We knew this would be a time consuming project and wanted someone that was easy to work with and Felipe proved to be that guy. The entire inside of the home was gutted including the removal of a a wall/pantry area that allowed the kitchen to be completely opened to the rest of the house. Here is a quick summary of what was done: - Brand new kitchen with custom cabinetry - Brand new guest and master bathroom with modern fixtures - Replaced tile and carpet with hardwood floors and added baseboards - Removed a wall in our kitchen to open up the space and make it a open floor plan for the common area - Completely redid our electrical and rewired our house for surround sound and updated light fixtures and switches/outlets - Modernized the outdated and awkward fireplace - Custom built in entertainment center for the family room - Repaired and patched walls where necessary and repainted the interiors - Custom built in office closet for husband so the rest of the room adjoining room can serve as my office The list is really endless. The owner, Felipe and the FDO staff transformed the ideas I captured in my Houzz/Pinterest board into a reality. They were patient to listen to what we want in the house and worked diligently to complete the project in a reasonable time so we could move out of my in-laws and into our own home. We had a very positive experience working with FDO and would definitely hire them again for future small and large projects! Included some before and after photos that I will be posting on my blog. The photos really speak for themselves.

My home was newer so I was able to find the exact tile as in the dining/living room. Step Up Home Improvements had great reviews, were very prompt in responding, and gave me a reasonable price so I chose them to install my tiles. Pierre Grand was the representative from the company that was my contact for the job. I assumed he would be installing the tile or at least supervising but he was nowhere to be found when the workers came to install the tile. The workers did not speak English so there were multiple issues with not being on the same page. My mistake was assuming the workers would know I wanted the grout lines lined up straight. My wife and I had to continually ask the worker to line up the grout lines evenly and the worker would get noticeably upset. At one point, I was not home and my wife asked him to correct it but he said in broken english "Don't worry, no one will notice it". Since I am conversational in spanish, I rushed home early from work and had him correct it. The above is the main issue I had with the workers/company. They pay very little attention to detail and just try to get the job done and get out. I expressed my concerns to Pierre and he offered me $200 but never received the money. I would NOT recommend this company.

Was trying to simply save on travel time with companies I had been working with, etc.. the company I mainly worked with was in North Cleawater. I should had stuck with them. The drive would had been better then what I dealt with with this company. Let me start with the positive. The outside workers doing tile and cabinetry are wonderful. They would even be better if they had no connection Subcontracting for this business. The negativity of the Business stems from the Owner Richard. I walked into this project with a sweet yet difficult client. I came into Grands showroom to see what they had to offer. The showroom is very lovely and lots of choices. Nothing you couldn't find elsewhere. The staff comes off as being very nice. That is until your contract is signed. 2 contracts here: Contract 1 for $80,000+ for kitchen and 1 bath 2nd contract was for $15k for the shower in the bath they were already doing. None if this included flooring nor paint. As soon as contract was signed. The Owner Richard told my client referring to me. "I don't need her around to babysit me nor my workers. I need a fob and key to your condo". My client easily feeling intimidated my this man. Pushed me aside. By doing so took my project right out from under me. There is an oath against this. I was disgusted. However, it was a must I be there to help create the project before it could begin. Throughout beginning meetings I kept saying. "Don't you want to write this down don't you want to write that down"? I am unsure what ever happened to all my specific requests and details on project. However, they were tossed away somewhere. Also, they took it upon themselves to make changes to specifics like mirror sizes, height of back splashes, etc.. Whatever made it cheaper and simpler for them. So many little mistakes were made. There was constant communication with the office with me literally going in circles about the same darn specifics. So all and all Richard was wrong. They did need to be babysat. A major one. Money money money was constantly requested. Even before it should actually be do. Final 2 payment we're requested when Materbath and kitchen we're still in shambles. But through it all the worst of this project was how Richard likes to intimidate woman. I have had my business 16 years. Yet this man (the Owner) enjoyed degrading me and my intelligents. The final project looked great thanks to the subcontractors working for Grand. Again they would be better off without this negative connection. The project took months on in even though he was trying to rush the other aspects of MY project. Such as flooring, painting, baseboard, window covering, new furniture and appliances, etc.. Everything was held up because of his argumentative child throwing fit ways. I am just writing this review now. Because it has taken me months to get over the verbal and mental abuse I put up with on this project. To much anguish. More then what I ever had on any project in 16 years. My client will not be writing a negative review because she told me she was told by Richard (Owner) that the last woman that did do a bad review was threatened that she would be sewed if not taken down. These review pages are here for a reason. I would NOT ever recommend dealing with Richard, Julie (Owners girlfriend) or Amy. Amy is certainly the best out of the 3. However, it came ahead when my client came to me saying Amy was also bad talking me to her. I was degraded by this company throughout the project to my client. A client I had been working with on several different items for 14+ years. I had written a number of emails to inform Amy about lack of detail on their part. And the disrespect the Owner Richard was showing me as the Decorator on the project. My client not me was informed that Richard was going to come after me for saying anything negative about him. My communication about this man and his organization was specific to his office. I had not said anything to outsiders until write now. I feel as a consumer that I had all rights to address these major issues with his office.

