"Started with an on-time estimate in mid-July.  Sales rep. Raymond Lyon is very professional and knowledgeable about the many details of kitchen cabinet refacing.  He listened to our needs and proposed solutions that we had not thought of, that worked better. <br /> Cost estimate was provide within a few days.  After obtaining two other quotations, we selected Nu-Life due to their full understanding of the project and its many unique details.  Their price was the highest and their materials were of the best quality (thicker, finish, fit). <br /> Their competitors were unsure of several unique details, however Nu-Life had a solution for every detail.  Their experience with projects of this type were the advantage vs. their competitors, and the reason why we hired Nu-Life. <br /> Installation began on the promised date and was finished on time.  A door that they manufactured needed a better mounting detail and they manufactured a new door and return in two weeks to install the cabinet door with a perfect fit.  No extra charges. <br /> The new cabinet doors are of superior quality for fit, finish and workmanship, true cabinet doors.  The refacing materials are 0.25 inches thick and are twice the thickness of their competitors.  Their two installers were knowledgeable, very professional and polite.  They worked quickly and accurately while keeping the dust to a minimum. <br /> Without any reservations I would highly recommend Nu-Life Cabinets to any homeowner that is seriously considering cabinet refacing vs. a new kitchen.  We priced a new kitchen and it was over double the cost of refacing with Nu-Life.  They worked to make every detail perfect to our complete satisfaction.  I would hire them again. <br />"

"Ray's staff was very nice to work with. Overall I'm very pleased with the project. They were short a handle for one of the cabinets and it took a long time to get one. <br />"

"esInitially it started out well but as is typical in this industry, things start to fall off.  He is able to do most phases of construction but prefers trimwork.  The scope of work that we had didn't fit where he wanted to be.  If it was a single job that he was being hired for, I think he would be good.  He did good work but we do a lot of custom stuff and that throws our subs off sometimes.  Super nice guy and I felt that he was trustworthy. <br />"

"The schedule that they provided us was met. From the time we ordered cabinets to the final installation of the countertops, they were there when they said they would be. When we had questions they were always responsive and honest."

"I have used Matt a number of times, and I am always very pleased with what he has done for me. I wouldn’t think of going to anyone else."

"We have Swan Creek Cabinet Co making some extra cabinets for our kitchen. Very professional and was on time when they came out to measure the area. We went to the shop and the quality of work gave us a good feeling about them. Definitely would use them again for more cabinet work."

"Des Moines, you will be shocked but there is an honest contractor working in the area. <br /> Rick spent two hours in my home just to give me an estimate.    He not only diagnosed the <br /> problem with the subfloor and underlayment, he also showed me other problems in <br /> my home.    It was amazing how much he could tell about my house by just walking through it.  If I ever sell this house and buy another, I will hire Rick to inspect the new home long before signing any purchase <br /> documents.    Rick is much more knowledgeable than any home inspector I have ever hired in my life, and I have <br /> hired several.   He is honest and not in the pocket of any homebuilder in the area. <br /> Rick gave me an estimate well under other estimates I had received and stood behind his estimate regardless of what he found when <br /> demolition began.   Unfortunately, the developer of this house, Jerry?s Homes of Des Moines, had done such an <br /> unprofessional job the demotion turned out to be a project that had to include use of a jack hammer to get the out underlayment out.    He corrected the structural problems, which included leveling out some flooring and fixing a place where the developer had <br /> not attached the subfloor to the joists.   I estimate that he saved me at least $6,000 over the next closest <br /> bidder. <br /> Although I had assumed that the new tiles would be placed in the standard straight-line way, he took the time to go to the tile store and show me other possibilities for my floor.   He turned a drab floor into something I will be proud of for years.    Although there were additional costs for the special layout, he was reasonable and I am so glad he had the design capabilities to make my floor look outstanding.     <br /> He took the time to do everything right; making sure the underlayment actually strengthened the subfloor that will prevent future <br /> fractures and repaired the other developer defects.     It was so fantastic to find an honest, Christian contractor who I could trust without question.    He never cut corners in making sure this job was done right.    He cares about the customer?s happiness with the finished product and has amazing design ideas.    He is a contractor who wanted me to be to be happier with the finished product than I would have dreamed.    <br /> Although I wish the project could have been done faster, I knew that I was working with a craftsman not just a contractor.   It is shameful, but finding a true craftsman is a Godsend.   He knew I was a disabled veteran with limited resources, and he made sure to stay within the budget I had for this project.  He was not just here for just the paycheck; he was here to give me the most value for my <br /> money.    That is so extremely rare these days.   <br /> He not only did the flooring work I asked for, he fixed a doorknob, installed a new ceiling chandelier, and fixed some very poor <br /> woodworking done by the developer.   He wanted my home to be right.    His ideas are fantastic and as I can accumulate the funds, I will follow his lead because I cannot find a reason to disagree with his sense of style or functionality. <br /> I would recommend him to anyone in the Des Moines area and already have; he is the best I have ever worked with in my life.   I am including pictures of his work, I am proud to show these to the world.    He has made my house both increased in value and shortened resale time, which was not may goal, but made it a house that I can live in and take such great pride <br /> I live in such a home.   My neighbors are drooling over the project and I am sure I am making a few husbands angry in my <br /> neighborhood.    I know giving him this review on Angie?s list is great; I will be giving his name to anyone who has <br /> any home improvement needs.    I can recommend him without reservation.   I have projects that will take some time to save money for, but I already know whom my contractor will be.    He will be the one to update my baths and change my shower from plastic to beautiful tile.     He will be putting in an on demand water heater and utility sink in my shop.    I have jobs for him for years to come; as <br /> the funds are available he will be my craftsman.    <br /> Do not hesitate to call Rick if you have a problem or just want an upgrade.    He is the man for the job and will deliver more than you could imagine. <br />"

"The overall service is very good. He responded to us very quickly. He stopped in and evaluated what needed to be done. They days we scheduled for him to come he came on time and got things done within that time. He made it easy for us.He did it all efficiently and in a decent cost. The charges were very reasonable. He didn't try to add extra stuff. He was a very pleasant man."
