Kent was incredible! The cherry cabinets he created for our home blew me away! He crafts the cabinets himself rather than buying premade ones, he does all installation and staining, and he does it in half the time of anyone else! (Did I mention at about 30% less than our other lowest quote?). We are beyond delighted and would 100% recommend him to others looking to do a reface. We will definitely be hiring him again!

I was dreading this project and concerned that it would look 2nd class. Kent Tullis did an amazing job. The cabinets look original. His actual time on site was less than a week. He used our garage for his work room, which was fine with us. He was pleasant and very professional. We got several bids. His was on the lower end. We could not have been more pleased.

Kent did an amazing transformation of our bad 80s cabinets to beautiful updated cherry cabinets without breaking our bank. A true craftsman who I would hire again in a minute. He worked with us to help choose the stain color of our choice. He reconfigured and rebuilt 3 sets of lower cabinets and turned them into drawers banks, added raised panels to the sides of peninsula for an high end look, added crown molding, all new drawer boxes, all new cherry cabinet door/drawer fronts, etc... Any obstacle was easily overcome. I couldn’t be happier with the job he did. Recommend getting on his calendar today.

Just hire this guy. Period. End of story. I had six other companies come to my house for bids on this job. Kent was the most professional, the most thorough, the most responsive, and the least expensive. He was the only one who bid the actual job, unlike the others who bid what they thought we should be able to pay by the looks of your house. Kent's bid came in at less than 1/2 of what the others estimated, which is what seemed fair to me. He is easy to work with and a true craftsman. You know how, when you're doing a project and things just rarely ever go without a hitch? Well, Kent is such an expert and you can tell he has seen everything that he just knows what to do in those "oh oooohhhh" moments. I cannot recommend him more highly. My sister just hired him to do her kitchen, too. Seriously...JUST HIRE HIM!

Keith is the ultimate craftsman businessman. Has a helpful website; quickly responds; provides a straight-forward estimate and helpful suggestions; arrives when he says he will; finishes work when he says he will; and does extremely good work. Highly recommend!

Very well. Kent really improved the appearance of our house, especially the kitchen. Well worth the money. The hardest part is waiting to see the final results. Kent came to our house with finish samples and door design drawings. We decided what we wanted and he drew up a plan and gave us a quote. When it was time to do the work, he was on time, kept the impact on our home to a minimum and took time to really clean up when he was done. He was very easy to work with and professional in every way. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to improve the look of their kitchen or other cabinets.

It all went according to our plan. Kent was very reliable and talented. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for cabinets making or refacing. A quality craftsman and a man of his word.
Description of work:
We wanted an update to our kitchen. We totally remodeled one wall taking out a kitchen desk and large wall stove that were dated. We then had the other cabinets refaced in cherry wood cabinets. Kent did an amazing job. We even put in beveled glass in the new wall cabinetry. It looks amazing.

The cabinets look spectacular. I had a variety of colors to choose from and Kent walked me through some additional options that I asked for. He was super fair, honest and did a wonderful job. At the end, he didn't just walk away either. I had a hinge on a cabinet that I need him to look at and he came out the very next day. More than that....I had my granite installed and had a challenge when I bought a sink that we too large for my special "tippy" drawers next to the sink. He came back out and fixed that - when it really was a sink issue. He has been wonderful!
Description of work:
I hadn't upgraded my house in 17 years! I had great cabinet boxes in my kitchen with a very old '90's look to them. So I called Kent. He immediately directed me to his website to get an idea of price and I was thrilled. He was very reasonable and the price never changed from what was quoted on the site! I got to see pictures of his work and it looked great. I ended up having all of the cabinets in my house refaced.

Kent does beautiful work. He is always on time, and completes the work on time. I love my 2 new bathroom cabinets.
Description of work:
Kent re-faced my kitchen cabinets last fall, and my bathroom cabinets last week.

