I hired Karen and Joe Santelli of D&S Edificio and Santelli Custom Cabinetry as the general…read morecontractors to gut rehab my condominium which was in it's original condition from the early 1960s. The project timeline was an ambitious 12 weeks to rip out the floors, tear down walls and completely re-disign and install 2 1/2 bathrooms, the kitchen and one of the bedrooms with a new built-in walk-in closet. Santelli made all of the cabinets for the kitchen, bathroom vanities and closet built-ins for the walk-in master closet and the closets in the second bedroom. Everyone said it couldn't be done and that I was looking at a 6 - 9 month construction site. Well, they finished the job in 13 weeks and the delay was caused by the City which held up our permits for two weeks. They were a pleasure to work with, extremely responsive and responsible and I couldn't be happier. Karen and Joe had some great ideas, were very flexible and accomodated all of my tweaks to our plans without missing a beat.

Then we found Troy. At the end of the it all, Troy delivered great custom cabinets with high-quality components, faster than promised and at prices well below other custom quotes we'd been given. I grew up in my dad's custom cabinet shop and I know what good looks like - and this is good work. Of course, it's not as cheap as the stock cabinets from, say Home Depot, but the price difference was actually not anywhere near as bad as I would have expected -- and the quality is miles better.

I'd resisted replacing it because of the disruption to our lives. Then the refrigerator started failing. A new one wasn't going to fit. So a cabinet had to be removed. That's when we bit the bullet and found a designer, Glen Lusby, through the "Designer-on-Call" at the Design Center at The Merchandise Mart. He and his associate Patrick helped us decide we could update our kitchen by replacing the flooring and countertops and adding a backsplash. Ultimately we also chose a new sink and surrounded our new refrigerator in a bit of cabinetry and repainted the walls and ceiling. Glen helped us wade through the myriad materials, finishes, colors, and suppliers. Then he suggested some general contractors for us to meet. We met with three. The ABL Group wasn't the least expensive, but they made us the most confident they could complete the work as quickly as possible. He and Patrick were involved throughout the planning and construction. The project was completed in three weeks (except for a couple very minor touch-ups) and on budget (except for some add-ons which we approved). God forbid we have to do any further construction, but if we do we'd unhesitatingly call on Glen Lusby to help us with it.

We did really like the accent cabinets CCP had for our island so I reached out for new pricing. Instead of pricing, I got this amazing email accusing me of taking his design - that I paid for- to another company and then basically telling me he had no interest in doing business with me. I never asked for a refund and he makes references to business policy's that are non existent at least in writing. Finally he knew we wouldn't be making a decision for more than 90 days so had I known of this secret policy - I never would have paid for anything! He made a lot of assumptions in his email when all I was asking for was revised pricing! I reached out twice but he hasn't responded. No stars for Tony!

We were doing a kitchen remodel and during the process wanted to add some built-in cabinetry to make our rather small main living room/kitchen space more functional. We live in the city and anything to increase our storage space, while looking damn good in the process, is a YES PLEASE!!!! I contacted about 4 other contractors to get quotes on our cabinetry and William came back the quickest with his auto-cad renderings and a good quote to boot. We desired a desk space with upper and lower cabinets and 2 areas with floor to ceiling cabinetry with molding on top. In addition, we wanted to paint our kitchen cabinets from a cherry wood to white and preferred the cabinet fronts to be sprayed as opposed to hand painted. We wanted the new cabinetry to match our existing kitchen cabinetry (with the color change to white) seamlessly. William came out and took measurements and helped give me a better understanding of what would work in our space (i've never done this before) and gave very helpful suggestions (i.e. adding molding to the top of our kitchen cabinets that would match what he was doing to our built-ins). We decided to go with him and i haven't regretted our decision in the least. Oh, i forgot to mention that my girlfriend had used him for their built-in entertainment center and we loved the quality and how awesome it made their living room look. They had gotten Will Product's name from their neighbors.... So, it was nice to know that you were getting someone who had been "vetted", so to speak. I can be a bit detail-oriented and OCD about some things, and William was amazing. He responds to emails almost immediately and was quick to address any issues that i had. His guys, "Mr. Tom" and "Mr. Ernesto" (as my toddler called them) were beyond great and super professional. They were at my house for almost a week, my daughter still asks for them! :) The work that these guys do is truly a skill and a craft. The cabinetry and the cabinet painting that they did for us was revolutionary!!!! it transformed our space big time. The white cabinets and the floor to ceiling cabinetry has made our space look brighter and bigger. We can't be happier and truly love love love being in our home now. these guys rock!!!!

But truly, the beauty of the experience was how much he helped me decide what was the best solution for the space that I had. My original vision was quite impractical and he talked me down which was great because it came out a lot better and definitely cheaper! I was able to look through a sample catalog but also tons of pictures of work he had already completed with other clients. He presented me with simulated images which were very helpful. Marc was intentional in how he measured and utilize what I currently have in the cabinets including pots and pans to gauge the different heights that would be best for me. Everything went really well when Nick came to do the installation and my reaction when I saw everything completed was that it's much better than I even thought it would be! I truly appreciate Marc making everything right and expediting the project getting finished. I am incredibly happy with this investment and it already has made my kitchen and easier place to navigate and definitely a thousand times classier.
