This project will be the third time I have renovated a kitchen. All the old cabinets and appliances OUT, all the new stuff in including appliances. I have never used Cabinets To Go. In the past I have used Home Depot.
Overview: My wife designed the kitchen on graph paper to scale. This took her several weeks of redoing. This allows a creative process of knowing what you want prior to attempting to do this kitchen project.
The People Matter: The manager of this store is Mr. Steve Colon. I met with Steve alone with my wife's drawing. He instantly went to his computer and did a CAD drawing of the plan. This also allowed him to do a 3-D drawing. Steve dealt with my family on three separate occasions for changes one prior to the order and one after the order was placed and paid for. Steve called the installer and counter-top folks whom were as professional as he was. These cabinets don't sell themselves, they need people to represent them.
Quality of the Cabinets: In my humble opinion, taking into account the two previous kitchen jobs I have done (With Home Depot). The quality is very good. The price point is below almost anybody else. Here is how they do it. The cabinets are pre-made and inventoried in warehouses. Instead of custom designing all the cabinets and waiting three months to get them. The computer program simply uses the stock. This means, every color or style in the rainbow are NOT available. We had several style options, three color options and many stone top options. HOWEVER, if you want a special color, go to a custom cabinet shop and pay over 100% more. I know, I checked.
Delivery: I choose the delivery option. It took 8-Days. No misprint, 8-Days. The delivery guys (two) were awesome. From truck to my living room in under an hour. Professional the whole way.
Installer: Setup and paid for with "Cabinets to Go." The installer Joe Mascetti was one of the best vendor communicators I have ever met. I sent him pictures of the old unit, the plumbing and the electrical. He gave me exactly what to tell the plumber. His company will take out the old cabinets, put in the new cabinets in one day with a crew of 4-5. What is remarkable is from the time I get the cabinets delivered, to have them being installed is less then a week.
Counter-Top Folks: This is always the issue. Not this time. Two days after the cabinets are installed, the stone counter top folks will measure the and template the quartz. All they needed was the brand and model number of the sink and facet (Purchased from Ferguson).
Anyone reading this review would have to ask, what is this reviewer getting from this positive review. Not a thing. All I wanted was what was promised. I have to say one more thing. It was crystal clear from the time I gave "Cabinets to Go" my American Express that there was NO refunds. PERIOD, none. You pay in full up front for everything. SO, come in with a plan, measurements and be flexible on style and color. That is the key to this company. I hope my outline was helpful. read more
