JV Cabinets earns my highest recommendation for anyone considering cabinet refacing or new cabinet…read moreinstallation. From the very first visit, Paul set himself apart from other contractors I had met with -- he arrived fully prepared with a variety of material and color samples, thoroughly explained the refacing process, covered warranty details, took measurements, and even designed the layout, all in a single appointment. There was never any pressure to sign, which I genuinely appreciated. When questions came up after his visit, Paul responded quickly with a phone call followed by a detailed email complete with photos and examples. That level of follow-through is hard to find. Once I signed the contract, Jaime came by to confirm measurements and listen to my ideas, translating them into a well-defined project plan. The results speak for themselves -- everything was completed ahead of schedule. The cabinet refacing surpassed my expectations, and the material we selected not only looks stunning but feels great and is effortless to clean. The new coffee bar in the living room has become an absolute showstopper, and the added cabinets in the laundry area are both practical and well-crafted. Miguel, who handled the final installation, was a true professional -- communicative, courteous, and a pleasure to have in our home. The team wrapped up with a thorough walk-through and left everything immaculate. I've already recommended JV Cabinets to friends and family, and I would do so again without hesitation.

We chose JV Cabinets because we specifically wanted solid wood cabinetry with a painted finish, and…read moreat the time, we believed we were paying for higher quality. After completing the project and later comparing with other options, it became clear that the pricing was not aligned with the level of quality we received. The paint has started rubbing off within a year, the drawer hardware feels very low quality (mostly plastic), and the drawers did not close properly from the installation. The drawer slides and soft-close mechanisms are low quality, feel cheap and unreliable, and the slide system doesn't function properly. With our prior Ikea drawers, which had metal throughout, that was never an issue. These are fundamental issues that should not occur at this price point. Support was also a challenge. Communication felt defensive, and we had to follow up multiple times just to get someone to come out for fixes. Based on our experience, we would not recommend JV Cabinets. There are other providers offering solid wood cabinets with noticeably better build quality and finish for similar, or lower cost.

It truly turned our kitchen/wet bar as the favorite part out of the entire remodel. I thought the pricing was very fair for the amazing quality and service we were able to get. Thanks Mez!

During the call itself, a surprising amount of time was spent venting about a previous client who had changed their mind about their layour. I was also mansplained the IKEA manufacturing process (I was very clear I'm looking for custom cabinetry) which felt unnecessary and off-topic. The rough sketches I provided worked for other cabinetmakers to generate bids, but Andrew repeatedly insisted that Ogee would require additional professional drawings before providing any estimate. That's fine if it's their policy -- but the way it was communicated felt dismissive. A large chunk of the call was spent watching him try to locate photos of a past project while he was screen sharing. After several minutes of this, I asked if we could just refocus on the conversation. Overall, the interaction felt scattered and oddly adversarial for what should have been a straightforward information-gathering session.

We recommend Andrew and his team, not only for the impeccable work that they do, but also for their expertise and professionalism.

In a nutshell, working with Jitendra exceeded our expectations on several levels. The bookshelves…read morethat he designed, built, and installed really add much-needed warmth and life to our living room! BACKGROUND: We wanted bookshelves installed above a built-in cabinet unit in our living room. I sent Jitendra a sketch and described what we wanted. From my chicken-scratch sketch, he created a design and mock-up, then measured our space. While measuring, he flagged all existing flaws in the space (uneven/slanted walls) so that we were aware of all inconsistencies upfront. He has amazing attention to detail! RESULTS: We were simply blown away by how well he was able to match the custom shelves to our existing unit; all of the wood looks like it was manufactured at the same time! It truly looks like it was all constructed as one piece from the very beginning, which is exactly what we wanted. In addition, we really appreciate that he took initiative to incorporate crown molding/extra detail on the top of the shelving unit. This is something that I would never have thought to do. WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE HIM: There's good reason why the word "artisan" is in the name of this business. He goes above and beyond on quality, service, and workmanship, AND he's very personable, patient, and kind. I HIGHLY recommend working with Jitendra and his crew; worth every penny!

He is one of those contractors that you can trust without the need to be worried that things might go wrong. Jitandra is an expert at his craft, kind and down to earth, and we appreciated so much working with him.

After multiple (failed in many ways) attempts by them, Jesus came in and finished off the cabinet. We were pleased, so we commissioned him to build a display stand for the top of that cabinet. Again, gorgeous. Finally, I needed a stand for a Javanese mask my brother sent me from Thailand. Jesus had some leftover Ipe from another job and from that he constructed the perfect stand for it, a dark, lustrous wood that matched the color of the mask. The cost was very reasonable, though not cheap. He's easy to work w/ and his work is excellent.

We were doing a full remodel and I really wanted the look of a sleek floating vanity cabinet - after looking everywhere, I knew I had to have one custom made. Of course I was worried about the price. Well, I got lucky. After almost going with home depot, I found Jesus and the price was actually comparable. All I had for a plan was a drawing of a floating rectangle with some drawers, and some pictures I had from the internet. I met Jesus at his shop - which, well, isn't in the best neighborhood - but whatever - it's a wood-shop. (made me feel all edgy driving into Richmond :) The point is that Jesus was very welcoming and easy to work with. Gave me full control of whatever wood choice I wanted. Initially I was thinking of some other type of wood, I forget the name, but then I saw a slab of walnut laying against one of the walls and fell in love with it. I asked if I could change my mind and go with the walnut, and he was just like, "sure, whatever you want." I then also asked if he could build some floating shelves and a tub curtain out of the same wood, and again, his response was just as easy going and positive. He actually ended making the tub curtain out of the exact piece of walnut that I initially fell in love with - which has an awesome pattern. Anyway, he's a great guy. does great work. product looks great and is very solid. He even came to my house after the vanity was installed to drill the holes and put in the handles himself. I wish there were more people like Jesus in the world :) Now check out the photos.
