“The staff at Studio 321 is top drawer. We are so fortunate to have a tile company of their caliber in Hickory.”

“I am a 57 year old male who, along with only my wife's assistance, has refaced my entire kitchen by using support services and materials provided by The Cabinet Joint, specifically working with the owner, Brian Long. Our project is almost complete, and I would like to express my views concerning Mr. Long and his company. 1) I am a typical DIYer with carpentry skills ranging from low to excellent, depending upon the specific task. My tools are mostly basic quality, but function as intended. Before becoming involved with the Cabinet Joint, my knowledge of cabinets and refacing was ZERO. I would not have been able to explain the difference between a raised panel and a shaker door, I did not know how to measure a door opening to determine the proper door size, I did not know what any of the following terms meant: door overlay, hinge boring distance, raised panel door, shaker door, returning molding on itself, etc. I had not the faintest idea how concealed hinges worked. I did not know how to properly install cabinet doors, drawer fronts, or end panels. 2) Our laminate counter top badly needed replacing. So we decided to purchase a quartz counter top to place on our exsisting 1991 builder grade cabinets. We soon realized, however, that putting quartz on our dated, honey oak cabinets would be a foolish investment. Since our budget would not allow full cabinet replacement in our medium size kitchen, I spent months researching refacing options. We decided to call one of the big boxes to get a refacing quote. I received 3 phone calls from the big box prior to our quote meeting, with the big box representative stating each time "please ensure that both of the financial decision makers in the family are present at the meeting", and then they asked for my wife's full name. Of course, this sent off alarm bells for me, so on the 3rd call, I asked to speak to the regional manager of this big box operation. Without identifying himself by name, he came on the phone and said "here's the deal...our refacing STARTS at $432 a linear foot, and that is with just basic veneer, not wood grained." My kitchen contains about 35 linear feet of base and wall cabinets, so a basic big box reface would have cost between $15,120 and $21,000 for VENEERED frames. 3) As a result of all of the above, I spent several more weeks looking for alternatives. By sheer luck, I stumbled onto the web site for The Cabinet Joint. I called them, and Brian Long answered. I discovered that they provide 1/4" thick actual wood (vs. veneer) to reface with, and they provide it in your choice of finish. I told Brian I would call him back, and dug deep into the website. I discovered a vast array of solid wood doors in every conceivable style and finish, along with exact match, real wood refacing materials. 4) But I also discovered something even more important. Since I was unsure if I could do this job myself, I began asking Brian Long about the entire refacing process. Without exaggeration, I asked him literally THOUSANDS of questions of the course of several months via both phone and email) before I even made a purchase. And guess what? He calmly and completely answered each and every one of my questions to the best of his ability. Try to find that kind of customer service elsewhere, especially if you have not committed to a purchase yet! This customer sevice is what sold me on the company. 5) I made a partial order in October 2015 for materials to reface a small section of cabinets. I considered this a "test section". Well, with my moderate skills, and the knowledge gained from The Cabinet Joint, the "test area" came out beautifully and far beyond my expectations. 6) I continued to purchase material, and continued to ask questions. 3 months later, while remodeling other rooms in addition to the kitchen, the cabinets are 95% complete. I will attach before (light oak) and after (Dark Bordeaux solid hard maple) pictures. Understand that in the pictures, the floor has not been refinished yet, the toe kicks have not been installed, and the backsplash has not yet been installed. Also understand that the pictures do not do this kitchen justice. I cannot imagine a better made door than the Conestoga Brand, and I have never experienced customer service the likes of which is provided by The Cabinet Joint. In fact, it is almost like they partner with you to help you complete your kitchen. That being said, however, for a refacing project, you are not hiring their labor, and they are not on the job with you. It is up to you, as the homeowner, to make the final and critical decisions concerning your project. When a company is not on-site and cannot view your project in person, the most that can be expected from them is to provide you with some possible suggestions. After all, you are not paying money for their extensive design work, nor their labor. However, for only around $5,700, I was able to give myself and my wife a kitchen to be proud of, and the lifetime inner glow of a job well done, with the much needed help of The Cabinet Joint. I cannot say enough positive things about Mr. Long and his Company. If you are willing to take ownership of your project, and if you are willing to ask questions and receive knowledgable answers, The Cabinet Joint is the way to go. This kitchen was done for about $5,700 in materials, not including the backsplash and quartz counter top. We will be forever proud of our accomplishment, and we have and always will strongly recommend The Cabinet Joint.”

“Ron was a complete professional. He prices were good, he delivered the products and service on time. He met scheduled appointments, was very knowledgeable and did not oversell. He provided on the products necessary. I would highly recommend Ron.”

“Recently I contracted with Express Sunrooms to install a patio cover with gutters over my concrete patio. It was an excellent experience from beginning to completion. Brett was awesome to work with. He was professional, friendly and delivered on time. I appreciate that he kept me informed throughout the process. Highly recommend this company and hope you get to work with Brett.”

“Amerock is what we like to refer to as the standard in cabinet hardware. They have been around for many many years, they offer the latest styles at a very reasonable price. Amerock offers cabinet hinges to match their knobs and pulls and are one of only a handful of companies that do so. They ship within a few days of placing an order, a little slower than industry standard but not unreasonable.”

“I remodeled my kitchen in June 2023 and used Kitchen Vision for all my cabinet and countertops. They were fantastic. They helped me select the colors and styles that would go with my uptown condo. They were extremely helpful with figuring out the cabinet design and getting the most out of a small space. I absolutely LOVE my new kitchen!”

“Let me first begin by admitting that our previous deck was a failure. Nothing was built to code and there was a miniature sinkhole beneath a few of the footings leaving us with a deck we hadn't been able to use since we moved in 5 years ago. After 2 years of research, quotes, blueprints etc., we excitedly hired Premier Porch & Patio for the job. Our key deciding factors were how highly recommended they are within our neighborhood, communication, and of course pictures of their work. I admire how Justin is actively involved in continuing education and it benefited us greatly with the choice of materials he exclusively uses. Looking back, what really cemented the relationship with Premier Porch & Patio wasn't just the gorgeous result but how smoothly the unknown hurdles were handled. We even changed our minds towards the end with some finishing details and they were kind enough to allow us time to think things over. We have had many contractors in our home over the years and I cannot remember getting Monday morning weekly updates from any company other than Premier Porch and Patio. It was a pleasure working with Premier Porch and Patio and thanks for pouring your heart and soul into your work.”

“It is so difficult finding to find someone you TRUST in the construction trades. I say this having actually worked in the construction trades myself! Combine this with a trade that incorporates technology and you really have a problem. Let me help put your mind at ease in at least one area. If you need to have a home wired for security, home theater, "smart home" capabilities, etc., look no further than SoundVision, LLC. Mark Dipietro and his staff are fabulous. They are competent, creative and above all TRUSTWORTHY! You never need worry about anything unscrupulous with this group - they are top shelf!”

“Wayne and crew are very helpful, professional and efficient. We have used Wayne for all of cabinet needs for the last 8 years. They have installed dozens of kitchens for us. I highly recommend them if you are looking for an exquisite "kitchen look" without the price. You will not be disappointed!”
