Bespoke Kitchen Pantry Professionals in Clifton, 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.”

“I had book case/cabinet designed and built by Jed Dinger Company. The cabinet was built from solid wood and plywood arch that had faux finished to make it look like rust steel. The cabinet has thick glass shelves holding by steel cables. His work is an art piece that compliments the arch roof line. Jed is a designer and also cabinet builders so he understand how wood can be made. Above all he is a perfectionist so this says it all about his project!”

“We contracted Terry to build a cabinet/media area for us. He took our design and with very few modifications was able to produce our design. From initial visit to finish we were impressed with the time, effort and first class workmanship put into this. Every step was accounted for and our installed cabinet was finished on time and budget. We look forward to working with Terry again. Highly recommend Terry to all.”

“We love our new kitchen. Carefree Kitchens provided the highest quality cabinets. They have a great show room which gave my husband and me a lot of ideas. They were able to match the color we provided from a paint swatch to perfection. They were also very clever in providing us some extra features inside the cabinet that gave us ample storage space.”

“All I can say is there aren't enough stars to rate Kyle and his work. Kyle helped Landis Construction on a project that involved walnut built-ins and floating shelves. Kyle worked diligently with our designer to make a custom application come to life. Kyle has become one of our most trusted providers for custom cabinetry and built-ins. Thanks Kyle! Rich E.”

“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.”

“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”

“We just completed our second kitchen with Mark White of Kitchen Encounters. We did our first kitchen with him 16 years ago and loved our kitchen so much we gave him a call when it was time to build a new kitchen. Mark and his staff are responsive, thoughtful and creative. The toughest part of the project for us was tearing down our beloved kitchen that he designed so long ago but the pain was eased by our new wonderful, show stopping kitchen. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark and his staff for your kitchen regardless of the scope of worked needed... from tight budgets to over the top gourmet... Mark can spin his gold!

“Zen Cabinetry is an outstanding organization that delivered on their promise to provide us with both a quality kitchen and bathroom make over. The remodeling crew was efficient, courteous and highly skilled. Frank Wang, the overall project manager paid close attention to every detail and was flexible as needed. Would highly recommend them.

“We have used to build a number of pieces in our home. We started with kitchen cabinetry and wall case for books and dining ware. We moved on to a TV stand that raises for watching and hides it out of sight when it is not being used. We also had Jay build a bookcase that fit into an unusual spot. All of our pieces were built by a craftsman - that is crystal clear. Jay is meticulous, transparent, and fair. He works very hard to make sure he understands your expectations and adjusts as necessary. His pricing is fair and everything is very open. For our first piece (and the first time we used Jay) he hunted for another wood supplier because he felt like the price was too high for us. It was, and we appreciated the extra effort. When COVID hit and Jay had to delay our last request, he was very responsive, letting us know each step of the way where things stood. We will use him for our future needs. He is just an exceptional craftsman and person.”
