They are exactly what we wanted. You and your team's attention to every detail - the colour, the placement of the drawers and shelves, and the outstanding quality of your work is so appreciated. We enjoy them every day. **★★★★★ — Andrew Fisher, March 2020** > Brian and his team from Cabinet Effects did a fantastic job with our "Butler's Pantry" renovation. Brian had excellent design ideas, material recommendations, and unique additions to the space to help take it from our basic idea to the level of design and impact we were envisioning. Brian was very accommodating of tweaks and changes during the construction process and was very proactive in rectifying any issues that came up. His team were very clean and respectful of the rest of the home, and we had no issues with the quality of craftsmanship. Brian was very good at communicating progress and updating us on the schedule. We would highly recommend Brian and Cabinet Effects for your own renovation! **★★★★★ — Carra Myers, Jan. 2020** > We recently had a house fire and after everything we decided to take on the full tear down and re-build of our home, ourselves. We came to Cabinet Effects through a recommendation from a colleague and from the moment we stepped in to their showroom to the day our installation was complete - it has been an absolute pleasure working with Brian & Leti. They go above and beyond in each and every aspect of their projects - from design and function, to customer service and craftsmanship. Their work is impeccable - our project with Cabinet Effects included our kitchen, mudroom/laundry, a walk-up bar in the basement and a custom credenza for the living room. Each area of our home that has been touched by Cabinet Effects exudes excellence and beauty! Beyond their incredible craftsmanship, they are also all around great human beings and business owners - trusting anyone with a project of this magnitude (after a fire) was hard for me at first, but they quickly gained my trust and I never once questioned working with them. They are experts and so clearly understand design and vision it shines through in their work. I thank them over and over every time we speak but I don't think there is anything I could ever do that would truly show how thankful we are to have worked with them. **★★★★★ — Tracy Nicol, June 2019** > Brian and Leti are an absolute pleasure to work with. They were recommended by friends of ours and we realized why from the start. They listened and understood our requirements and most important to us was that they helped us make decisions on aspects we were not sure about with results that exceeded our expectations. We ended up with multiple projects including custom cabinets, shelving around a new fireplace and mantle in our TV room, updated laundry room and closet organizers. Everything was clear from the start and well communicated to us throughout the project. We could not be happier with the end results and would strongly recommend them to anyone. **★★★★★ — GRAHAM Oliver, April 2019** > Brian and his team have always met or exceeded our expectations with the jobs they have done for us. On time and budget. **★★★★★ — Jennifer A-K, Jan. 2019** > Their work is amazing, high quality and beautiful. They were a pleasure to work with. Everyone there was personable and knowledgeable. I'd recommend them to everyone. **★★★★★ — Peter Heywood, Sept. 2018** > Cabinet Effects transformed our kitchen with a high degree of craftmanship and professionalism, on time and on budget. The success of the project can be attributed to their attention to detail and creativity during the planning stage, including their thoughtful guidance on design features, functionality and selection of materials. We could completely trust Brian and Leticia and their team of professionals. They provided us with frequent updates and conducted quality control checks throughout the project. Their work has made a significant difference to the functionality of our space and once again we enjoy creating culinary delights in our new kitchen. **★★★★★ — Darren Janzen, Feb. 2018** > We had Brian, Leti and the Cabinet Effects team design, build and install our custom kitchen. From day 1 until after installation they were so helpful, quick to respond and gave us the kitchen we had been dreaming of and saving for. They did amazing work and also stand behind their work. I would recommend them 100%. We could not be happier, with the end product as well as the service throughout. Brian answered all of our questions, was patient with us and he made sure we got what we wanted. Thank you for the incredible job you did guys!!!!! Check out their showroom to see the quality of work they provide. **★★★★★ — Luc & Sherri Laderoute, Jan. 2018** > We strongly recommend Cabinet Effect as a preffered contractor from our recent experrience. We had a wall unit, laundry room and and closet organizer and other work done and we were very pleased with the work performed from start to finish. Brian and his staff were very professional and very meticulous to details and keeping you up to date on the progress through the project. Budget and schedule were on track and by far the best contractor we ever had the pleasure to deal with. Thanks Brian. **★★★★★ — toughbananasblog, Sept. 2017** > From start to finish Brian and his team were complete professionals. They have advice and guidance based on our needs and