I was itchin to start a new project around the house and decided to paint my kitchen cabinets..by myself. After removing and stripping 5 doors I realized I was in waaaay over my head. I quickly turned to Yelp and found Cook's kitchen cabinet refinishing. The reviews are all true! I emailed Dan pictures of my kitchen Friday night and within hours I had a reply with an estimate (that was exactly what I was charged in the end). Dan and Al came out a few days later and transformed my kitchen into a fresh and bright space. Dan takes such pride in his work and produces high quality results. He and Al have this process down to a science. They use Benjamin Moore cabinet paint that is washable, durable, and no doubt will hold up for years to come. Dan is polite, friendly, and punctual. If you're looking to paint your cabinets, look no further! Call Dan Cook. Check out the before and after pics. The color I chose was Benjamin Moore San Antonio Gray. I couldn't be happier with the results.

Finished kitchen!

I was beyond satisfied with the craftsmanship! Daniel came Sunday, took the doors and panels came back Thursday to work on the cabinet fronts and had the doors up that same day. He put on the new door knobs I selected and left us with some touch up paint. It has been a week and I keep looking at our new kitchen with amazement as the cost was also mind blowing given some of the quotes we were getting. He has been doing this for 40 years. If you want someone who knows his work and delivers, you want to go with Cook's kitchen refinishing!!!!

San Antonio Gray Cabinets

After looking at ratings on Yelp and then getting a few different quotes, I decided to go with Dan and his team to refinish our cabinets. We had just closed on a house and the house already had beautiful brand new cabinets with great details, but they were this terrible shade of yellow. I knew that I needed to change them up and with all of the detail put into the woodwork in the doors/drawer, I knew I had to hire professionals. Dan was able to meet me at the new house the day after I closed to look at the project and give me a more formal estimate. I decided on the spot to go with him and he was able to take my cabinet doors and drawers at that very time and bring them back to his shop. He started work on the project three days later (Monday) when I decided which Benjamin Moore paint color I wanted to go with. That Thursday, his team came out to do the rest of the painting on site and install the doors/drawers back into place. The whole process in the house only took 5 hours and the cabinets look better than ever. I get compliments every time someone comes over about how great the cabinets look and how the color is perfect. If you take the San Antonio Gray color swatch from Benjamin Moore and put it up to my cabinets, it is the perfect match. I have nothing but positive remarks for Dan and this company and would recommend them for anyone looking to paint their cabinets.

We loved working with Dan and his team! He was so helpful, professional- an all around nice guy. He answered so many questions, offered some great advice, and we are so happy with how he redid our kitchen cabinets, our bathroom vanity, and our fireplace. Quality work from an honest guy who has been doing this for many years. Below are some before and after pictures of his work.

We acquired a new home, only 4yrs old, cabinets were in perfect condition but not at all to our taste. We had read about having them painted. Found Dan through yelp, emailed him with pictures and count of doors and drawers and he got back to me quickly with an estimate. Then I scheduled an onsite visit for a final quote. I love that he was actually early for the appointment (early each time we had to meet up!) when a lot of the other contractors I am dealing with are always late. He brought some samples for me to check out the quality of his work and different finishes. He confirmed his estimate. i also liked that the number he gave me by email was accurate. I gave him the keys and he was done in the time agreed on. The result is stunning! It completely changes the look and feel in my kitchen. I love it. And he and his team are extremely professional, punctual, great communication (which is also not at all the case with my other contractors who take so much time getting back to me...), reliable. I am so happy I decided to repaint, cheaper than new cabinets. But most importantly super happy I chose Dan!

Our cabinets look beautiful and brand new, refinished in Benjamin Moore's Simply White. Dan and his team did the job quickly and cleanly. They were a pleasure to work with. They also added new hardware and soft closures for the doors. Love the result and would recommend them to anyone.

Before/After

We wanted to update our kitchen- turns out getting all new cabinets would have not only cost more BUT change the size of our already custom ones. Taller, short depth- no thank you. I found Dan online and it was dream come true! Our kitchen facelift could finally become a reality! Dan was wonderful to work with, the best contractor we had for the entire project. Prompt, honest and hardworking. You could not find a better guy for the job! I love the updated look of our kitchen. He comes highly recommended! Note* Cabinet color is Dove White.

I cannot say enough good things about Dan and his cabinetry work. He is so professional, responsive, nice and he takes great pride in his work. It was such a good experience having him paint my kitchen cabinets. He is the only contractor I have ever met that came over in the evening so I didn't have to take off time from work to meet with him. Amazing. I even found the process of choosing a color for the cabinets so painful that I almost avoided the whole project because of it. Dan came to my place and in under 5 minutes helped me decide on a shade of white that would go with my white counters. He was completely right - - the colors look perfect together. If every contractor out there was like Dan, renovating a home would be a breeze. Also, his prices are very reasonable and he doesn't charge for every little thing. Example - - he installed all my new hardware for no additional charge. He even sent me pictures during the installation so I could decide on the layout of the handles visually (and gave me his professional opinion which was helpful). If you are considering painting your cabinets - - I can't imagine a better person to do it than Dan Cook!

