From the start we felt guided, supported and "heard". At the beginning, we shared our goals for this project and Anita incorporated these creatively into a beautiful design. She gave us great referrals for the many "pieces" of the project; appliances, hardware, flooring and backsplash tile; all of which we used and have benefitted from. The contractor Todd and his tradespeople were skilled, personable, talented and thoughtful about working in our home while we were living here. They overcame the challenges that can come with an old home renovation professionally and skillfully. We love the outcome and are grateful to have met this group of professionals. **★★★★★ — Nicole Baker, Jan. 2026** > We absolutely love our new kitchen, and working with Anita made the entire process a pleasure from start to finish. She was a delight to collaborate with—professional, and incredibly easy to talk to. One of the things that stood out most was her communication style. She was consistently responsive, quick to answer questions, and always made sure we felt informed and supported at every step. > Anita talked with us frequenlty to review progress, walk through design options, and adjust plans as needed. She never made us feel rushed or pressured; instead, she listened carefully, offered thoughtful suggestions, and helped us refine our ideas into something even better than we imagined. Her flexibility and patience were invaluable. > We also really appreciated how respectful she was of our budget. She helped us make smart choices, found creative solutions, and kept everything on track without sacrificing quality or style. > The final result is a kitchen we truly love—beautiful, functional, and perfectly suited to how we live. We highly recommend Anita! **★★★★★ — Kelly, Jan. 2026** > I was left without a kitchen for a little over a year when Anita stepped in and said let me design it for you. she designed the cabinets, and me and my girlfriend were deciding on colors, I loved the appaloosa color and we had decided on it when my girlfriend thought she wanted blue cabinets, so we tossed it around between us with no definite decision, we called Anita and were discussing it with her when she suggested we could do a two-tone in our kitchen. It was the best decision we made. I'm totally happy with my kitchen. **★★★★★ — Jo Ellen M., Dec. 2025** > I love my new kitchen! Many thanks to Anita Colby, The CabinetWorks, for designing and delivering the kitchen of my dreams. Anita designed an easy-to-use and functional kitchen, with much needed extra storage. She put together a fantastic team of professionals, who delivered the final product. The team stayed on schedule, only slipping by one day. The cabinetry, workmanship, and colors are beautiful! I get so many compliments! **★★★★★ — Ed and Linda Browne, Dec. 2025** > Anita from Cabinetworks was recommended to my wife and I by Exeter Decorating. We wanted a designer that could work collaboratively with us, but could also bring unique ideas to transform our kitchen. Anita and Cabinetworks delivered excellent service and provided a vision that truly transformed our kitchen. Her attention to detail and technical ability surpassed every expectation we had. I would highly recommend her and Cabinetworks. **Comment from The Cabinetworks:** > Hello Ed and Linda, > Such a pleasure working with you both and your beautiful kitchen. I'll look forward to stopping by soon. > Anita **★★★★★ — Kathleen McJohn, Dec. 2025** > Anita and her team did a great job. The kitchen design has maximized my storage and provided a very comfortable cooking and gathering space. She connected us with excellent suppliers and contractors that allowed us to complete our project by our desired completion date. The cabinets are beautiful and meet all of our functional requirements. Thank you, Anita! **Comment from The Cabinetworks:** > Hi Kathleen, > It was so nice to work with you and Joe on your kitchen and master bath remodel, I love the choices that you made and look forward to stopping out to see it all soon. > Anita **★★★★★ — HU-909317630, May 2023** > Anita w/ The Cabinet Works and her trades people remodeled our master bathroom and it looks absolutely beautiful. We feel her pricing was very reasonable, communication was excellent, the the remodel came out gorgeous! Thank you so much Anita. **★★★★★ — Krystina L, Jan. 2022** > I love my new kitchen. I contacted Anita to remodel my small galley kitchen in my condo. I had a vision of what I wanted and Anita made it happen. This was my first remodel experience and she walked me through every step - meeting with vendors and picking everything down to the hardware. Her team of contractors are top notch and very detail oriented. Tom went over and above during the install. Highly recommend The Cabinetworks for any size remodel! Can't wait to get started on my bathroom. Thank you Anita and team! **★★★★★ — lfortier28, Nov. 2021** > We worked with Anita at the Cabinetworks on our new kitchen as part of a full house renovation and couldn't be happier with the process and the