“I have used Matt for many years for not only projects for my home, but for client projects as well. He always does an excellent job and I have always been happy with the finished product.”

“I recently collaborated with Nancy Martin of Impact Design group to get a new fireplace mantle fabricated for my client in the Charlotte area. She was not only professional but very easy to work with. The mantle was made and installed very quickly and the end result is just beautiful!”

“All we wanted to do was paint the exterior of our house. But our painting contractor uncovered some hail damage, which had caused significant water-related structural damage, which is why we hired a well-respected residential construction company in Omaha. Mike Whitham was the foreman who was given the responsibility of rebuilding our house. But Mike wasn't just any foreman. Mike was a hands-on hammer-swinging master carpenter who knew how to get the job done right. Mike, along with the crew he led, worked in our home five days a week for 5½ months! During that time Mike and his crew removed the stucco siding from our house, repaired the water-related structural damage, replaced the windows and doors, removed the old roof, and installed a new hail resistant roof, added new gutters, and finished it off with sandstone and cedar shingles! We invested over $500,000 in the finished project, and saw our house completely transformed into something gorgeous! Perhaps the best part for us was that during the 5½ months, Mike became more than a foreman; Mike became a friend. We trusted Mike so much we left him the keys to our house and went on a two-week vacation. Sadly, due to an amazing opportunity, Mike and his family relocated to Charlotte. We say sadly, because he started the project as a construction foreman and ended as a family friend. Our loss is Charlotte's gain. Therefore, if you're looking to hire a contractor who will show up on time every day until the job is finished, keep his word, and AMAZE you with the quality of his work, then hire Mike Whitham. —Michael & Lynn Clouse Bennington, Nebraska”

“My 27 year old master bath badly needed renovation. Two dividing walls needed to taken down and a Jacuzzi removed. Aloha Properties has done an outstanding job tiling my new shower, adding tile to the floor where the walls were removed and installing my new cabinets, which included re-plumbing for two sinks instead of one. Another room is being remodeled into a large walk-in closet. Travis put down wide-plank pine flooring, sanded and stained it in one day! I would strongly recommend this company!”

“I am a 57 year old male who, along with only my wife's assistance, has refaced my entire kitchen by using support services and materials provided by The Cabinet Joint, specifically working with the owner, Brian Long. Our project is almost complete, and I would like to express my views concerning Mr. Long and his company. 1) I am a typical DIYer with carpentry skills ranging from low to excellent, depending upon the specific task. My tools are mostly basic quality, but function as intended. Before becoming involved with the Cabinet Joint, my knowledge of cabinets and refacing was ZERO. I would not have been able to explain the difference between a raised panel and a shaker door, I did not know how to measure a door opening to determine the proper door size, I did not know what any of the following terms meant: door overlay, hinge boring distance, raised panel door, shaker door, returning molding on itself, etc. I had not the faintest idea how concealed hinges worked. I did not know how to properly install cabinet doors, drawer fronts, or end panels. 2) Our laminate counter top badly needed replacing. So we decided to purchase a quartz counter top to place on our exsisting 1991 builder grade cabinets. We soon realized, however, that putting quartz on our dated, honey oak cabinets would be a foolish investment. Since our budget would not allow full cabinet replacement in our medium size kitchen, I spent months researching refacing options. We decided to call one of the big boxes to get a refacing quote. I received 3 phone calls from the big box prior to our quote meeting, with the big box representative stating each time "please ensure that both of the financial decision makers in the family are present at the meeting", and then they asked for my wife's full name. Of course, this sent off alarm bells for me, so on the 3rd call, I asked to speak to the regional manager of this big box operation. Without identifying himself by name, he came on the phone and said "here's the deal...our refacing STARTS at $432 a linear foot, and that is with just basic veneer, not wood grained." My kitchen contains about 35 linear feet of base and wall cabinets, so a basic big box reface would have cost between $15,120 and $21,000 for VENEERED frames. 3) As a result of all of the above, I spent several more weeks looking for alternatives. By sheer luck, I stumbled onto the web site for The Cabinet Joint. I called them, and Brian Long answered. I discovered that they provide 1/4" thick actual wood (vs. veneer) to reface with, and they provide it in your choice of finish. I told Brian I would call him back, and dug deep into the website. I discovered a vast array of solid wood doors in every conceivable style and finish, along with exact match, real wood refacing materials. 4) But I also discovered something even more important. Since I was unsure if I could do this job myself, I began asking Brian Long about the entire refacing process. Without exaggeration, I asked him literally THOUSANDS of questions of the course of several months via both phone and email) before I even made a purchase. And guess what? He calmly and completely answered each and every one of my questions to the best of his ability. Try to find that kind of customer service elsewhere, especially if you have not committed to a purchase yet! This customer sevice is what sold me on the company. 5) I made a partial order in October 2015 for materials to reface a small section of cabinets. I considered this a "test section". Well, with my moderate skills, and the knowledge gained from The Cabinet Joint, the "test area" came out beautifully and far beyond my expectations. 6) I continued to purchase material, and continued to ask questions. 3 months later, while remodeling other rooms in addition to the kitchen, the cabinets are 95% complete. I will attach before (light oak) and after (Dark Bordeaux solid hard maple) pictures. Understand that in the pictures, the floor has not been refinished yet, the toe kicks have not been installed, and the backsplash has not yet been installed. Also understand that the pictures do not do this kitchen justice. I cannot imagine a better made door than the Conestoga Brand, and I have never experienced customer service the likes of which is provided by The Cabinet Joint. In fact, it is almost like they partner with you to help you complete your kitchen. That being said, however, for a refacing project, you are not hiring their labor, and they are not on the job with you. It is up to you, as the homeowner, to make the final and critical decisions concerning your project. When a company is not on-site and cannot view your project in person, the most that can be expected from them is to provide you with some possible suggestions. After all, you are not paying money for their extensive design work, nor their labor. However, for only around $5,700, I was able to give myself and my wife a kitchen to be proud of, and the lifetime inner glow of a job well done, with the much needed help of The Cabinet Joint. I cannot say enough positive things about Mr. Long and his Company. If you are willing to take ownership of your project, and if you are willing to ask questions and receive knowledgable answers, The Cabinet Joint is the way to go. This kitchen was done for about $5,700 in materials, not including the backsplash and quartz counter top. We will be forever proud of our accomplishment, and we have and always will strongly recommend The Cabinet Joint.”

