"The cleaning was supposed to be done after we moved out, so we don't know if it was done well or at all. We were coerced into using this company by the apartment complex where we stayed during the summer of 2016. The carpets and the apartment were immaculate when we moved out, but we had to pay this company anyway. There were a lot less expensive options available, but we had to use this company. Almost certainly a kick-back situation with the complex. We left a check for exactly what we were told by the apartment complex. A few days later we got a terse phone call from the company telling us we didn't pay sales tax!!! We told them we paid what we were told, and that nobody mentioned sales tax. They reluctantly ate this $6 sales tax charge."

"I took advantage of the Angie's List Deal of 2 hours of handyman work for $80. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I called and he stopped out that same day to discuss the project. Came back the next morning, 8 AM sharp and got the done- BAM <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Hauled away all the old unwanted material. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />He was professional, congenial, very generous in sharing his knowledge. I had also wanted to refinish the windowsills in my  house by myself so he picked up the appropriate sander for me. He taught me how to use it, gave me advice on where to get the best products I would need, offered to let me call for further advice if needed. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />"

"Don't remember exact completion date, but was completed in specified time frame. <br /> GT was great to work with. If we had a problem, he addressed it immediately. The workers were conscientious and nice guys. We have a corner lot and have many people stop to comment on the deck. <br /> We're very happy with the screened in porch and the work that Sueppels did. We would recommend them without reservation. <br />"

"We hired Jim Heskje Painting to paint the walls and trim in our basement remodel project. They did a great job. The team left the house every day with tools picked up and the place looking neat. They showed up when they said they would and we’re always on time. We were very pleased with Jim Heskje Painting and will definitely hire them again for our next project!"

"We signed a contract with Mr. Capouch in early February.  The terms were that we would pay 1/3 that day, the second third upon beginning of the project, and a final third upon completion.  He assured us that the whole job would take only about 3-5 days on the premises, as he would do all the prep work in his shop.  Work was to commence at the end of March. <br /> In early March, he called.  My family had arranged to go on vacation in mid-March, and he wanted to know if he could do all his on-site work while we were out of town.  Although we were hesitant, we agreed.  We gave him a key and the second payment on March 13th.   <br /> When we returned a week later, nothing had been done.  We had stripped all the necessary areas down to the studs, but nothing had been done at all.  We began to call.  Eventually, he contacted us.  Excuse number one - his Dad in Wisconsin was ill and needed help, he couldn't come to work.  He would get there next week.  We began to worry. <br /> The next week, he still didn't come.  Oh, except to take more measurements.  It was at this stage that he decided he would remake all the cabinets rather than reface them.  He claimed it would be more material but the same amount of work and he wouldn't charge us additional fees.  We agreed.  I asked him, can you be finished by Easter?  "Oh, yeah. No problem." <br /> In mid-April, he showed up again.  He tore out all the cabinets and stacked them in a pile in front of the garage.  Then, he left.  He would return tomorrow. <br /> He didn't.  We lived three days with no counters, no cabinets, and our kitchen in the living room.  He did eventually come in with the base cabinets and the uppers that fit above them.  He set them, and left again.  My husband and a friend set the counters that day, but we had found all the lawsuits against Capouch by then, and were really starting to worry. <br /> The rest of the time we had to deal with Brian were of a piece: he would promise he'd arrive with one piece or another on Monday, be definitely done by Wednesday.  On Monday he'd never show; on Wednesday, he might come in with one piece or another he had promised, but more often than not, he would give us an excuse.  He's sick, his car broke down, flat tire, he had sprayed the cabinets but the paint or stain had to dry, you get the idea.  We started communicating with him in texts in case we would have to file a lawsuit as well.  We found more and more cases against him, largely from sub-contractors who never got paid, but also from home owners who hired him and were stiffed.  Easter came and went and, though I had base counters and tops, no doors were up and the china hutch we had ordered was still missing.   <br /> In May, slowly, the big pieces started to show up.  The custom china hutch appeared, as did the doors.  The pantry cabinet we had added to the order came in with the wine rack.  But nothing was ever finished in one day - the hutch arrived, but without shelves or drawers.  The doors came in, but some were cut wrong and had to be re-made.  He also started to make noises about needing more money.  He begged my husband for an advance on the remaining total - he needed $2000.  Reluctantly, Dave gave him $1600.  Always, more promises, more excuses.  Sometimes we wouldn't hear from him for a week.  Always, he would swear - I HAVE to be done by Wednesday, as if we were stopping him from finishing the job.  A week before he finished the job, he contacted Dave again for an advance - he hadn't paid the electric bill for his shop and he had no power.  Another $1000 advance. <br /> In late May, my husband gave him an ultimatum - you're done on Sunday of this week.  Whatever you have finished is what gets finished.  If you're not done, we don't pay you the remainder of the money.  (By that time, we had also negotiated additional trim around two windows, the pantry cabinet was extra, and the wine rack as well.)  He came back - if you're not going to pay me more, I'm going to take back the wine rack.  He came back that Sunday, didn't finish everything (we still needed trim around the doors, windows, inset cabinet, drawers for the hutch, etc.)  But he was close.  He didn't finish that week, oh no, it was still another week and a half before the last piece came in, was applied, and all the junk wood from in front of our garage removed.  We settled up with him on the remainder and were so grateful to see the last of him. <br /> Overall, the workmanship on the cabinets is stunning.  He used birch wood, the finish is lovely, the craftsmanship excellent.  We are very happy with the finished product, but be very careful with this contractor.  If you do hire him, put completion dates into the contract.  Attach penalties for non-compliance.  But even then - look him up in court cases on line in Iowa.  I counted more than 50 suits against him, and at least 2 bankruptcies.  Even if you do put him under contract, he may not honor it and let you sue him.  I think we were lucky, though I don't know why.  He finished the job, with a lot of twisting and begging from us, and the work is wonderful.  We would have fired him several times along the way, but had sunk too much money into this contractor and hadn't the heart to start over with a new one.  We had interviewed several others, and none came back with plans or bids that were reasonable in price or scope.  I just wish we had known to run from this guy. <br />"

