Demiurge

Working with Vadzim was the highlight of our recent renovation. He was able to come up with precise drawings from a rough sketch of what were were interested in creating for a bar area in our living room and for custom cabinetry in our family room. He asked several questions/brought up important elements to be sure the cabinetry met our needs and yet looked attractive. His attention to detail and exacting standards in both the drawings and the execution of his work were incredible. The cabinetry is functional and beautiful. He was on time and within budget as well. I cannot recommend him more highly!

Demiurge should be your next custom cabinet maker - Vadzim does absolutely incredible work and I could not be more happy that we chose him for our project. I first met Vadzim after being introduced by our contractor that was managing our whole-home remodel - he had worked with Vadzim on several prior projects and my contractor knowing my high standards made clear, "this is your guy". We had a fairly extensive list of cabinetry that needed to be made including our kitchen, a wine cellar, a pantry, a wet bar, a home office, a laundry room, and several blind door inset wall cabinets. We knew this would be a challenging job since the house we were remodeling was originally built in 1890 and despite having been through remodels over the decades it still had uneven walls, floors and casement work typical of a house of this age. We bid our project out to several cabinet makers and Vadzim's bid was by far the most detailed / considerate, fairly priced, and after visiting his shop onsite to see some of his work in progress he won our business. Vadzim considers every detail and take care in thinking through form, function, and longevity of his work - it is built to last. Vadzim’s knowledge of materials is impressive and he knew exactly where to everything we wanted to use in our cabinets (custom trash bins, soft close hinges, spice rack inserts, knife drawer inserts, etc as well as a very specific metal mesh insert for our wine cellar cabinet door panels. The machinery in his shop is impressive, with large cutting machines imported from Europe, where Vadzim was trained. Probably the single most important aspect of working with Vadzim was his amazing shop drawings, most of which had 3D renderings as well as a animated digital files showing movement for some of our more complicated design areas. We had the opportunity to see things we would have likely missed that allowed us to make changes to the design BEFORE anything was built. Also in several cases Vadzim had great insights that we had missed that elevated the ultimate design. Upon urging from our contractor, we chose to use Vadzim's team to do our install, and this was a huge positive. His team's attention to detail was amazing and their precision was what helped make the end result perfect – do not hesitate to use them. In the end I could not be more happy with Vadzim’s work and I am so grateful that we had the chance to work with him on our project. Vadzim takes pride in his work and I am happy to endorse Demiurge without question – I would work with him again in a heartbeat and we’ve already recommended Vadzim to several friends that are also considering or starting various remodel projects. We are still trying to get “moved back in” to our house and still have boxes etc to put away but I hope to update this review with some photos of Vadzim’s work soon.

Vazdim's work is absolutely top quality. We've used Vadzim for custom kitchen cabinetry in our former apartment as well as a Murphy bed with built -ins, and they were truly perfect quality--beyond our expectations! We were fortunate enough to use Vadzim again in our second home renovation, where he built custom cabinets for our full kitchen including a custom bar set up, a custom living room set up with space for records and a record player, and another Murphy bed set up in our office. He ensures the quality of absolutely everything he does--he comes by constantly to ensure installation is perfect, and the colors look exactly as planned. When we had a small scratch, Vadzim came over and fixed it within a day. Truly an exceptional talent, and highly recommend him for any custom work!

Vadzim is an extremely talented craftsman with meticulous attention to detail and quality. He and his team are absolute professionals and completely reliable. Excellence across the board. We initially hired him to do all of the cabinetry in our new home (kitchen cabinets, pantry, floating vanities, custom closets). One and a half years in our new home we wanted some customized pieces and knew exactly where to go. Our floating shelves are solid and have absolute precision, and our new built-in standing desk is better than I could have imagined. Reliable, talented, and wonderful to work through during the entire process from design to installation.

Working with Vadzim has been wonderful to work with for the past 3 years. His attention to shop drawings, details and utilization for small spaces is remarkable. His background in aircraft and yacht cabinet building allows for maximized use of space and if very efficient with tight spaces. I've had him work directly with my clients as he always maintains a team approach and helps them with their vision. I highly recommend this company. Noelle Nixon, Artistic Designs for Living

Demiurg did a great job of designing our kitchen and then building it. He was very patient to all our concerns and questions, and addressed them all. He recommended several layouts and we agreed on one of them after several discussions. He considered all our requirements for appliances and built them in perfectly. In short, amazing work. Now a have a kitchen designer in my pocket and will use them every time I need anything for a kitchen.

Vadzim was the perfect cabinetmaker. He made cabinets throughout our entire home -- new kitchen with new island, family room, living room, media room, custom children's hallway, bathroom vanity, custom mantle, laundry room, and kitchen table. He was also responsible for the finishing touches, such as the handrails on the stairs and the crown molding. He was very responsive and turned around requests quickly. He was thoughtful - in many cases more thoughtful than we were. He really helped us think through the uses of the cabinetry and made excellent suggestions for improvement that integrated the design of our whole home. For example he asked us to make the countertops thicker to ensure outlet plug strips were hidden. His designs were perfect and thoughtful, down to the fraction of an inch. He also crafted a custom table for us when we couldn't find a white oval table in the right dimensions. Even with all of this excellent attention to detail and responsiveness, he was considerate of our budget. For example we were able to re-use some old kitchen drawers with new faces, and he sent us a high-end and low-end set of hardware to choose from for a very large door. Vadzim takes great pride in his work and is truly an artist with an appreciation for functionality. The cabinetry is all beautiful and works perfectly - all of it. We will absolutely use him again for every custom cabinetry need we have in the future.
