Finer Cabinetry. Finer than the rest as one might infer from the name. That would be a good…read moreconclusion based on our experience of having Finer Cabinetry create two pieces of custom furniture for us. The outcome was truly top notch and every step in the process professionally managed. At this point in our lives we've gutted and remodeled one house and had two built from scratch, with custom cabinetry and custom casegoods furniture included. Sadly, it wasn't until a couple of months ago that we discovered Finer and this time for a furniture project. We wish we had known of them earlier because they would have been our first choice for cabinets. We've seen Finer's cabinet work in homes in our community and it is absolutely impeccable in craftsmanship. The company is run by two men named Steve, one of them runs the front office and does the customer outreach and the other runs their custom cabinet shop and helps create the fabulous case goods. Both are a delight to work with and each brings with them nearly forty years in custom cabinet work with the fine craftsman outlook that experience supports. Their passion for getting things right is evident and delightful. Finer Cabinetry will not be the least expensive of options you'll find, but you'll find no finer (pun intended) for the quality of outcome. You get what you pay for and then some. And when the original estimate for our furniture came in over our budget, they were happy to work with us to simplify some of the design elements that added to the cost so we could end up with designs that allowed us to stay in budget and also have the feel we wanted for the furniture. The outcome was stellar quality craftsmanship, the best we have ever had done compared to three other custom cabinet makers and three other custom furniture makers. The next time we build or remodel a home with a need for cabinets or have custom furniture on our radar, Finer Cabinets will be our first stop. It does not get better than this for a company run by folks with integrity and skill, to create true fine craftsman work. THIS N THAT: The exterior of their location is unassuming in a small building in an industrial area on Bend's east side. But go in the customer offices and you'll be able to see some of Finer's beautiful cabinet and woodworking handiwork. You'll be hooked! And if you love wood shops as my hubby and I do, see if you can peek inside their big shop. Well organized, lots of top notch specialty equipment, and the best staff folks doing the work.

We haven't used Steve yet, but plan to in the near future. My husband is very picky and in general…read moredoesn't like people. However, from the little time he spoke to Steve my husband was convinced his cabinet shop is the best. We got an estimate and as the other reviewer said, Steve was great in working with our budget and coming up with different quotes for different options. He came to our house twice and this was last year when we first bought our house. We ended up not deciding to spend the funds for a new kitchen at the time, but now we need to and when we re-contacted Steve he was nice as ever. No grudge for not using him the first time. His quality of work can be seen in the office and its impressive. You should stop by as I would highly recommend him. Oh, and we also had Home Depot do a quote and they were the same price and not honest about their installation fees which they add on even though they make it seem like it's included in the price. The Home Depot cabinets were also the cheapest model, and nowhere near as nice. In this case it makes us happy to know that we can support local business and get the best quality. Update: Our kitchen is done and the team was great to work with. Probably the best in Bend. I would highly recommend them. You may see their work in the photos I posted. These people are reliable and deserve 5 stars. Once you work with the average Bend contractor who doesn't show up or takes 10 times as long as they could or does a half ass crappy job you will really appreciate this company.

My husband and I really enjoyed working with James, owner of Smitty Construction. James helped us complete three renovation projects: our kitchen, a full bath and a powder room. From the beginning timeline to the final walk-through (and follow-up visits) James was a pleasure to work with. He transparently communicated pricing and change orders, extended his professional discounts, and was just plain nice to have around the house for almost two months. All of his subcontractors were a pleasure to have around and spoke very highly of James. One even mentioned how he's one of the few contractors in Bend they will work with because of his honesty and follow-through. If you want a contractor you can trust, James is definitely the guy for you. We can't recommend him highly enough!

Our cabinetry is not just beautiful on the outside, our solid construction will last a lifetime. We only use the best to finish our cabinetry, and that is Steve Newman Fine Wood Finishing. Steve uses a furniture grade pre-catalyzed lacquer on our cabinetry which give a more luxurious finish that lasts longer and has a UVA/UVB component that prevents the lacquer from yellowing and the rich color of the wood from fading.
