### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Steve, April 2025**

> Excellent work done by Allison at Hanford Cabinet & Woodworking. I look forward to bringing my next project their way.

**★★★★★ — Sally Scott Interior Designer, Dec. 2019**

> We have had the privilege to work with Beth at Hanford for the past few months. The project is ongoing and is growing each day! Beth is a steady, talented, patient, enthusiastic force on the job. She orchestrates several sub contractors easily, while at the same time provides  excellent service to the Client. The kitchen design and quality of the cabinets, the master installers and her team are true craftsmen. It has been inspiring and I look forward to working with Beth on more projects.

**★★★★★ — HU-845380, July 2016**

> We commissioned custom-designed display cases for our museum galleries.  Hanford Cabinet and Woodworking did a masterful job replicating the design and color of our existing cabinets and producing exactly what we envisioned.

**★★★★★ — sewandsow, Feb. 2016**

> Every talent was exceptional:  from design, to cabinetry, to tile, electric and plumbing.  Attention to the details and coordination sped the project  right along.  We are so pleased with the results, we went with them for our master bathroom remodel.

**★★★★★ — sheilamcp, Feb. 2016**

> We can't say enough good things about our experience.  Our kitchen project went smoothly from start to finish.  We worked together to address all of our needs and to keep costs under control.  We wanted to improve the traffic flow, replace the floor, replace a sagging garden window, create useful work centers, and tie the kitchen area into the dining area and living room since these areas are all parts of one big open space.  Steve and Linda are experiences professionals who had good ideas for addressing all these needs.  The work went smoothly, with all the worked we'll-coordinated.  We love the end result

**★★★★★ — mgreenspan1017, Feb. 2016**

> We saw the work that Hanford designed, built and installed at a friends house and after meeting with Steve Hanford and seeing the shop decided to ask Hanford to create bedroom furniture for us. From the design stage to the installation everything was highly professional and the result exceeded our hopes.
>
> I certainly would recommend them whether it was to a kitchen or custom cabinetry for any other part of your house.

**★★★★★ — Kountry Kraft, Sept. 2015**

> We have been working with Hanford Cabinet & Woodworking for some time now.  They have been nothing but a pleasure with which to work and collaborate.  We couldn't be more pleased to have them as a valued contributor to Kountry Kraft.

**★★★★★ — User, July 2015**

> Hanford Cabinet was more than helpful in planning, building and maintaining high quality service of our beautiful, efficient, working kitchen.  They were patient, flexible and always available for consults, changes and concerns.  They met all deadlines and worked well with other professionals to bring everything together on time and smoothly.  Through the years, I have called on them to tweak this and that, and they respond quickly and are at my door within a day.  They have built several pieces of furniture for us such as a cherry platform bed and nightstands and gorgeous custom bathroom cabinets and mirror frames.  I can't say enough about the quality of work and service.  Hiring them for our next job would be a no brainer!

**★★★★★ — bryanphillips7, July 2015**

> My wife and I are very happy we decided to use Hanford Cabinet and woodworking for the kitchen and closets in our new home. Their attention to detail and professionalism transitioned our vision into a reality. Steve and Linda spent a lot of time tweaking design aspects and budget issues before we even comitted to using them. Deadlines were realistically set - they were very honest about how long each step would take and kept us updated throughout the process. The few glitches that were encountered, as are inevitable with any project, were resolved quickly.

**★★★★★ — Debra Alt, Jan. 2014**

> I really hope I can capture the glow of my appreciation for Beth Veillette who was recommended to us by a friend whose kitchen we loved.  We originally had only planned on replacing our worn cabinets and malfunctioning appliances and tried to find someone to help guide us in a cohesive direction.  I was initially impressed with Beth's bright demeanor and enthusiasm for creating new kitchens and fell into an easy description of what we hoped to accomplish.  My husband and I had different visions and senses of style so when Beth presented her plan to us shortly after meeting with her we were so blown away that we took the leap to committing to gutting out and renovating completely.  What she did was incorporate our respective feelings needs and preferences and designed a kitchen that not only created more light and space, but helped to bring in our sunroom which had previously been a separate gorgeous entity.  So in essence what she did was expand the beauty of what was existing and created a new space of function and beauty.  If her design and vision was not enough, what was equally if not more remarkable was that our reluctance to enter into a contract of such magnitude was met with a solid confidence that the deadlines would be met and assurance that her ongoing relationship with the subcontractors enabled her to keep her word.  Now if anyone knows anything about building contractors, that is a tough promise to keep.  Yet each trade delivered with integrity and the final coat of our floor dried the calendar day after our contract said it would be completed.  So truly Beth's attention to detail and relationship with the contractors and suppliers and her love for the art of creating functional beautiful living space, all combine to make working with her a fulfilling pleasure.  My kitchen is a delight and my only regret is that it's completed and I don't get to see her smiling face that much any more.

**★★★★★ — Interior Archaeology, Dec. 2013**

> I am an interior designer specializing in upscale interiors coast to coast.  I have had the opportunity to design cabinetry and work with some of the best cabinet builders in the business. I can also tell you that my specifications and expectations are rigorous and demanding and there are not many cabinet builders who are up to the task of executing our designs.   I can honestly say that Hanford Cabinetry & Woodworking is at the top of my list and are capable of pulling off every detail of our designs from wood species selection, cabinet door styling, function, and finish.  Every detail you can imagine, they are skilled incorporating, from obscure glass selections, LED cabinetry lighting, even the specialized English hardware we are so fond of specifying, is installed seamlessly.  I also enjoy the process of designing with them, they are open to doing something different and show eagerness to make my vision a reality.  And the where others might skimp, Hanford goes the extra distance utilizing the latest technology in drawer glides and cabinet latches.  Opening a drawer or cabinet made by Hanford feels like cashmere under the slide of your hand. Stephen Hanford is a master cabinet builder and his team is the best in the business.  You've struck gold if you've discovered Hanford Cabinet & Woodworking!

**★★★★★ — hondeegee, June 2013**

> We worked with Beth Veillette, a custom kitchen designer for Hanford.  She was great.  She listened to us, showed just enough to choose from, and then she got the job done and done well.  Beth made everything a piece of cake.  She knows what she's doing and she takes very good care of her clients.  She kept us on track.  The best!
