Within the category of "Best of the Best", Craig sits at the top. I couldn't recommend his work enough. He has an eye for the big picture design and functionality, while at the same time paying extreme attention to the detail. We are thrilled with our new kitchen and consider ourselves lucky to have a kitchen designed by Craig.

Craig was amazing to work with! His expertise and design knowledge were just what we needed for our kitchen and bathroom remodel. He addressed all my concerns promptly and efficiently and was very detailed in making sure things were done just right. I would highly recommend Craig to all my friends and neighbors!

Thank you so much Rachel!!! It was great working with you. I loved how everything turned out. Thanks again!!!

This is the 3rd time I've hired Craig to design cabinets for me. I wouldn't go any where else as he has a can do attitude, quality product and fair price. For a custom cabinet, you couldn't do better. He really cares about the entire process from beginning to end. Many companies I've dealt with in the past get the job and move on but Craig cares right till the end. Plus his installers are courteous, punctual and clean up after themselves. Thank you Craig/Team for continuing to make my home dreams a reality!

Beautiful craftsmanship, wonderful service, incredible attention to detail. I love it all! Cottonwood certainly is the cheapest company around, but they are definitely the best in quality and reputation in work.

Craig is amazing to work with. He came into our home and saw a vision immediately and then delivered that vision ten fold!! Our new designed cabinets in both the kitchen and bathroom exceeded our expectations in both style and quality. Not only did everything look amazing, but Craig’s attention to detail and high expectations of his workers was impressive. Craig also has the most positive, happy attitude that can make anyone’s day. I will recommend Craig and his team to everyone I know. In fact I recommended him to a friend who was in a time crunch and he came through and she was very pleased. Thank you Craig!!

We had an outstanding experience working with Craig on our home remodel project. Craig is very professional and helpful during the design and selection process. He provided us with great examples of past work he had done to help us visualize the design we were looking for. His team also was very courteous and professional during the installation process. We are very happy with the results and highly recommend Craig.

We are retired and often cook together, one person chopping and cleaning up, the other tending to the stove. So that we don't bump into each other we wanted a kitchen with lots of uninterrupted counter space and wide aisles to easily move around open appliance doors. A nice feature was the microwave oven installed under the island counter-top because we are both ":vertically challenged". We chose to have one large sink, which keeps the island completely free for food preparation or serving buffet style. Craig is a very good listener. He helped us design an attractive, uncluttered, good working kitchen. He responded to our concerns personally and in a timely manner.

Craig was absolutely amazing to work with. He helped us redesign and maximize the space in our small kitchen with beautiful, custom cabinets. I'm quite sure our project was 1/10 the size of his normal jobs, but he always treated us like we were his most important clients: he was always kind, responsive, dedicated to making sure we ended up with exactly what we wanted, and never pushy. He is one of the best professionals I've ever worked with, and I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again.

Craig has an eye for detail and a creative flare for design, which is highly sought after when it comes to custom cabinetry. We have been partners in the construction industry for years, and plan to continue our relationship for many years to come. We would whole heartedly recommend Craig Veenker for any custom cabinetry project.

I started meeting with Craig about 9 months before my home was to be completed. He had a rough design of every room in my home that needed cabinets. We would go room by room modifying every area the way I wanted. Craig was great at taking my ideas and drawing them up and making it happen. I would give him pictures or drawings of what I wanted to create and he would jump on it. He was also great at giving me ideas as well. We met almost weekly and I was so impressed at how much time and attention he put into my project. He was never in a hurry or made me feel rushed. Craig went out of his way to make sure I was completely happy with the finished product. I love my new home and cabinets! I would highly recommend Craig to any one that was building a home.

Craig has been wonderful to work with. He comes up with great designs. He arrives when he says he would. There is never any feeling of pressure. Combine that with a fabulous end result and it has been a great experience to work with Craig.

Craig Veenker is a true professional and it has been a great pleasure working with him. We are building our "dream home" and Craig designed our cabinets. In addition to the normal kitchen and bathroom cabinet requirements, we also had some unique demands. My wife has a craft room with very customized storage requirements for her various supplies. We also have a doll collection and numerous family heirlooms we want to display. Craig spent a great deal of time making sure he understood all our desires and was very attentive to every detail. He also helped us understand the various trade-offs between functionality and styling and the impact on the cost. He never tried to influence our decision but always provided critical and useful information to help us make the best decision possible. Craig is very attentive and approachable and always quickly responded to our questions and concerns. In addition to his professional approach, Craig has a very pleasant personality and a very positive attitude. We went through several design iterations but he never complained when we made changes; large or small. There is no question he focused on our needs and did all he could to meet our desires. If the need arises, we will certainly use Craig again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for new cabinets.

Craig Veenker was the salesman who I worked through on my remodeling job last year. I finished a Laundry room and Master Bathroom. Any remodeling job I have ever been involved with has included some unforeseen problems. This remodel was no exception. Craig was easy to work with because he would immediately take ownership of any problems that came up and did all that was in his power to make them right. I never once had to argue with him. He always treated me very respectfully and courteously. Everything was also done in a very timely manner. I was very impressed that he came on several occasions personally to do the work himself in order to get it right. I admire Craig's work ethic, honesty, and how his first priority was to make me happy. He was willing to do whatever it took so that I was satisfied and happy with my cabinetry. He even went the extra mile to get my cabinets just the right color even though it was not one of their standard colors that they usually use.

Craig has been wonderful to work with! He has very good ideas and a great sense of design. We have many built in cabinets in our new home as well as a couple of unique cabinetry pieces that have turned out beautifully. He is very easy to work with and returns phone calls and emails promptly. It was a very positive experience working with him.

Working with Craig Venkeer at Mountain Cabinetry was a terrific experience. Every aspect of the process from design to production to installation went smoothly. Craig helped me design cabinets for 6 bathrooms, kitchen, family room, laundry room and office. I love the finished product, and I highly recommend Craig and Mountain Cabinetry!

When you work with Craig you work directly with him getting his attention and quick responses. Any time I have had a need or an idea he has responded the same day quickly and with answers. I had a few ideas of my own and Craig was able to see exactly what I was thinking about and met every wish. I will definately use Craig if I ever have a need for cabinetry again. He instills confidence and I felt I had made a new friend working with him. My cabinets are beautiful. Everything has soft close hinges and the attention to the small details gives me a quality above my expectations. Craig is honest and will follow through until everything meets his professional level of achievement.

I had a great experience with Craig. He was always super positive and willing to make any changes we wanted and was willing to bring in specialists to get the color just right. He is very good at functional design.

Craig Veenker is by far one of my favorite contractors on my home. The best thing about Craig was that he listened to me and my designer. Thats so important when your doing something a little out of the box. We built a home that was very original. I loved his artistic ability to just draw out exactly what we would describe or if we showed him a picture he would nail it and also add a little to make ut that much better.He was able to pull of sleek looking Modern/Craftsman cabinet in my kitchen, to old barn wood cabinets in my guest bathroom. I love my cabinets!!! I consider Craig not only our cabinet guy but a friend. I can not say enough good about this guy. Thanks Craig you Rock!!! Jenea Rothwell

This is my second time working with Craig. He provides excellent customer service and has a good eye for design. In designing my custom cabinets, we worked closely together to get the just the right color and style for each room. I would highly recommend using Craig/Mountain Cabinetry.

We worked with Craig at Mountain Cabinetry. The entire process from planning to instillation was smooth. The cabinets throughout our house look great. When we had an issue months later with a door not closing properly they promptly came out and fixed the problem. I would recommend them to anyone.
