Cabinet Makers in Fredericksburg, VA

“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 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.”

“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.”

“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”

“I live in an home build in 1920. I wanted bookshelves built on both sides of the fireplace in the livingroom. The kicker was that these had to match the original mantle, and be made with materials that would have been around in 1920. I did not want "modern" bookshelves in a 1920's formal livingroom. Every detail I asked for was taken care of. It took some time, but the outcome of my bookshelves was beautiful!”

“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.”

“Alon is great, we have used him for two projects in our home so far. He created custom built-ins for our living room, and he completely renovated our basement laundry and bathroom. •He is very detail-oriented and meticulous: After doing the initial consult and taking measurements, he came back with a computer mock-up of how things would look (just like the home reno shows on tv!). He spent a week or two just doing additional measurements and gathering materials, so that when he did start work on our home, everything was ready; we weren't waiting around for additional materials to come in. •He is flexible: After showing us designs for the custom built-ins and laundry room, we gave him feedback on what things we wanted to change, and he adopted them. I went so far as to sketch out a picture of the shelves and fireplace posts we wanted, and he crafted them from scratch. I asked that he redo a wall at a diagonal angle, and he found a way to make it happen. •He communicates very well: It is reassuring to hire someone that knows his materials and equipment so well. He talked to us every morning about how the project was going, down to the tiniest screw. •He is a perfectionist: He takes pride in his work, every job is special for him. He ripped up and redid tiles for us, because it wasn't perfectly straight and level. He made our shelves of a slightly thicker material so they wouldn't bow over time. •He is present: Unlike other companies, he isn't managing different teams; he only takes one project at a time, and does most of the important work himself. If you have any concerns, you just talk to him. •He is trustworthy: we gave him our house key to lock after he was done in the afternoons. •And he is honest: The estimate he gave at the start of both our projects was the final cost; he didn't add a cent. We have recommended him to all of our friends, and we will use him in the future!”

“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”

“Excellent designers with a great selection. I have done several projects with them and although they aren't always the cheapest contractors, they have great material, excellent installers, and excellent customer service!”

“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.”
