Can't say enough about Brian and my experience with Cabinet Effects for my recent kitchen reno. Brian was so attentive and professional from the get go and extremely helpful with direction to make the whole experience truly amazing. He always kept me updated as to how the project was progressing, went above and beyond to make sure his end of things were on time when working with my contractor, and always answered any questions I had. I received nothing but wonderful feed back from all that have seen the finish product and couldn't be happier. Thank you Brian/Cabinet Effects for an amazing job!

We used Cabinet Effects for our kitchen reno and the entire process from start to finish was smooth and on time. Brian worked with us on a design we love that meets our requirements perfectly. His staff is extremely professional and puts a lot of focus on quality craftsmanship. His support after the process was complete is amazing, and he's always quick to answer questions and provide tips.

The team was extremely professional from the beginning stages to completion. They did a fantastic job. They were very helpful, and listened to my design ideas throughout the process and made it come true. I appreciate all the input from them as I was making decisions to make my bathroom remodel beautiful. The team never left a mess after they were finished working, and I really liked that I could call/email with any questions I had along the way. They were even super friendly with my grandchildren. Very courteous, helpful, and friendly. I highly recommend them to anyone and I look forward to

Brian, Leti & the team at Cabinet Effects were an absolute pleasure to work with for our kitchen renovation. They were excellent communicators who listened to what we wanted & kept in touch throughout the project so we always knew what to expect. A year later, we continue to LOVE our kitchen & all the features that make it such a pleasure to work in (& to look at). The quality of the work is second-to-none. Whenever we hear of people thinking about a home renovation, we always make mention of this great little company in St. Clements whose work we highly recommend!
