Kitchen remodel
Sandra C.

Real Deal IS the real deal! Valerie and crew are fantastic! knowledgeable, skillful and personable. Quotes are very reasonable, considering the high quality of craftmanship and materials you will get with this Company. I got the kitchen of my dreams! Valerie was always willing to work with me on details and changes I wanted to make and always willing to take feedback. Transparency and open n honest communication was very important to me. Valerie delivered on that as well. I have bathroom projects coming and Real Deal will be doing those as well! As a woman, I'm proud to support this high quality, ethical and professional woman-owned company.

We are very please with our results with Real Deal Cabinets, Berry and his crew. We did custom cabinet and relocated our pantry, 90% if he project was done in 2 weeks. I love my kitchen HOWEVER Berry does not return call or messages when it came to repairs. I was told everything comes with lifetime warranty... well guess again!!!as you can see from other post everything goes through Berry and you can also see how he takes no responsibility for errors and is combative in his response. True lack of customer service on every level. I'll be using Pure Cabinets on next Reno's. Check out his google reviews, scary!!!

I was positive I wrote a review as soon as our kitchen remodel was finished in late 2018, but I can't find it. Berry's team did such a great job that I have to acknowledge it even two years later. They deserve accolades for their work and the professionalism of the subs. My husband and I were very pleased with the result and happy with the price. It was also done so quickly that friends said we didn't suffer enough for a remodel! In March this year, we had Real Deal Cabinets come back to do our laundry room, finishing just as quarantine was put in place. Once again we are thrilled with the result. Our laundry room still had the original cabinets from 1981 when the house was first built. While we were waiting for our remodel we even had them held up with a steel bar! It's hard to have photos do justice to this remodel, because it's a small room, but the transformation was dramatic. There is now a tall cabinet on one wall for supplies and vacuum cleaner. They even replaced the door with a pocket door, which created more room. Real Deal's team have master plumbers and can basically do anything you want within the remodel. I am about to call them for a complete bathroom renovation, confident that they will do every bit as well as we've come to expect from their work.

Valerie and Eric were outstanding to work with. They are really talented at design, make solid recommendations in line with what will look and work best with your kitchen space, and provide high quality materials and craftsmanship. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get new cabinets or a full kitchen remodel.

Example if the floorboards. Shame on them. Although the owner never came back to check on the quality of work

We went with Real Deal Cabinets because Barry had a good bid and he seemed like a really nice guy. The fact that he lived down the street was a plus because I thought it would be easy for him to check in on the job. Well I was WRONG! Barry was here the first day to start demo and collect a check. That was it. Now there was a horrible family tragedy during our job so his absence is completely understandable after that. It was everything before that was bad. We had to pay over $2,000 to fix some of the mistakes. Still have some cabinets that are off center and do not close right. We do like Jim and his tile guy though. Here's an example of the floorboard work. It's like this throughout our downstairs. It will be close to another $1,000 just to have that fixed.

Cabinets from real deal. Great quality!!

We recently ordered our kitchen cabinets through Berry at Real Deal. We were on a budget and did extensive research to find someone that could give us the best quality for the best price. Berry was our last quote of about 5-6 quotes of other local companies. Before that, we were pretty sure that we would be going with another company. After meeting with Berry, not only did his pricing beat the other company, his attitude and demeanor alone was very pleasant. When working with someone on such a big addition/investment on your home, I feel that customer service is huge! I wanted someone we were comfortable working with and speaking to in the event there were any issues. Our cabinets were received on time and delivered as promised. He made sure that everything was ordered to fit our timeline as requested. Although there were a few issues; a door hung to open the wrong way, wrong size trash can bin, and then a physical flaw on a door, he was so quick to respond and resolve the issue with no problems! To me, that alone is five star service. A kitchen remodel is stressful enough. Having a competent company working with you that stands behind their product and so willing to address any concerns has made this process a lot easier. Especially after reading reviews of other companies where the owners/employees were extremely rude and unwilling to address issues. He helped us to maximize our space to get the most use of our cabinets as we can. Our kitchen is still not 100% completed, but the cabinets look amazing! I will most definitely recommend Berry with Real Deal Cabinets to anyone I know!

The beautiful white cabinets, new wood-look flooring, new appliances, and gorgeous teal backsplash. Below is the "before" picture

Working with Berry was so easy. Not only did he stick to our budget but also the timeline! Fast and budget-conscious! Berry was very helpful, courteous and professional. He was quick to respond to any questions or concerns with a perfect solution. Everyone who worked on the project made the whole process seamless and they all treated us and our home with the utmost respect. We replaced the flooring throughout our entire downstairs, re-did the kitchen (cabinets, backsplash, appliances, and countertops) and it looks amazing. We are already planning on using them again for an upcoming project!

