We were lucky to find Cadence Cabinetry’s web site that had a photo of a particular finish we were looking for. Benjamin met with us quickly and was able to meet the rushed schedule. We also asked his team to do some “firsts” that included cable shelving, a slick/lacquer type of finish, and a mirrored pantry style cabinet for a master bath. Benjamin is a creative problem solver and easy to work with. The entire Cadence team is super nice and has integrity. We appreciated the honest and straightforward communication, attention to detail, and willingness to do what was needed to make it right. If you have high quality standards or are looking for something less “run of the mill”, contact Cadence! **★★★★★ — Ryan Koessl, Oct. 2023** > The team at Cadence us just wonderful. The time and attention to detail is outstanding. They really take your vision and turn it into a reality. Jennifer was so good with her design and added features we didn't think of. We would highly recommend using them for any of your custom home needs. **★★★★★ — Karolyn OToole, March 2023** > We are very pleased with our kitchen remodel. Ben’s suggestions made it larger , more efficient and very attractive. Ben and his crew were exceptionally patient, friendly and responsive. **Comment from Cadence Custom Cabinetry, Inc.:** > We are so thrilled with how your kitchen came out! It was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — trishkoeppel, March 2023** > Cadence Cabinetry did a phenomenal job with our kitchen and 1st floor remodel. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail were exactly what we were looking for in our custom cabinetry and updated space. Their team was incredibly friendly and responsive in creating the design to match our style. The installation was perfect and the results are truly amazing! **Comment from Cadence Custom Cabinetry, Inc.:** > We truly enjoyed working with you on your kitchen remodel. We hope your new kitchen brings you much joy for many years to come! **★★★★★ — mikemackin, Feb. 2023** > Cadence did an incredible job on 3 custom projects: custom built in bookshelves and crown molding in an office, a hidden jib door and trim work in our entryway, and woodwork and trim in our golf sim. They were incredibly responsive, creative, and their craftsmanship is impressive. I would highly recommend them for any custom cabinetry/woodworking project. **Comment from Cadence Custom Cabinetry, Inc.:** > Thank you so much for the recommendation! We hope to see you again soon. **★★★★★ — Jacqueline Cyphers, June 2022** > Cadence was wonderful to work with! Before starting our kitchen remodel project, Benjamin asked several fantastic questions that helped us consider what the goal of our project was. Our meeting in the show room to finalize our project layout and decide on finishes was also outstanding. We asked many questions and Benjamin was able to talk us through any part of the project as we made decisions. He also helped steer us in the right direction when thinking about the functionality of our space. These interactions alone would be enough to warrent a 5-star rating! As we actually started our project, we got to work with more of the fantastic team. Our project manager kept us up to date with how our project was progressing with consistent updates. The team members that came to install cabinets were friendly and talented and made sure every detail was exactly right. Even the Cadence recommended electrician and tile workers were excellent. We could not be happier with our kitchen remodel and regularly comment to each other that it is now our favorite part of our house! **★★★★★ — HU-22774422, June 2022** > Cadence recently finished our complete kitchen remodel, and we could not be happier with it. Our project manager and the team delivered a superior product on time and on budget (and the total cost was markedly lower than other estimates we'd received). Communication was seamless, and there seemed to be no friction in hiring and scheduling various subcontractors. We highly recommend Cadence, and will use them again when we re-do our bathrooms. **★★★★★ — Alexis Chekouras, Aug. 2021** > From start to finish, working with Benjamin and his team at Cadence Cabinetry was a fantastic experience. We completely finished our basement and from the beginning we knew Benjamin understood our vision and end goal. The craftsmanship, professionalism and integrity he and his team brought to our project made our large construction project an enjoyable one. It’s worth noting the project spanned 4 months from November 2020-February 2021. Even having a large scale construction project in our house over the holidays did not add any stress thanks to the open communication between the project manager and myself. Highly recommend working with Cadence. We look forward to working with them on future projects. **★★★★★ — Randy Krehbiel, July 2021** > Working with Cadence Custom Cabinetry was an absolutely wonderful experience! Benjamin took the time to really understand our needs and exceeded our expectations! He offered great advice throughout the construction process that ultimately gave us the perfect kitchen. I love how he took the time and asked questions, challenged us on our layout, and offered ideas that improved the flow of the kitchen. > I would highly recommend Benjamin and his team (they were all very friendly, professional and respectful) to anyone considering a remodel project! > > Karla K **★★★★★ — HU-526218382, May 2021** > Cadence did a brilliant job remodeling our master bathroom in August 2020. > > Benjamin was instrumental in the design stage and helped define our vision which he matched with our budget and spacial constraints. He was thorough, enabled easy decision-making and offered opportunities to utilize remnant stone to reduce cost. > > Frank the foreman was our primary day-to-day contact. He was punyctual, professional, friendly and responsive. He went the extra mile on several occasions and served as a tremendous resource. > > We have