    We started with just wanting a stainless sink. However after attending the BIA Homeshow and speaking with several companies, we decided that Essential Cabinet Refacing was the company we wanted to renovate our kitchen. We saw a one-piece sink which required no caulking with the new countertops we selected so we chose that over a stainless sink. Diane also helped us choose refacing with a Laminate Biltmore Cherry which would save us some money because they would use our existing cabinets but change out the doors and drawers. Ringo Pauly spent many hours explaining the process and also how to care for our new kitchen. We are very happy with the job Brett and Joe did and had the sense that they personally cared for the work they performed. I would and do recommended Ringo and his staff to anyone redoing a kitchen and may not want all Brand New replacements....

    White part of the counter left out. The toe kick at the bottom, and a part of the counter behind it.

    Essential Cabinet refaced my kitchen door cabinets and replaced them with real wood with trims and brown finish to match my furniture. It looked nice, and I paid at least $18K (including tax). After paying in full and in the evening, I noticed a section of the counter was left in white, the previous color. I called Ringo, he said that they do not cover toe kicks with veneers for a reason. If you look at the picture in this review, it did not look right because the white color of that section of the counter stood out from the rest of the brown looking counter. Ringo said he will come by, and he did and took a measurement of that section. I again kept following-up thereafter to ask when they will come by to fix it. I called Ringo, Diane, then Ringo, Diane again, etc., etc. via phone calls and texts. He said one day (a Monday), then another day. I finally received an actual schedule, on a Wednesday before the Christmas weekend, but the worker who supposed to fix the counter apparently called out. I knew it was going to take a while again with back/forth especially around the holiday season, and I already paid. I realized some companies do not really want to return to re-do a job after the customer already paid in full because it would take money/time/manpower and is a loss from that company. I went ahead and painted the area myself, and it looks better now. Long story short, do not pay in full until you check and see if everything you wanted on the job has been fulfilled to your satisfaction. I learned my lesson. As a customer, please ensure that the person who is working on your cabinets cleans up the area, in my case my kitchen floor and counter. The staff swept the floor, but I still had to sweep and wipe the counters after the job each day. Really, not a biggie. However, when the job was done, wood shavings were left under the fridge. The fridge had to be moved to place veneers on the cabinets above the refrigerator and was placed back without cleaning the floor where the wood shavings dropped. There were also glue drops on the floors. I am still finding some glue on parts of the kitchen wall. Thanks to Ringo for giving me a good solvent to clean up any glue residues. Note: I am writing this review from my own personal experience with this company. You may have a different experience. Thank you.

He also made new custom doors and drawers for our bathroom vanities that fit perfectly and made the vanities look new. Kenny was very easy to work with and he provided good guidance and advice on the design for our new kitchen cabinets. He is a skilled cabinet maker and I was totally impressed with the construction of the cabinets and components. He used high quality materials for all the cabinets, door hinges, and soft closing drawer slides. Everything is solid, all drawers and doors operate smoothly and these cabinets look good and will last a long time. Kenny did a real professional job installing the cabinets, making sure the cabinets, doors and drawers were all properly aligned and working perfectly. I definitely recommend Kenny and Bert's Cabinets and will use him again for future cabinet work.

There are very few individuals I would personally vouch for, and I don't know Kenny (owner & operator) personally, but I would totally drop his name to anyone that is looking for help with their cabinets!!!!! 5 exclamation points y'all! Lol To invite you into my 5 STAR experience, here's a list of reasons why I believe you should hire Bert's Cabinet for the job AND/OR refer your friends and family: - Kenny was prompt to respond to the Yelp Project request that 3 other vendors completely ignored - Kenny is so down to earth! He took the time to listen to my concerns and we discussed the best route to take. The home we just purchased had cabinets that were put in all kapakahi - boxes, doors, and knobs! Kenny was confident that he could solve our kitchen problems :) - Kenny showed up ON TIME to each appt and remained considerate of us, considerate of our home, considerate of my neighbors, accurate in measurements, respectful of our budget, AND clear in setting expectations from start to finish! On install day, we got an exclusive visitation from Kenny's assistant - THE Bert himself, Kenny's dad! Lol Kenny & Bert worked great together. They accepted one another's input and got the job done fast. For our whole kitchen, with setup to protect our floors and countertops, installing the custom made drawers, refaced cabinet doors and hinges, placement and install of our provided handles in 3 different sizes, clean up, chatting thru the celebration of our brand new cabinets, and collection of payment - Kenny & Bert completed the job in less than 5 hrs! I could go on and on with the many things I appreciated about this company and their work. It's good to see small businesses with such high quality and standards for themselves, and who commit to doing solid work. With our new home purchase and renovations gone south, not to mention the many issues we faced right after purchasing this property, Kenny of Bert's Cabinet was a breath of fresh air!! Hire him!!

This locally owned company specializes in custom storage solutions, and their team really lives up to the name. They were professional, thoughtful, and so easy to work with. The finished product looks amazing and has added so much functionality and style to our home. In fact it's so seamless... wouldn't even know we put it there unless we told you it's an addition! All in, the cost came out to just under $4,000, which was pretty much on par with quotes we got from big box stores after including install etc. (the depth is only 10"... otherwise big box may have been cheaper if it was the standard 12"). Although it was slightly more, we felt much better supporting a local business that offered higher quality materials, better service, and a strong warranty. It felt like money well spent. The process was super smooth. They came out to our home to take measurements for free and brought a great selection of samples so we could start narrowing things down. After that, we met at their SALT Kakaʻako showroom, which is beautiful and very helpful to see things in person. That final walkthrough gave us peace of mind before placing the order. Kayla was such a pleasure to work with. She was incredibly helpful and patient throughout the design process. With Susan's support behind the scenes, everything came together seamlessly. They truly cared about the details and were quick to answer our questions or make adjustments. One small thing I might have missed in the planning process is that the cabinets are backless. That was a surprise, but in the end, it doesn't take away from how much we love the final look. It's clean, custom, and feels just right for our space. We are honestly obsessed with our new cabinet and highly recommend Inspired Closets Hawaii. If you are looking to upgrade your storage with something beautiful and built to last, this is the team to trust. Support local and you will not be disappointed

    FIVE STAR rating to Jeff, Keith and the crew at Hawaii Home Remodel!…read more I contacted HHR at the end of December to receive an estimate. Instantly, I heard back from Keith to schedule a home visit. In the first week of January, Keith came by to do a look through. He was very kind and professional. Keith emailed my estimate within several days. Our bathroom remodel was scheduled to take 14 days, but it was completed within 9 days, which was good for our family considering we only have one bathroom. From initial contact throughout the project Jeff, HHR Supervisor, kept open communication with me every day. He kept me afloat on what they found, what needed to be done, what my options were. Jeff and his team were very detailed and the level of work they did was beyond superb. I'd like to send my all my aloha and much mahalo to Keith, Jeff and their Hawaii Home Remodel crew for their expertise and hard work over the past 9 days. You brought our outdated bathroom up to 2026. My COASTAL MODERN bathroom dreams have come true! P.S. so, when's our next project??!?! : ) HIGHLY RECOMMEND Liz Martin & Family
