We had a mudroom done by them, and honestly would never use them again. A lot was wrong with communication and the cabinetry blamed the contractor and the contractor blamed the cabinetry (though the contractor was hired by them). And the vanity they used for us they just bought on wayfair. The worst part is they never mentioned that and showed us swatches of colors as if it were going to be bought from their cabinet supplier.

No one knows prices on the quartz tops or even what level price tier they are. Either way we were lied to and didn't get what was promised. The owner called to "discuss" the issues, but did nothing to remedy them. Would not recommend them or use them ever again.

I have had the pleasure of working with Tara and Jean to design the cabinetry plans for our home. We did the entire house top to bottom with 5 baths, kitchen, pantry, bar and laundry room. Aside from their team being able to achieve our design aesthetic, they managed so many various hurdles. From covid delays, to the miscellaneous building issues, the team was able to mitigate all of the issues and deliver an outstanding product. I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking to engage with a cabinetry company.

Are you looking for a cabinet designer that really listens to your concerns and budget limitations? You have come to the right place. I worked with Tara and Jean and they did a great job. I can't thank them enough for their guidance and expertise. My kitchen came out beautiful. When I had any issues, they dealt with it right away. I am very impressed with the entire team, front desk to cabinet installer (Steve). Love my kitchen. Thank you! Rita and Ron

We have worked with Marlene and her team for many years now and cannot say enough positive things about her and her business. Not only have they always been a pleasure to deal with but they make this part of the building process seamless!
