Cabinet Refacing Companies in Charlotte

“I am a 57 year old male who, along with only my wife's assistance, has refaced my entire kitchen by using support services and materials provided by The Cabinet Joint, specifically working with the owner, Brian Long. Our project is almost complete, and I would like to express my views concerning Mr. Long and his company. 1) I am a typical DIYer with carpentry skills ranging from low to excellent, depending upon the specific task. My tools are mostly basic quality, but function as intended. Before becoming involved with the Cabinet Joint, my knowledge of cabinets and refacing was ZERO. I would not have been able to explain the difference between a raised panel and a shaker door, I did not know how to measure a door opening to determine the proper door size, I did not know what any of the following terms meant: door overlay, hinge boring distance, raised panel door, shaker door, returning molding on itself, etc. I had not the faintest idea how concealed hinges worked. I did not know how to properly install cabinet doors, drawer fronts, or end panels. 2) Our laminate counter top badly needed replacing. So we decided to purchase a quartz counter top to place on our exsisting 1991 builder grade cabinets. We soon realized, however, that putting quartz on our dated, honey oak cabinets would be a foolish investment. Since our budget would not allow full cabinet replacement in our medium size kitchen, I spent months researching refacing options. We decided to call one of the big boxes to get a refacing quote. I received 3 phone calls from the big box prior to our quote meeting, with the big box representative stating each time "please ensure that both of the financial decision makers in the family are present at the meeting", and then they asked for my wife's full name. Of course, this sent off alarm bells for me, so on the 3rd call, I asked to speak to the regional manager of this big box operation. Without identifying himself by name, he came on the phone and said "here's the deal...our refacing STARTS at $432 a linear foot, and that is with just basic veneer, not wood grained." My kitchen contains about 35 linear feet of base and wall cabinets, so a basic big box reface would have cost between $15,120 and $21,000 for VENEERED frames. 3) As a result of all of the above, I spent several more weeks looking for alternatives. By sheer luck, I stumbled onto the web site for The Cabinet Joint. I called them, and Brian Long answered. I discovered that they provide 1/4" thick actual wood (vs. veneer) to reface with, and they provide it in your choice of finish. I told Brian I would call him back, and dug deep into the website. I discovered a vast array of solid wood doors in every conceivable style and finish, along with exact match, real wood refacing materials. 4) But I also discovered something even more important. Since I was unsure if I could do this job myself, I began asking Brian Long about the entire refacing process. Without exaggeration, I asked him literally THOUSANDS of questions of the course of several months via both phone and email) before I even made a purchase. And guess what? He calmly and completely answered each and every one of my questions to the best of his ability. Try to find that kind of customer service elsewhere, especially if you have not committed to a purchase yet! This customer sevice is what sold me on the company. 5) I made a partial order in October 2015 for materials to reface a small section of cabinets. I considered this a "test section". Well, with my moderate skills, and the knowledge gained from The Cabinet Joint, the "test area" came out beautifully and far beyond my expectations. 6) I continued to purchase material, and continued to ask questions. 3 months later, while remodeling other rooms in addition to the kitchen, the cabinets are 95% complete. I will attach before (light oak) and after (Dark Bordeaux solid hard maple) pictures. Understand that in the pictures, the floor has not been refinished yet, the toe kicks have not been installed, and the backsplash has not yet been installed. Also understand that the pictures do not do this kitchen justice. I cannot imagine a better made door than the Conestoga Brand, and I have never experienced customer service the likes of which is provided by The Cabinet Joint. In fact, it is almost like they partner with you to help you complete your kitchen. That being said, however, for a refacing project, you are not hiring their labor, and they are not on the job with you. It is up to you, as the homeowner, to make the final and critical decisions concerning your project. When a company is not on-site and cannot view your project in person, the most that can be expected from them is to provide you with some possible suggestions. After all, you are not paying money for their extensive design work, nor their labor. However, for only around $5,700, I was able to give myself and my wife a kitchen to be proud of, and the lifetime inner glow of a job well done, with the much needed help of The Cabinet Joint. I cannot say enough positive things about Mr. Long and his Company. If you are willing to take ownership of your project, and if you are willing to ask questions and receive knowledgable answers, The Cabinet Joint is the way to go. This kitchen was done for about $5,700 in materials, not including the backsplash and quartz counter top. We will be forever proud of our accomplishment, and we have and always will strongly recommend The Cabinet Joint.”

