Very professional and attentive to detail! I would highly recommend this company to anyone who puts quality first! **★★★★★ — Lois Bankston, July 2020** > Our experience with Toulmin was personal and professional from day one. Jay and his staff were very knowledgeable about all aspects of their trade, and they kept in close touch with us about the progress of the project. Everything from start to finish was carefully laid out, and there were no surprises. The finished project was gorgeous. We very much recommend Toulmin and would definitely use them again. **★★★★★ — Steve Herrington, Dec. 2019** > The guys at Toulmin Cabinetry and Design have been great to work with. Their knowledge of current trends and designs helped us tremendously in making our decisions. Helping us pick out cabinets of quality was also a big help. They have been great to work with after the sale and installation. They have been quick to respond to any questions or concerns we have had. Thanks guys **★★★★★ — Lynn Fleming, Oct. 2018** > Toulmin Design was fantastic at designing my dream kitchen and laundry room. They successfully incorporated our wishes into a modern updated kitchen. Cabinets, tiles and features were of excellent quality. They worked with our contractors in time efficient manner. We are well pleased with the entire process. A neighbor called it stunning! **★★★★★ — G Arnett, Feb. 2018** > We highly recommend Toulmin Cabinetry. Both Jay and Mary were very professional, knowledgeable, and customer focused from our first meeting all the way thru completion of our home. The contractors used and the materials provided were all first class, resulting in exactly what we were looking for in our kitchen and baths. Their results are a home we are proud of and plan to enjoy for years to come.. **★★★★★ — Morris Germain, May 2017** > We did a considerable amount of research looking for the right design and cabinet for our kitchen remodel. Quality, i.e. solid construction of cabinets, good customer service and a designer who could help us with a useful design were all important. Toulmin fulfilled this prerequisite flawlessly. Our designer Mary Lauda Corwin presented practical and sensible ideas. In addition, her communication with us was superb concerning timelines during the entire installation process. If anything changed or as we had questions along the way she got back with us timely and stayed on top of things from beginner to end. > The cabinets we purchased through Toulmin were from Shiloh and every detail, including joints, frame construction, and finish was beautiful and will provide a long time lasting finish. > While the appearance of the cabinets was important, installation was equally essential. Toulmin’s installer Norm Miller, took considerable pride in his work and paid attention to every detail to ensure things were level, and all molding and trim work was completed professionally. Countertops and tile work also were professional and only added to the quality work done that preceded the counter top and tile installation. > I am not one to be shy if I think work is not being done properly or if there is poor communications “after the sale”; I will freely express myself. Thus, any reading this should know that I do not strive to write favorable reviews unless I think they are genuine. Toulmin came through on all fronts for us. The Toulmin folks, including owner Jay Young made frequent drop bys to view the work along the way to be sure everything was done well, including things that we may not have considered. Toulmin has our recommendation hands down. **Comment from Toulmin Kitchen & Bath:** > THANK YOU Mr. Germain! It has been such a pleasure working with you. I hope you don't mind we posted this picture of you & Mrs. Germain & Mr. Miller in your new almost finished kitchen. We cherish the relationship and please let us know if we can be of assistance in the future. Thank-you, The Toulmin Team **★★★★★ — RJ Voorhees, Dec. 2016** > Our cabinets and counters have just been installed, so this may be slightly premature as a review for our overall experience, but we enjoyed and were please with our design sessions, our designers, and overall staff interactions. The product installed is beautiful and we are expectantly looking forward to living in the home shortly and utilizing all of our new kitchen space! As a customer I could not recommend Toulmin any higher. You'll be pleased. **★★★★★ — Michael Innis-Jimenez, July 2016** > From design to checking-in after we've had a chance to settle into the new space, everyone we dealt with at Toulmin was amazing! > > The job: They gutted and rebuilt our kitchen, tiled most of the first floor, made built-in bookshelves, and created new entryways to make our first floor brighter and more open. > > Toulmin: Their designer created the blueprints and then Toulmin handled everything. Drew and Michael supervised the job and were always available to answer our questions. Their workers came when they said they would, and were always courteous. Their high level of professionalism was an extremely pleasant surprise. I had high expectations for what I wanted the finished space to look like. Toulmin work and the finished product could not have been any better. In addition, they finished the job on-time and within the agreed-upon budget! > > I look forward to working with them when we renovate our bathrooms in a couple of years. **★★★★★ — Donna Clary, May 2016** > We moved into our new home in January of 2016. Toulmin Cabinetry and Design did a fantastic job designing and installing our cabinets in the kitchen, bathrooms, and master closet. We could not be happier with the results. We provided Jay and his team with inspiration pictures and they took our dream and made it a reality. Their attention to detail was amazing. Everything turned out exactly as promised. During the planning stage, questions or concerns were responded to immediately via text, email, or by phone. We love everything they did in our home and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering building or remodeling. We would enjoy working with them again and again. It was a fun and exciting time and a great experience! **★★★★★ — Marcia Hay, May 2016** > Our experience with Toulmin Cabinetry and Design has been spectacular and we would highly recommend them to anyone else thinking of building a new home or doing a remodel. We have very much enjoyed working with Jay and Michael and we knew that they would take care of everything. It was really comforting to know that what they were building was going to look beautiful. All of the professionals working with the company have been top-notch. We are really excited to move into our new home and we know that we will enjoy it for many years to come. If you are thinking of building a new home you won't find a better company to work with than Toulmin. **Comment from Toulmin Kitchen & Bath:** > THANK YOU MARCIA! It was such a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — Marsha Grady, May 2016** > I loved working with the Toulmin team on the kitchen, baths, master closets, and laundry room for my new home. The team is friendly and customer focused, and their design expertise was crucial to achieving the look I was going for. They delivered on schedule and with all the follow-through to make it right. I would recommend them to anyone building new or remodeling! **Comment from Toulmin Kitchen & Bath:** > THANK YOU Marsha! It was a pleasure working with you! Jay **★★★★★ — kmccurnin, Feb. 2016** > We had Toulmin remodel our entire home. The kitchen was the primary focus. Our project was completed on time and under budget. > We highly recommend Toulmin and would certainly use them again. Michael, Drew, Jay, > Mary Lauda, Savanna and Jonathan were all terrific to work with and are true professionals. > Thanks to all for a job well done! **Comment from Toulmin Kitchen & Bath:** > Thank you so much!
