He is a man of his word who strives for perfection in his craft and guarantees customer satisfaction by his very action and not simply word of mouth.

I am happy to say I ended up with the best craftsman and person than I could ever have imagined. I highly recommend Anto's Custom Cabinetry. Jack goes beyond the call of duty.

The work the team did was beautiful and a great value for the price. We went a little over 10% over budget, which is just about what I expected for a project like this, and I was pleasantly surprised that we actually finished a few days early. The work comes with a 3-year warranty too (which we needed in the past and have had no trouble using), which gives extra peace of mind. Each person on the project - Elena the project manager, Juan the site supervisor, Alexa the designer, John the estimator, and especially the lead technician Cornelio was a pleasure to work with. As with any renovation, there are always surprises and hiccups along the way, but the team handled everything professionally, even when I was stressed and occasionally cranky. One thing of particular note was how much the team was willing to work with me when the inevitable surprises came up. There are things that nobody can foresee, which usually results in a change order and extra cost, but then there are those little things where everyone leaves a conversation with a different impression. In those latter instances, I always really appreciated how willing everyone was to meet me halfway and to make sure I felt good about how things were going and confident that we were doing right by each other. All in all, I highly recommend them and they will be my first call next time I have a project!

Masterful Craftsmanship…read more I am giving a full 5 stars to the crew that finished our basement. These guys are true professionals and absolute masters of their craft. Their work ethic was matched only by their incredible attention to detail, the quality of the finishing throughout the entire space is top-notch. They were consistently respectful of our home and clearly took immense pride in everything they built. If you are looking for elite skill and a flawless physical result, this team is as good as it gets.

He's also super friendly, patient, and kind. **Thank you, Mike!** We are also happy with the quality of the Brighton cabinets.

Shlomo was patient and offered his input as we figured out what design and materials we wanted. His team was able to move an outlet, build and install the shelving and cabinets, and mount the TV. We are very happy with how it turned out! Just a note that they specialize in custom work and keep a busy calendar so it may take some months from start to finish. Our project took even longer due to holidays and other work being done at our house. The price was higher than other companies we got quotes from due to the custom work but we felt it was well worth the quality!

You should pick "As It Should Be" for your next cabinetry project. Friends whose taste and…read morejudgment we trust recommended Shlomo and the team at "As It Should Be" to us. From the moment we reached out, Shlomo was prompt, responsive, and understanding of first-time homeowners on their first project. Shlomo came to our house and walked through with me the two concepts I had in mind. He asked key questions that helped better shape the ideas, took the necessary measurements, then followed up in short order with a clear proposal and quote. The pricing was competitive and within our budget. Once we decided to move forward, the team delivered on the carpentry faster than we expected. Max and the team who did the carpentry were friendly and understanding of two tired parents who had to work in the house through the day. The work they performed was impeccable. The final product? 1) Built-in bookshelves with a table-height counter and drawers below: a showstopper and the new centerpiece of our living room; and 2) a ceiling-high pantry cabinet in our kitchen, attached to a new counter with a built-in garbage/recycling drawer. We are thrilled with the quality of these pieces, which have truly made our new home our own. If you are looking for cabinetry work in the DC-area, we unequivocally recommend you go with "As It Should Be." They will do great work for you.

The cabinet quality is superb and the countertops beautiful. The cabinet delivery personnel went above and beyond to allow us to still move about in our space during the renovation. The countertop installers were seamless and made sure the pattern matched completely at the seams. We love the upgrade to our space and the ability to hold all of our kitchen items. We would definitely use them again and recommend to family and friends.

Mariam, Vitali, and their team were amazing to work with on our master bathroom remodel. My husband…read moreand I had an idea of what we wanted and Mariam had great ideas with the design from the tiles, fixtures, vanity countertop, paint color, etc. Vitali and his team were professional and clean and LOVE our new bathroom! We get so much sunlight in there that our dogs lay in the sun too! We will definitely be using them for our future projects in our home!

Let me start by saying the finished product was ok. There were things we asked for and were…read morepromised that were never completed. We started off with a 5 star design product. Mariam was incredible. She was very helpful in creating a design that we wanted. She helped to pick out counter tops and provided a 3D design of our new kitchen. Now we just had to wait for the project date to arrive. This is where everything went down hill. Mariam left the company and no one informed us. Emails and phone calls went unreturned. We were told she was out sick. We have an unfriendly dog that we had to find a sitter for. The project started a week late. We paid for a sitter that we didn't need. The workers were fantastic once they started. They were very respectful of our time. They were incredible. Funny thing was that our new project manager could not remember the workers names. Many issues came up during the project and I was called several times to leave my class to come home to try to solve. I am a teacher and luckily have a supportive staff that could cover my classes while I came home. We were talked into changing our ceiling lights into recess lights. We now have three different types of recess lights. But they are so proud to say instead of the 10 we purchased, they added at no cost the 11th light that was needed. During our walk through before the project, we were having a section of our counters removed and replacing it with an island. (Best thing we did) we were not sure the condition of the hard wood floors underneath. Mariam said not to worry. They would take care of the floor. After all the old cabinets were removed and replaced you could see the new ones were an inch shorter and left a visible line all around the kitchen. Since Mariam was not around to verify that she would take care of the floors and it was not stated in the contract, we had a brand new kitchen with lines all around on the floors. We had to get a different contractor to repair the floors. We also wanted a dog bowl area cut into the island. We sent pictures and dimensions of the bowls. This was in the designs. It never happened. During the project, the workers took a week off that we were not made aware of. They claimed they were waiting for the countertops. This may have been true but the communication was awful. Again a week of dog sitter that we did not need. There was painting and wallpapering that could have been done. The last week of their work I had to lock my dog in the basement because I could not find a place to take her since the project went past the time we were told. The final product looks amazing. After all the non-communication and errors being corrected, we are pleased. The new project manager again had me leave school to meet at the house so he could give us some gifts. They were pre-opened Bluetooth speakers.
