Travis was extremely pleasant to work with as we made all of our cabinet selections for our new build. He was patient, kind, outgoing, and offered wonderful suggestions. We are so thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with him and look forward to partnering with him moving forward.

I just had my new cabinets installed today. They did a wonderful job, they were professional and were able to answer my questions. From selecting the cabinets to the installation, I would highly recommend Chesapeake Bay Cabinets.

We priced with two companies and Chesapeake came in well below our other quote. The designer was very helpful and gave us ideas we had not thought of. The installation was weeks after the planned date. We were not pressed for time so we could live with it. Our house is over 100 yrs old so the installation was a challenge for the crew. The crew was great! They solved problems and did little extra things I asked for.
They even found space for us to have a great spice rack roll our cabinet. The punch list took almost two months to wrap up. However the crew that showed up to do the work was amazing, creative and did little extras. So although the process was not flawless I would use them again and recommend them. The designer was helpful and the installers are very talented. The end results look fantastic.

The people there were excellent and extremely helpful. We took a drawer that was supplied approximately 20 years ago to them to see what they could do and they told us they could repair it and have it in good shape. Had a great discussion about how to do some other things on the cabinetry. Extremely knowledgeable personnel.

I've really enjoyed working with everyone at CBC over the years. I've done several different projects and always end up with a fantastic finished product. Looking forward to my next renovation so I can see what cool features they might be able to add to my project.