since sold our home but we would absolutely consider using Cadence for future projects. **★★★★★ — John Siniawski, Feb. 2021** > While renovating and adding-on to our 126 year old Victorian on Lake Michigan, we engaged Holly Hendersen Interior Design and Benjamin from Cadence Custom Cabinetry to create a true working kitchen. Our priority was to have a highly functional kitchen but one that captured the charm of our old house but in a modern way. That target was hit in exceptional fashion. The team took our input and turned it into a space I love to cook in, open to the new additon and our splendid views. Blending the 19th and 21st centuries. The thought put into, the flexability and the quality of the cabinetry is everything we asked for. Matt, the lead installer, not only did and excellent job he took our crazy schedule and convenience into consideration at each step. I am not big on writing reviews but in this case, felt compelled to do so. Great job and thank you for making cooking so much more enjoyable. **★★★★★ — HU-276864375, Dec. 2020** > If you are looking for quality custom cabinetry I highly recommend you give Cadence Custom Cabinetry an opportunity to quote your project. > > This is a group of friendly, hard working professionals who are client and detail focused. Cadence handled our home remodel which included a complete rehab of our kitchen and master bath as well as updating our vanities in 2 additional baths. This all during Covid! > > There are many great ideas on Houzz. We started there for ideas and allowed Cadence to deliver a superior if not more superior product than what we found on the sight. ## Selected projects - [Lake Forest Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-forest-kitchen-pj-vj~2707700) - Location: Lake Forest, IL - Photos: 10 - [Farm Style Wood Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/farm-style-wood-kitchen-pj-vj~2711382) - Location: Grayslake, IL - Photos: 13 - [Lake House, 3rd Lake](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-house-3rd-lake-pj-vj~481959) - Location: Third Lake, IL - Photos: 22 - [Country Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/country-kitchen-pj-vj~2485459) - Location: Beach Park, IL - Photos: 10 - [Beach Park Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beach-park-home-pj-vj~1258925) - Location: Beach Park, IL - Photos: 8 - [Kitchen on Appletree Lane](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-on-appletree-lane-pj-vj~1219835) - Location: Northbrook, IL - Photos: 12 - Description: This couple wanted to open the kitchen, so we removed the wall. Hand-made white shaker cabinetry lends a light, clean feel to the kitchen, and contrasts well with the dark counter tops. The natural cherry pub table accomdated the clients desire for both a small island and a eating area, but not combined. It also warms up the kitchen. This kitchen is inundated with organizing and storage accesories, such as 6" spice pull-outs, shallow drawers where standard doors wouldn't fit, and roll-out trays… - [Custom Bar & Wine Rack](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-bar-and-wine-rack-pj-vj~1262700) - Location: Kenosha, WI - Photos: 3 - [Grayslake Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grayslake-kitchen-pj-vj~2485218) - Location: Grayslake, IL - Photos: 9 - [Bathroom Vanities](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathroom-vanities-pj-vj~2485450) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Modern Kitchen, Lake Villa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-kitchen-lake-villa-pj-vj~537316) - Location: Lake Villa, IL - Photos: 4 - [Cherry Kitchen, Buffalo Grove](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cherry-kitchen-buffalo-grove-pj-vj~619087) - Location: Buffalo Grove, IL - Photos: 11 - [Vernon Hills Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vernon-hills-kitchen-pj-vj~2485427) - Location: Vernon Hills, IL - Photos: 7 - [Round Lake Beach Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/round-lake-beach-kitchen-pj-vj~2485390) - Location: Round Lake Beach, IL - Photos: 8 - [Wheeling Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wheeling-kitchen-pj-vj~2485374) - Location: Wheeling, IL - Photos: 3 - [Home Office](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-office-pj-vj~2485267) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Lake Zurich Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-zurich-bathroom-pj-vj~612977) - Location: Lake Zurich, IL - Photos: 2 - Description: These hand-made Alder wood cabinets fit perfectly in the space allowed, and gave a lot of storage space not found in the original bathroom.

Thank you. Jolynn A: This tile is handmade in Italy, but I didn't provide it, so I don't know the manufacturer. Sorry! **Q: Wondering about the tile? Name and manufacturer?** *(in Photo Questions)* Love this look and wanting to do something similar A: This tile is handmade in Italy, but I didn't provide it, so I don't know the manufacturer. Sorry! **Q: What color and manufacture are the tiles on the wall?** *(in Photo Questions)* Looking for similar tile, please provide details. Thanks A: I'm sorry, I don't have the info on those tiles. The homeowner had them brought in from Italy, through the tile company she was using. They are beautiful, we get a lot of comments on them! **Q: What do I do on sides of fireplace?** *(in Design Dilemma)* I will have a horizontal wood cabinet to put on left side of fireplace with 60" TV. On right side will have stereo cabinet but I am afraid it will get lost on that wall. Ceilings are 18' tall. Ideas..??? A: Grover's advice makes sense and with the added custom cabinetry the space will look beautiful. **Q: what would you change in this kitchen?** *(in Design Dilemma)* kitchen design A: A design is all about an individuals preference in style. The cabinets could use an update and remove some of the glass. Add a contrast in cabinet color to the bottom set. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-08.*
