Ryne went above and beyond to meet our deadline while still providing the highest level of craftmenship. His communication throughout the process was top tier and he included us in every decision small and large. We came to realize that managing and deligating a project of this size would be a struggle for most contractors but Ryne made it appear effortless. Overall, could not have asked for a better contractor and we will be reaching out to him in the future if we need anything else done in our home!

From the start, the pricing was very reasonable and completely transparent. Even when additional work or extra care was needed, there were never any hidden charges. Any added costs were discussed with us beforehand and only moved forward with our approval. It feels rare to find a contractor who is genuinely trustworthy and stands by their quoted pricing. The entire team was friendly, professional, and a pleasure to have in our home each day. They took the time to talk through decisions with us and shared their decades of experience whenever we felt stuck, helping us make choices we were confident in. One moment that really stood out was when Chris arrived extra early one morning just to inspect a specific section of our built-in shelving. He told us the alignment had been keeping him up at night and wanted to come back with the right tools to make a cosmetic adjustment. It was one of many examples that showed how much he genuinely cared about the quality of the finished product rather than simply getting the job done as quickly as possible. It's hard to overstate how valuable that level of craftsmanship and pride in their work is. We couldn't be happier with the final result and would gladly recommend Chris and his team to anyone looking for a contractor they can trust.

I would give these guys twice the number of stars if I could. All deserved. From the very first…read moremeeting, I loved Chris' energy and creativity. He was the first person who understood my vision for gorgeous, handcrafted walnut cabinet and drawer fronts. Everyone else in the market was trying to sell me on laminate or a faux wood fabrication. Chris invited me to visit the company's shop before making my final decision. He welcomed me in, proudly shared their work, and even had a walnut sample made for me! That sealed the deal. They are true artisans. Long story short, I ended up hiring them not only for the cabinets, but for the entire kitchen remodel from countertops to lighting, electrical, painting, and appliance installation. They brought great ideas to the project -- and did it all in less than 3 weeks! The whole crew was so thoughtful, talented, and detail-oriented - and they kept my place as clean as possible during construction. I'm hiring them to remodel my bathrooms next!

Highly recommended!

I wish I would…read morehave listened but I was recommend Dave by Tony the owner of premium cabinets that said dave is also a contractor. I gave dave 4 thousand dollars to paint an empty 800 square foot condo with no furniture and he didn't finish painting kitchen or hallways or closet shelves. It was an easy job. But it was a nightmare. I have a list a mile long. The straw that broke the camels back was him doing something simple like putting a rod in my closet to hang my cloths. Well I put my last piece of clothing on rod and the whole closet rods and brackets came out of wall on top of me. He came back after his vacation 1 week later and fixed it then he measured wrong and I couldn't open the drawers from dresser inside of closet that he knew I had to open the drawers. So that being said I couldn't trust Dave installing my cabinets for premier. He can't even hang a closet rod let alone cabinets. Hit or miss kinda a guy. Live and learn. Reviews are for a reason. Next time I will listen. That was a lot of money for me Beware.

Our cabinet company salesman put us in contact with Dave Pike, and we will be forever grateful he did! From our initial meeting to go over the project, our vision and expectations, and timeline, Dave's professional approach, support and suggestions told us straightaway that we could trust him and his work. Not only did he finish our project in time and on budget, we are so pleased with the high quality of work and his follow through to complete a few minor lingering issues. We appreciated his level of communication and follow through whenever we had questions. This is by no means our only renovation and we thus know how difficult it is to find a contractor who does what he says he will do, with expertise and consummate professionalism, and by someone you can trust to complete the project to your specifications. Dave Pike did that precisely, so we highly recommend his services. Our building manager was so impressed, he asked us for Dave's contact information so he can forward it to others in our building! He's a gem!

Proceed carefully and document everything We engaged Xcēd…read moreDesign Build for a residential project, but the contract was ultimately canceled before construction began. We were unable to reconcile the deliverables we received with the portion of the design retainer that was kept. Based on our experience, we recommend approaching the process as a structured business relationship with clear documentation at every step. While early conversations were collaborative, relying on verbal discussions instead of written confirmation led to misalignment and, ultimately, disappointment. We expected Chelsey to lead the design based on early discussions, but the project was assigned to a different designer. Documenting decisions, preferences, and changes after each meeting would have helped ensure expectations were aligned. Recommendations for homeowners: *Request visibility into design hours, specify how you want those hours prioritized, and require notification at defined milestones *Confirm the specific deliverables for each design review *Confirm who the assigned designer will be and ask to see their portfolio *Require confirmation that proposed designs would reasonably pass permitting * Ask how dimensions, clearances, and usability are validated * Even if budget alignment is confirmed upfront, document it clearly in writing *Follow the contract closely and keep all decisions in writing A consistent, well-documented process from the beginning helps set clear expectations and accountability.

Pete was fantastic to work with! He kept us updated throughout the entire project and ensured everything stayed on track. The overall project went so smooth and fast, Pete and his team overdelivered at every step. He provided insightful suggestions that made a huge difference in both the kitchen and bathroom designs, without having to consult an interior designer. His vision matched exactly what we had wanted in color, quality, and style! Pete made the entire experience stress-free, which was a tough ask as we lived through the renovation with a toddler. We actually miss the guys working at our house! Mike and Chris were the hardworking hands behind the transformation, and we can't thank them enough for their impressive craftsmanship! Their attention to detail was incredible and they both worked meticulously to ensure every aspect was flawless, even more impressive as they were working with an older house to begin with! We love hosting in our house now with a kitchen that is functional, stylish, and perfect for entertaining. The custom cabinetry, modern fixtures, and beautiful finishes have made a world of difference! We would work with Custom Cabinet Connectionsagain without hesitation!!

We started with an idea of what we were looking to do. Didn't really know what was feasible or attainable with our space. Pete showed up, reviewed the space and dimensions, took notes on everything we were really looking to get out of the space. He didn't just take down the specific things we asked for but everything we were really hoping to be able to enjoy about the space once done. He sent over designs and reviewed them with us together, had no problem with the numerous adjustments we made along the way. Not just from things we wanted to change about them, but ideas he brought up that would work really well in the space as well. Much of which we didn't even know existed. Given this was going to be a massive update to our kitchen, den, laundry room and mud room; going in we were definitely anxious about how everything would ultimately play out. However Pete communicated the timeline, how it would all take place in which periods, and what to expect along the way. Everyone performing the brunt of the work our direct employees as well. The painters and flooring are from separate companies, but they're all friends and every one of them is friendly as can be. It was comforting knowing that the largest percentage of the work performed was by direct employees and not subcontracted help. Lastly, Pete's pricing structure is top notch. It is broken apart in multiple phases. Our's was a big job, so it was 5 chunks with the first roughly a third of the cost in the first chunk (not sure if that's how it works for all jobs, just our experience with this one). With the last 4 payments being paid AFTER each phase was completed. This form of payment breakdown is also the sign of a well established contractor that knows exactly what he can deliver and when, truly putting his money where his mouth is. We've already discussed other areas of the house we're looking to update in the near future and can't wait to see them come back. Thank you so much again Pete, Chris, Mike and Tim! P.S. Pete, still need my bathroom updated; save some room in your schedule for me ;)
