The valve to our dishwasher failed in February creating significant water damage, mold and mildew under our sink cabinets and along the wall. The abatement company managed to rip out the under the counter cabinets and drywall all the while saving our granite counter tops. I called 4 companies for bids, 3 of which submitted proposals. I chose Acorn Refacing based upon the proposal and the cost. Acorn was not the cheapest or the most costly, they had the best proposal. I am writing this review based upon performance. The owner and operator Tom has been in the business for more than 30 years. When he first looked at the project he was amazed that the abatement company saved the counter top. He was very upfront in stating that his business was now focused primarily on refacing. He proceeded to walk-through the project on exactly how he would approach it, he discussed the risk of breaking the granite counter top during installation, he identified improvements to be made such as Lazy Susan for the corner, increasing the size of the drawer boxes, installing slides outs on lower cabinets and adding heavier duty drawer guides where needed. He also explained the process of using new panels on the cabinet sides and skins that are double glued on the faces and the staining process. When all was said and done I asked him if he was willing to bid on the project, he said that while he doesn't generally build cabinets any longer and he has never done a project where the cabinets were ripped out and the counter tops were in place he said it would be a challenge he would take on. It turned out far better than we expected, the style, color all look rich and beautiful, my wife is happy so I have a happy life thanks to Acorn Refacing. Tom gave us a plan, schedule, kept us informed as to how things were progressing (I travel for work) and met each of his deadlines including project completion. I would recommend Acorn Refacing for your cabinet projects, I would also recommend that all recognize doing major remodeling in your kitchen is a huge inconvenience and it is very time consuming given the number of little details you do not think about or consider, it is not an overnight process, be patient, hounding the contractor will not help schedule. Thanks Acorn Refacing for your excellent work and customer service. read more
