John was great to work with when we needed a new bathroom vanity. It was a great experience designing it. John also allowed us to do our own installation since we are do it yourself type people. Would highly recommend this Cabinet Maker!

Working with John and his team was a smooth, efficient, and fantastic experience. His knowledge was vast regarding preserving the charm of an older home, while updating to provide modern features. Installation went smoothly, and he was always willing to work with us on some quick ideas. I would recommend the quality of his work and team to anyone.

We LOVE the bathroom cabinets! They are gorgeous and the craftsmanship is incredible! We also love the metal plaque; it is like having Rembrandt’s signature on a painting. 🙂 Thank you so much!

I wanted cabinets for my living room. I tried three other businesses before I found The Cabinet Maker. I am so glad the other ones didn’t come through. John is so nice and was so helpful. My cabinets turned out beautiful and was everything we wanted. The guys that put them in were so efficient, fast, neat and friendly. They arrived on time. We are so pleased with them. I am so happy with them and I’m glad we found John to do this. I would definitely recommend him. Thank you Cabinet Maker.

This client’s main goal was more storage. The kitchen had limited space and moving walls was not an option. Our design worked within the existing space with a creative solution. Designing toe kick drawers under the base cabinets allowed for seven drawers to be added in an otherwise area that would have been wasted space. We also designed a parking garage for the Roomba!
John Phillips, CR, owner of The Cabinet Maker LLC, adds that organization and functionality are key factors in making the most of smaller spaces. Keeping the space clean and organized keeps attention on the details of the home.
“John made the experience of updating my kitchen cabinets positive and successful!
He offered suggestions, guidance and recommendations, and was patient while I made decisions. He was very professional and a good communicator. He and his crew took precautions considering the coronavirus situation while working in my home It was an excellent experience! My kitchen looks great!”

Planning and Design
My kitchen remodel was a long time in the works. We bought our house in 2000 and immediately had to do some projects to protect the structure of the house so the more “fun” kitchen remodel went to the back burner. We were hoping to save some of the original cabinetry so over the years we talked to different contractors and cabinet makers. Everyone had good ideas, but it wasn’t until I met with John that I felt like we could make our vision happen. Now we have achieved our goal of preserving the original character of the kitchen while modernizing everything and making it a very charming and efficient place to prepare meals.
It was the collaboration with John that made it happen. The final product was a combination of our ideas and John’s design expertise and craftsmanship. Trade partners were recommended by John included, Milestone Plumbing, and Tamarack Renovations. Overall the project went smoothly. John is very particular in who he works with – he set high standards and the work performed lived up to them.
The cabinets that John constructed for us are beautiful and functional and complement the house style. John was attuned to the look we were trying for in the kitchen. For example, we worked together on keeping the big cast iron radiator under the sink – John built a cabinet that surrounds it while I found the register cover that he built in to it. Keeping some of the old created design challenges, but John was very adept at saving the existing and creating great modern solutions for the new.
We chose custom flush inset cabinetry which is a high-end cabinet to complement the existing cabinets. The cabinetry was not inexpensive, but I did comparison with other cabinet makers and semi-custom cabinet lines. I feel that I absolutely got my money’s worth and that John’s price was competitive with other contractors. The best decision I made on this project was choosing John, The Cabinet Maker. We are thrilled with our new (and old!) kitchen!
