Cabinnova Kitchens

We are very happy with our choice of Cabinnova to reface all our cupboard doors. They were a pleasure to work with at every point. Shelly came to our home with lots of samples of doors and hardware. Franco did meticulous installation. The price was reasonable. Our kitchen and bathroom look so much more modern. We are delighted with their job and would recommend them highly.

I had a great experience with Cabinnova Kitchens. We wanted to update the look of our kitchen without having to replace everything. Joe was quick to respond to my initial inquiry, and he was in our home with samples within a couple days. Once we made the decision to go with Cabinnova kitchens Franco (their installer) came by and took all the detailed measurements. When Franco returned to install he came prepared, with all his tools and cleaning supplies. Franco worked on our kitchen for a few days and each day before he left he made sure to keep the area clean and tidy. Franco did an excellent job, and after thoroughly inspecting his work I could not find any deficiencies, it was a perfect install. We are very happy with out new cabinets, the panels feel and look great with the soft close hinges and we really like the new handles. I have already recommended Cabinnova kitchens to friends who have come by and commented on how nice our kitchen looks. Thank you Joe, Franco and Shelly for the great experience.

Our kitchen (beautiful 1920's house in Kerrisdale) was looking dated and sad. We were contemplating a complete kitchen overhaul including a complete cabinet replacement ($$$$) and I spent days of my life researching, comparing prices and fretting about the best plan, which business to go with, the cost etc...and then I found the Cabbinova website and thought I'd give them a call. From first speaking with Joe, I knew we were in great hands. So friendly, personable and hard working. On fairly short notice, Shelly came to do an in-home consult (many places don't do tha, I discovered!) She was so helpful and efficient, had great suggestions and I really loved chatting with her. In no time at all we had a plan and a budget (a fraction of the price of a full replacement!). Franco was the installer and we were beyond impressed. Such a nice man with an eye for detail and a very careful worker! The install itself takes a while as there is a lot of detail that goes into it. Everything was always left spotless when the installers left for the day. One day, Joe and Shelly even came in to help with installation as they wanted to make sure that our kitchen was done by Thanksgiving! We had soft close doors added which was a worthwhile luxury. Shelly also arranged for replacement of our backsplash which was also very old and dated. We replaced our countertop separately since we already had that arranged and they were great at liaising and accommodating that. Our kitchen has been transformed! The quality and overall look is actually even better than I expected! And I LOVED working with such a fantastic group of enthusiastic, knowledgeable, hard working, reliable and friendly people. They helped to make the entire process worry and stress free. That's not always easy to find, in a big city! Would HIGHLY recommended that you check them out if you're finding your kitchen a tad depressing but don't want to have to remortgage your house in the process!

One of the challenges of moving to a new city (we moved from Toronto to Vancouver a couple years ago) is you just don’t know who the “good” people are. With Cabinnova Kitchens we feel we truly lucked out.

I instantly felt comfortable with Cabinnova Kitchens’ Joe Ide. He’s a quick responder (both via email and phone), is incredibly personable and showed up to give us a quote right on time. All things that matter to me. Renos can be stressful and Joe has that “don’t worry, we have you covered” vibe that made the entire process almost painless.

The reno that Cabinnova Kitchens did for us was relatively extensive. We did our kitchen (cabinet refacing, countertops and backsplash), both of our bathrooms (cabinet refacing and countertops) and tiling of our fireplace. Joe coordinated with Spectrum Stone’s Stanley Mok to manage the install of our countertops. I wish I could remember the names of the countertop installers (sorry guys). It sure wasn’t easy moving all of the countertops up the elevator and into our place, but they did a great job.

The cabinet refacing, backsplash and fireplace tiling were all done by Adam Lowe. Adam’s another incredibly nice, quick responding and always on time person. And by on time, I mean some days he would show up _exactly_ on time. Like basically down to the second. Adam’s work is absolutely stellar and our place looks terrific largely due to his attention to detail. On a personal note, when you have someone in your home for a long stretch of time, it’s important that you get along with the person and trust them. Adam certainly fits that bill.

Ultimately with any reno it comes down to: “Are you happy with the end result?” It’s a cliché to say a place is “transformed”, but that’s precisely what Cabinnova Kitchens did for us. We love our “new” home and couldn’t be happier!