We have a 70 year old home in St. Petersburg and ran into some issues that could have been anxiety producing, yet we never worried.

The transformation in our home is truly amazing. Thank you, Richard and Julie.

While we did incur some challenges throughout the process, the final product turned out to be quite beautiful in my eyes. The kitchen is now light, bright and elegant, and the new built counter height master bath vanities are great, with lots of new drawers for storage. We did incur some additional delays that also were not of their doing, such as faucets that did not arrive on time or without essential parts. Chris and his team worked patiently through the process to final completion, and did so in a responsive, professional manner; always pleasant to work with. Bottom line, in my view, the value proposition that About Face Cabinetry offers is excellent. I would recommend and would be pleased to hire them again.

My wife's dream kitchen/bath remodel by About Face Cabinetry turned into a nightmare. I would not…read morerecommend them to anyone. Chris only came on site several times during the 1-week project and never really inspected the work. The quality of workmanship on the installation was very substandard. The job included 1) replacement of all kitchen and 3 bathroom counter tops with quartzite stone 2) replacement of all master bath cabinets to 34" height and 3) refacing of all kitchen and master bath cabinets. To begin with the kitchen countertop sections were either measured and/or cut incorrectly and required considerable work to fit. The top section piece was so far off that they had to remove it and cut it down to even the overhang gap all along front of this section. This failed as the variance is still evident. This same section had a chipped edge on the back side, so they simply tried unsuccessfully to grind it out. The intermediate backsplash pieces were cut too high and so when the top section was placed on it and to get it level required spacers for support on the back side because of a ¼" gap. About Face Cabinetry added 2 iron support brackets for only an 8" overhang saying that the stone is so fragile these are required and then simply used white calk to fil the ¼" gap. Several sources for stone support bracket installation requirements provide information showing that support brackets are only required on overhangs greater than 16" not 8". There are 7 cut outs in the intermediate backsplash for electrical outlets so instead of taking these to the shop for proper cut out the sub-contractor Space Granite, LLC used a circular saw on the driveway...yes that's right a circular saw for rectangular cut outs in 30mm stone...to hack out rectangular holes. Needless to say, the saw kerf overcuts in the 4 ¾" high backsplash section in order to cut in 2 ¼"x 4" holes for the electrical outlets severely weakened this section to the point where on the one end the stone broke apart in 2 places. Again, About Face Cabinetry s solution was to patch and glue in these pieces. The saw cut kerfs were so long that they required us to purchase the oversize electrical outlet cover plates in order to cover their shoddy work. They failed to match the intermediate backsplash seam with the lower countertop section seam also. There were gaps at each end of the upper countertop section where it was supposed to meet the walls. These gaps were not even the same width along their length, being ¼" at one end and 3/8" at the other and again the solution was caulk...this time they used white caulk instead of clear like the rest of the places and did not even tool it properly. Finally, they did not cut the backsplash behind the microwave correctly and had to return to cut it after installation on the wall which added unnecessary dust to the house. Now for the cabinet refacing which again shows poor quality work. The glued Formica edge strips are sharp in places and coming unglued. There are seven original wood pieces that they would not cover....approximately 10' x 1/2" of Formica overall. This is a great testament to quality work as you open the doors to show someone, and they see reface vs replace right away. The gaps between cabinet doors are inconsistent and evident. The glued panel below the kitchen sink is still unglued on the left side even after they did their punch list corrections. Please see attached pictures which cannot really capture the detail but will give you an idea of the magnitude of defects. Again, the franchisor Chris was on site day one for a walk thru with the sub-contractors and then we only saw him for an hour or so a day, at which time he did not do any detailed inspections of the work progress. About Face Cabinetry placed a sign on our lawn on day one apparently proud of their work and advertising to our neighbors. Unlike the readers of this post who will have to decide based on my description, and pictures, those seeing the sign will be invited to see for themselves up close About Face Cabinetry work quality.
