Description Of Work: We had decided to remodel our kitchen, which had both 60+ year old metal cabinets and ?-year old wooden cabinets faced with plywood. We replaced the flooring, the cabinets, the backsplash and countertops, sink, lighting the window above the sink and the back kitchen door. We had no kitchen designer, but relied upon Rob Casden, owner of Cabinet Pro, and his assistant Laura Castle, for design advice. While we were at it, we decided to have an upstairs hall bath renovated, too, and we also asked Cabinet Pro to replace the sink, faucet and countertop in the adjacent powder room. We purchased appliances separately, as well as the kitchen window and door and a new window and shower stall for the bathroom. However, Cabinet Pro's people also gave us referrals for suppliers as well as design advice on these items. Spending total above reflects funds paid directly to Cabinet Pro for the projects described above, but does not include costs for appliances, additional electric, plumbing and work on furnace and water heater.
Member Comments: While we live in a community known for its large homes and expansive kitchens, we had fairly modest expectations of our own remodel, something on the order of -- let's just get a kitchen that works! However, the ideas we got from Cabinet Pro went well beyond our utilitarian plans, and not by way of encouraging us to spend more but to consider things like the impact of wood grains and cabinet styles in the context of a 100-year-old house. Throughout, I was given as much advice about where we could save money on our kitchen and bath as on how to make them attractive. I had never expected to get the kind of sophisticated design concepts that Rob Casden offered for both the kitchen and bath. The end results are perfectly beautiful --and functional, of course! Bumps in the road: Although none of the following had to do directly with the project in question, it was affected by several things: Much of our wiring needed to be upgraded, old water pipes were blocked and leaked, a water heater died, and the furnace had to be replaced. Cabinet Pro's people either helped to resolve these issues or referred us to other tradespeople who in every case, were well-qualified, thorough and charged fair prices. In some cases, such as the plumbing, Cabinet Pro's people actually made some of these repairs themselves; in other cases, they worked around them so that the project wasn't seriously delayed. We would use this company again in a heartbeat. --- Pat in Glencoe |

Member Comments: Remodeling is never pleasant but this was a "problem free" experience. When I stopped at Cabinet Pro I was having a difficult time finding the color I wanted and the owner spent considerable time sorting through samples. Just as I was about to give up he found what I was looking for. His price was reasonable so I signed a contract and waited for the other shoe to drop so to speak. Instead I discovered that contractors can be true to their word. My cabinets came in within a week of the estimated date and I was able to schedule installation within the time frame I had wanted. But what really won my appreciation was the fact that the installer, both personable and professional, took extra care to put up plastic draping to contain the sawdust I was so worried about. He arrived on time each day until the job was complete and made it a point of vacuuming before he left for the evening. The kitchen continues to receive compliments. I hope to remodel the bathbroom next and will be calling them again. --- Debbie in Evanston |

Our kitchen cabinets are just beautiful. We would highly recommend CabinetPRO to anyone looking to remodel their kitchen. Linda was so helpful to us in choosing the style of door, the stain and the hardware. Bill did an outstanding job of installing the cabinet fronts, a true craftsman. --- Irma and Sheldon in Northbrook |

I am a pround owner of a fabulous kitchen! Thank you CabinetPRO for making it happen. The kitchen layout is more efficient; the cabinet, tiles, moldings and hardware complement each other. Peter and John were experienced, thorough and showed full knowledge of their trade. They listened to my concerns and explained in simple, lay terms, all aspects of the remodeling job. I will certainly endorse CabinetPRO to my relatives and friends for their remodeling projects. --- Catherine in Skokie |

Thanks CabinetPRO! We love everything about our new kitchen - the backsplash, lighting, granite, fixtures, cabinets and floor - all perfectly installed. Opening up the wall between the kitchen and family room was pure genius on your part! We will highly recommend you. --- Linda and Ken in Arlington Heights |
