I decided to go with 1st Ave because they were very responsive on the phone and email, and they were able to do the work faster than GS. I also really liked that the people at 1st Ave weren't pushy like at they were at some of the other companies. They came though with all they promised to do - called me when they were on the way to the job site, installed everything so all cabinets and drawers lined up and worked flawlessly, cut the quartz offsite and came back to install countertops, and cleaned up after themselves. I have been recommending them to friends and neighbours, and I would most definitely use them again.

PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!!! TL;DR: The premium price you'll pay is not reflective of true quality,…read moreservice or craftsmanship... instead, you'll end up paying a huge margin on poor quality cabinets to pay the middlemen! Writing a very lengthy review in hopes that others can make informed decisions about working with Phinney Ridge after our disappointing experience. In October of 2024, we chose to work with a small, local business because we expected a higher standard of quality, craftsmanship, and personalized service. Our initial experience in the showroom met that expectation and gave us confidence in the process ahead. Unfortunately, the remainder of the project did not reflect the level of service or product quality we anticipated. 10 months later, and we are severely disappointed with how things unfolded. This was a substantial investment--nearly $70,000--and we expected a finished product that aligned with the value and promises made. The first issues arose when the cabinet boxes arrived damaged. To PRC's credit, they addressed this with a restoration expert, and we're satisfied with how those specific concerns were resolved. However, the ongoing issues with woodgrain matching have been far more frustrating and ultimately unresolved. After three separate attempts, it became clear that a proper match was not going to be achieved. We were made aware by PRC that we would be receiving cabinets "from the same tree" to ensure an exact match across all cabinets. One day one, we had multiple varieties of wood grain/color. If consistent material wasn't available, we should have been given the option to wait. Instead, we now have five visibly different shades of wood throughout our kitchen as shown in the photos. We were also disappointed in the communication and service from Phinney Ridge once the "Pacific Coastal Marketing" team (a dealer representative/middleman) became involved. We did not expect to work through a third party--we selected PRC specifically because we wanted to avoid that kind of detachment. I found myself repeatedly chasing updates, which, according to PRC's own "Cabinetry Design Services" document, should have been handled by their team. It was unclear who was responsible for what, and the handoffs between Phinney Ridge and Pacific Coastal Marketing only compounded our frustration. To illustrate this disconnect, I'll share a quote from Pacific Coastal Marketing's homepage that I found telling: "Coastal Pacific Marketing offers valuable knowledge of the markets they serve... Their goal is always the mutual success of the manufacturer, the dealership, and each individual designer." Notably, the customer is not mentioned. This perfectly reflects the experience we had: at a certain point, it felt like the end user was no longer the priority. I share all of this not to be combative, but because I believe in honest feedback and hope this helps improve future experiences. Based on our experience, I unfortunately cannot recommend Phinney Ridge Cabinets to others.

We purchased a condo in a 14-story building in downtown Seattle, originally built in 1930. The unit…read morehadn't been updated since the 1980s conversion to condos, so it needed a complete renovation. The first contractor we met with ghosted us, and the second came back with an estimate far beyond our budget. We were close to walking away from the deal when our realtor suggested we speak with Westmintster--and that's how we met Julie West. From the moment we met Julie, we felt like we'd known her for years. She was warm and gracious, and she immediately inspired confidence. And most importantly, her estimate was far more reasonable than the others we had received. Throughout the renovation, Julie navigated challenge after challenge with creativity, professionalism, and a level of calm that kept us grounded: * The age of the building: As with any structure from 1930, surprises were inevitable. Julie handled each one with smart, inventive solutions that preserved the building's character while keeping the project on track. * A strict HOA: The building's HOA imposed very rigid rules around construction schedules and access. Julie was always patient, and worked within these limitations without compromising the pace or quality of the project. * A complex downtown environment: Working in a multi-unit building in the heart of downtown, with neighbors on all sides, added layers of logistical difficulty. Julie coordinated everything flawlessly. And her kind and caring demeanor smoothed out many tense situations. * Us, the clients: We made more than a few last-minute changes, yet Julie never once made us feel like an inconvenience. She stayed organized, flexible, and patient throughout. One thing that truly sets Julie apart is her integrity. She never cuts corners. Ever. Even when we suggested shortcuts to try and make her job easier, she would gently but firmly say, "That isn't the correct way to do it," and she was always right. Her attention to detail is extraordinary. She sourced antique hardware that matched the building's original pieces and commissioned a custom mahogany front door to replicate the historic design. The woodwork, the crown moulding, the finishes, every element reflects craftsmanship of the highest caliber. The final result is stunning. Everyone who visits our condo asks for Julie's contact information, and we're always proud to share it. The space has truly become a showpiece. If you're considering Westmintster and Julie West for your project and would like to see her work firsthand, reach out to her--we'd be happy to arrange a tour of our unit. We love showing it off. We can't recommend her highly enough.
