Get matched with top cabinets repairers in Welcome, MD

"They had a better price than other companies and better selection of cabinets. I was able to get wood cabinets for a better price than others.  The work took about 3 days to complete."

"Great! He arrived on time, with the right amount of crew, tools and positive attitude! He was very experienced with Ikea cabinets and knew when we had purchased the wrong items. He also knew when to send me back to Ikea for different parts. Ikea made alot of mistakes and he knew that was common. He wrote down the numbers of the items i needed which was extremely helpful. He and his crew were fantastic and i would hire him again in the future. His prices were very reasonable and i appreciated that. I had two glass doors that were on back order so he said i could hold back $200 from his pay until they czme in. I called him on Sunday and told him i just picked them up. He told me they would be there on Monday morning to finish the job. Of course he arrived on time and he finished the job quickly. Of the 4 companies i hired to do various things in my kitchen his was the only one i didnt have issues with. I asked him to install the lights inside and underneath the cabinets and install the microwave. The lights were difficult but he worked hard until they were done. They make the whole kitchen shine! He was extremely reasonable with the microwave installation price. I asked him for several cards and already passed them out to people that wanted a new kitchen i told them he is the best installer i ever hired. He made this overwhelming project so much easier."

"Fellow Angie-Listers,

I found Renaissance Restoration here on Angie's List. I was immediately intrigued based on the reviews I read here and the address of the business is within my neighborhood. I contacted them through Angie's List to see if they would be interested in submitting a bid to work on my kitchen and half-bath remodel that I had already started. Rene, the owner and name-sake (took me a while to get that) of the business, responded promptly and offered to come out for a free estimate. Now, at this point, my kitchen had been unusable for several weeks and I was not finding the time to progress it with any real speed. Rene came out the next day, Saturday, upon my request for a speedy turn-around so I could reclaim my kitchen. He showed up on time and took some measurements. He was friendly, courteous, and looked like he was taking careful notes as I rattled off my long ?to-do? list of what it would take to get the kitchen finished. I had received a few other bids for the work, but I was immediately sold on Rene. We agreed on a price right there and scheduled the work to begin within a couple of days.

Now, I can't speak for Rene and say that he does this for all his customers, but we worked things out so that I would pay his team on a per-hour contract to get the job done. Everyone is different, but I much preferred this arrangement. I wanted the workers to be able to do a nice job without cutting corners to meet an often arbitrary quoted price and if I didn't like their work I could simply thank them for their time and continue on with the work myself (or more likely, find another crew). Spoiler alert! Everything worked out well so I didn't have to go that road.

When construction started, the first morning, Rene and two of his carpenters showed up right on time. They introduced themselves politely and we immediately got to the business of going over what I wanted to accomplish in my kitchen. Again, they took careful notes and once they got started, I went about with other business. I quickly felt very comfortable letting them into my house unsupervised. I did check in at several points during the day and they made good progress; I had no doubts that they were working hard. After a few days, they had accomplished everything I had asked of them and then came back for a couple of hours to correct a couple of issues I had with their work. There was nothing major, just a few cosmetic issues, and if I recall correctly, they did not charge for their time to correct things.

At this point, I had them take a few days off and I worked myself to progress the kitchen. They had all the skills required to continue the kitchen and were certainly willing to do the work. I was just trying to save myself a little money and also I needed a few days break from the mayhem of construction. With that said, Rene and his team left the construction area a lot more tidy than I did. I had my tools all over the place and I have to say that I was really impressed that they never mistakenly took any of my tools home with them. I think that really illustrates their organization on the job site. At this point I'll just say that I provided all of the essential construction items for the job and had Rene pickup (with some surcharge) lots of those smaller items that always come up. Even though I bought all the fixtures, doors, toilet, flooring, etc. ahead-of-time, they were kind enough to pick up some of the last-minute bulky items I grabbed from The Home Depot without charge.

About a week later, I had the workers back on the job and because of their success, I had asked them to remodel a half-bath that is adjacent to the kitchen. So they were here in total, five days and were able to do my partial kitchen and my entire half-bath. The work that they did was: Install kitchen cabinets, fix dry-wall, primed the walls, Laminate flooring, back-splash tile, connected the kitchen sink, installed the garbage disposal, installed a toilet, replaced a door, built a shelf, installed a vent pipe for the oven range hood to the outside, replaced electrical outlets and switches, installed a new bathroom vanity top, did I miss anything Rene?

These guys were pretty multifaceted. If you're still reading this, then you should understand that I can be a very detailed oriented person. I would write more but Angie's List only allows so much. :) Rene worked well with my sometimes exacting personality. His team always took careful notes of what work was to be done. On one day in particular, they showed up in the afternoon, as scheduled, but instead of moving forward, they went home because they had lots of questions for me but I was unreachable at that time. I was disappointed that the work had to stop, but I appreciated that they would rather wait for me to get my input than to just forge ahead and then I'd just have to live with the consequences. So that leads me into my only problem that I occurred on the project.

During a discussion that Rene and I had about the project, Rene had told me that the kitchen sink was going to be a little bit tricky to install so because of that, he would have to bring in his plumber. I knew going into things that the sink I had ordered was going to be a tight fit, so I had already budgeted for a plumber. I gave Rene a verbal OK and we moved on. The next construction day, the plumber came and told me that the sink wasn't going to be too bad to install; it would just barely fit with the pipes the way they were. Great news; I went to work. That same night I received a follow-up email from Rene supplying me an itemized list of all the work the plumber had done and it equated to hundreds of dollars. I was a bit shocked because it included several line-items for work in the half-bath, none of which we had talked about doing. Installing a toilet and installing a new sink/faucet is not highly skilled work requiring a plumber, assuming there's no broken pipes, broken flanges, etc. Also, I never was consulted on any of the work and never quoted a price on it so I did feel a bit ticked-off at that point because the project was almost done and it had gone so smoothly up to that point.

