Cabinet Makers in Elkwood, 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.”

“Excellent experience, quality, and product. Lisa Franklin is professional and knowledgeable about her craft. She gave us many ideas that we were happy to incorporate into our design. I would recommend this company, particularly Lisa Franklin.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I have worked with Amy Hart at ACC on hundreds of home renovations and new construction cabinetry installs over the past 10 years. She is simply the best there is. If you let her handle your kitchen and or bathe remodel you will not be disappointed! She is easy to talk to and will guide you through your design and choices masterfully.”

“Dan, Charlie and the guys did a great job. They repainted my old kitchen cabinets and built me a few more to match. The process was painless and the results were perfect. The entire kitchen worked out perfectly. I would highly recommend this outfit!”

“Tom Le's crew did an excellent job on replacing the siding on the front of our house. Th job was done quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend Le & Company”

“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”

“Nothing but praise for Worthington Architectural Millwork for the design, the craftsmanship, the flexibility, and the bottom line. Alycia Worthington (co-owner) is creative, artistic, and understanding as a designer and project manager, but most importantly, a true professional - an endlessly patient listener when I sometimes waffled around decisions. She presented ideas that clearly illustrated how well she had heard my desires, and still managed to challenge me to think outside the box, to my great benefit and all within budget. Jason Worthington (co-owner) is clearly passionate about his work, with many years of museum quality cabinet-making experience, and impeccably handcrafted the special pieces of wood that transformed my kitchen and my home, leaving no detail unfinished, down to the Shaker walnut pegs. George Creswell brought his building expertise to the project with the movement of walls, doors and windows, all done precisely. Many times I watched them all work in my house and the desire for perfection was evident, the result just gorgeous. If you get a chance to visit their shop, it's amazing - large, clean, inspiring, full of beautiful work - and if you hire them, you will be very happy with the result.”
