Do you want a stunningly gorgeous and updated kitchen but are put off by the dust and mess of remodeling and living without a functional kitchen for weeks - not to mention the exorbitant cost? A typical remodel involves tearing out and replacing kitchen cabinets, causing immense disruption and mess, while also having the potential for surprise issues that blow up your budget.

Detail paint work is lacking. We ordered our kitchen reface in March 2021 and had it scheduled to be installed in October 2021. Our package included detailed black pin-striping / piping to accent the off-white color choice. When the cabinet doors were due to be installed, every one of them had flaws caused by their in-house pin-striping representative.
We refused the work. When they initially attempted to repair the first batch, it was even worse. They eventually had to have 100% of the cabinet doors remade. These didn't arrive until the day prior to Thanksgiving. Even then they had to send a crewman to correct the paintwork of the replacement doors. The same crewman did the rework even after I specifically requested a more seasoned crew member to the re-work.
Not at all pleased with their attention to detail with their quality control. When I approached them for compensation for the excessive delay and poor initial quality control failure, the shop manager and owner both adamantly refused to consider compensation. I have photographic evidence to support my true review. I am not vindictive, however just reporting a true account of the quality of work American Wood Reface produced for my kitchen.

From the initial consult to final installation, Jim, Jim, Mike, and Rob were all incredible. We could not be happier with our new kitchen. Everything is top notch, installation was smooth, quick, and painless, and the qulaity is outstanding. All for a price we could afford!

After 26 years in our 70-year old house, it was time to update the kitchen. Refacing or new cabinets? After going thru the entire process, I'm so glad we opted for refacing. The cabinet facings LOOK like new and the drawers ARE new. We finally have a stylish kitchen and the process took only 2 days from start to finish. Installers were prompt, industrious and neat, and they cleaned up completely before leaving both days. They even helped us hang some lights. Top notch workmanship and products. We LOVE our new kitchen!

We recently updated our 22-year-old kitchen using American Wood Reface. The process from initial consultation to completion was handled professionally by all parties. The two-man construction crew of Carlos and Rob worked tirelessly to transform our kitchen from builder's grade to "custom". They are modern-day master craftsmen who took pride in their work and were courteous and considerate.
At the end of each work day several things occurred: 1) they updated us on what had transpired; 2) they answered questions on completed and pending work; and 3) they cleaned the work area in order for us to use the kitchen. Once completed, the transformation exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this company and construction crew.

From my first encounter with Tim (sales manager) to Jim (installation manager) to my install (so professionally orchestrated by a young man named Mike), this has been one of the best experiences having to do with construction in my home I've ever had (and I've had a lot of experiences!). I told Tim what I wanted to change in my kitchen and what I wanted to keep, and he went from there; he actually talked me out of replacing my countertop that was in excellent condition (two other companies told me I needed to replace it).
He listened to me, offered suggestions, and presented me with an estimate well within my budget and a beautiful design. A week later Jim and Tim came out and spent over 2 hours going over the plans with me and measuring. Because the doors, drawers, cabinets are built by the Amish, they were honest about the approximately 2-month turnaround time. Because of COVID it took an extra month for the installation. Mike and his partner spent 2, 12-plus hour days transforming my old outdated kitchen into a brand new, exactly-what-I-hoped for, kitchen that I can live with for several years. I HIGHLY recommend this company. Excellent experience!

We are very happy and satisfied with our experience with American Wood Reface. Everyone we came in contact with from beginning to end was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about the products. Jim, our sales person, was very easy to work with and made suggestions on wood, color and hardware that would make our kitchen cabinets blend well with the rest of the house.
He also suggested cabinet design changes that would make storage more efficient. Jim, the Installation Manager, was also very easy to work with and worked with us to make some upgrades that we wanted. He also explained the whole process and what to expect. The two carpenters were very consciences of keeping everything clean by covering up floors, appliances and closing off the work area.
They were on time, asked questions if needed and explained what they were doing. We were very impressed on how hard working they were, the quality of their craftsmanship and attention to detail. We are so pleased with the results that we will have them do our bathroom next. We highly recommend American Wood Reface and thank everyone involved with this project.

