Wauwatosa Kitchen Remodel

We did a full kitchen remodel with John during the summer of 2021 and I would enthusiastically recommend his team and service to anyone. In our experience, John was exceptionally organized, responsive, detailed, and thoughtful. Every part of the process was well documented and discussed. We wanted to make some fairly significant changes to our kitchen layout including expanding an opening, incorporating new space in to the kitchen, and changing a window. While we understood practically what we wanted, John brought his experience of function and design to make a space that worked the best it could and was esthetically beautiful. Because we were working with a custom cabinet maker, we were able to create solutions that we really wanted like dual appliance garages to hide our frequently used small appliances. Our timeline was flexible, so we did wait a few weeks to get started on the demolition, but that ended up being a blessing. John was able to order and build our pieces while we waited to start work at home. It was exciting to get an occasional email update with photos of the work in progress. The timeline provided was detailed with reasonable amounts of buffer for issues or overlap. Through the course of the project we stayed pretty darn close to that outline, sometimes a bit faster sometimes a day or two slower. John did a great job managing expectations for costs and timeline. By in large everything ran rather smoothly. The few things that were a bit difficult (like appliance delivery during a pandemic) were far outside his control. We had John run our entire project for us including selecting all the service providers. John’s high standards and expectations are reflected in the quality of individuals he partnered with as well. We were working from home during the whole process and every person in was professional and the quality of work impressive. We love everything about our new kitchen. It is beyond what we had imagined.

Testimonial – Outstanding Business

I wanted cabinets for my living room. I tried three other businesses before I found The Cabinet Maker. I am so glad the other ones didn’t come through. John is so nice and was so helpful. My cabinets turned out beautiful and was everything we wanted. The guys that put them in were so efficient, fast, neat and friendly. They arrived on time. We are so pleased with them. I am so happy with them and I’m glad we found John to do this. I would definitely recommend him. Thank you Cabinet Maker.

Storage Challenge

This client’s main goal was more storage. The kitchen had limited space and moving walls was not an option. Our design worked within the existing space with a creative solution. Designing toe kick drawers under the base cabinets allowed for seven drawers to be added in an otherwise area that would have been wasted space. We also designed a parking garage for the Roomba!

The Radiator Stays

Removing the radiator in this project was not an option

Planning and Design
My kitchen remodel was a long time in the works. We bought our house in 2000 and immediately had to do some projects to protect the structure of the house so the more “fun” kitchen remodel went to the back burner. We were hoping to save some of the original cabinetry so over the years we talked to different contractors and cabinet makers. Everyone had good ideas, but it wasn’t until I met with John that I felt like we could make our vision happen. Now we have achieved our goal of preserving the original character of the kitchen while modernizing everything and making it a very charming and efficient place to prepare meals.

It was the collaboration with John that made it happen. The final product was a combination of our ideas and John’s design expertise and craftsmanship.  Trade partners were recommended by John included, Milestone Plumbing, and Tamarack Renovations. Overall the project went smoothly. John is very particular in who he works with – he set high standards and the work performed lived up to them. 

The cabinets that John constructed for us are beautiful and functional and complement the house style. John was attuned to the look we were trying for in the kitchen. For example, we worked together on keeping the big cast iron radiator under the sink – John built a cabinet that surrounds it while I found the register cover that he built in to it. Keeping some of the old created design challenges, but John was very adept at saving the existing and creating great modern solutions for the new.

Kitchen remodel matching new with old

We chose custom flush inset cabinetry which is a high-end cabinet to complement the existing cabinets. The cabinetry was not inexpensive, but I did comparison with other cabinet makers and semi-custom cabinet lines. I feel that I absolutely got my money’s worth and that John’s price was competitive with other contractors. The best decision I made on this project was choosing John, The Cabinet Maker. We are thrilled with our new (and old!) kitchen!
