Justina Auer

Justina embraces the perfect balance of knowledge and patience. Her expertise in design and ability to understand project requirements make it effortless to work with her on any project, regardless of size . She is extremely helpful in creating innovative solutions for space, budget and customer needs. Justina is a true design professional.

I initially chose Columbia Cabinet Works because of their portfolio, reviews, quality of the Brookhaven cabinetry, and my initial meeting with my design professional, Justina. Justina was a delight to work with from start to finish. She really listened and was responsive to my ideas, style, needs, and concerns. She came up with a creative solution to fit the needs of my small kitchen and worked VERY patiently with me to make adjustments and choose the right style and finish. She was extremely generous with her time making countless visits to my home to help me make decisions and was always available by e-mail to give advice or offer suggestions. The kitchen came out absolutely perfect. The cabinets are beautiful and sturdy. Justina is a dedicated and enthusiastic professional with a great eye for design and attention to detail. She was an absolute pleasure to work with.

Justina is the epitome of a true professional. She listened to our wants, wishes, concerns and requirements and provided clear and concise advice along with a kitchen design that far exceeded our expectations. My husband and I are both engineers and tend be detail oriented and like to have a range of options before making a final decision. Justina provided with us with detailed design options explaining the benefits as well as the drawbacks of each. The final design provided us with a kitchen that is functional, well crafted, seamless with the rest of the house, and has modern feel while providing the warmth of a craftsman style. Justina's scheduling, budgeting and delivery were exceptional. The product that was delivered belies the actual construction cost due Justina's judicous use of materials and ability to find the right product or material without exceeding the budget. When demolition uncovered structural issues that could have delayed the project, Justina provided instructions and modifications that kept the project on schedule and on budget.

Justina really listened to what we wanted and helped us to accomplish the desired results. She was very knowledgeable about the product line, and also gave us great ideas that we incorporated into the decorating of the overall room. We recently sold our home and purchased a new home, and we have already gone back to Justina for built-in cabinet design. She pays attention to details, is available during the install to help answer any questions and problem solve if necessary.

I hired Justina to design a small (under 600 sq ft) above-garage apartment and was more than satisfied with the results. Truthfully, I went into the project with almost no knowledge of design and construction. Justina was aware of this and made sure to explain her ideas and plans thoroughly enough so that they were clear, but simply enough so that I felt I had a good grasp on them. Justina designed every aspect of the apartment. From the floorplan, to the electrical layout/light placement, to the entire kitchen and cabinets, right down to the wall rails for hanging cups/utensils/pots to save space. She even came up with shelves built in to the walls for books and movies, which not only saves a ton of space, but also looks great! Bottom line, I would recommend Justina to anyone. She was professional, had a great deal of knowledge, and really paid attention to my wants and needs. She made what could have been a nightmare for someone like me a pleasant and unforgettable experience!

What a wonderful experience it was working with Columbia Cabinets and Justina Auer for the design of our kitchen and master bath cabinets. As you can see from the photos on Houzz, the quality and details were outstanding! Justina is so creative and talented and listened to our every detail we wanted in our final project. She was incredibly patient as we worked through the design process and ensured the delivery and installation went perfectly. We would highly recommend Justina Auer and Columbia Cabinets.
