Dallas Cabinet Makers

"Overall went very well. Started the work on time. and worked very hard, very polite, considerate and conscientious. My husband and I are extremely pleased with the final result."

" was very professional and accommodating, he coordinated and suggested another contractor to work with to sand, prepare and spray the cabinet bodies in the Blue colour we chose. The paint was not easy to work with, especially having build and spray the doors and drawers off-site and the other contractor ...more spray the cabinets on-site. The job took longer than either

or we initially thought, but the finished result and the quality of the workmanship are excellent. As with any remodel issues that arise

handled them professionally and any issues (change of project scope ) etc he handled in his stride. We would recommend

's serviecs to anyone seeking quaility, professional work."

"I found here on Angie's List and found him to be very pleasant, knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. After dealing with other contractors who wouldn't call back, or follow up with an estimate, I found 's professionalism to be a breath of fresh air. For whatever reason, the other contractors would ...more not want to do my project, which at first was only going to be a patio rebuild. However, once I called

, I had an appt set up for an estimate to be given promptly.

followed up with the estimate shortly thereafter, and I hired him. Just happy to finally find someone who would help and not treat my job as if it's too small for them. Well,

proceeded to give me numerous ideas on how the patio should be rebuilt. He emailed me pictures, he

diagrams, he patiently explained everything I needed to know in order to make an intelligent decision. I have worked with other contractors and truly appreciated this aspect, as most say they will e-mail pictures, or follow up and they never do. Well,

performed the work, and did a great job, and I love looking at my patio. As for the rest of the work, I hired him because I was having difficulty with my other contractor. I was working on multiple projects at one time, and both of their schedules were freeing up at the same time. I didn't mean to schedule everything like that, but it sort of wound up like that. Well, I asked

if he would look at some of the kitchen cabinetry and lighting, and found his response and bid to be reasonable. I mostly just enjoyed his professionalism, as the other contractor I was using was getting annoyed with some of my requests. I decided to dump him in favor of

. He performed all the work as described, and did a great job. One thing he did help with was picking the recessed lighting. I was very overwhelmed about the process, and

took my hand and we went to Lowe's and he slowly explained my options, and took things out of boxes to demonstrate what the look would be. I was just willing to put something in the cart and go, but he wanted to make sure I understood what I was purchasing so that I would not be stuck with something I would not like. I liked that aspect of his work style, and would highly recommend. He also, always calls back, answers his phone, and is very organized. All in all, I love my new recessed lighting, cabinets (they look brand new), patio, and door. That was a last minute throw in, and he was happy to help. Thanks

"I found on Angie's List. provided an estimate on 3/1/2010. orginally quoted $800 for the job and when I told him I had an estimate for $600, he matched it. I wrote him a check for half and he said it would take "about 10 days" and confirmed that in an email. When I didn't hear ...more back from

in 10 days, I called to get a status. He said that he was having trouble matching the stain and that I should expect it completed the following friday. Again, not a word from

so I called on that Friday. There was no answer and instead of a return call, I received an email the next day. Here's the text... judge for yourself... "I know you have been anxious for the Tub enclosure. Unfortunately, due to suppliers that I rely on for my materials I am two weeks behind on the project I currently have in my shop. that means my client for that project, and the client waiting for me to start their project after this one as well as you are being stacked up. I am putting a check in the mail today for the deposit you entrusted me with almost three weeks ago, as well as the color sample. I certainly had no intention in this delay and it will hurt my business because of this supplier. I apologize for the inconvenience I have caused you. " I have a number of problems with the way

handled this experience. First, when we spoke the week before, he mentioned a stain match holding up the project, not a supplier problem. Either he failed to mention that or his story changed. Second, there was NO communication from

. I called twice in 3 weeks. Third, there was no attempt to call me back and ask if I was OK with a further delay. Instead I get an email with a "sorry and here's your check back". I was anxious to have the job completed, but never communicated a drop dead date of any kind. Call me silly here but I think the job was too small for Mr.

and he didn't want to deal with it. Perhaps he underpriced it wanting the business. I really don't know. What I do know is that he set me back over a month and caused me additional frustration having to engage the bidding process all over again. I don't know why this guy is so highly rated on Angie's List. He deserves an F and is getting one from me!!! If you have a small project don't even bother with

" came over and measured and had ideas to share from his experience on building many bookcases. I accepted some and wish I had accepted a couple of others. The bookcase turned out fantastic-the crown was a super touch and the bookcase fits the space perfectly. Great doors-and he had them ready in a timely manner. A delight to ...more work with-HIGHLY recommend!

is a great woodworker. "

" showed true skill and patience having to deal with the differing measurements to make the curios fit each space. The cabinets were made of maple and stained-and they fit perfectly. is a knowledgeable craftsman who has great ideas that help make the customer's vision become reality. He is a collaborator-not ...more a know-it-all-and I appreciate all of his effort to make our curios. I would highly recommend

-and hire him again. "

"The design phase went pretty well (until it came to problems with the design during installation). Had to pay for the cabinets 100% before they would install them, which should have been our first clue. They assured us they would follow through and that they were warrantied. When the cabinets were delivered, one cabinet was damaged and another ...more had to be reordered. The upgraded drawer glides we paid for (in advance) were not included and also had to be reordered so it took several weeks to get the replacement parts. The finish on the several of the cabinets was also unsatisfactory. The replacement cabinets were ordered and installed. Installation was average. After numerous visits by the local company (including

branch manager) they finally had to call a guy in from the home office to figure out why the drawer glides wouldn't work. And this is from a company whose business is cabinets. To make a long story short, over the summer of 2008 we had to take off work on numerous occasions to meet them and place repeated orders for parts. The last order was never delivered. Calls to

about the remaining problems were not returned. I called the president of

twice who handed me off to their regional manager. Two messages for the regional manager were never returned. We finally gave up. I just saw them listed on Angie's List which is why I am posting so much after the fact. The bottom line: We paid thousands of dollars for cabinets that have doors that fall off and drawers that still don't have the proper hardware over a year later. Due to the design, four of our cabinets doors won't open all the way. If you buy from them we would not pay 100% until everything is installed as promised."

"Most of the work was done by & his wife . He is very meticulous and wants the job done perfectly even though it takes him over his budgeted time. did have some of the carpentry work done by other family members. Their work hours are between 9am-3pm so they could be with their kids; ...more although there were a couple days when they did stay late. Before they left each day, they vacuumed & cleaned up-I never saw a mess. The project was expected to last a month but the actual job was about 5 weeks. They started after Thanksgiving and completed in the beginning of January. He had put door handles on the cover plates under the sink which I questioned. He said no problem and that he would remove them. After he did so, I had to agree with him that it looked better with them on. He put them back on. He was pleasant during this discourse and wanted to make sure I was happy with the job he was doing. The carpentry craftsmanship is excellent and much better than what I had before."
