The entire team at Simpson are exceptional human beings, their singular mission is to provide an exceptional customer experience---mission accomplished! We could not be more pleased with the cabinetry and every interaction we have had with the team. We unequivocally recommend Simpson Cabinetry---you won't be disappointed. Thank you for making our kitchen dreams come true! **★★★★★ — Larry Michaels, Feb. 2019** > We've known about Simpson Cabinetry's work for many years and when it came time to choose a cabinet-maker to assist with remodeling our kitchen the choice was easy. Our house is on the smaller size with funky angles and challenging design options. Simpson's communication, attention to detail and "can do" attitude resulted in a gorgeous, functional, timeless kitchen - we love it. > > Additionally, what sets any company apart is how they respond to challenges. When dealing with uneven walls, floors, and other imperfect situations rarely does a project of this size go from cradle to grave without a needed tweak. Whatever the issue and whether we found it or they did, they took care of it. And when we requested a change they were more than fair and accommodated our request whenever possible. Thank you Betsy, Wil, Dan and the rest of the crew. **★★★★★ — Janet Birnn, Dec. 2018** > My husband and I have owned our home for 27 years, so we had a lot of time to plan our kitchen/living/dining room remodel. However the house had many parameters that need to be considered- i.e. radiant floor heating (embedded in concrete, I might add), limited relocation possibilities of existing plumbing, and because of the unusual shape of the kitchen, not one 90° angle along the back wall. > Despite all this, Andy, Dan, Betsy and crew delivered a stunning creative custom kitchen on time and on budget, with a minimum of disruption to the rest of the house. Even cleanup was amazing!! > We highly recommend Simpson Cabinetry and Catamount North Construction- you will not be disappointed with their workmanship and performance! **★★★★★ — elcrary, Dec. 2018** > We looked at several companies in the Burlington area when we were redoing our kitchen. Budget was a large factor but we also wanted something that could stand up to very heavy use. Simpson Cabinets above and beyond were the most recommended to us. We are completely thrilled with our experience with them and the quality of our cabinets. The design presented was nice and they were easy to work with when I wanted modifications. When one of the cabinets had a small glitch, they were here the same day to fix it. We are a busy family of five and the cabinets have held up very well to bumps, bangs, spills, and, more frequently than I would like, stood up to a constant soccer ball banging into them! We have hired them again to do our bathroom this coming winter. **★★★★★ — Greg Anderson, Dec. 2018** > Betsy and the team at Simpson Cabinetry created a beautiful custom walnut vanity and tower cabinet for my new master bathroom and I couldn't be happier with the quality and craftsmanship. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for custom wood cabinetry! **★★★★★ — Tony Carita, Dec. 2018** > If you are looking for a quality of cabinets that can not be matched by the box stores and service that is top notch....look no further. As an off and on contractor who has custom built kitchen cabinets in the past, and visited their shop before pulling the trigger, I can honestly say you will be hard pressed to match the quality of the product or the level of service. **★★★★★ — Bobbi Giroux, March 2017** > My husband and I began our journey with building a new house last April. The kitchen to us is the "heart of our home". We wanted quality and functional cabinets for our kitchen. Working with Andy, Betsy and Dan was an amazing experience, they were all very knowledgeable, professional and timely with responses. We were feeling so confident with their expertise that we had them do both our bathroom vanities. They were able to give us everything we were looking for within our budget and on time.Their work surpassed all our expectations !!! I would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering building or remodeling a kitchen or bath. > Thank you Simpson's !!! **★★★★★ — natalielessing, Aug. 2016** > My husband and I just built a new house, and we put a lot of time, thought, and research into building our dream home! Our most important room in the house was the kitchen, as we love to cook and entertain. We searched for quality cabinets, but just did not find any to meet our expectations. Then, we were introduced to Simpson Cabinetry, and we knew our search was over. Betsy was kind enough to ship us door samples so we could see just how beautiful the craftsmanship and quality Simpson Cabinetry devotes their expertise in creating. Betsy, and the designer contact, Dan, were just the most wonderful, and patient people to ever work with during our entire building experience! Building a house, you deal with so many trades, and they were a breath of fresh air, because of their dedication to their products, work, and creations. The attention to detail, and their appreciation of always listening and wanting to fulfill the customer's requests are far and beyond anyone's expectations. We live in New York, so we constantly emailed, spoke, and texted all hours of the day, and sometimes evenings, and Betsy and Dan were always