We got quotes from several other cabinet refacers including a well regarded local guy and the Home Depot. Both quoted prices approximately 30-40% higher than what Kent did. For us, it wasn't about getting the cheapest guy around, but getting the best value for our money and Kent really came through. First and most importantly, we found his customer service is second to none. He is easy to reach by phone, responds promptly to messages, shows up when he says he will and follows through on everything he promises. He went out of his way to accommodate our schedule, coming by several times on Sundays all the way from Elizabeth, to show us custom samples he made and take measurements. We had no qualms about giving him the keys so he could come and go while we weren't home. In today's world where subcontracting and outsourcing dominate the construction industry, Kent really stands apart. First off, he is the sole owner/operator and works alone, so he is the only person you will deal with. Second, for many people doing cabinet work, the manufacturing of the doors and drawers is outsourced to a large manufacturing plant that mass produces and ships them to the contractor. Kent actually hand-makes all of the doors and drawer fronts in his own shop which none of the other refacers we looked into do. Another great think about Kent was he was willing to do some custom touches that the other guys were hesitant to take on. He seamlessly blended the new kick panels with our existing base boards and trim, and cut off some faux decorative legs and moldings on the existing cabinets we didn't like. He also custom build an end-cabinet to store books and decorative items. In the end, the project took exact a week as he said it would and was as painless as possible. Working with Kent was a great experience and the craftsmanship turned out nothing short of beautiful. We love the new look of our kitchen and we can't recommend High Country Refacing highly enough!

When we were looking to sell our house, I found Kent here on Angie's List. The quality of his work was superior bar none. He is always on time and keeps to all committed time frames. It was amazing how he could take my idea for what I needed done to change the cabinets from dated 80s to looking far better than I imagined. Most everyone thought the cabinets were brand new and had just been installed.

Kent did a great job in renovating the look of our kitchen: He changed the doors of all cabinets and the face of the drawers in the kitchen and all the bathrooms of the house. He also added some cabinets in the living room and some glassed doors in the dining room. We had picked a cherry wood for the job and the final look is beautiful. He was very punctual and professional in his work, even starting the project on a Sunday. The whole thing took 6 days, we were able to use the kitchen on and off during that time. I would definitely call Kent again for any cabinet work.

The previous owner of my house painted the kitchen cabinets and doors a green and cream combination. The doors were oak and so they lost all hints of wood grain and everything shows brush strokes throughout. I have a huge slab of granite so could not find anyone who would replace the cabinets for fear of breaking and being responsible for the granite. So my only two options were to re-paint and apply a glaze with new doors or re-face the existing cabinets and get new doors. I did a lot of research on re-facing vs. painting/staining and out of six different contractors/companies who supplied quotes, Kent from High Country Refacing offered the best solution at the best price. Many re-facing places use a sticky laminate which can peel or bubble over time. Kent uses ¾” real wood for all the doors and drawer fronts and uses ¼” real wood for the cabinet fronts and trim. He cuts, sands and stains all this himself. Kent is a true craftsman at what he does and his work is immaculate. He offered suggestions on style and color as well as wood choice. He was always on time and very polite and respectful. He finished the project early as he said it would be about five days and it ended up only taking about three days. I was able to use the kitchen the entire time he was working so the project didn’t put me out in any way. The end result surpassed my expectations and the re-faced cabinets are beautiful. The coloring and type of wood he suggested worked extremely well with my existing granite and tile (alder wood with cherry stain). In addition, his work is guaranteed for life. He said if I had any issues at all, I only had to call. I highly recommend Kent at High Country Refacing. You will not be disappointed in the quality of the work or the value for the price.

Kent was a pleasure to work with from the start to the finish! He gave us a bid for the job on the first visit and performed the job on the exact date he promised. Kent works alone and custom makes all his products. We have a custom home with very difficult angles plus a sub zero refrigerator that he also refaced. He also added soft close hinges at no additional cost, which was such a nice surprise. I believe it was a difficult job, but all was done to perfection. I would recommend Kent and High Country Refacing to anyone.

