Compliments to the Cabinetmaker!

In this section of Wood Shavings, we let our customers do the talking. Through photos and thank you notes, they tell us how much they love their Crown Point cabinetry!

Crown Point's "Limited" frameless line creates a smart contemporary look enhanced in sapele mahogany

"A Gracious and Beautiful Cook's Kitchen..."

"I am thrilled! Crown Point designed and crafted a gracious and beautiful cook’s kitchen for me. I use every cabinet every day, and the warm wood is always there to greet me."

Efficiency and cabinet storage are maximized with this carefully laid out design

"My Crown Point Designer, Lois Horan, listened carefully to my needs and designed my dreams into a reality. The fine quality cabinet doors and drawers glide open and shut seamlessly, and extra deep corner cabinets for the sink and pantry make the most of my long, narrow space."

Corner cabinetry that conceals lazy susan options (both above and below the counter) help keep necessities discretely within easy reach. Note the beautiful grains and rich color of the natural sapele!

"Everyone who sees my kitchen says ‘WOW! Can I come live with you?’ I love my Crown Point kitchen and take pleasure in cooking up a storm for my friends and family! Thank You!"

Accents of soft green are the perfect complement to Steeple White cabinetry. The calming color pallette sets the tone for a relaxing space to gather with the family.

"The cabinets fit like a glove..."

"It is such a pleasure to spend time in our beautiful new Crown Point kitchen!"

"The cabinets exude quality from the distinctive crown moulding and high-functionality features to the beauty and durability of the painted finish. They integrate well with the rest of the home and are the perfect complement to the large arched opening between the kitchen and family room that was a 'must-have' design element from the start."

To the right of the range is a corner susan, and to the left, a rollout can storage keeps items within easy reach. Above, a stacked moulding treatment adds elegance to the crisp white cabinetry.

	"We would especially like to thank our designer Jeff Schneider. His attention to detail and extra guidance for our contractor during the construction phase ensured that the cabinets fit like a glove upon arrival!"
Upper cabinetry frames the window, ushering plenty of natural light into the kitchen.

"Crown Point's custom touches and Jeff's ongoing guidance made the difference between 'That's a nice kitchen' and 'Wow-what a fabulous room!'"

"Our compliments to Jeff and the entire cabinetmaking team for turning our dreams into a reality that our whole family enjoys every day."

Cabinetry finished in the classic paint color "Natural Sand" incorporates a farmhouse sink, two dishwasher drawers with appliance panels and a spacious corner cabinet above the sink

"Even nicer than I imagined..."

A homeowner in Dobbs Ferry, New York expresses her thoughts and shares her Crown Point experience after completing her kitchen remodel last year:

"When I decided to remodel my small kitchen in New York, I knew I wanted Crown Point Cabinetry, but I thought for sure that they would be out of my price range. So I grudgingly went through the beginning stages of the design process with another cabinet provider who was nearer to me. I took one look at their sample and immediately called Crown Point. As I imagined, their quality far surpassed that of my local guy. What I hadn’t expected was that their quote actually came back less expensive!"

"Another great thing about working with Crown Point was the amazing customer service. My sales designer, Bob Davis, could not have been more helpful. He listened to everything I wanted in a kitchen and designed something even nicer than what I imagined-and I was imagining for 6 years!"

"Initially, I was hesitant to use Crown Point, not only because of price, but also because they were so far away. Their unwavering attentiveness and excellent customer service laid those concerns to rest and I will forever be a fan of Crown Point!"

“Working with Crown Point has been a fantastic experience. Things were turned around quickly and Mike Cahill, my Crown Point Designer, was so responsive to every phone call and email.

From the beginning, I was sold. I had been drawing my dream kitchen to scale in my notebooks for a long time and I just sent my drawings to Mike. He got them into the design program and then he worked with me to make all the final decisions.

I loved being able to give input and see the changes incorporated without being told that 'this cabinet only comes in this size, you can't do that.' I felt like a kid in a candy store!”

Design details such as beaded end panels, true lite muntin doors and crown moulding enhance the beauty of the cherry cabinetry

"People can't believe that you can design a custom kitchen over the phone and via email, but it was such a well thought out process that our kitchen renovation couldn't have gone any better! Our construction company felt the same way, and also said that yours were the best made cabinets they'd ever seen!"

Arch details, a tiled backsplash and period style hardware enhance the cabinetry's beauty, while a red range, soapstone countertops and a farmhouse sink create pleasant contrast against the Buttercream finished cabinetry

"We continue to be thrilled with our new kitchen and we really appreciate the effort everyone at Crown Point put into our project! Not only do we love the quality of our cabinets, but as we spend more and more time in our new kitchen, we appreciate how well you were able to listen to our needs and cooking habits, and to transform them into a design that is as beautiful as it is functional. Everything went as smoothly as we could hope -- from the design process, to the production of our beautiful cabinets, to a seamless, on-time delivery and easy installation. Thank you again!"

-Homeowner, Hastings-on-Hudson, New York

Our Crown Point Cabinetry designer flawlessly integrated appliances and a granite apron front sink, making installation a breeze. We receive endless comments from everyone that has seen the finished project. Thank you for all of your patience and support and for a great product! We will definitely use Crown Point again for custom cabinetry in future remodeling or construction plans."

"To everyone at Crown Point Cabinetry, thank you! Our new cabinets are perfect! Being a small business owner, I know how hard it is to impress teamwork in a company. Our Crown Point experience from start to finish shows great company team work. If everything during our remodel went as smoothly as the cabinetry, my whole project would have been 15 times easier! No matter what your position at Crown Point, you should be proud of a job well done."
