for me, this was an important detail for the overall theme of the house. I would be looking at this unit every day, so I wanted no regrets. When we returned from vacation, the cabinets were ready. I can't remember exactly how long it took to make the unit; I am guessing maybe 3-4 weeks (we were only gone for about a week and a half). We had to put off installation for a couple of weeks, and they were fine with that. The day of installation of course very exciting. I was off that day so that I could assist with any questions or concerns. It took them most of the day, which was fine by me. I wanted them to take their time and do the job right. They were savvy about being able to place extra pieces in certain places to help transition difficult corners, which was a lingering concern in the back of my mind, given the oddity of the measurements in the space they had install the unit. We have 6-8 inches of trim molding along the floors, with shoe molding, and picture rail about an inch from the ceiling, throughout the 1st and 2nd floors of the house, and they navigated this very nicely as well, and matched the trim color well. They left very little debris behind--some sawdust on the front walk--which was easily remedied. My husband and I are very pleased with the unit itself, its design, its installation, the value it adds to our home, and the guys that did the work. Of course, I took my own chances with whether the restoration-grade glass would be worth it on the cabinet fronts, and it definitely was. I would anticipate that some potential clients would be concerned about language barrier issues. Some of his crew are from other countries, so he helps them settle here and find work. The owner was so conscientious about discussing every detail of the project at the beginning, and speaks fluent and seasoned english anyway, such that he seems to have been in the states for quite some time (don't let his accent fool you!). Plus, his installers were excellent. So we never really had reason to anticipate any problems with that, and it never became an issue. He and his crew were also just very pleasant people, easy to work with. I am not sure if Angie's List allows reviewers to submit images of services rendered, but if you would like to see the work that they did for us, they did take pictures, and we could certainly take some as well and send them to him to post.

Nijaz came to our home, measured our bathrooms and bar area. He listened to what I was looking for and made suggestions which were great. He showed me the wood and stain options. He then quoted me a price. Nijaz also met me at a granite company to assist me in picking out counter tops to go with the cabinets. The cabinets were constructed quickly and ready for installation on time. The crew that came to install the cabinets were professional and courteous. We could not be happier with the cabinets and expect to have VA Cabinetry to renovate our kitchen and other bathrooms when we are ready. I would highly recommend this service provider based on quality, price, professionalism and prompt responsiveness.

We looked at several options for addressing our storage needs in the bedrrom of a 75-year old house. Closets, anyone? What we really needed was storage for folded clothes, but the only available space was right across from the bed, so we wanted something nice to look at. When we got a quote of over $4,000 from California Closets, we decided there must be a better way to go. We found Virginia Cabinetry on the web. I had contacted maybe 4 other cabinet makers, but these were literally the only guys who returned my phone call! He came over the next night, had a drawing and quote ready in a couple of days. By then we had seen enough to have an idea of what the project should cost. Their estimate was detailed and reasonable for the work involved. The work was finished on time and the installation was very good. Since we have an old house, the floors and walls are slightly uneven. They were prepared for this, and the cabinet was installed to be level and plumb. It looks great. I only wish I had asked them to make the whole thing deeper. It is only 16" deep, which means it doesn't take up too much floor space, but the drawers are not as deep as I would have liked for bulkier items. I could have used a little more guidance on that, since I didn't know about standard lengths for drawer slides. But it looks very pretty!