First, Kent is a true craftsman and very gifted at his craft. He took my old and tired 80s kitchen with the not-so-lovely oak cabinetry and turned it into a truely awesome kitchen that I no longer hate...I love it!! He removed all the ugly cabinet doors and rebuilt new ones in a beautiful Shaker style in cherry wood, even added some with antique glass for the upper corners. He refaced all the wood everywhere. He added chunkier crown molding, rebuilt some decorative shelving and added beadboard behind the shelving for a little extra zing. He tore out a wine rack that I hated and built a custom cubby to hold my microwave so it's no long on top of the counter. He pulled out a horrible trash compactor and built a drawer for my trash can and recycle bin but the look like a tall cabinet from the outside. He took some small drawers and made front facades to give them the illusion they were large drawers so they matched the style better. He also added soft-close to all my cabinet doors so no more slamming! I was able to pick the exact stain color I wanted and the glass pattern. He does all the building himself and it is gorgeous! No store-bought stuff, it is all custom-made. Kent was awesome to work with. He is never late, he is there when he says he will be and he's ready to work - no messing around. He makes the most of every minute and works so hard. He is very creative and is great at problem-solving with those little weird things that are unique to each kitchen. He is polite, quiet and extremely professional. He is very much a perfectionist at his craft. I would hire and recommend him again in a heartbeat!!!

Kent is great! Communicative, prompt, efficient, quality workmanship, tidy. We love our new cabinets! Want your kitchen looking new without a total redo? This is the guy for you. Thanks Kent!

Kent did a beautiful job in our kitchen. He made suggestions when we were unsure exactly what we wanted, came up with a unique stain for our cabinets that he had never done before (white wash pickling stain on maple), completed everything in just a few short days, went above and beyond to carry out my own suggestions as he was proceeding, and kept the mess down to a minimum. He was very detail-oriented and conscientious about doing everything just right. I really enjoyed having him work in my kitchen. I would definitely call Kent again if I needed anything done regarding cabinetry in my home.

He was really, really nice. He was our second choice for doing our kitchen. I would have chosen him but the other guy just had a couple more options that we were looking for. He was very, very nice to deal with. He answered his phone calls promptly to give us an estimate. We got 5 different bids. He was prompt, courteous and professional. His price was a little less than the guy I used but the other guy had more specific things that he could do.

I cannot recommend Kent Tullis highly enough. I am VERY picky about work being done in my home and I'm always looking for exceptional products and services at competitive pricing. Kent exceeded ALL of my expectations. His cost was approx 15% less than another local, well-established cabinet refinisher. He provided cabinet samples so I could select the appropriate color of granite and assisted me in finding the right appliances (microwave and fridge) so he could build new cabinets that would fit (and they did so perfectly) around the appliances. Kent installed the cabinets exactly when he said he would, was prompt to my home each and every morning and cleaned up after himself at the end of each day. My kitchen project took 6 days and Kent worked Monday through Saturday. Many subcontractors won't work on Saturdays so this was important to me. Kent is very professional and trustworthy and I will definitely use his services again in the future if I have a need. I have already referred him to friends considering cabinet replacement. I only refer people who knock my socks off and Kent fits that category! You won't regret working with him!!!!

Kent did an excellent refacing the cabinets in our kitchen. He showed enthusiasm energy and professionalism in all aspects of the work. He also exhibited creativity in his suggestions and was very easy to work with. His prices were fair especially considering the quality of the work. He acted promptly and was respectful of the schedule. We cannot give enough praise for his excellent work.

Kent is fantastic. He refaced our kitchen and three bathrooms to perfection. Kent is a true craftsman. He works alone hand makes all the pieces. We could not be more pleased with how everything turned out. There is no way we would have gotten the quality and price for new cabinets. We highly recommend Kent and High Country.

Can't recommend Kent highly enough. I spoke with many providers and received several estimates. Kent was not only the best cost, but offered the highest quality services and the least obtrusive process. The newly refaced cabinets make a huge difference, and I am sure they have increased our property value. Kent was easy to work with, the process was easy, he was committed to quality, and had no hidden costs. He did an excellent job and we couldn't be happier with the service - top recommendation.

I cannot say enough good things about Kent and High Country Refacing. He is a true craftsman and his work is impeccable. He was professional and a pleasure to work with. He offered suggestions that were very helpful in making our design decisions and was patient with us when we had a difficult time deciding on color. He was always on time and there were no delays in completing the work. We did a lot of research before deciding to reface vs. new cabinets, restaining or painting. I am so glad we chose refacing because 1) the kitchen was usable throughout the project (five days was all it took) and 2) now it looks like the cabinets are brand new--well they are except the insides! And the end result exceeded our expectations--they are gorgeous. I highly recommend High Country Refacing. You will not be disappointed in the quality of the work or the value for the price. Like I said in the beginning, Kent is a true craftsman.