They did such a great job! They were able to get me in sooner then scheduled in peak season and they completed work in half a day! Great job! I highly recommend. Dan was able to match the exact color of a color in my backsplash!

Dan was wonderful from start to finish. Our cabinets look amazing and he was a pleasure to work with. We went with a white dove for he cabinets and light gray (Nimbus) for the island. Looks great!!

We are thrilled with our kitchen cabinets Dan painted for us. They look brand new, and really added to our kitchen remodel. We couldn't be happier with Dan and his crew.

I'm so happy that I found Planet Cabinets. I have a small kitchen and I was so ready to update it…read moregiven how much time we've been stuck at home because of the pandemic. I tried working with other cabinet suppliers including Home Depot, but the service was terrible. Ofer at Planet Cabinets was incredible from the first email to set up an appointment! We met and he walked me through his showroom, gave me several options, and followed up with a detailed quote in my price range. We talked to confirm measurements, etc. and he always followed up quickly. He was present when the cabinets were delivered and quickly replaced a damaged cabinet. Thanks to him I have my new beautiful, functional kitchen!!!

Ofer was patient, knowledgeable, and never pushy -- he took the time to walk us through our options and helped us feel confident in our decisions. We went with Orange Cabinetry, a more budget-friendly brand that Ofer endorsed in terms of quality and customer service. Even though there was a delay in stock (which we were informed about in advance), the team encouraged us to stick with the sage green color we really loved instead of settling for something else just to speed things up. I'm so glad we waited -- the cabinets are beautiful, well-built, and exactly what we wanted. We've gotten a ton of compliments. Planet Cabinets also helped us source Jeffrey Alexander hardware, and their support with sizing and quantities made that process easy. Overall, we felt informed, supported, and never rushed. Highly recommend Planet Cabinets if you're looking for a company that balances affordability with honest, thoughtful service.

From the very beginning, they worked with our space and our design requests and made recommendations based on their experience that we knew we could trust. They were clear and upfront about the process, what we could expect, and provided different cost options based on different features. During the building phase, they reached out with design options and recommendations, and we felt like they listened and understood what we wanted. They even matched our current paint and worked with our current fixtures and outlets. Installation took a little longer than expected because they weren't satisfied until it was perfect, and we appreciated their attention to detail. In the end, they delivered on time and on budget. We are delighted with our new library and would work with the Wade Brothers again in a heartbeat.

Don't order through Emily!…read more This place is amazing. Good quality. Decent prices. I've purchased two kitchens and two bathrooms from here. We were referred here from a good friend of ours. They renewed their kitchen and purchased their cabinets from here. When we walked in few years ago we were greeted by John. We placed all of our orders through him and never had a problem. In October we decided to add an island to our kitchen. We called asking for John and we were informed he no longer worked there but they transferred us to his replacement, Emily. We provided the measurements and Emily sent us confirmation and a sketch just as usual. We asked if this order was going to be ready by thanksgiving so we can order the marble and hire our installer appropriately. She said it was not a problem. We received the cabinets a week before the holiday and we were relieved we had time to spare. Well, Emily screwed our order. First of all, we had to pick up the cabinet handles at the facility when John would usually just ship it to our home. 2nd, she forgot to include the panels, foot kickers and corners. We ordered a kitchen island. Unless you want the wood to show in the kitchen, you kinda need that to match with the rest of the cabinets. And 3rd, instead of an apology, because this was an error on her behalf, she just said "Things do happen ma'am." Uhmmm yes, mistakes may happen at the workplace but own up to it if you are at fault. So we called on Saturday to let her know what was missing and she said they had everything there for us to pick up by the end of the day. I go to pick it up on Monday and they had me going back and forth from the front desk to the cabinet pick up area. No one knew what I was talking about and when I talked to her about it she acted clueless. If we called ahead of time to request the missing items, don't tell us to go and pick them up if you're not going to have them ready. The end result: I did not get my panel so the wood will show on the sides of my island for the next 2 weeks. Poor customer service. If you need cabinets, this is the place to go, BUT ask for someone else besides Emily. *this would have been a 5 star review. John was always excellent and made sure we had everything with our order. Never had anything missing and he didn't have us running around seeking for parts.* We wouldn't have been upset if it wasn't ready by thanksgiving, we're upset because we had to go through this hassle. We could have easily put it off after the holiday and I would've had a nice, clean kitchen instead of an unfinished construction site.

Design team is good. Kornilia did a great job in designing kitchen. Pricing however was way out…read moreof our budget. Please get pricing upfront if you can.
