Get matched with top cabinets reface pros in Norfolk, VA

"They were rediculously priced. Wanted $14000 to reface my cabinets wear local cabinet stores only wanted $3500 for brand new cabinets."

"Working with Mark was exactly like one hopes it to be when hiring a contractor. After his first visit to determine the scope, he quickly completed the estimate and said he would be available in less than 3 weeks. We compared the price to another larger company who was about 35-40% higher, we decided to go with Mark. He started on the promised date, and completed the work on the original schedule. He always came when he said, and was good at communicating with us. His assistant Chris did a fair amount of the job on his own, and took great pains to do a super-precise job, even though there were some difficulties due to our 60-year old house having walls not plumb. The results are fantastic, we are very happy. We did use an outside contractor to install the glass shower enclosure, and he commented on how accurately the shower had been completed. Wolak is a top-quality contractor who is reliable and fairly priced. The price shown below is mainly for labor and some materials, we did purchase the tile fixtures and some materials on our own. Overall, we give Wolak Interiors a 4-star rating."

"Good. They even cleaned the wood trim of paint that ton it previously.

"They sent out about 3 service men and they worked fast to get the job done. Their work was great. They tore down the old stuff and put up the new and what an awesome job they did. They were very honest and respectful. They cleaned up very well after themselves. I really thought they did great all around."

"Went great easy process, I love how the cabinets look in my kitchen now brought life back into the room. Will be coming back to get some spare rooms done next"

"We love our cabinets! They look fantastic while remaining affordable. The friendly staff at AWD helped us from start to finish. They are very knowledgeable and gave us advice and tips when needed. They were receptive and patient with our ever-changing needs. Once we finalized our purchase, we received our cabinets within two weeks! The cabinets are very sturdy and the color is beautiful. The hinges and hardware are high quality. We are extremely pleased with AWD and would recommend them to any friends or family looking for good cabinets at a fair price."

"Doug and his crew did a great job on my windows. They have been very flexible working around weather and materials issues that wee out of their control."

"I feel that they did an excellent job overall.  They were a bit slow in executing the contract, but i understnd that they have been swamped with business from their advertisements on Angie's List.  But they were very cautious not to do harm and did a very thorough job stabilizing the old vinyl floor and building on top of it.  In my opiniion, their work showed real craftmanship.  They took their time and did it properly, even negotiating very difficult sunken doors.  One problem that was unexpected was that because they built the floor up, the regrigerator no longer fit under the ceiling cabinet.  Nevertheless, they had a carpenter make professional adjustments to the cabinet.  I am a very satisfied customer.

"Tommy and his assistant, Louie, completely repainted our newly purchased condo. Everything was painted, top to bottom. HE IS FANTASTIC IN EVERY WAY - AAAA++++

My experience in evaluating contractors: My experience in remodels working with painters is very extensive: I?ve completely remodeled and had painted six major homes over the years. Thus, I have dealt with numerous paint contractors. Tommy is one of the best I?ve ever worked with.

Scope of Project: Notably, I hired every contractor remotely from San Francisco prior to moving out to Norfolk. Using Angie?s List and Better Business Bureau, I searched and evaluated numerous painters. I initially thought (from long distance) that only the walls needed re-painting. Upon inspection, Tommy noted everything needed to be repainted, to insure a consistent look and classy look. He emailed pictures evidencing the work that needed to be done. I agreed completely (other paint contractors suggested much of the same but no pictures sent). So, ceilings, all walls, closets, doors, windows, trim, top to bottom. Am I glad I followed his advice.

Bid Preparation: Getting estimates from afar, I had prepared an extremely detailed, line by line item list of every step that needed to be done. My real estate agent had keys to our condo and coordinated pick-up and return for inspection and estimates by contractors. All significant paint selections (quality) had been specified in the proposal at Virginia Paint (Benjamin Moore) I sent out. Each paint contractor got an identical email from me with no changes, thus ensuring comparability. I was searching for the best workers, at reasonable costs, and a good personality fit - most important. Numerous emails and phone call exchanges with these folks over two weeks it took to find the right painter. I chose Tommy as we determined approximate time frame he and his crew could begin. I had contract sent / signed, and initial deposits made for the work.

Professionalism: From long distance emails and over the phone, Tommy and I hit it off right off the bat. He is very, very professional, super experienced in all facets of painting, especially on color selection and co-ordination, helpful with suggestions and ideas. He is very reasonably priced (on the lower end but important, not the low end - you get what you pay for). Most important, he is a gentleman, courteous, very likeable, cheerful, extremely honest, a family man, very responsive(always a phone call response back to me generally within an hour and always within the day). I knew within the first day or two I had the right man for the job and needn?t worry about a thing. Not only was he an expert, he has an excellent way of dealing with other sub-contractors working their jobs (during the time frame he was there), who genuinely liked working with him, coordinating with them, their schedules, to keep things flowing smoothly.

Color Expert: Tommy is an expert.  Once getting to Ghent, meeting him in person for the first time at the condo, we hit it off immediately as we traveled together to the paint store. I had ideas about color, but it took me over a week to make my selections. There are literally thousands of colors, with options for various rooms, ceilings, trim, high lights, accent walls etc. He has a real eye for color selection and co-ordination, and was extremely helpful to me in the process. An expert like him for advice and direction was critical to success.

Work ethic. He is extremely detail conscious, everything needed to be perfect by him, always opted for the best look, never cut corners, even if cut into his profits - he is a perfectionist. Always cleaning up everything at the end of the day, removing tools. Remodels, especially old homes, always run into problems not anticipated and not part of the original contract. Important: home owners always come up with new ideas, the job expands, change orders, etc. Therefore, I knew from my extensive remodeling experience I could run over budget. I can assure you that Tommy was always more than fair with me, not a bean counter, he included gratuitously many little things we would try out not in the budget or he did so at minor cost addition. It became a bit of a partnership.

Job Done: The condo is absolutely beautiful, on time done to perfection at a reasonable cost, with a wonderful working relationship, hassle free co-operative manner thanks to Tommy and his assistant Lewis.

Summary: Having done five extensive home re-models, working with all the trades and at least 100 contractors, I CAN TRUTHFULLY SAY HE IS THE BEST. His work is top notch. HIS PRICES ARE VERY REASONABLE. His work ethic superb and honesty is impeccable. Most important, he loves his work.