Went very well. He was on time every day or told us in advance when he would be late. He thought it might take 9 days but he finished in 7. There was one piece of plywood on an end panel that we did not like (grain was pretty wild) after it was stained. Kent, without hesitation, took it out and replaced it. The price was less than half what Home Depot estimated and, as stated, what Kent did is far beyond what HD would have done. Plus Kent gave us the custom look. He makes the doors and drawers fit exactly (larger than stock cabinets) to look like custom cabinets. In the end the kitchen looks great. Looks like all new cabinets!

I found Kent on Angie's list and called him to give me a bid on kitchen cabinet refacing. Kent was very professional and answered all my questions. Replaced several cabinets with roll out shelves which I love. I had a desk with cabinet above that he replaced for me. He replaced the desk with a full cabinet under the countertop, and he built a new cabinet that was bigger than the one I had and it turned out great. Much more space than I had before. I had a range fan above the stove and wanted to replace that with a microwave so he made a smaller cabinet above to accommodate it. I couldn't have picked a better person to update the look of my kitchen. What a difference it made. Better than I had imagined. I would have no problem recommending him to others and already have.

We decided to contact High Country Refacing based on very positive reviews on Angie's List. Owner, Kent Tullis, came to our house to show samples of his cabinets, woods available, stains, etc. He gave us an estimate on the spot. There was no sales pitch---just a very good business approach to what he could accomplish and within what time frame. He was easy to contact, punctual and very personable. We choose shaker cabinets with a golden oak stain. The finished product is really beautiful.

Kent at High Country is a true craftsman. He makes all of his cabinet doors by hand and his attention to detail, quality and workmanship is top notch. We refaced a large kitchen with over 50 cabinets and drawers, a built-in desk, a peninsula, etc., he didn't cut corners and was a joy to work with. The cabinets look better than if they were store bought. I highly recommend this company and would absolutely use it again.

Kent came over as scheduled and did and great professional job. It took him about 4 days to completely transform our kitchen. He even worked in a few little extras like fixing broken cabinet floor and changing drawer size that we were in need of. I thought the price was very good and we couldn't be happier with the new look. I would definitely call on High Country Refacing if I ever need a resurfacing again.

Our condo in Keystone had builder grade cabinets in the kitchen and bathroom. We wanted to upgrade the cabinets to something more up to date and get away from the stock builder grade that was used in all of the condo units in the building. The cabinet boxes themselves were in very good condition, but looked dated. Kent met us in Keystone and he recommended we replace the cabinet doors and drawer fronts with a mission style. We went with this option and while Kent was there, we asked him to give us an estimate on refacing and replacing the doors to the murphy bed enclosure. The total cost of both was very reasonable and we ended up having Kent do both projects. Kent took all of the cabinet measurements while we were there and was able to fit us into his schedule within two weeks. All of the work was completed in two days. The difference from the old cabinets to the new updated cabinets was like night and day. Kent was able to match exactly the existing stain and finish of the kitchen and bathroom vanity cabinets. The murphy bed enclosure turned out beautifully. Now our condo stands out from all of the other units in our building. We were so happy with the work Kent did in our condo that we had him update the bar cabinets in our family room at our primary residence. Again, Kent's work is meticulous and his craftsmanship is perfect. < We definitely recommend Kent to anyone looking to update their cabinets.

Kent came up to give us the estimate and we immediately knew we had found the right guy. We had two other bids from larger, more advertised companies and felt like we were just another bid in their busy day. He's a small shop, but that's exactly why you feel like there is no other client but you. And it helps to explain why he was so much lower than the other bids. When it came time for the install, he showed up when he said he would and knocked it out in two long days. Very clean - he went to great pains to do his cutting outside to lessen the impact on us. When he was done, the end result was even prettier than we had imagined. That old European white look is now a beautiful natural finish cherry, showing off the most interesting grain patterns. We couldn't be happier with Kent's work and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen! Jean and Bill Wallace Lyons, Co.
