"<strong>Short Review:</strong> Do not ignore your local kitchen design firm when you seek out ideas and estimates. I expected them to be overpriced or at least well outside my budget range. I was wrong. Both local kitchen design firms worked within my budget and Mother Hubbard's Custom Cabinetry not only worked within our budget but came up with the most creative solution to our kitchen remodel. AND they threw in extras like lighting and outlets that the big box stores and contractors would not have included. In the end, John Petrie at Mother Hubbard’s came up with the best solution and kitchen design for us within the budget we had. They did an outstanding quality job at a fair price. I highly recommend them. <br /> <strong>The whole story: </strong> <br /> We live in a 39 year old suburban home in Hampden Township that had an old dated worn out kitchen that had never been remodeled. We set out to remodel our kitchen, eating area, powder room and flooring on a budget of about $20,000. The final cost will end up being closer to $25,000 when it is completed, including the flooring and painting done by different contractors. I wrote down detailed dimensions and drawings of the area to be remodeled. My wife and I discussed our “need” and “want” list and we went looking for estimates. After consulting with friends and doing some internet searching, we discussed our project and got estimates from six contractors: 2 big box stores (big blue and big orange); 2 local kitchen design firms; 1 local remodeling contractor; and a local contractor who had previously installed our roof, siding and windows. All the local contractors had good references and had been in business a very long time. <br /> We were disappointed in the one local remodeling firm who showed little interest in our project. She felt they could not do the job within our budget range ($15-20,000). This firm eventually gave us a high ball estimate by phone never even looking at our house or showing us the cabinets they proposed, let alone a design. Waste of my time. Four of the remaining five firms basically wanted to simply replace the cabinets we had with their cabinets with little difference in the layout of the kitchen. All five remaining firms were within $1-2,000 of each other. There was very little difference in cost which was a shock to me. <br /> But one firm, Mother Hubbard’s Custom Cabinetry redesigned the layout of the entire kitchen to make it open and modern including the addition of a small kitchen island. Mother Hubbard’s also threw in new lighting and electrical upgrades that were not included in anyone else’s plans. The icing on the cake was the owner, John Petrie, who not only carefully redesigned the kitchen layout but brought over 20 years of experience designing kitchens and baths. He also is actively involved in the local and national chapters of the National Kitchen and Bath Association, including serving as president of this national organization for the past year. His father also served as the NKBA’s president in 2003. So this long family commitment to this area and nationally to kitchen and bath design made us quite comfortable about getting quality work for our project. <br /> Our only hesitation was we really liked the cabinet color from our local contractor who had done the roof and siding on our house. He had worked with a local lumber yard and their design team. But his price was slightly higher and we really loved the design John had prepared and his firm’s long experience in kitchen design and installation made us more comfortable about the project being a success. So Mother Hubbard's it was. <br /> We met with John a few times to finalize the plans and the contract. John was very easy to work with. He is friendly and polite. Answers questions honestly. He does not beat around the bush. We had no problems scheduling meetings or getting in touch with him. If he was not available immediately, he got back to me quickly. We scheduled the project time to begin after mid-June so my wife could monitor the project while she was home from work. <br /> Demolition went quickly and was completed in about two days. The workers were very clean and organized. No complaints about the demo. The separate flooring contractor came in and installed a tile floor in two days. The first installer for Mother Hubbard’s was very good. He has worked for Mother Hubbard’s for a long time and did very high quality work. He and a young assistant worked consistently although not at a breakneck speed like the flooring installers did (the flooring guys were quite impressive at their speed as a team of five). However, they made steady continuous progress. The installer started each day telling my wife or I what was completed the previous day and what the plan was for completion the next day. We really appreciated knowing this update on a daily basis. John Petrie estimated the project would take 4-5 weeks. <br /> We ordered over the internet a new sink, faucet, garbage disposal, door knobs and drawer handles. I was able to get them less expensively than John could from his local suppliers and we had a larger selection to choose from. And John had no problem with my sourcing my own items as long as they were ordered early so they did not hold up the project. I did give him the opportunity to match the cost if he could. So we saved some money on those items. <br /> The installer and his assistant made very good progress the first three weeks. Much of the initial time was spent reworking the electric wires, installing new cabinet outlets and pot lights. Then the cherry cabinets were installed. They went in quite quickly. I pointed out one cabinet door where the grain was badly matched by the manufacturer. John had absolutely no reservation about ordering a replacement door. The Bishop cabinets are of high quality and we are very pleased with the quality of the cabinets and the installation. <br /> About when the cabinets began to be installed, the first installer was replaced with another installer from Mother Hubbard’s who had recently gotten out of the hospital. Because of his age, he also did not work on Friday’s. So the project moved more slowly. The second installer had worked for Mother Hubbard’s even longer than the first installer. But he did work at a slower pace. We just liked and clicked with the first installer more. My wife and I did express our concern with John Petrie, the owner, about the change. But it is his company and I can’t tell him how to manage his projects. The second installer was not doing anything wrong or poorly. Just a little slower and our personalities just did not click as well as with the first installer. I suppose if this was the highest point of friction between me and a contractor, that is not much to complain about. The first installer did return to finish the electrical and plumbing that he had started once the cabinets and counter tops were in place. <br /> A third installer for the company came in on the third week to measure for the laminate counter tops. We originally wanted granite but for cost reasons settled for a very nice dark laminate from WilsonArt that virtually duplicated the look of a dark granite. John suggested clipping the edges to give them a more rounded look. We love the laminate. The color and look works wonderfully with the cherry cabinets. And the counter tops fits like a glove around all walls and cabinet surfaces. Very high quality work creating and fitting the counter tops. <br /> Almost all of the project was completed by about the 7th week. A couple items were forgotten. A sliding trash can for one lower cabinet and the cherry cap for a knee wall near our family room. The first trash can mechanism was defective and a second had to be ordered. The kitchen was completed by the 11th week but was fully functional and being used by the seventh week. In fact, we were probably using the kitchen around the 5th week where minor trim and other adjustments were being completed. <br /> Overall, we ran into very few problems or issues for such a large project. I am very particular and"

"Ted came out to my home and listened to the ideas I had for the master bath Remodel. He made some great suggestions to improve the design. The cabinets were timely delivered. The quality of the cabinets was excellent. When he saw an imperfection he took it upon himself to correct it before I had a chance to ask. His installers were professional and curtious. <br />"

"I interview three companies to renovate our kitchen. New cabinets. counter tops, and appliances. We settled on O'Hanlon Kitchens because of the excellent plans and a willingness to work with us. Their price was fair, not the lowest or the highest The project was completed on time and within budget. The quality of the work was excellent and we were kept advised through out the project.. All materials were first class and exceeded expectations.  I would rate O'Hanlon Kitchens as an excellent company"

"Meh. Cantly of KDS did a stellar job. Sub-contractors were clean, polite and competent. <br />"

"First batch of work promised in 6 weeks, took about 5 months. Second batch much more timely. <br /> The door looks very nice.    I actually preferred the "look" of the original windows....we went from nice oak to white vinyl.   They are more efficient in the winter as they are triple pane, but they also don't let any sun warmth in to help heat.   Can't have everything, I suppose. <br /> Although we asked several times,  we couldn't find out how the price broke down, they were so busy talking about discounts.     I would advise you to get some competing quotes.   I feel we could have done better if we had. <br /> The workers who did the installation were very professional and worked quickly. <br /> <br />"