outcome. Anita went above and beyond to take our ideas and turn them into reality, paying great attention to details, and taking the time to walk us through options to come up with exactly the kitchen we wanted. She was great at communicating throughout that process and was super responsive helping us work around timing that was constantly changing with a year of COVID delays on the project! **★★★★★ — Khattar Kassis, Sept. 2021** > Amazing job by Anita and her entire team, everyone was professional and very knowledgeable! We looked at four local well known companies and the Cabinetworks offered us the best kitchen's and powder room's designs and value for our money . The great things about her are honesty, sincerity, and professionalism. Everyone company requested a hefty non- refundable deposit to provide us with a final plan except The Cabinetworks. Anita went out of her way to accommodate us. Reason being, my wife wants an island in the kitchen and everyone except Anita stated it cannot be done and the Cabinetworks proved them wrong. The cabinets quality and workmanship are over the top. Wayne the carpenter did an incredible job from start to finish and we cannot be any happier. **★★★★★ — bradruss, Aug. 2021** > Anita and her team are consummate professionals who listen to the needs of their clients and then provide a series of design alternatives that are satisfy budgetary requirements while also providing the best value for the money invested in the project. Anita's design's are both practical and creative, resulting in a balance between what is trending in the current market and what will stand the test of time in terms of quality and resale value. Anita was on top of every detail and responded immediately to any questions or concerns. She adapted to changes that we wanted to make throughout the project and provided great advice and insight so that we didn't go too far afield from the original vision and concepts. I would certainly recommend her to anyone consider anything from a minor makeover to a complete remodel of your kitchen and bathroom. We tore out everything in our kitchen down to the original studs and reworked plumbing and wiring while staying with the original layout, because it worked well. Anita worked with our contractors over a 4 month period to install custom cabinetry and woodwork as well as new quartz countertops in three areas and a complimentary marble backsplash. We added all new appliances that were a significant upgrade from what we had in the past and we couldn't be more thrilled with the final outcome. **★★★★★ — Beth Geduld, June 2021** > Anita is the absolute best. She is helpful. Always answers the phone and an amazing selection. > On time and most importantly- a great designer. **Comment from The Cabinetworks:** > It was great working with you and Dave, you both get five stars as clients :) I'm looking forward to seeing pics of the finished kitchen, pantry and breakfast bar and would love to stop by next time I'm in your area. Enjoy your beautiful kitchen this summer! ## Selected projects - [Kittery renovation on the water](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kittery-renovation-on-the-water-pj-vj~1120139) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [lakeside rustic kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakeside-rustic-kitchen-pj-vj~819340) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Shaker cherry kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shaker-cherry-kitchen-pj-vj~819331) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Coastal kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-kitchen-pj-vj~819339) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Rustic Log cabin kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-log-cabin-kitchen-pj-vj~1247414) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [kitchen near the bay](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-near-the-bay-pj-vj~202903) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Great Bay kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/great-bay-kitchen-pj-vj~418790) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Along the Maine Coast](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/along-the-maine-coast-pj-vj~1039031) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [lakeside rustic bedroom suite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakeside-rustic-bedroom-suite-pj-vj~819343) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Ranch farmhouse kitchen remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ranch-farmhouse-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~418777) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [IPSWICH KITCHEN](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ipswich-kitchen-pj-vj~346215) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [New Kitchen in New Hampshire](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-kitchen-in-new-hampshire-pj-vj~1238276) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: A complete kitchen renovation.
