"Hello, My name is Phil Carr-Jones, I am reviewing my experience of working with and building my own kitchen, using cabinets and doors from Arkansas Wood Door. While I am an Episcopal Priest, it turns out I get to do a lot of things they don't teach you in seminary. Over the years, I have had to get fairly skilled in all the trades, including, no surprise, carpentry. But I am by no means an expert. For instance, I employed a retired carpenter to help out with the crown molding and other trim. Apart from that though, this is all my and my wife's work. So let me state up front, Arkansas Wood Doors is the go to place for the DIY’er who is thinking of remodeling their own kitchen. Here's why: I searched the web for months, literally doing comparisons and research on flat pack rta cabinets. I went to the big box store for a design and pricing in their three lines of cabinets, and I went in for a consult with a small custom shop in my area. Here's what I found. 99 outof 100 rta cabinet companies have their product made in china which means the standards for formaldehyde are going to be as fishy as they smell, plus you can only get cabinets in fixed sizes so if you looking to eeck out every last inch of space you're going to lose a lot and you'll be using a lot of filler strips wasting what could have been useful storage. If you want to go custom, then you only have less than a handful of online options, companies that will make to order in any dimension. For instance, I only wanted an 8 inches deep spice cabinet to allow for greater working room over the counter. My wife and I are pretty serious about cooking from pastries to mains and sides. We want a very serious kitchen. Plus, I'll tall so I needed the room. In any case, if you want something custom your choices online are limited. The big box stores don't really do custom and are just as limited in their options as are the online rta places. Most online rtas offer far cheaply made boxes with construction methods less sturdy. I have found that if I buy cheap, I shouldnt expect my kitchen to hold up past a few years. The finish will fade. The drawers will warp. The joints will open up. The big box stores basically offer the same thing, too. When I go to a big box store to buy something, I do it knowing I probably willl get a year out of it, whether that’s a lawn chair of a power tool. I mean when was the last time you regretting spending too much money on a better grade of power tool? So if you want quality, a better and safer grade building material and much wider choices in sizing then your basically down to three or four options. I went with Arkansas Wood Door and am completely pleased and impressed by the experience. Now I could have spent twice what I did and gone to a small custom shop and gotten the same thing, but I am in to saving money and frankly I enjoy the challenge. AWD worked with me directly. Working up the order and getting the plan for each box just right. If you have never designed and built a kitchen before, there are plenty of tips and guidance on the web and I recommend you heartily research all of the aspects and complications involved. I hit a couple of unexpected bumps. But more about that below. So do your research. For instance you can save a lot of money by building the plinths yourself and only order squared off boxes without the toe kick. By making the platform on which you place the lower cabinets first, you can get that plumb and level, so throwing up the boxes is a breeze. And again, the cabinets are also less expense, a complete all around win. AWD uses an easy system for matching up box parts so assembly was easy. No special tools required. Given the many parts and I used a mix of frameless and face framed cabinets, there was a moment or two when in amongst all the materials I got nervous about having everything I needed, but low and behold, all was right there in the end. I also recommend the concept from French cooking "mis en place" that is have all your ingredients in place and all your tools where you need them before starting out. Also, it was a lot easier to work with my wife than doing it alone, but I did a few by myself and so if that is your only option than you should have no problem. I've assembled a lot of cheaper Swedish flat packed furniture in my day, and the quality and sturdiness of AWD leaves no doubt about how long these will last. Just rock solid. Great thing about AWD is the cost to quality ratio. Cant beat it. Which also means if you make a mistake the replacement is so reasonable it becomes not big deal. I mis-measured one box and so I needed to order the right size. Worked out fine, but that was because AWD had an incredibly fast turn around. The other few reliable companies are several weeks to months. And these other places are crazy expensive. And in truth, the other companies are a complete rip off on trim and accessories. AWD pricing was so amenable that my mistakes cost me so little in comparison with what I was saving. So there's a built in confidence for the first timer. Also AWD made one mistake on the placement of a hinge in two doors. They immediately and without question remade them and sent them out in under ten days. You just can't get that service anywhere in the custom cabinet world. It was so affordable I upgraded on one side to black walnut. Trying doing that at the other quality shops. The quality of the roll out drawers and top drawer boxes is superb and the hinges and under-mount sliders are top grade excellent. The hardware was the easiest part frankly. Their system, for lining up the hardware is just so easy. Drill driver is all you need as the placement is already leveled for you. SO: high end quality custom built cabinets, superior custom support, fastest turnaround in the marketplace, most affordable pricing out there, excellent hardware, and oh yeah, I almost forget, color choices. They offer complete line of lacquer - just pick a SW color and they'll match it. SO completely and truly custom for a fraction of cost without sacrificing any quality. The Rev. Philip Carr-Jones"

"Handyman Matters did an excellent job. My project was small enough that they provided an estimate with photos I sent which was very convenient. We had remodeled an older home and updated the doors. This left spaces that we were not able to seal up. They came out and made them functional by eliminating any drafting or water leaking issues we had as well as trimmed the outsides so they looked like the rest of the house.