“Wimar and his guys are some of the best in Charlotte. They are talented, hard working, and efficient. The level of detail in their work is way beyond that of any trim carpenters I've seen in years.”

“The project was quite unique. The result outstanding. It was delivered on a timely basis. The quality masterful. The team terrific. We were totally satisfied.”

“I renovated my condo last year, and was unable to find a general contractor who had time to handle it for me (relatively speaking, it wasn't that big a job), so ended up subbing it out myself. Milton was recommended to me for cabinet woodwork and painting, and I contracted with him for the following items: Upgrade existing kitchen and bath cabinets, rework the cabinets above the microhood, build in a shelf at the top of the kitchen cabinets, remodel the kitchen island, demo existing bathroom cabinet and replace it, and install the new kitchen appliances. His contract price for the work was $4,800, and his workmanship was very good. But what made it so good to work with him is that he was willing to schedule in and around as I was able to schedule with the electrician, plumber and countertop installation. I had already contracted with a painter, but when I had to do some sheetrock work after the fact, Milton did the sheetrock repair and painted it. Something else that I appreciated was how clean he left things every day when he left. Additionally, all of the work would have moved much more quickly if a GC could have scheduled some of his crew guys in and out back-to-back as needed. But, because everyone was very busy, I had to schedule them as I could get them in and around their other jobs, and it really stretched things out. I really appreciated Milton's patience in scheduling around the others for each step of his work. In our discussions, I know he was anticipating 3 or 4 trips to do the full job, but it ended up taking double that before it was all said and done, which I know cost him in unexpected time and labor, and although I offered to re-discuss the contract price, he stuck with the original quote for everything. Also, and outside of the initial contract, I wanted my bedroom furniture painted and asked him if he would do it. He took everything to his shop, where he could strip/sand off the finish, prime and spray paint it and he did a wonderful job, of that, too. All total, taking the furniture, painting it, and returning and setting it up was $2,000, and I love it! Lastly, I live in a 3rd floor walk-up in a center city neighborhood with tight parking. Everything had to be hauled up and down three flights of stairs, and NOT from a parking area right in front of the building. What I'm saying is that I appreciated the unfailingly cheerful attitude as much as I did the workmanship, and I would definitely use Milton again.”

“Bill was recommended to me for a guest house buildout my husband and I were in the process of and I am so glad for this referral! Bill is exceptional in every way: craftsmanship; attention to function, form and details; professionalism; reliability; customer service and just plain likeability! Bill can build anything and he did an excellent job with every part of our project from Sheetrock to beadboard to mouldings and trim work. He always maintains a clean workplace and is very respectful of your home. I would hire Bill again in a second should I have another project. He is a superb craftsman and a joy to work with!”
