I was advised to "paint these galley kitchen cabinets white" on the advice of my realtor, in order to sell my house. So I looked at photos of similar houses for sale that clearly showed kitchen cabinets that had been painted white in an effort to update older out of fashion cabinets. Many looked as if the seller had tried to do it himself. Ugh. I was not optimistic or enthusiastic. I was skeptical that this was even the right way to go. So, I also looked into liquid sanding & re-staining my cabinets, and re-sealing them, and was told they would look a LOT better. One company estimated it would cost me well over $3,000 --and I did not even like or care for the re-finished samples they showed me! After asking a lot of different cabinet people a lot of questions, I just had a really good gut feeling about the answers I got from Steve Fetters of AZ Wood Renovations, LLC. I liked the kind of person he was, and listening to his explanations, I developed confidence in his knowledge, & experience. Thus he won my trust, offered to do the job for $2,100 and I hired him. The result was no less than astonishing. Steve delivered results that far exceeded the result I anticipated. Does this mean I had low expectations? Absolutely not. I am a perfectionist. My husband nicknamed me "Ms. Q.C" (quality control). My cabinets were original to a house that had 7 owners before me, and the fronts of them were in horrible condition. Some of my bathroom vanity drawers needed repair to the degree that several handymen had looked at them and told me they could not repair them. Steve took the job. He knew I was pushing a certain time table. He met my time table, perfectly. He had a friend of his re-build identical replicas of several of the drawers that were beyond repair. Did he charge me extra for this? No. He stuck to his original quote to me, that we had agreed upon. He brought samples of moulding like crown moulding for me to choose from to add to the tops of my plain cabinets, as well as knob samples. He brought a palette of whites for me to select from, (since I had requested white), but he also took some time to look carefully, himself, at the colors in my kitchen tile, and my wall color and my kitchen granite counters before recommending which particular white, of all the many whites, that he thought, in his experienced eye, would work best with the colors in the other components of my kitchen. In the end, I concluded his choice of white, was indeed the right choice, that was my final decision, and I gave him the go ahead. I waited a few days for the big reveal of my cabinets (since I was not living in this house) When I returned to see the finished work, I was wide eyed. I could barely believe it. Steve is no amateur. My finished cabinets had a surface smooth as glass, with just the perfect degree of sheen, not too shiny, just absolutely perfect! I had no worries about the paint ever chipping. Steve had added a hardener to the paint, he explained to me afterwards. My kitchen cabinets and my bathroom cabinets were TRANSFORMED. Doing this not only transformed the cabinets themselves, but the kitchen was transformed, the great room was transformed, the bathrooms were transformed. The result was ASTONISHING. The knobs he recommended were PERFECT. The moulding he had urged me to select, and that he had attached at the tops of the cabinets truly dressed them up, just the right amount, not too much. The moulding was minimal cost and yielded an amazing improvement. The particular shade of white Steve had recommended to me was incredibly perfect. Steve was easy to communicate with by text or phone call, he always got back to me the same day. He was always very specific, never vague. This was a guy whose word I could count on. My husband saw the results and was amazed at the perfection and the quality, and told me that he thought I really chose the right pro. I know I did. I would highly recommend Steve without any reservations, to ANYONE. I had a great experience working with him and I received a truly great result.
