Get matched with top closet builders in Okauchee, WI

"Stopped by retail store to look around. Store had designer contact me. I met the designer, explained what I wanted. She made a rough sketch of the bedroom closet before she left. She sent me completed sketches for both rooms within a couple of days. Once I approved the sketches, Cal Closets contacted me to set up installation. Installation was done quickly and professionally. The installer cleaned up the area and finished in the time frame."

"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"

"Excellent! Rich was on time, professional, very knowledgeable, and saved us lots of money! I definitely recommend him."

"We contacted Panda Properties for an estimate on our Basement Remodeling project.  Brian came on a Tuesday evening to look at our space, discuss what we were looking for, and take some measurements.  Overall the discussion went well and we were excited to see what his estimate would be.  We did inform him that he was the third company we had in for an estimate and were looking to start our project soon.  He told us that he would be able to get us an estimate in a couple of days, end of the week at the latest. 
I emailed him the next morning (Wednesday) to thank him and provide him with some information required for the estimate.  He responded that same day thanking me for the information.  The following Monday came and we hadn't heard back from him even though he had said he'd have the estimate by the end of the week, so I e-mailed him that morning asking when he would have the estimate available for our review.  He responded the next day (Tuesday) that he was just putting the finishing touches on the estimate.  Following that e-mail, I did not hear from him again until Sunday, which was now 12 days after the original visit, with the estimate.  All his e-mail said was that he was sorry for the delay and that he had some computer problems.
The estimate itself was actually in line with the others we had received.  And my concern was not with how long the estimate took.  If he would have told me it will take up to two weeks for the estimate, I would have been fine with that.  My concern was that he stated that he could deliver something in a certain time frame, could not deliver in that time frame, and did not communicate well during the process.  It took me contacting him to find out where the estimate was when it was later than discussed.  I was worried that this was indicative of how things would be if we selected him to work on our project, and that was a key reason why we decided not to go with Panda Properties for our project, which is now nearing completion."

"We had a good experience with them. Considering the other quotes that we got, their price was reasonable. We talked to 6 different companies. Wellington was the company we liked the best because of the construction of their windows. George was the guy that came out. He was very nice and a great man. They came when it was cold out too."
