John, Erin and I could not be more pleased with the result of our kitchen. From start to finish you and your team communicated, listened, adapted and executed our project to our desires. You have certainly met our expectations. We can't imagine how hard the past few months have been on you and your business as you navigated your industry's challenges secondary to COVID. You came highly recommended, and we continue to recommend you to others.
One of subcontractors that you recommended to us has reached out to us multiple times letting us know that her clients are mimicking many aspects of design schemes that you helped us incorporate. We felt as though you were present the entire way of the project and cared deeply about the quality. Sandy was a pleasure to work with, as well. She was attentive, professional and prompt with all communication. Thank you again, John, for transforming not just our kitchen, but also our house. Our kitchen has become the heart of our house and you helped us achieve it. Ryan and Erin

I had Mother Hubbard company come out and fix my kitchen after I hired an awful experience with another company. Stacy and John were fantastic and the project exceeded all my expectations in every way possible. Matt was incredible and I would use them again if I ever needed work again at my home.

John is very pleasant to work with, his experience in designing kitchens shows from the first moment you speak with him. The entire staff is friendly and easy to work with. What John put on paper is exactly how our kitchen looks, there were no shortcuts taken in the whole process. Our kitchen turned out great, we couldn't be happier. Below are a few before and after pictures.

Mother Hubbard's Custom Cabinetry designed a kitchen for us within our newly created open floor plan. Based on our needs we requested 2 appliance garages, a large countertop pantry cabinet, an integrated fridge and dishwasher, an island full of drawers--only drawers. The challenge of the project was to create an island that could support the open floor plan and was still functional and good looking.
They succeeded. MHCC also designed a trash cabinet, a spice drawer and 4 other drawers with dividers, a cabinet with roll out drawers, a cabinet tower for microwave and wall oven. We wanted painted cabinets and John at MHCC helped us find the 2 perfect paint colors. We are very pleased with the amount of work space we have, the size of the island, the flow from work station to work station, the color scheme and quality of our sold maple cabinetry. Talk to John at MHCC for your kitchen reno.

Critical: Professionalism, Responsiveness Went to get some pricing and information and greeted with errogance, felt like I was not the type of customer they wanted. Went to a local cabinet company that makes the cabinets themselves and got a TRUE custom experience from very humble people!
