Cabinet Installers in Washington D.C.

“We had a 5-star experience with District Cabinetry (also known as District Custom Woodworks)! It started with the careful and thoughtful consideration of our needs and preferences in discussions with owner Benton Chrea. He asked great questions and listened carefully to our answers! He came up with a preliminary design that we modified with his help into its final form. We were so pleased in the planning stage for the initial project caused us to add 2 other projects for other rooms. In the end, he did a huge built-in for the study, another large one for the master bedroom, and transformed a very complicated master closet footprint into a design that maximized every bit of space available. He personally visited the house twice to ensure good measurements and to be sure that we all visualized the same end product. Benton will tell you that I have a lot of construction experience (as a developer and builder), and I quizzed him on technical details of the design that he was unused to from customers. Let us just say that we were at the same time discriminating and exacting and he had excellent answers to all of my concerns. The project was finished on time (actually, a little earlier than originally planned) and was finished exactly on budget. Frankly, in the beginning, I thought the proposed charges were kind of high, but we had seen some of his work and his showroom and had developed faith in him, his product and team. The final product is beautiful, met all our design and quality goals, and is clearly engineered and manufactured down to the millimeter. His installation team was fantastic! They spent the better part of 3 days installing and tweaking everything, making sure we understood how to take out the drawers (a little tricky, as they are fancy, really nice, European hardware), etc. The installers were friendly, careful, respectful of our home and were clearly focused on achieving a quality result and pleasing us. So, in the end, my concerns over price were entirely unfounded, because the time invested in creating the design, the quality of the actual product and the care and professionalism of the installers proved to me that my wife was right – we really should pick District Cabinetry for our project! We unhesitatingly endorse Benton and District Cabinetry! We love and use our 3 built-ins every day and appreciate their work (and our investment) every time we use it! We just finished building a pretty complex home and this vendor is at the top of our list in every respect. Our biggest regret in our new home is that we had to buy our kitchen from our builder, Toll Brothers. We would have much preferred to spend that budget at District Cabinetry to get a unique and custom kitchen adapted precisely to our tastes and needs, where our smaller projects tell us that they would have excelled! Please don’t think that I am a gushing kind of person. Neither of us are. We are simply that pleased! This is easily some of the best money we ever spent on any of our homes! If we can refer District Cabinetry to anyone, we will certainly do so. If we can use them again, we would not hesitate. In today’s world, getting what you paid for is a challenge. We got what we paid for in product and in service and could not be happier about it! PS I attach photos of the study built-in. It is hard to photograph the other ones, given their location.”

“I have had the pleasure to work with East Side on our mid-century renovation project which required entirely custom cabinetry. The design featured radius corners and figured walnut; both integral to the design's success. Both elements created challenges that could not be fabricated by just any company. East Side lived up to the promises as you can see by the design. David Brandon, owner and founder also put into fruition our vision of a louvered sculpture pedestal and the second floor louvered cabinets in the homes curved study which was again complicated with meticulous details. David and his right hand man Mathew met the inherent challenges with intelligence and meticulous hand; and with a competitive bid. Now East Side is a reliable company that Donald Lococo Architects has added to our list of craftsman and we do not hesitate to reach out to and refer.”

“We love our new kitchen. Carefree Kitchens provided the highest quality cabinets. They have a great show room which gave my husband and me a lot of ideas. They were able to match the color we provided from a paint swatch to perfection. They were also very clever in providing us some extra features inside the cabinet that gave us ample storage space.”

“In all our years of having work done on our home, we never had a more pleasant experience. From design to execution, Eric Smith and his team were the consummate professionals. The team always ensured perfection when it came to their work and were a pleasure to work with them on planning and execution of the project. Eric and team met deadlines, stayed within budget, and worked consistently to ensure that as customers we were satisfied. A wonderful experience over the course of about two months in building an addition to our home.”

“Metropolitan Woodworking was recommended to us by a neighbor in our Bethesda condominium. We were taking a fairly small second bedroom and changing it from a bedroom space into an office/guest bedroom. What Dave Scholar immediately understood was the "space" issue. His built-in was exactly the right size to meet our needs and to keep the room as open and spacious as possible. Doug, Dave's craftsman, was wonderful in his workmanship and his courtesy at arriving when scheduled and cleaning up after each appointment. We could not be happier. We now have two neighbors who after our room converted are having their rooms renovated in a similar way. We cannot say enough about how happy we are with Metropolitan Woodworking and the room they created for us. Elizabeth & Dale Snape”

“We have used to build a number of pieces in our home. We started with kitchen cabinetry and wall case for books and dining ware. We moved on to a TV stand that raises for watching and hides it out of sight when it is not being used. We also had Jay build a bookcase that fit into an unusual spot. All of our pieces were built by a craftsman - that is crystal clear. Jay is meticulous, transparent, and fair. He works very hard to make sure he understands your expectations and adjusts as necessary. His pricing is fair and everything is very open. For our first piece (and the first time we used Jay) he hunted for another wood supplier because he felt like the price was too high for us. It was, and we appreciated the extra effort. When COVID hit and Jay had to delay our last request, he was very responsive, letting us know each step of the way where things stood. We will use him for our future needs. He is just an exceptional craftsman and person.”

“The process of kitchen remodeling is inherently a stressful procedure and the people of Kitchen Saver made it as painless as possible. Each individual was totally professional and knowledgeable about his particular task, from the sales associate and office staff to the plumber, the electrician, the carpenter and everybody else associated with the job. They took care to protect our carpeting, floors and walls when going in and out of our home and they cleaned up completely before leaving every day. The finished product is beautiful and we couldn't be happier with the job!”

“My experience with Gerry Hurley couldn't have been better. I was hoping for a serviceable bookshelf. Instead, I was given a unique and wonderful work of art which, besides fulfilling all my practical requirements, has become the aesthetic centerpiece of my living-room. Gerry is an old school craftsman with a thoroughly modern flair for design. He's fun, he's conscientious, he listens to his client, and he delivers on budget and on time. I'd give him extra stars if I could. Lynne McKelvey, NW Washington DC As an architectural photographer myself, I had the pleasure of watching Gerry design and complete two mounted bookshelves for our apartment. He is thorough, beginning with an extensive consultation on what we wanted, and how it would fit into our existing decor. His completed work shows that he is true craftsman who take great pride in his work. I would certainly recommend him highly to any client seeking custom-made projects for the home or office.

“What I liked most about granite works was that Ari really helped me find a great color granite that worked beautifully in my kitchen (and was not expensive!) The work was very professionally done and prompt.”

“Zen Cabinetry is an outstanding organization that delivered on their promise to provide us with both a quality kitchen and bathroom make over. The remodeling crew was efficient, courteous and highly skilled. Frank Wang, the overall project manager paid close attention to every detail and was flexible as needed. Would highly recommend them.
