Everyone was professional and courteous and the quality is phenomenal. We had a previous custom home and used a different cabinet company, Modern provides a much higher quality product. **Comment from Modern Design Cabinetry:** > Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! I'm so happy our team did an incredible job for you - yay!!! Let us know if we can be of service in the future! **★★★★★ — Jon W, March 2025** > The process with Modern Design was very detailed, and when completed the cabinets and install was gorgeous. WE have had many compliments on our cabinets. **Comment from Modern Design Cabinetry:** > Thank you, Jon, for you nice feedback!! SO glad to hear that your cabinets (and the install) was gorgeous!!! We sure appreciate it!! **★★★★★ — Bryan, March 2025** > Of all the vendors that we used for our custom home, Modern Design was clearly the best. Every step of the process was a joy, from working with the designers to the engineering to reviewing the shop drawings to the final installation Modern Design was creative, helpful, professional and produced exquisite work. We had some unusual features in the home that came out exactly how we had dreamed due to their engineering creativity and attention to detail. It is an impressive organization that I highly recommend. **Comment from Modern Design Cabinetry:** > Thank you, Bryan! We're blushing, but greatly appreciate your amazing feedback!! We thoroughly enjoyed working with you on your project! **★★★★★ — Lynn and Ken, Oct. 2023** > Modern Design Cabinetry created a beautiful updated kitchen for us. For years, my husband and I discussed remodeling the basic, worn kitchen in our 1989 house. We both bake and cook a lot. We envisioned a kitchen that was lovely and efficient. When we began researching cabinetry options, we looked for quality-built cabinetry and the option to have help with design. After our first visit to the Modern Design Cabinetry showroom, we knew Modern Design was our choice. We are delighted with the work they did for us. > > Nichole, one of two interior designers at Modern Design, was wonderful. She worked with us from her initial visit through the whole process. She was a great listener and a creative problem solver and offered design suggestions that seemed just right. We are very pleased with every design decision we made, including wood choice and color, accessible and abundant storage, and hardware that is a delight to see and touch. > > Brian, who was our project manager/draftsman, also excelled at listening and problem solving. He was a concise communicator, with attention to detail and a kind personality. Because of Nichole and Brian’s expertise, we have more accessible storage in our kitchen than we could have imagined possible. > > Russ and his crew were meticulous in their cabinetry installation. I appreciated their positive attitudes, thorough work, and the care they took with our existing wood floors. > > Everyone who worked with us, from Kristi, who greeted us at the showroom on our initial visit, to the two-person crew who carefully delivered our new cabinets and organized them on our living room floor to await installation, was an outstanding representative of Modern Design Cabinetry. We think of them with thanksgiving when we look at the beautiful cabinets they made for us. We recommend this outstanding company! **★★★★★ — HU-389696515, May 2023** > Amber was exceptional in suggesting the perfect design for our small kitchen. The installers were meticulous and put in extra time getting everything perfectly level. Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — Charlie and Andrea Snow, April 2023** > We have used Modern Design for several areas in our home...bathrooms, laundry room, pantry, kitchen, closets...from start to finish, the experience has been awesome. Listening to our needs, matching architecual design/feel, adding in their experience based design elements, adjusting to those unexpected remodel challenges...could not ask for more. Shout out to Amber, Brian, design/build team and installers...Thank you. **★★★★★ — Michael Allen, March 2023** > We have worked with Modern Design Cabinetry on several projects, and they have all turned out fantastic! Our clients always find that working with their design team is very professional and the installers to a great job as well. **★★★★★ — Erik B, Feb. 2023** > Modern Design Cabinetry built and installed a large bar, bookcases and bathroom vanity for my basement renovation. I found MDC after seeing their work on another project. Within a fews weeks they had come out to take rough measurements, discuss generally what I needed and sent me a drawing of the cabinets along with what I believe to be a very reasonable quote. I needed a cabinet built specifically for home theater equipment, a couple cabinets had large HVAC vents routed under them, a unique bar layout, and a specific door panel design. They delivered on all of it and everything was custom. Install was also smooth and the installers were able to make a few adjustments once they started. Highly recommended. **★★★★★ — sboesch1983, Dec. 2022** > Our experience with Modern Design Cabinetry was amazing! From our first interaction with our designer through the drafting and install process everyone was so kind and accommodating. Not only is Modern Design able to add their expertise to my design ideas, but they were also willing to step outside the box for custom cabinet features that take our spaces to the next level. We will definitely plan to work with Modern Design in the future! **★★★★★ — Brandi H, Dec. 2022** > We love working with the entire Modern team! They are professional, knowable, and honest with timelines even when I don't like the answers. :). **★★★★★ — gcsteiger, Nov. 2022** > We love everything Modern Design did. We did a kitchen remodel along with some built-ins. Amber was so helpful on the design end and Dave and crew were great to work with on the installation end! Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — Denali Custom Homes, Inc., Nov. 2022** > DENALI Custom Homes has worked with Modern Design Cabinetry for many years quite honestly, because they are the BEST in town. > The quality of craftsmanship, creative designs help set our custom homes apart. Their knowledge and expertise comes along with the utmost attention to detail and above and beyond in customer service. > Modern Design has always been and always will be our go to for outstanding custom cabinetry! ## Selected projects -