“I have worked with Luke many times he always out performs expectations on quality, budget and ability. A true professional.”

“We have worked with The Hogan Company for many years and they always exceed our client's expectations!! Their ability to create custom furniture and cabinetry is outstanding and the techniques used to create one-of-a-kind pieces is unsurpassed. They really take the time to discuss each project and offer samples and various choices to make any ideas come to life!”

“We purchased a house in February 2016 that was built in 1996 and needed a lot of work. Our original plan and budget was to gut the kitchen and put in new cabinets and wait to redo the 2 bathrooms. After looking over the cabinets and realizing that all of them had pull out shelves I began to rethink the cabinets. "Fine Grit" was highly recommended by two people I came in contact with when remodeling this home. I called Katie and she called back the same day and we set up an appointment so she could see the job. Katie has a design background and is very artistic. She immediately saw the potential of our master plan. We wanted to open up the kitchen, add to the adjacent wet bar and make an island. She was able to expand on the idea of increasing the wet bar by moving leftover cabinets from the kitchen to the wet bar. Katie has excellent business sense, confidence and a great personality. When the meeting was over we had a plan, we had paint colors nailed down and a quote was quickly sent to me. I was able to do my two bathroom cabinets since I saved money by not tearing out the kitchen cabinets. She also gave advise on wall/trim paint colors and made a sample of the floor stain I wanted so I could see what it would look like with the cabinet paint color. Katie was flexible and great to work with on this project. I was comfortable with her and her employees having access to my house to complete their work. Katie set me up with Devon to do my reclaimed wood open shelves over the wet bar. Fine Grit will take care of you from start to finish with your best interest in mind. Katie waited for my floors to get finished before she came back to put on the cabinet doors because she didn't want them to get accidentally damaged. My cabinets are BEAUTIFUL! Katie does a high quality paint job and uses techniques to get the best finish possible. My cabinets are smooth and look brand new. People can't believe that these were the original cabinets. Plus, all the time and mess I saved by not ripping out the cabinets. I was able to get my remodel project done in 8 weeks as opposed to an extra 4 weeks to measure and deliver new cabinets. I would highly recommend Katie, Devon, Wes and Trinity for your remodel.”

“After spending considerable time looking in vain for a qualified builder for a custom display cabinet for my 6-foot tall scale model, I was excited when I finally found Citified Woods. Following an initial phone conversation, Myers Guthrie visited my home to gain an insight of my project, and after a 15 minute conversation, I was 100 percent certain he fully grasped what I wanted. He promptly created a few preliminary CAD drawings for my review and proposed several changes and enhancements that I hadn't considered. Myers then provided a detailed contract which I approved and he began work on the cabinet immediately. As the project was nearing completion, he brought the unfinished piece to my home for a test fit, lighting check, and assembly/disassembly trial run. This courtesy, along with several revisions and enhancements to the cabinet detail and lighting system, was extended at no charge or adjustment to the initial contract. I am elated with the completed display cabinet as it has by far exceeded my vision and expectations, due mostly to the exquisite workmanship and creativity of Citified Woods. The project was completed in a timely manner at the original contract price. Myers Guthrie knows what he's doing when it comes to fine work working; he is remarkably creative and loves the challenge of a unique project. I would highly recommend Citified Woods for any high-end, custom woodworking project.”

“J. Guthrie just finished installing new cabinet doors and hardware in my kitchen. He did a superior job. Very dependable and efficient. I do not have any pictures, but Jason might have taken pictures.”

“We had the best possible experience working with the Hartley Group. They are extremely professional and easy to work with. We had some ideas to renovate our kitchen and after meeting with their team, we knew our exact plan of action. They make communication very easy by using a customer portal where you have access to the project calendar, you can upload pictures and ideas, send messages, and even make payments. I work in Real Estate and have recommended The Hartley Group to many clients and I have never heard one complaint. The quality of their work, attention to detail, and respect they show by leaving the job site clean every day is amazing.”
