Vermont Custom Cabinetry

Wow. I can not believe that Vermont Custom Cabinetry has no reviews. We purchased a fairly modest home this summer, with the explicit plan to turn the old constricted kitchen and a lovely dining room into one expansive space. Even before closing, we began researching cabinets. Our philosophy is based on, you spend the money on the things that you never want to replace. This includes cabinets, floors, and even countertops. Faucets, hanging lights, etc are easy to change later and get less of the budget. It became clear quickly that the dimensions of the room demanded custom cabinetry if we wanted to utilize every square inch. In this market, with these prices, every square inch matters. We began our research on sites such as Houzz. A number of places kept coming up along with some other places that were more local. We visited five cabinet makers. Vermont Custom Cabinetry hit the sweet spot. Well built, I mean really well built, coupled with the perfect finish [painted cabinets.] And they were so nice! We worked with Jessica to build our perfect kitchen. After we showed her our workflow plan, she enhanced what we wanted, and designed exactly what worked for us. Another bonus-- you can select any color from the Benjamin Moore paint deck with no upcharge. We included every feature that we wanted-- the recycling/garbage center, four drawers per cabinet, tray dividers, glass windows on the one upper cabinet, pull out pantry and full height pantries, and adjustable, pull out shelves -- and still came in right on budget. The cabinets were ready earlier than scheduled, and our contractor was running behind. Vermont Custom Cabinetry held our cabinets until our contractor said "deliver now." And they did.... the same week that we called. The delivery vehicle is owned by the company, and the driver/deliverer is a wonderful man who also builds the cabinets that he is delivering. Because the deliver their own cabinets, you do pay sales tax in your state [but you probably should anyhow.] The delivery packet included proper plans and instructions on how your contractor should install. The packet was very helpful, but two copies would have been more convenient. We had to find a copy shop in order to keep the original and give the contractor the second copy. I have learned that most of Vermont Custom Cabinetry's work is for really high-end homes, many of them on Long Island. These jobs are a factor of ten more expensive than our project. I never would have known this. Jessica treated our job as though it was the most important one on her desk. Her attention [and I presume that of the cabinet maker's] to the details was extraordinary. The delivered cabinets are amazing! They are everything that we saw in their showroom in Keene. We can't be more pleased with the quality of the work, and the entire experience. We have ordered three more pieces to be delivered in March, and we fully expect to be just as thrilled then. [Will post some better pictures when installation is complete. For now, pictures are only 1/2 day of progress.]