"I'd worked with them in the past, so when I knew I was placing the order for the window, I called them for an estimate on installation costs.  They worked with me on selecting an appropriate window, and emailed a detailed, printable PDF estimate with an itemized report of parts and labor, at which point I scheduled the beginning of the job. <br /> Danny is a true craftsman, bringing a level of professionalism to carpentry that's increasingly harder to find.  Whenever I need work done, he works with me through the options for work and materials to make the most appropriate choice for the job and its final look, and everything always ends up looking flawless.  Highly recommended."

FAQs for cabinets refinish projects in Urbana, IA

To find the best cabinet refinishing expert for your project, start by researching local pros and reading reviews from previous customers. Reach out to a few contractors to discuss your cabinets' size, condition, and the look you're aiming for. Don't hesitate to ask for references or examples of their past work. Speaking with previous clients can give you valuable insights into the pro's workmanship and reliability.

When speaking with potential cabinet refinishing pros, consider asking them several questions to gauge their experience and professionalism. These questions can help you gauge the pro's experience and determine if they align with your needs.

  • Do you offer a guarantee on your work?

  • Can you create custom finishes or colors?

  • Do you have examples or samples of your past projects?

  • Are you able to match the finish to other cabinets in my home?

  • How long will the project take from start to finish?

Regular care will help maintain the beauty of your cabinets for years to come. To keep your refinished cabinets looking their best, follow these steps:

  • Use gentle cleaners: Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the finish. A simple mixture of warm water and mild dish soap works well.

  • Clean carefully: Instead of spraying solutions directly onto the cabinets, apply them to a soft microfiber cloth and wipe gently.

  • Protect from heat and moisture: Try to minimize exposure to excessive heat or moisture, which can affect the finish over time.

It's usually less costly to refinish cabinets than to replace them, depending on the cabinet condition. Refinishing cabinets cost an average of $3,114 while replacing cabinets is about $5,000 or more. When deciding to refinish or replace cabinets, consider several factors, including how old your cabinets are, your budget, and whether you need to complete any other renovation projects at the same time.

It may be worth resurfacing (also known as refacing) your cabinets if they’re in good shape but you’re interested in a different look. This is often less expensive than replacing cabinets outright and can allow you to update the look of your cabinets to reflect your kitchen’s current style without having to get rid of them entirely. The cost to reface cabinets is around $4,300 to $10,000, and you can hire a local cabinet refacing pro to handle this work.

Refinishing cabinets takes about two to three days to complete. The process begins with removing cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware, followed by cleaning, stripping, and sanding the surfaces. Any chips, stains, or splits are repaired before applying paint or stain. After applying the finish, the cabinets are reassembled, and the workspace is cleaned up, leaving your cabinets refreshed and renewed.
