Received a quote for our project. When I asked what the additional $50.00 delivery charge was for I promptly received a response stating that he was withdrawing the proposal. I called the owner (Gary) and he stated that he was not going to honor our proposal in that it was not a large enough project for them. Strange in the way he was happy to do the job when he was at our house and was sure they could handle it. Only after I question the add ons that he pulled his quote. Not a good way to conduct a business.

I have nothing but great things to say about this company. Their product is build to stand the test of time. We opened a new 20 unit hotel this past May which Cabinets by Robert did all our nightstands and custom wardrobes/desk areas. They helped us come up with a design that completed the look we were going for. Time frame from design to installation was only 3 weeks. We will certainly recommend and go to them again for future projects.

I had our countertop installed by them. They did a good job except for the seam by the sink wasn't even. I was told it would be okay. It wasn't long b4 water made the seam swell. I called and was told they will send someone to check it. No one ever got back with me. Called again and again no response. I had to dry the countertop at the seam and the swelling reduced some, then I sealed seam with super glue. Still uneven, not happy with the money I spent and the result. I recommend you not do business with this company. They took my money and never looked back. Bad business practice.