The next day I summoned Rene to the house and we talked it over. We resolved the issue by his giving me a break on the price, but as soon as we closed on that deal, he went on to disclose that the gentleman he had do the plumbing work was not actually a licensed plumber. Rene insisted that a licensed plumber would have cost a lot more. However, I had already gotten some quotes from licensed plumbers for that work and his original prices were right in line with most of them. I'm really not sure what happened there, but I didn't like how it happened. I felt like all of this could have been avoided with a phone call because I would have probably been OK with just having his guy go ahead and do most of the plumbing work. Because he was doing pretty basic work, I wasn't too worried about pipes bursting or nasty back-flow, but I didn't like that I was being billed for work that I had no say in, from a guy that was referred to as ?the plumber? and would be expected to pay whatever this guy wanted to receive.

The agreement I had with Rene was to pay him per hour, for two workers. Truth be told that often it was the case that there were the two main workers, and one or two other workers also in the house at no additional charge. So again, I wouldn't have given him a hard time on this plumbing stuff because I appreciated the hard work and the additional help that showed up, I just didn't like how it unfolded. I don't think it was intentional, just bad communication.

In the end, I still got what I believe to be a really good deal on a handsome new kitchen and bathroom. The work they did, rough and finish, was professional. Again I'll say, the crew worked really hard and I was really impressed by that. If they didn't mind my detail-oriented nature too much, I look forward to having them work here again and I have already recommend his team"

"This was a purchase of tile for the main bathroom (second of three bathrooms that needed complete reno). I am very fussy - want tile made in the U.S., want a certain look, and don't want beige. That makes it hard to find tile in my price range. Jud had a line that no one else in the area carries - McIntyre. I went over to look and found something I really liked. Overall the price was OK but the decorative pieces were super-expensive. We decided to take the plunge.
FYI, they have a nice selection; none of it is inexpensive. 
We worked with Holly who was extremely nice and patient but I didn't have confidence that she really knew much about tile. As with the other high-end store we'd worked with for our downstairs bath, I ended up doing all the calculations myself. Very nerve-wracking when you are talking about custom tile and thousands of dollars. 
Like the other high-end place, they charge for delivery which I find to be super-chintzy. 
We did have one small problem (not Jud's fault) and Holly very promptly tried to resolve it for us but it turned out that the manufacturer doesn't make the kind of corner piece we needed. Also, our contractor was worried that the decorative pieces should not be used on the floor (big panic!) and Holly was able to get the answer from the manufacturer within a couple of hours. 
All's well that end's well - the tile is gorgeous and our contractor was able to come up with a very creative solution for the two corner pieces.

"I had need for a relatively quick turnaround for upgrading of a worn out kitchen.  Called Competitive Painters and Robert Coulter came to discuss options.  I should mention that I had two other companies come to provide estimates.  The owner of one of them, a highly rated Angies List company, spent most of her time telling me that I should talk to a real estate agent about how my kitchen should look.  She had no helpful ideas or suggestions.  In contrast, Mr. Coulter explained several options - including services that his company could not provide.  He pointed me to a reasonably-priced granite counter top provider and Competitive Painters prepared and painted all of the kitchen cabinets.  They worked within my limited time period and coordinated their work with the countertop company.  The work they did was neat and professional.  I was very pleased with the results.

"They were okay. It was a little expensive for what we got. It is very versatile. They are heavy duty wall panels that have horizontal slits in it and the system hangs from those slits. The biggest advantage is that we can move things around if our needs change. I've had to reinforce a couple of the cabinets and the shelving in the corners. It is plastic but it holds up pretty well because it is protected in the garage. I didn't think the amount of weight it says it will hold was necessarily correct in all cases. The hooks have been fine. My only issues have been with the cabinets. The price is pretty steep. They were late and it took them several days to get it installed."

Our new kitchen included new flooring, which extended into joining laundry room (we chose porcelain tile),  level 1 granite counter top, tile backsplash, paint, new cabinets, and electrical work (we replaced a big light with 4 recessed lights, and moved the location of our appliances.)

New half bathroom included new vanity, granite counter top, flooring (which extended into the entry way), paint, and they installed a new toilet, mirror and light fixture which we purchased separately.

Ocean's estimate was the best we received. (One contractor gave an estimate for just refacing cabinets which was almost as much as Ocean's for brand new ones.) They also had great reviews on Angie's List so we decided to go with them. We worked with Sean. He was very responsive and easy to communicate with.

Our installers were a team of 3 that worked very efficiently and cleaned up after each work day.

There were a few hiccups along the way, but I think that can be expected when doing such a major job. Both Sean, and the installers made sure that we were happy in the end.

We would definitely use them again. The price was great, as was the quality of work and professionalism.

We are very happy with our kitchen and bathroom.

"Dariush did an awesome job on all worked performed.  He arrived on scheduled date and time.  He restretched, and repaired as needed in three rooms (bedrooms, closest stairwell landing) and moved furniture at no extra cost.  He is very particular and attentive to doing a professional job and explained the process each step of the way.  He took his time to ensure that the work was completed professionally.  He knows his trade and business.  I will never use another vendor to do this kind of work and highly recommend his service.

"Excellent work. We purchased natural cherry cabinets in shaker style, with the panels made of solid wood rather than veneer. That is more difficult work, as each panel has to be constructed from several planks. Moreover, the clear finish would leave any flaws more visible. Simply put, the doors are beautiful--flawless in both construction and finish. They are similar in quality to custom cherry furniture we own."
