Direct Cabinets and More

I took 6 months, reviewed 5 of the most reputable kitchen remodelers I could find, in Ft Myers and the Cape, and ultimately settled on Direct Cabinets. Owners Bill & Shahn were intimately involved in my quote. I had a partially formed vision of my new kitchen, with focus on removing walls and opening up my 51 year old kitchen/living room area, but never quite had it all. As a result, we started w cabinet selection, and wall demo, and left flooring, backsplash, countertop, hardware for later. Once the cabinets arrived, all were beautifully constructed of solid wood with dovetailed drawer construction and custom features throughout. The self closing doors and drawers work flawlessly. There were no blemishes on the cabinet surfaces. Interior shelving were all on smooth glide soft-closers, with meticulous, solid feels everywhere. I had shopped earnestly for flooring, counters etc. James in the office sent me home w several floor samples. Bill handled negotiations and most design, and personally accompanied me to multiple granite providers, looking for a specific theme. Shahn is not just in charge of installation, he is a fully licensed General Contractor, offering custom carpentry as well as serving as my field supervisor. No surprises, no overruns, and nothing but superior attitude from every one of the workmen sent to me. The tile mason retiled sections of my floor with such a perfect match to my original, nobody has yet guessed where the new tiles are. The paint guys had near perfect registration of colors. These guys are a first class operation! Btw, prior to retirement I held a Class A General Contractor license myself in Virginia. There were 2 very minor issues w shelving not correct from the cabinet manufacturer. Shahn had his mechanic at my house the same day I called. Working with a competent owner/operator is the best way to go for me.
