Joinery & Cabinet Makers in Somerville, VA

“We had a 5-star experience with District Cabinetry (also known as District Custom Woodworks)! It started with the careful and thoughtful consideration of our needs and preferences in discussions with owner Benton Chrea. He asked great questions and listened carefully to our answers! He came up with a preliminary design that we modified with his help into its final form. We were so pleased in the planning stage for the initial project caused us to add 2 other projects for other rooms. In the end, he did a huge built-in for the study, another large one for the master bedroom, and transformed a very complicated master closet footprint into a design that maximized every bit of space available. He personally visited the house twice to ensure good measurements and to be sure that we all visualized the same end product. Benton will tell you that I have a lot of construction experience (as a developer and builder), and I quizzed him on technical details of the design that he was unused to from customers. Let us just say that we were at the same time discriminating and exacting and he had excellent answers to all of my concerns. The project was finished on time (actually, a little earlier than originally planned) and was finished exactly on budget. Frankly, in the beginning, I thought the proposed charges were kind of high, but we had seen some of his work and his showroom and had developed faith in him, his product and team. The final product is beautiful, met all our design and quality goals, and is clearly engineered and manufactured down to the millimeter. His installation team was fantastic! They spent the better part of 3 days installing and tweaking everything, making sure we understood how to take out the drawers (a little tricky, as they are fancy, really nice, European hardware), etc. The installers were friendly, careful, respectful of our home and were clearly focused on achieving a quality result and pleasing us. So, in the end, my concerns over price were entirely unfounded, because the time invested in creating the design, the quality of the actual product and the care and professionalism of the installers proved to me that my wife was right – we really should pick District Cabinetry for our project! We unhesitatingly endorse Benton and District Cabinetry! We love and use our 3 built-ins every day and appreciate their work (and our investment) every time we use it! We just finished building a pretty complex home and this vendor is at the top of our list in every respect. Our biggest regret in our new home is that we had to buy our kitchen from our builder, Toll Brothers. We would have much preferred to spend that budget at District Cabinetry to get a unique and custom kitchen adapted precisely to our tastes and needs, where our smaller projects tell us that they would have excelled! Please don’t think that I am a gushing kind of person. Neither of us are. We are simply that pleased! This is easily some of the best money we ever spent on any of our homes! If we can refer District Cabinetry to anyone, we will certainly do so. If we can use them again, we would not hesitate. In today’s world, getting what you paid for is a challenge. We got what we paid for in product and in service and could not be happier about it! PS I attach photos of the study built-in. It is hard to photograph the other ones, given their location.”

“Mike's attention to detail and precision is unmatched. He does beautiful work, and goes the extra mile to get everything just right. I highly recommend him for anyone needing cabinetry work.”

“I have worked with Mr. Payne on various projects while he had been with Mid South Building Supply. Eddie has always made sure I received competitive pricing for my jobs while keeping focus on service which my clients demand. There have been occasions where I had special orders which Eddie personally made sure I was taken care of so there would not be any issues. Thanks for all you done through the years Eddie!

“We replaced the kitchen cabinet and added a custom island. Justin did an excellent job - design, advise - cabinets, rollers, various door models, colors and stains, offering various solutions, very price conscious and we took advantage of discounts not available for model doors at major retailers like Lowe's and Home Depot. For any questions or clarifications, we received answers (by phone or email) within hours. He brought all the merchandize with his truck at no additional charge, opened all the boxes, reviewed everything - we had a minor issue which he handled ]to our satisfaction, in front of us, with the manufacturer. Kraftmaid products and accessories ordered thru him are of excellent quality, arrived on time and were extremely easy to install. Will hire him again without any hesitation.”

“The staff was very professional and helpful. They provided excellent quality cabinets that arrived in a timely manner. Definitely recommend this company!”

“We have been using Ark Woodworking for years for custom cabinetry, built-ins, banquettes, custom furniture, window seats, etc. Ben understands how to work with our designs to meet a client's budget within reason. He will proactively make suggestions on when to use a combination of stock parts and pieces, or laminated interiors and/or solid wood throughout. He and his install team are terrific. Our clients love their attention to detail, craftsmanship, and ability to meet deadlines. They have continued to meet or exceed our expectations and are one of our very favorite resources for custom work. Sandra Hambley, DecorAndYouDC”

“Our kitchen remodel didn't go without hiccups, as expected, but the way they were handled was easier than expected. It is one of the most intrusive,life altering things you can do to your home and I felt like it was a smooth process and not overly long. We received great response to any issues that arose - and we had some strange ones (paint didn't set on cabinetry, main water shut off did not "shut off", pipes froze first hard freeze). They addressed every issue, even after the last amount was paid. It turned out more beautiful, spacious and functional than I had visualized.”

“We hired Simpletreasures for our kitchen redo. We were skeptical about painting at first but a coworker used them and loved the outcome. Needless to say we hired Rebecca and had great communication with her. The kitchen cabinets turned out awesome. Quick turn around and she is reliable. Saved us thousands not purchasing new cabinets. Everyone who sees the kitchen now is amazed. Highly recommended, prices are great, finished project is great! Thanks Rebecca!”

“Cedar Forest Cabinetry is a true gem. Greg is a perfectionist who has exceptional attention to detail. His workmanship is unparalleled and his pricing is very reasonable. Greg can build anything that can be imagined - from custom kitchen cabinetry, to wall units and special millwork designs. Cedar Forest is an expert in this field who is able to meet deadlines and stay within agreed budget limitations. Easy to work with and a pleasure to recommend to my clients.”
