We've remodeled homes, furniture, built decks, installed trim, etc. We have always done the finish work ourselves whether paint, staining, etc. with acceptable results. We recently purchased a dining room hutch from an estate and wanted to retrofit it to a "built-in" cabinet. It turned out good enough but needed finish work. It deserved more than our "acceptable results" from previous attempts on other projects. I ran into Tim and Rory at The Cabinet Finishers and inquired about what they could do for our project. They did a fantastic job. They took a vintage piece, finished it beautifully and made it look new. They made an average DIY carpenter look much better than he is! And great service and integrity. They really know their stuff and go the extra mile to meet expectations. 5 stars plus. We will be taking our future projects to them with no hesitation. **★★★★★ — Mary and Ed Schendel, Sept. 2023** > My husband and I were very happy with The Cabinet Finishers. Tim Knoppe came to our home with sample cabinet doors and patiently held them up for us to see and answered all our questions and concerns. They then gave us a start and finish time which they strictly adhered to. Two young men came and removed doors and drawers and again our concerns and questions were patiently addressed. Three days prior to our finish date Rory Knoppe (as promised) came and protected appliances, cabinets, etc. with paper and plastic sheeting. He then proceeded to refinish our cabinets. The third day the drawers and doors were returned and put back. > We had Gosia Schermerhom glaze them. She sent pictures of a sample before beginning. Gosia did an amazing job and we’re so glad we had the doors and drawers glazed. > From beginning to job end, The Cabinet Finishers were a class act. I’ve already been asked for their name and number by several friends after seeing my kitchen. > Simply put, the cabinets turned out better than expected and we love our kitchen! **★★★★★ — cheritaunt, April 2023** > I can't believe how The Cabinet Finishers transformed my kitchen! They changed dark cabinets and trim into a gorgeous white, bright and fresh-looking space and I couldn't be happier. Tim and Gosia were knowledgeable and professional in designing the project and Ethan and Stephen were absolute artists in prepping, painting extensive crown molding and cabinet boxes, and reassembling doors and hardware. They gave great attention to every detail and were courteous and pleasant. Their process is well organized and methodical in removing and reinstalling doors, hinges and hardware. Very impressive company to work with and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for this service. **★★★★★ — Dave Holt, Jan. 2023** > The Cabinet Finishers did a "fantastic, professional" job on our three bathrooms, and especially our kitchen. Changing from your standard oak finish to a nice, bright white on all the cabinets was the right move. Our one bathroom actually had the counter cabinet done in black and it turned out awesome! > We couldn't have been more pleased with Ethan, Rory and Drew. What a great family business which really expels their want to make sure the customer is "completely satisfied" with the end product. > These guys explained the process up front, along with the timing. They produced the end product 'exactly' as quoted, to include timing. First, I would like to compliment Ethan on the excitement he shows when doing his job, his dad has got to be proud!. Second, the complements that we have gotten from friends and family assures us that we made the right choice in going with The Cabinet Finishers. > Hey Ethan, we're spreading the word!! > Thanks again guys for a job WELL DONE!! **★★★★★ — mitcca, April 2022** > The Cabinet Finishers is a wonderful, professional company. Between all of my bathrooms and my laundry room, they painted 67 doors and drawers as well as the front and sides of each cabinet. Now 22 year old cabinets are modern and bright. The timing was as agreed upon. The family members who did the job were perfect with containing the dust and smell. Of course they cleaned up when the job was complete. This was a great solution to saving money and not replacing the cabinets. Work with a well respected, hard working family business!! **★★★★★ — HU-655426293, Jan. 2022** > Work was done on time, on budget with professionalism, cleanliness and friendliness. The weather outside was lousy but the cabinets turned out great and the work was inspected and fine-tuned a week later. **★★★★★ — Kathy Reed, Dec. 2021** > What a transformation! Sure glad we chose TCF—they cost a little more, but the finished product is totally worth it. TCF made the entire process—from the initial estimate to the completed job—a pleasure. The promised timeline was adhered to, and every employee we dealt with was great. Steve and Alex were awesome, they even cleaned up when they were finished! We will definitely recommend The Cabinet Finishers to friends and family! **★★★★★ — kreed1972, Aug. 2021** > The Cabinet finishers did an amazing job on our kitchen. Complete transformation- looks like a brand new kitchen. Their process is like no other, and the quality of their work is 100%! **★★★★★ — lifeline3333, July 2021** > We are extremely pleased with the entire process and end result. From the first day interacting with "The Cabinet Finishers" until they finished our kitchen everything was flawless. The team worked very professional from prepping the area, doing the job, to cleanup. They even provide their own recommendations and guidance and did not leave any questions we had unanswered. > > All in all our family rates "The Cabinet Finishers" a 10/10 and we all agree, we have a "brand new" kitchen. (Before / after pictures attached) > > I will definitely recommend "The Cabinet Finishers" to family and friends. > > \- Isabel, Bloomfield Hills 7/2021 **★★★★★ — Jim G, March 2021** > We just had our kitchen completed by Melvin and Rory. I have to to tell you they transformed our home into a show piece. The job was well done and both were very professional and made us feel totally at ease with the whole process. Zero regrets at all. We had a floor installed prior to them coming out to paint the cabinets, they were sure not to disturb that project, they then came back to complete theirs! Now that’s customer service. Well done guys!! **★★★★★ — HU-325142197, Feb. 2021** > I cannot recommend The Cabinet Finishers enough! Rory and Tim were top-notch in my cabinet refinishing. They were fast and cheap. Thank you very much for the fantastic service. **★★★★★ — Kathleen Hattie, Aug. 2020** > The Cabinet Finishers were a pleasure to work with. Everyone was extremely professional, from the salespeople who came for the initial consultation to the crew who came to finish our cabinets. The finish crew, Stephen (with a PH) and Kevin where outstanding. Their work was meticulous, the cleanup spotless and they kept us informed as to the process along the way. We couldn't be more pleased with the results and will recommend TCF to anyone and EVERYONE! ## Selected projects - [Kitchen in South Lyon, MI](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-in-south-lyon-mi-pj-vj~1071111) - Location: South Lyon, MI - Photos: 11 - Description: Pre-catalyzed, lacquer-based paint application.
