We renovated our kitchen this year, and I shopped around various elements to get the best value for my dollar. <br /> I had two other area companies come out and give me estimates for cabinets, but their prices were high and I wasn't particularly impressed with their proposals. One company said I'd be without a fully-functional kitchen for up to 4 weeks...what? Why??). I also compared prices at the big-box stores and even online cabinet retailers. <br /> I found a solid surface countertop fabricator in the metro (Premier Surfaces) and was impressed with them, so I asked if they knew of any good sources for cabinets. They referred me to Limpus, and after seeing many positive reviews on Angie's List, we decided to make the drive to the other side of town to their showroom. <br /> We were impressed with the type of cabinets they offered, the price, and the no-pressure/no-nonsense sales team. We had a representative from Limpus come out to take exact measurements, and we went back to the showroom to place our order. I had draft and final renderings sent to me via email as well. <br /> The crew of 5 guys showed up at my house a little before 9 a.m., removed my old counters and cabinets, disconnected the microwave/dishwasher, installed my new cabinets and reconnected the microwave and dishwasher (minus the plumbing). They also connected the under-mount light fixtures to the existing wiring. They were done with everything by 3 p.m. the same day. <br /> If I bought laminate counter tops, they could have installed them today as well. Since we're getting solid surface, there is a week delay for the template and fabrication. Once the counters are in, Limpus will send a plumber to connect the faucet, disposal and dishwasher later that day. <br /> Josh, the guy who processed my order in the showroom and designed our cabinet selections to fit the space, was a member of the installation crew. Actually, I saw and spoke with several members of the crew in the showroom as well. <br /> Rather than subcontract out the labor, they do it themselves. They truly understand their product and stand behind it. How many companies do it this way? I love it. <br /> My cost of materials was $5,689, which included two cabinets with glass fronts (and an interior stain to match the exterior for that cabinet). These are maple cabinets with crown molding on top and an extra trim piece on the bottom to help hide our under-mount light fixtures. Some cabinets are 36" tall and I have a few 42" tall cabinets as well. <br /> The price also included cabinet hardware. My labor charges were $1584, and this includes plumbing work. <br /> I was impressed with Limpus from the initial contact to the installation. They're professional and just plain nice people. No pressure, no games. Just an honest, hard-working family company. <br /> The price of materials was very reasonable. It would have been more expensive at other area companies and big-box stores. The labor charges were quite fair. <br /> Beyond price and quality, I totally appreciate how the demo and installation took place in one day. <br /> I'd absolutely recommend Limpus for any project. I'm trying to think of any constructive criticism I could offer -- and I've got nothing here. Well done! <br /> <br /> <br />