We wanted to remodel our kitchen and decided to interview several contractors and one of the contractors was Berry from Real Deal Cabinets. After reviewing the respective bids and viewing examples of their work, we concluded that Berry loves what he does, is personable and his bid was reasonable. As the kitchen remodel project proceeded, we expected issues to develop. As to these project issues, our experience was that Berry and his team was able to make recommendations to resolve all of our concerns. We are very pleased with our new kitchen, we do not have any regrets and have attached pictures of our old and new kitchen.

Open concept designed by Valerie. There used to be a wall where the peninsula is.

We needed more functional space and a major update of our kitchen/dining area. Of all the contractors we met with, Valerie really delivered on design and price. Through the entire process both Valerie and Eric were quick to respond, and came up with the best solutions for our design and budget. Eric's custom work is something that should be advertised more. I had a vision for a custom range hood, floating shelves, and an appliance garage and I couldn't be happier with each. They also delivered on the custom color I wanted for the cabinets, too. I can't say enough about how perfect our space turned out. They take pride in their work, and it shows.

Valerie - the new owner of Real Deal Cabinets - and her team remodeled our entire downstairs: new kitchen, new entertainment center, new powder room, new guest bath (including converting the tub/shower to a walk-in shower), and new flooring throughout. We are VERY pleased! We found her tradespeople to be thorough, professional, skilled and friendly. Valerie was very patient with me - I must have changed my mind about certain things 10 times! We would not hesitate to use her team on future projects.

Real Deal Cabinets did an excellent job on our kitchen makeover. Highly recommend.

Barry and his team had transfomed two other kitchens in our neighborhood so I was able to get firsthand referrals. We are over the moon with end product. Barry listened to our every concern and made it right. I appreciated his patience and response to texts. He has a large team of sub-contractors which were trustworthy and very talented at what they do. Big shout to Brian, the finish cabinet install and trim. His work was impeccable. Eddie for Fabrication on our beautiful Granite. Raul for paint just to mention a few. I have the good fortune to be able to work from home, which allowed me to run errands for subs and provide lunch when appropriate. BROVO Real Deal Cabinets. 5 stars!

I love how the cabinets turned out!
Natasha G.

Thank you Berry for my dream kitchen! I am so incredibly grateful for all the hard work and beautiful detail that Berry and his team put into our kitchen renovation. I truly wake up every morning so thankful for this kitchen and look forward to cooking for my family and they love it! 5 stars easily! Very happy! ‍

There was zero pressure and no upselling--just honest, trustworthy advice that helped us get exactly what we needed. When it came to installation, we had Jeff and his three sons, and I cannot say enough good things about them. This four-man crew worked together so seamlessly, and I was genuinely amazed at how fast they completed our entire upstairs. They handled everything: tearing out the old carpet, carefully moving heavy furniture, and putting every single piece back nicely when they were done. We felt so lucky to have Jeff and his sons on our project. If you are considering new flooring, you would be incredibly lucky to get this crew. I would recommend Tri-City Carpet to anyone!

Great service, fair pricing, and beautiful work!…read more I found this company through their Yelp reviews and messaged them through Yelp. They responded in less than 15 minutes and were able to schedule a free in-home estimate. Robert arrived right on time, helped us choose the right carpet and color, and gave us very helpful advice. The pricing was very reasonable and transparent, so we decided to move forward. The crew came just one week later, right on schedule, removed our old carpet, and installed the new carpet beautifully. The entire process was fast, professional, and hassle-free. We're very happy with our stairs and would definitely recommend them!

Starting my review 1 year after install. Overall we had a poor experience for the following…read morereasons: 1. The general expectations for install were never communicated to us, we have never replaced flooring and didn't know they would be demoing the entire house and then installing, requiring us to vacate the home. For someone new, it's reasonable to assume they might go room by room? Maybe not. Setting out general expectations and timelines in advance would be great. 2. The job took much longer than originally stated. 3. Quality of baseboards that they replaced was much lower than what we originally had installed. 4. The overall quality of the install was poor. It was clear they had no idea how to work with this newer product. Especially when it came to the stairs which they redid and it's still not right. 5. Photos included of messy filler/caulking, install spaces between joints and large spaces next to walls, creaky steps (multiple). I waited one year to review as the sales person said that "of course the steps will creak when they are new but when they settle in it won't". I feel like they are "settled" now but they still creak like crazy. They weren't the cheapest quote we got, we thought we were getting quality install and were ok with paying more but that was not the case.

Ernie even went above and beyond to come after the job was finished and personally add some closet dividers to our children's sliding door closets, since our old ones from the carpet were removed with the carpet demo. These guys are truly All Stars and excel in any flooring needs that are required. We have told all our family and friends and will contact Ernie and his team for anything else we plan to do in the future!! We are incredibly happy with our new flooring and how much easier it is to clean than carpet! Thanks Allstar !!
