Wouldn't use them again. Ended up In legal dispute which thankfully we won.....Countertop badly designed and ended up going to Island Cabinet's to solve the problem.... **★★★★★ — Wendy, Dec. 2015** > I hired Liz Van Essen of CaproCabinets to do a kitchen renovation that involved lowering and adapting existing oak cabinets and designing a centre island. Her excellent listening skills, innovative ideas, attention to detail and consistently high standards in completing the task made the results beyond our expectations. This renovation has withstood the test of time and I do not hesitate to recommend Liz VanEssen to others seeking high quality renovations. **Comment from Cabpro Cabinets:** > Thank you Wendy for your kind review! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you both on the changes, and you had no trouble articulating what you wanted done; such specifics are always so helpful . I'm so glad that the changes have made a huge difference to you, making your work in the kitchen so much more enjoyable. Thanks again for taking the time to write in! > All the best, > Liz **★★★★★ — fmac52, Jan. 2015** > Cabpro Cabinets did a complete renovation to our 1970's kitchen. Having a professional come in and plan the best way to utilize our space was the best money ever spent. we now have a kitchen that is beautiful and it is easy to work in as it is convenient. There are so many little details that Liz pointed out to us. Like using drawers instead of cupboards for out dishes. task lighting was placed exactly where we needed it. the kitchen flows well now and seems so much more spacious. We certainly have more counter space as well as shelving for storage. It is now a beautiful bright pleasant area to work in. Liz was always ready to answer any questions and listened to our concerns. A pleasant experience and a great result. I would not hesitate to use this company again in the future. **★★★★★ — ciniglio5, Dec. 2014** > Liz Van Essen of Cabpro Cabinets designed and installed our new kitchen. She suggested that we had granite countertops, and light maple cabinets as the kitchen is at the back of the house and can be dark. Liz suggested an island which is fabulous and made our small kitchen seem much larger. We gained nine drawers and now everything is within reach of either stove, fridge and dishwasher. The design has made the kitchen, which is small 12 x 12 feet, seem large. I have plenty of room now. The granite is a real show stopper and was installed by Matrix Marble and Granite. I could not be more happy and satisfied with my new kitchen. Liz designed our last kitchen 23 year ago. We have been more than satisfied both times. Liz spent a lot of time with me picking out colours to make sure everything matched and it does. > Many thanks to Liz. **Comment from Cabpro Cabinets:** > Thank you so much for the great review - I'm so happy you love your new kitchen and find that it has all the storage you need. I think we utiilized every space to it's advantage. > Thank you for your loyalty and coming back after so many years! we feel honoured by that. Enjoy your new kitchen in good health and happiness. **★★★★★ — maryannemcadam, Nov. 2014** > Liz Van Essen of Cabpro Cabinets worked together with us over the course of 4 months as we completely rebuilt and reconfigured our house that was originally built by us in 1984. From the design of our amazing kitchen and 2 bathrooms to reconfiguring closets, co-ordinating wall colouring and flooring, we were finally able to move in to our beautifully re-designed home in February of the following year. Liz was always available to guide us along the way and I would certainly recommend her services. As well as our home, Liz has redesigned kitchens for my mother, a sister, and a daughter. We continue to enjoy entertaining our ever-growing family and many friends. Well done Liz! **Comment from Cabpro Cabinets:** > Thank you for your kind review Maryanne!

A: Hi - either a laminate print made to look like stone, or a natural stone such as granite.