there to answer my questions, lend advice, and discuss what our dreams were. We hired Simpson Cabinetry to come and install the cabinets, and that was also a super decision we made along the way. Andy and his crew came and were the nicest guys we ever met, and their attention to detail of hanging, and looking over the cabinets were just as precise as the beautiful craftsmanship they put into every single piece. These are all wooden cabinets, with soft close, and dovetailed drawers. These are truly an American Made company! The crew were also as clean as can be!! They vacuumed up every saw dust piece that may have fallen, and were tidy the entire time they are in our home. After the cabinets were up, I just cried in joy of how gorgeous our dream kitchen came to be! It was everything we wanted and more! The craftsmanship is unmatched by any other company we have ever seen, and the loyalty of this company's employees are a diamond in the rough. Every visitor to our new home loves our house, but is absolutely in love with our kitchen! The kitchen makes our home our show piece, and it is because of the dedication, hard work, and attention to our dreams, Simpson Cabinetry is the greatest company one could ever hire. If you want a showcase kitchen, if yo want quality that surpasses all in the field, if you want your dreams to come to fruition, then you need to hire Simpson Cabinetry. It was the best decision we made in our entire home, and will always be the heart of our home. **Comment from Simpson Cabinetry:** > Thank you so much, Nat! It was such a pleasure working with you - we are so thrilled at how happy you are with the kitchen! **★★★★★ — Riverlight Builders, Inc., Aug. 2016** > We are a design/build firm specializing in high-end, custom residential projects. We were delighted to discover Simpson in 2015 and have purchased Simpson cabinets for numerous custom kitchens as well as a number of bathroom and laundry room renovations. Their quality and service are exceptional and they always deliver on time and on-budget. Riverlight Builders looks forward to continued collaboration with the Cabreras and their fantastic team. **★★★★★ — essexgirl13, April 2016** > My husband and I went on the exciting, yet stressful journey of building our dream home in 2015. With Simpson Cabinetry our dream came to fruition! We initially sought out Simpson to build a custom fireplace; we provided them with a black and white, 1920s image of one we found online. With only this image, and the amazing talent of Wil and the other Simpson staff, they created a real-life piece of functional art that we will enjoy for many years to come. In addition, they designed and installed our fabulous and functional kitchen, mudroom lockers, kitchen nook bench seat, and a bathroom vanity. We were impressed with their attention to detail, patience, professionalism, and down-to-earth personalities. The quality of their work and budget friendly price points couldn't be beat by any of our builder's contractors. **★★★★★ — chriskesler, Jan. 2016** > We worked with Andy, Wil, and Betsy at Simpson Cabinetry in 2012. They delivered beyond our wildest expectations and almost 4 years later, the cabinets still look brand new. Every person who sees our kitchen asks where we had our cabinets done. We always refer them to Simpson. Our friends are always amazed by the fact that they can get custom cabinets at a price point close to what they would spend to get prefab (Lowe's, Home Depot, other kitchen design shops). Hands down, this is the way to go if you want it done right at the best quality and best price... not to mention the increased value it brought to our home. **★★★★★ — squashvt, Nov. 2015** > Our 1929 bungalow still had its original cabinets - in 2014! Wow, were we ever ready for a change! Simpson Cabinetry came in and helped us come up with a plan that worked with our existing space. Now we have a kitchen we love! The cabinets perform beautifully and we have a Shaker look that fits our house. One really special detail was that Simpson Cabinetry made our counter drawers extra deep along our main kitchen wall. We can fit so much in those drawers! Many thanks to a great team! ## Selected projects - [Stowe Ski House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stowe-ski-house-pj-vj~5765059) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: This contemporary ski house is full of windows and light.

This top is in a house with 2 kids and a busy family. It has held up wonderfully. **Q: Who makes this pullout for storage** *(in Photo Questions)* A: That is a custom pullout that we made in our shop - we often make custom pullouts like this to suit the clients' needs. **Q: Paint!** *(in Photo Questions)* Do you use Benjamin Moore or what is your favorite brand for durability? Lovely Work! A: Thanks for the interest! We use a catalyzed conversion varnish that is sprayed on. Our supplier matches any color - typically Benjamin Moore but also Farrow & Ball or Sherwin Williams colors as well. I believe this color was a Ben Moore color. **Q: What is that beige paint color called and brand name? Love it.** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Sorry - we didn't do the walls for this job. You can contact the builder - Red House Design Build. They may know the beige color. They are on Houzz if you search for them. Good luck! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
