I want to start off by saying I am content with my cabinets Not ecstatic with the finish and results mainly because of all I had to go through. Mr. Stewart did an in-home consultation for my cabinets that was destroyed by a handyman I have listed the pictures below the first one is the start of the demo the second after they were sick sanded the third picture is what Mr. Stewart tries to make me except as my final project in the fourth picture is the final product.
The first issue is that before contracting Mr. Stewart I asked with there be a lot of dust he said no because he had a specialized sanding machine that sucks out the debris. I don’t think that was true because my house was full of dust when I say full of dust I mean you cannot even touch a while without getting dust on you. Reason I asked about the days is because most contractors will take the doors with them to send him down and paint them and bring them back but he said he could do everything at home so I wanted to make sure that my house would not be full of dust trusting the professional I went ahead and contacted him.
Second issue my project was supposed to be completed on Sunday no later than Monday putting clearcoat on the cabinets my project did not come to completion until Wednesday at this time I was told to come see my cabinets they were complete I asked was a clear coat on them because it looked as dry as it did the day before when I was sitting in my living room it’s still had the dust on it Mr. Stewart became a little frustrated but he went ahead and put a clear coat on if you had did a clear coat already why would you do it again? After putting the clearcoat on he asked me do they look any different I said “no”because they didn’t but once I felt them it was a totally different feel, the feel solidified that the clearcoat was not put on the cabinets prior to me asking them to be completed appropriately.
My third issue is Mr. Stewart trying to get me to settle for a color that was not agreed-upon at the beginning of the contract picture number three is what Mr. Stewart tried to walk away from my house picture four is what we agreed on initially. I believe he was running out of time and had another project to complete so he wanted to rush through my project when it took more time than he initially thought. He did a in home consultation so this is unacceptable behavior for any professional. Lastly, last night as I’m putting things in my cabinet drawer The cabinet door falls off in my hand that is the last straw that is why I am actually writing this review because I don’t want anyone else to go through this. yes, my cabinets look good but for all that I had to go through it wasn’t worth it pay the extra money it’s about a few hundred dollars difference to go to someone that is professional I even had to have him do the kick board underneath my kitchen island because it was missed. I am a professional and I would hate for my clients to have to walk behind me for me to do the job the right way or what I said I would do. I still paid him because I do believe in paying for services but it was definitely undeserving!