"Great! Rick did an excellent job."

"The start date of the warranty is undetermined because the kitchen is still not finished. Mr. Colston has not responded to my repeated attempts to contact him. Items taken from my home and not returned to me: 4 plastic milk crates (taken without permission) 2 heavy duty 50’ extension cords (taken without permission) 1 green shop broom (taken without permission) 1 air tool (missing) 1 yellow flashlight radio (missing) Outstanding items not completed by contractor: 1 shelf for cabinet was built but not delivered Granite at sink is still cracked and not polished (not smooth and dull in appearance) Items requiring repair: *Under cabinet lighting wiring has become unglued *Wood screw on hinge of upper right pantry door has pulled out of the wood (previously loose) *Sealant between Granite and Sink has failed *The window above the sink will be replaced because the upper cabinet, East of the sink, was installed by the contractor on top of the existing metal window frame. * The contractor declared that sealing the grout for the backsplash was the responsibility of the home owner. Items repaired by home owner or home owner’s professional contractor at the expense of the home owner: *Sheetrock on the wall section above the kitchen sink repaired by professional contractor (bubbled up and not smooth). *Pipes under the sink continued to drip and were properly tightened by home owner. *The two lower Lazy Susans were scraping the water line. Professional contractor secured the water lines to prevent further damage to them. *A round piece of metal (non-magnetic) was in the drain at the garbage disposal, causing it to be very loud and causing the garbage disposal to jam and lock up. Repaired by home owner. Items already repaired by the contractor: *The contractor’s subcontractor improperly installed the range hood so that the fan blades were catching on the sides. *The contractor reapplied sealant on the top edge of the sink, on the underside of the granite. This has already become unsealed. *The subcontractor (licensed plumber) installed the new gas line for the new gas range. The contractor installed the gas range and pushed it hard into the new gas line immediately causing a gas leak. Upon arriving at the end of the day the home owner could smell the gas leak and called the contractor but it was unknown that the gas leak was at the broken gas line behind the gas range. Later the home owner pulled the new gas range away from the wall and was able to see the new gas line stub was pushed to the side and compromised by the contractor who installed the new gas range. It is possible that the licensed plumber had to be called out to repair the damaged caused by the contractor during installation of the new gas range. Future repairs will be required: *HVAC vents and returns were discovered during tear out of existing kitchen cabinets and soffits. Home owner requested that these working vents and returns become part of the new kitchen. The contractor agreed they should be made available to use, however the contractor or his helpers just covered them up. Therefore they are now covered up with sheetrock and cabinets, and blowing/venting into the wall cavity, per the contractor’s “simple solution”. *The kitchen ceiling was mudded and refinished multiple times and remains unacceptable (bubbled up and not smooth). Home owner had no kitchen for 52 days and had to leave the house unlocked with unrestricted access to all contractors and subcontractors during that time. Notice was not given when contractors knew they were not coming to the house. This would have allowed the home owner to lock the house on those dates. The contractor’s common practice was to work a few days, receive a partial payment and then not return for a week or more. Subcontractors were fired by the contractor or quit at the rate of about 1 or 2 per week. Dishwasher was installed incorrectly and twice flooded the kitchen floor (engineered Oak). Granite was not professionally polished and the area around the sink is cracked and still not polished. Other areas of the granite that were professionally polished are also cracked. The rough/unpolished edge of the granite that fits against the side of the gas range has damaged the paint on the sides of the gas range. The cabinets are Maple and are very nice."

"Brad and his team removed the walls from our sunroom, and installed columns and railings. They were very professional and friendly. We are very happy with the new look of the room. We plan to hire them again to remove and replace our pool deck."

"I had them install a pocket door for my small bathroom and put in two double doors on my closet. Communication, quality and price were amazing! I hope to do more business with them in the future."

"My company hired Chris to take care of the long list of projects that we had stacked up. He has installed a sign on our building, installed weather stripping, repaired and painted our dry wall, assembled bicycles, etc. He has been a huge help at our center and I would recommend him for all of your handyman needs."