From start to finish this was a first class operation. Have had many "Home Projects" and even though I always do extensive research on the companies I contract I have never been more impressed. Everything was planned and executed to perfection. Stephanie has great ideas AND unending patience.never lost her "charm" and/ kindness as I made and remade decisions on the hardware. Carlos and Robert were just "the best".totally efficient and professional and left behind workmanship that is above and beyond expectation. Totally satisfied customer here!

AWF remodeled my kitchen in 2018 with really great results. They refaced all cabinets, custom extended one area to provide more storage, replaced laminate countertops with granite, refaced pantry doors, installed backsplash tiles. Patrick was a superb craftsman and Ron (their salesman) was so good at helping me finalize the design plans. Their cabinet reface is of such high quality, you would never know that they weren't brand new. All withing 3 weeks! This is a great way to upgrade your kitchen; I highly recommend AWF!

One of the best companies I have used ever. The initial salesman Jim, came to our house and gave us ideas we had never considered. There was no sales pressure and we were left with options to consider. When we decided to go forward the project manager came over and reviewed and further refined the scope of work. We scheduled the job six weeks later and it was completed in three days as anticipated.
The crew of carpenters who did the work were amazing. They showed up early, worked tirelessly with great attention to detail. They cleaned up every day and treated our home with care. The final product was beyond our expectations, and everybody who was seen the result cannot believe this isn't a new custom kitchen.

American Wood Reface TOTALLY changed my kitchen into my DREAM kitchen! I cannot tell you how worn and tired the old oak cabinetry was. The professionalism from the office to the carpenter was the best I have ever experienced! They had my kitchen completed within two weeks. Refaced all the cabinets, installed Cambria countertops, new kitchen sink and faucet.
My old cabinets did not go all the way to the ceiling (just a place to collect dust), so they built new cabinets above my existing cabinets. If your kitchen is looking tired and old, I highly recommend American Wood Reface.

I had my kitchen completely redone cabinets refaced, some cabinets rebuilt the whole process took about three weeks. I redesigned my set up so some cabinets needed to be built from scratch. The carpenters that are with this company are phenomenal. This job turned from a simple refacing job to a complete kitchen remodel. My idea of course. I could not have asked for a better company to work with from the sales person Ben to Terry. the carpenter.what a perfectionist he also left my house every day neat and clean. They also had did the cabinet and replaced the countertop in my powder room I would definitely recommend them to anybody else five stars.

My experience with this entire company has been superb! We met Tim at a Home Show in Greensboro, N.C. and he came to the house to measure and give an estimate. We didn't need his services for another year and he held on to the paperwork until we were ready. Then Jim met us and did the contract, final measurements, etc. It took three months for Carlos to begin the work but they completely refaced the whole kitchen in two days.
They set up their equipment on the deck, covered my new floors, and cleaned everything up spotlessly before leaving. They were ultimate professionals and I would highly recommend them to anyone. I am 100% satisfied with my new kitchen.

Stay far away from this company They do not take ownership for their mistakes. After destroying my new white marble tile due to not taking the extra step of sealing the tile prior to applying the grout, they blamed us for the shiny white tile turning a dull gray. We expected the President of the company to come to our rescue but we experienced the polar opposite.
He claimed we should have expected the gray grout to stain the porous white marble. On top of that he said they don't interfere with giving advice on grout color! This is certainly contradictory to the services stated on their website and not customary for a kitchen remodel company. We ended up hiring someone else to remove the new tile and replace it with new white tile.
After discussing the debacle with multiple tile professionals who educated us in the proper grouting process, (always seal prior) we decided to deduct the cost of the tile and labor from American Wood's invoice. After all, the tile was expensive in our 20x25 kitchen. To demonstrate their lack of integrity and accountability further, AMerican Wood placed a Mechanics lean on us for the amount we deducted and more! Mind boggling.
