Denny's Woodcraft,INC

We hired Denny's Woodcraft to re-face and paint the cabinets in our bathroom, and custom build a closet door and columns for our house. I ended up finding a picture online, that I absolutely loved, and he was able to custom build a separate cabinet and frame two mirrors in our bathroom as well. We were so happy with the job that they did, that we also hired them to refinish a piano of ours. They are true professionals, who do their job with the utmost integrity.

The absolute best experience with Denny and Betty! Their ideas and designs are modern and they're extremely knowledgeable. We've had the pleasure of working with them on two projects!

We moved to Bedford, Indiana and bought a home here. We designed an extensive remodel that included adding a master suite and laundry and converting a large screened-in porch into a four-season sun room and kitchen addition. We had Denny help us design and then make and install all the cabinets for the project, plus three new bookcases. The work was done on time and matched the existing cabinets and bookcases perfectly. A few minor adjustments were needed after the installation and Denny's Woodcraft crew quickly addressed them. We also had the company repair a large number of scratches and flaws in existing furniture and cabinets that had occurred over the years and through the move from Illinois. Everyone at Denny's was helpful, friendly and professional and working with them throughout the project was a great experience. We would highly recommend them for any woodworking project.

Couldn't be happier with all our custom cabinetry! From bathrooms to built-ins and everything I between Denny and his family were there to help. They were always on time and professional and best of all they came in under budget! They helped with design and layout and went with is to pick out granite. We will use them again and again. Next up up a bar and some more built ins. If you would like to see their work email me for pics and more info Nathanrainbolt@gmail.com Nathan and laura

First of all this is a family run business and they were very professional and pleasant to work with. However, there were some problems with the project that I was not happy with. We got a few quotes on getting our cabinets refinished. These guys were middle of the road on price, but they were actually stripping the cabinets down to bare wood then re-staining and finishing. The other guys were going to reface or just go over top of existing which isn't what we wanted. They also were able to build a few new cabinet units. One to replace an ugly cabinet above the microwave and one to go above the sink. Both of these were bump up and outs which gave it a more current look. They also replaced an old kitchen desk with two drawer/cabinet combo units on each side of a built in refrigerator. We were very happy with the units they built. They also were able to give us all new doors for only $400 dollars more. We have about 30 doors and 20 drawer fronts so this was a great deal. The doors were also solid oak, but better quality than the ones we had. The problems we had were with the stain color. We wanted to match our dining room table. They had brought over a small number of sample swatches for us to choose from. I was out of town and my wife chose a stain on cherry wood. Our cabinets are red oak. She wasn't sure about the color. It was just the closest one they had. We had been told that we would get a sample door to look at before staining everything. This was not the case. I called Denny a couple of days before the job asking about the sample door, and he seemed like this was a surprise and he offered to come out the next day. He did so and the color wasn't even close to the dining room table. He took one of our chairs with him so he could match the stain. What I found out was that he had already stained all of the doors and drawer fronts with the wrong color and to fix the problem he went over top with a "toner" to darken the color. This was exactly what I was trying to avoid with working with them. I didn't want to go over top. I wanted to put the stain color on the bare wood so the grain showed through true. This toner didn't soak into the wood so it hid the grain a little more with every coat. The grain is still visible, but muted greatly. This also made the job much more complicated as well because where a stain goes on even the toner had to be applied perfectly even or it created darker and lighter spots. Some doors were darker than others and there were obvious uneven areas on the cabinets, doors, and drawer fronts. Wood naturally is uneven, but this wasn't due to the wood as the toner never touched the wood. It went over the existing stain and lacquer that had already been applied. They did the best job they could to even things out, but it is slightly noticeable. Also, since the toner is just sitting on top and not soaked into the wood, if the coating is nicked it leaves a very noticeable light spot. This happened on one of our doors. I had to touch it up with a dark marker. The staining wasn't done the right way. Denny admitted his mistake and worked hard to make us happy. Overall, I think our kitchen looks good, but I am concerned about how it will hold up in the future. We weren't totally satisfied with the job, but the only way to make it right would be to strip everything down to bare wood again and redo. This would basically be like doing the whole job twice and wasn't really an option. I might work with them again if the opportunity arose. I would just want to make sure that we got the color right before any staining was done. That way it would assure an even coat and I wouldn't have concerns about its durability in the future. If it hadn't been for the staining issue we would probably have been very happy and given them 5 stars.
