### Reviews

**★★★★★ — korlandomaxwell67, Feb. 2026**

> Schmitz Woodworks created the kitchen of my dreams.  It was everything I wanted and more!  Their craftsmanship is superb and we couldn't ask for better personal service.  They made this remodel so much fun!  Thank you, Samantha, for all of your creative help.

**★★★★★ — Kevin Holm, Feb. 2025**

> Schmitz Woodworks did an incredible job building and installing custom cabinetry for our kitchen and two bathrooms. We were concerned that custom cabinets were beyond our budget, but after comparing the total installed cost of stock, semi-custom cabinets to Schmitz' offer, we found their pricing to be fair and competitive. Even better, their service and quality is top notch. Sam made excellent suggestions in planning the drawers and cabinets, and helped select high quality hardware. They made numerous visits during the course of our remodel to measure and recheck dimensions, and delivered the finished cabinets on time. Their installation crew is very professional and worked with very high quality standards. We're so happy with the finished product! A few months later we hired them again to build a cabinet in the entry adjacent to the front door, and it came out exactly how we imagined. It's been over a year since the remodel work was completed, and we couldn't be happier that we chose Schmitz Woodworks!

**★★★★★ — Sheri Lancaster, Sept. 2024**

> We have used Schmitz Woodworks for several projects including a full custom kitchen, pantry, laundry room and bathroom linen closets. Throughout the process each time, Sam and Dave have been excellent communicators, thoughts partners and designers - helping to bring our vision to life. Their install teams are timely, courteous and do fantastic work. The cabinets themselves are always designed to be aesthically pleasing and more importantly, functional! We have been able to add so much useful space to our home by partnering with Schmitz on design.

> I am looking forward to more projects with Schmitz in the future and cannot recommend them highly enough. Their cabintery will truly be a differentiator in your home. Thank you Sam & Dave!

**★★★★★ — HU-172276208, Aug. 2024**

> We highly recommend Schmitz Woodworks. Our interior designer did some research and asked around about our best options in the area and Schmitz came on top. After a visit to their shop we decided to go with them. Our kitchen was done ahead of schedule, and every step of the process was handled with exceptional profesionalism.

**★★★★★ — HU-745215370, Dec. 2023**

> When we first set out to completely remodel our kitchen, we felt at a loss about how to proceed to get more countertop space and cabinet storage while also making room for a larger refrigerator. After disappointing contacts with other designers, we finally found Sam at Schmitz Woodworks, who cheerfully showed us the way forward. Sam was an absolute pleasure to work with, as was her dad and the whole team at Schmitz. She quickly came up with a beautiful and creative custom cabinet design that also served as our overall roadmap to a new, beautiful and way more functional kitchen. I have to say that the overall design and installation experience with Schmitz was as close to perfection as I can imagine, and definitely the most fun and rewarding part of the whole remodel project, which is what moves me to write this review (only the second online review I’ve ever written). To sum it all up, 5 plus stars for stunningly wonderful results, patient and sure guidance, easy and enjoyable experience, and excellent value to cost ratio.

**★★★★★ — ljp\_123, Nov. 2023**

> I recently engaged Schmitz Woodworking for my kitchen cabinetry needs, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results.
> From the outset the team at Schmitz Woodworking discussed various options and helped me navigate choices that allowed me to get maximum functionality within my financial boundaries.
> Moreover, their customer service was exemplary.   Throughout the project, the Schmitz Woodworking team promptly resolved any issues that came up during the project installation and addressed any concerns or questions I had.  Their dedication to ensuring customer satisfaction was evident in every interaction.
> The final product—a set of beautifully crafted kitchen cabinets—exemplifies their superior craftsmanship. The attention to detail and precision in construction far surpassed my expectations.
> Overall, Schmitz Woodworking's commitment to deliver top-notch quality and exceptional customer service makes them an absolute standout.    I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking high-quality cabinetry without breaking the bank, accompanied by unparalleled customer care.
> Kudos to the entire team at Schmitz Woodworking for their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to customer satisfaction!

**★★★★★ — Cara Finn, Nov. 2023**

> A new kitchen is a big, emotional project and expensive.  Cabinets make or break the whole deal. After looking at a few different cabinet options, custom, semi-custom and pre fab, I realized that going with Schmitz was actually the best value.  Not only did I get exactly what I wanted, but Sam, Dave and team made sure it was perfect.  I am beyond thrilled!

**★★★★★ — marymac1918, Nov. 2023**

> My Schmitz bathroom and kitchen cabinets are as beautiful as they are functional.  Team Schmitz is amazing to work with from project design, planning, construction to installation — the smallest of details were not missed.  And when I changed my mind and a wall, they were flexible making changes with ease. Schmitz was a delight to work with, they made my home renovation project an on time on budget success.

**★★★★★ — Steve Auten, Nov. 2023**

> This was our first kitchen remodel, lots of unknowns, and we needed the opportunity to visualize outcomes. We had a pretty good idea for what we wanted but add Sam Schmitz, the showroom, some awesome CAD designs, and we locked things in pretty fast. Timing of construction was right on, cabinet installers did an excellent job, and my favorites was the person that I would call "The Closer". This person was the last in to QA/QC the installation and make any final tunings needed. All had a very nice attention to detail.
>
> Great work Sam and the rest of the team!

**★★★★★ — Lisa Miroyan, Oct. 2023**

> My husband and I recently moved back into our home after a 15 month remodel project.  Schmitz Woodworks did our cabinetry and we couldn’t be happy.  Every aspect of the project with the Schmitz Woodworks was top-notch.  During the design phase with Sam and Katie to the construction and installation, every member of the staff was knowledgeable and professional.  It’s always a pleasure to work with people who excel in their skill set and it’s an even greater pleasure when those people are kind, thoughtful and have a sincere desire to help you design and create a living space that is just what you envisioned.  Quality cabinets and great customer service are what you get from Schmitz Woodworks!

**★★★★★ — zacharybachmeier, Aug. 2023**

> We had an amazing experience with the Schmitz Woodworks team. We had a lot of ideas about the design of our kitchen and their team helped plan, ensure perfect functionality and maintain budget.

**★★★★★ — Cari, May 2023**

> High quality cabinetry and unparalleled customer service. Start to finish the team at Schmitz are true pros. They made my project as seamless and enjoyable as possible, and have my highest recommendation.
