NHance Wood Renewal of Seattle

We had a house remodel and the GC opted to avoid the cabinet painting scope. Nhance specializes in this work. They were punctual in their walk-through and bid. The competition was not. I chose Nhance even though they were 10% more. Schedule coordination with the GC was perfect. Work was completed on time. The paint job looks great. Hinges work well too, but half of the silencers were missing. Most of the knob pulls were installed crooked and were not fully screwed in. The knobs came with tapered screws attached, not bolted through the cabinet. They had difficulty screwing them into the wood fully. Some knobs were scratched on the edges from the using toothed pliers. The PM said the knobs would be aligned with the horizontal edge in the cabinet panel, but they were centered on the trim. Centering on the trim would have been fine, but the GC aligned pulls to the edge on other cabinets in the house. Finally, one of the drawer pulls was installed with large black screws rather than the smaller bronze screws provided. The PM returned a month later. She handed me some silencers to put on myself (she was in heels) and was unapologetic of how difficult the pulls were to install, even though the GC had no such difficulty. The PM pulled the drawer cover off. She delivered a repaired drawer a week later. I fixed the pulls.

Very nice estimator came to the house. Price seemed very reasonable. Bid arrived, I signed it and returned via email. Heard nothing for nearly a month. Called, spoke with owner, who said he'd follow up. Re-sent signed bid. Finally get an email, explaining that technician who refinishes furniture had quit, so work could not be done. Nice folks, but took nearly 2 months to be told to go elsewhere. This review is for the sole purpose of noting that as of this writing (12/2017), NHance is not set up to refinish furniture.

Salesperson came out promptly and gave me a bid. No pressure, so I pondered it for a couple days as it was more expensive than I had anticipated. Once I excepted the bid and paid a down payment the work was scheduled within a couple weeks. The first crew came out and removed all doors and drawers to take them to shop to be primed and sprayed. The next week another crew came out and painted all the base and upper cabinets. It took 6 days and you need to be prepared to set up a temporary kitchen in another room during that time as your kitchen won't be available. It would've been easier if we had not had the laundry room painted at the same time as that would've made a good temporary kitchen. The final installation got delayed because I had to find new hinges to fit the old doors and it took two weeks to get them shipped from cabinetparts.com. Another delay happened because there was a mixup and some doors got painted the wrong color. The company corrected that and everything got completed a week later. In the end the cabinets look outstanding and I'm thrilled with the new paint color!

The technician, Ryan Elmore, was punctual, conscientious, and professional. He made extra efforts to make sure that I was satisfied with the color. He made sure that there was no mess or odor. He revitalized 1978 cabinets and made them look new and contemporary.

They did a beautiful job. They came out better than expected. The only problem was one of the seems started to open a few weeks later and there was one spot that was rough. They came out and fixed both problems. We also were told they could do certain stains by one sales person and another by a second sales person who took over because the first one left the company. We were delighted with the second person's offering. We were also pleased with the neatness of their work, they covered everything. And their communication and politeness were great. We will be using them for our bathroom cabinets.

Color change on kitchen cabinets looks amazing! Sheen on doors not quite the same as the boxes but close. New dark color chips off easily. Pablo was amazing! He has excellent customer service skills! Very quick process! For the price we could redo cabinets every couple of years. Follow up review 3/24/2014: Cabinet finish not holding up well. Color chips VERY easily. There has been no follow up from company to check on our satisfaction. Wish we had spent a extra and just refaced cabinets.

We had old oak kitchen and bath cabinets stained, painted, and new hardware installed. We were very happy with the outcome. Jose and his crew were hard working and professional with an attention to detail. They also requested and accepted owner input. Mike Hawkins was very accommodating and easy to communicate with in his supervisorial role. They brought our 1980's kitchen and bath cabinets up to the 21st century. It is hard to believe they are the same cabinets. We would recommend this company to anyone interested in cabinet restoration.

The workers were fine but the product was lousy. It is not holding up and you can see where the original was. They had a process that shortened the time but it wasn't good quality. The product comes right off and I can also see how they didn't paint thoroughly. I called the salesman back because there were a few things and he never called back. I didn't have a problem with the workers. They were overly priced for the product they had. They were doing a rush job and that's probably why we ran into problems.

They did a beautiful job, all in one day. No fumes, no dust, and he even scrubbed our kitchen floor on his hands and knees afterward. Our kitchen looks great! Maple is a difficult wood to repair, and the two gentlemen accomplished it beautifully. Really nice guys too.

I was very happy. You can tell that they know what they are doing, and they are good at it. They really made my cabinets look great. They were responsible, reliable, and punctual. Most importantly, they were easy to deal with.