budgets. All the work was completed as agreed upon and within the timeline stated. Brian kept us up to date at every step. The trades he arranged were all top quality and reliable. **★★★★★ — Danielle Hyde, Sept. 2017** > Brian did an amazing job of asking the right questions to figure out our needs and wants for our kitchen. He had tonnes of helpful suggestions and made the whole design process a breeze! > The team who installed our cabinets were also incredible and made sure we were looped in the entire process. They always left the space tidy after a day's work. > Would definitely recommend Cabinet Effects and would look forward to working on another project with them. **★★★★★ — Perry White, Sept. 2017** > The 13' wall unit you and your team designed, built and installed for Corinna and I is absolutely beautiful! Your attention to detail is impeccable. We can't begin to express how happy both of us are with the end result. > Hats off to your entire team. > To your prospective customers I would like to say > " Look no further than Cabinet Effects, you will get exactly what you pay for!!" > > Perry White ## Selected projects - [Blair Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/blair-custom-home-pj-vj~7612944) - Location: Cambridge, ON - Photos: 8 - [Laurelwood Kitchen & Wall Unit](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/laurelwood-kitchen-and-wall-unit-pj-vj~7375161) - Location: Waterloo, ON - Photos: 13 - [Sheffield Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sheffield-farmhouse-pj-vj~7612960) - Location: Hamilton, ON - Photos: 5 - [Claremont Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/claremont-custom-home-pj-vj~5955767) - Location: Kitchener, ON - Photos: 16 - Description: Modern custom home with high gloss charcoal and matte black cabintery with black walnut veneer accents and decor. - [Baden Kitchen & Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/baden-kitchen-and-bath-pj-vj~7402028) - Location: Baden, ON - Photos: 5 - [Waterloo Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waterloo-condo-pj-vj~7612951) - Location: Waterloo, ON - Photos: 6 - [Doon Valley Kitchen & Beamwork](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/doon-valley-kitchen-and-beamwork-pj-vj~7375179) - Location: Kitchener, ON - Photos: 9 - [Deer Ridge Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/deer-ridge-kitchen-pj-vj~7375194) - Location: Kitchener, ON - Photos: 6 - [Waterloo Kitchen & Livingroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waterloo-kitchen-and-livingroom-pj-vj~7375186) - Location: Waterloo, ON - Photos: 9 - [Wellesley Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wellesley-kitchen-pj-vj~7612965) - Location: Wellesley, ON - Photos: 8 - [Kitchener Custom Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchener-custom-renovation-pj-vj~7375204) - Location: Kitchener, ON - Photos: 8 - [Waterloo Custom Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waterloo-custom-kitchen-pj-vj~7375198) - Location: Waterloo, ON - Photos: 6 - [Vistahills Kitchen, Bath, & Wall Unit](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vistahills-kitchen-bath-and-wall-unit-pj-vj~7402045) - Location: Waterloo, ON - Photos: 8 - [Waterloo Custom Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waterloo-custom-renovation-pj-vj~7375191) - Location: Waterloo, ON - Photos: 7 - [Doon Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/doon-kitchen-pj-vj~7402031) - Location: Kitchener, ON - Photos: 4 - [New Hamburg Farmhouse Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-hamburg-farmhouse-kitchen-pj-vj~7375200) - Location: New Hamburg, ON - Photos: 7 - [Laurel Creek Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/laurel-creek-kitchen-pj-vj~7375196) - Location: Waterloo, ON - Photos: 6 - [Custom Waterloo Closet](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-waterloo-closet-pj-vj~5838596) - Location: Waterloo, ON - Photos: 6 - [Kitchener Main Floor Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchener-main-floor-renovation-pj-vj~7375205) - Location: Kitchener, ON - Photos: 6 - [Kitchener Transitional Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchener-transitional-home-pj-vj~1456608) - Location: Kitchener, ON - Photos: 5 - Description: This kitchen was expanded by removing two sets of walls to create a large visually appealing & functional open concept kitchen.

A: That tile was supplied by a local company not from Cabinet Effects, and we unfortunately do not know the brand they used. It is spectacular, we agree! **Q: Depth of drawer** *(in Photo Questions)* Could you tell me the depth of the drying drawer? A: This was a completely custom unit to fit into a wall niche. I believe that this drawer is 20" deep, but could be made to any depth between 12" and 30". **Q: What is that dryer rack made of?** *(in Photo Questions)* What is that made of A: The rack is a decorative stainless steel wire mesh integrated into the drawer's bottom for support. Hope this helps! **Q: What is the vanity colour pls.** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thank you for your inquiry! The colour is BM Coventry Gray (HC-169) **Q: WHERE CAN I FIND THESE MIRRORS & VANITY?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The vanity and mirrors were both custom built and installed to the dimensions of the space. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
