I worked with this company to get new custom cabinets installed. They were great to work with and very efficient. Mr. John was very transparent as to what I should expect and everything went as planned. We set a date to remove old cabinets, they were there promptly at the time discussed they removed old cabinets without any issues. Next morning new cabinets went in and everything was seamless. I love my new cabinets. I loved I was able to customize them exactly how I wanted. I would recommend them for anyone who is looking to have your dream kitchen come to life. I want to thank Mr. John, Malik and team for being professional and getting everything completed as planned!

I recently worked with the 1617 team for bathroom vanity work in my new apartment, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The quality of their work reflects true multi-generational expertise—you can tell they’ve refined their craft over decades.
What stood out most was their communication throughout the project.
They were responsive, thorough in their explanations, and kept me informed every step of the way. The work itself was completed professionally and to a high standard.
If you need kitchen cabinets, remodeling work, or any similar services, I highly recommend reaching out to them. Their combination of experience, skill, and excellent customer service makes them a standout choice.

They transformed my kitchen into a stunning, functional space that exceeded my expectations! From designing custom cabinets to fit every nook perfectly to crafting beautiful, one-of-a-kind bookcases, their craftsmanship was impeccable. The team displayed incredible work ethic throughout the process, always arriving on time, communicating updates, and keeping the workspace tidy. On top of their professionalism, the pricing was refreshingly reasonable for the quality of work delivered. I couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to elevate their home.
