Joinery & Cabinet Makers in Old Lyme, CT

“iI just completed a job with John Dean Custom Cabinetry. The quality, design and customer service was supurb. The work was done promptly and price was very competitive and worth every penny. There were no compromises, a couple gliches occurred but were promptly remedied so the result was exactly what I wanted. Two years ago I did a kitchen with another company at a second home and glitches were solved with compromised solutions. It was a company supplying stock (high end-Chrystal) cabinets. I discovered this is a big advantage of working with custom cabinets. I was very happy with my choice of JD I would recommend them highly to anyone. Edward Molyneaux”

“Custom Cabinets. Mike built an amazing custom wardrobe for our bedroom and it is just beautiful. Mike was so easy to work with and designed the unit to meet our storage and design needs all within our budget. We are now contemplating having a Entertainment Center w/ Shelving built to house our TV and electronics in our family room. Custom pieces are fairly expensive, but they add so much value to the home and solve so many storage and design issues. We are very happy with the results.”

“I am in love with my new kitchen!!! The cabinets are so luxurious! Their selection was incredible and we found the perfect match for our home. We found the staff to be very professional and completed the project on time and within budget for our remodel Thank you DK”

“I had a tricky kitchen rehab requiring custom cabinets and Quality Woodwork came through with flying colors! On time, on budget and every bit as high quality as was hoping for. He did an accurate set of drawings including 3-D so I could tweak the design before he began building. First rate work! Highly recommended!!”

“Doing business with Don & Chris over the past several years has been both a distinct privilege and a joy. From the outset they worked closely with our architect and builder to create, install and maintain magnificent custom cabinetry and furniture that transcends mere craftsmanship and enters the realm of artistry. We cannot imagine two more ethical, hardworking or dedicated people. Theirs is very much a family business and part of the pleasure of working with Don, Chris and Cindy has been the chance to interact with this wonderful family. From planning, the selection of magnificent woods, meticulous construction and custom installation, through continued follow up, coming to our home to make complimentary minor adjustments many years later, we cannot imagine more attention to detail, unfailing kindness and consideration. We recommend Boule Cabinetmakers enthusiastically and wholeheartedly.”

“Our 1930s center hall New England colonial was sorely in need of a new kitchen. We had lots of ideas, plenty of pictures and no experience in kitchen design. We are so glad we hired Maple Tree Cabinetmakers. Josh and his brother delivered more than we imagined, on time and within budget! We told Josh what we liked and disliked in our kitchen, he listened, really listened, and came up with a design that embodied and greatly improved on our vision. For example, Josh suggested a walnut counter top for the breakfast room hutch, reused the original bin pulls,hinges and glass front doors. The original hutch had six small drawers just under the counter. Josh made 3 wide, much more useful drawers, yet faced them so it looks like 6 small drawers still! Love it! We enclosed the stoop out side the back door, creating a mudroom. Josh built a bead board cubby, with walnut bench, and shelves above. A huge improvement for a family with a dog! Josh also suggested curved brackets at the end of the cabinet runs,; enclosing the refrigerator with panels that match the cabinetry; and he replaced the old built in ironing board with a shallow cupboard for keys, a walnut counter with USB ports for a charging station and two shelves below for old fashioned cook books.We could not be more pleased with our Maple Tree Cabinetmakers Custom Cabinets and would hire them again in a nano-second!”

“Lauren designed my beautiful kitchen, with attention to detail. We are extremely happy with the end result. Cabinets, countertop, she even helped me find the perfect contractor. I've recommended her to others!”

“From the moment I entered Design West, I knew I would be in good hands for my kitchen renovation project. I had looked into three other kitchen companies, but none could compare to Design West. To begin with, I was impressed with the way they were forthcoming with their designs. The other companies I explored would not relinquish any plans until a deposit was given. Design West listened to the ideas I had, came up with an initial design and then emailed the plans back and forth for about two weeks, making changes as needed, and did this work prior to any deposit being put down. A feeling of trust resulted. From the owner of Design West, Gerard, to the designer, Michelle, I always felt they were honest with me and had my best interest in mind. Gerard went beyond selling me quality cabinets by connecting me with an amazing contractor, Jamie Aluzzo. I worked most intensely with Michelle, the kitchen designer. She shared her expertise, offered advice, money saving ideas, and really listened to what I wanted. We exchanged emails on a daily basis, often more than once a day and sometimes on the weekends. Michelle never grew tired of my endless questions and different ideas and changes I thought of and responded with her own ideas and expertise. This exchange went on for months! Michelle made sure that everything was in place before ordering and came to my home to make one last measurement and discussion. Once the cabinets arrived, she was in constant contact with the builder and coordinated the installation. When the kitchen was complete, Michelle came over to see the final outcome and presented me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers! From start to finish, Michelle gave her personal touch and I felt we had developed a friendship. Michelle, Gerard, Jamie and each member of the installation crew really cared about my family and my kitchen. Working with Design West was an amazing experience. The quality was impeccable, the service was genuine, they worked within our budget and completed the project on time, as promised. My husband and I couldn’t be more pleased with our kitchen renovation. We give Design West and J. Aluzzo Builders our highest recommendation.”

“We expanded and remodeled our litchen. We used Heartwood for the kitchen design and cabinets. They were great. They made the planning and selections easy and the construction went fast and without any problems. Their crew was great and did an excellent job. Our kitchen turned out wonderful. We are very pleased and would highly recommend them.”
