Cabinets Extraordinaire

The professionalism and kindness of this company is remarkable. I came to them requesting help with a kitchen cabinet door. The door was not from one of their cabinets but they still helped me. If you are looking for a remodeling job, from an honest company, this is the company that I would choose.

What a gorgeous bathroom! We were looking for a contemporary, coastal bathroom with a touch of Sothern charm. Our vision was a place of peacefulness and serenity. We were wanting to avoid the box stores and just replacing the cabinets, tub, fixtures and tile. This is where Cabinets Extraordinaire came to our rescue. Designer, Jeremy Strong, was outstanding. His talent in design and years of experience moved us forward in this bathroom remodel. He listened carefully to our vision, offered suggestions and at times nudged us out of our comfort zone, ending in a design we love. We were never pressed or rushed to make a decision. The staff and subcontractors at Cabinets Extraordinaire told us several times their goal was to make us happy. We specifically wanted a wood ceiling painted in a “haint” blue, as seen on Southern verandas. “Haint” blue ceilings were first seen in the U.S. in the early 18th century in the Lowregion Gullah communities of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Haints, a.k.a. ghosts or evil spirits would be repelled by these shades of blue-green and would keep them from entering the home. Our reasoning was to bring warmth and charm of coastal living into the entire room. The haint blue ceiling color was incorporated on our Cabico cabinetry, which drew you into the bathroom of white. We were so glad to remove the large, motel mirror for two modern, lighted mirrors. We complimented the ceiling with a beautiful, modern Haiku fan. Our shower floor was originally built on an unsafe grade. Jeremy designed a gently, wider, sloping floor with a beautiful, matching tile, linear drain. He envisioned stacking the tiles on the shower walls and floors, adding a more modern sleek look. The chrome push button shower controls are wonderful. We love it all! We cannot say enough about Cabinets Extraordinaire. The quality of design, craftsmanship, quality of materials used and quality of subcontractors. Project Manager, Kyle Menna, was a wonderful coordinator. He listened to every concern and addressed it immediately, kept us on schedule and was organized, and kept this project moving forward. Kyle was personable and easy to work with, as were all the Cabinet Extraordinaire team from office to field. Thank you Cabinets Extraordinaire, Jeremy and Kyle, for exceeding our expectation of a beautiful, coastal bathroom. Job well done!

The cabinets had to be stellar. I wanted the cabinets to be furniture quality, finely crafted, with a good use of technology. I saw nothing in my search of local vendor’s showrooms that could compare to the Cabico Custom Cabinet line specifically the Elmwood series handled by Cabinets Extraordinaire. Jeremy Strong, their top-tier designer, really listened to me. Allowing me to pick my cabinets first, we then backed into the design. He worked with me from product, to drawings, through all the selections never skimping on time and always giving me his ideas with the assurance that I was getting a new kitchen at the beginning of the design-trend curve not at the saturation point. There is an amazing team that takes over after the design but I have to single out Jerry Schanz my project manager. He worked with me and with his teammates in a way that always kept things moving toward a completion date while never sacrificing quality. He too was a good listener and was always reachable. Not a day goes by that I don’t step back and say “WOW”. I love it so much. If I had to move, the MLS write-up would include “a must-see kitchen by Jeremy Strong, of Cabinets Extraordinaire.”

I was relatively new to the Sarasota area. I wanted to renovate my kitchen. I decided to start with appliances. I went to Jessups to have a look around. I lucked out with a lovely sales person. I asked if he could recommend a cabinet company. He gave me two names. I went to Cabinets Extraordinaire first. After my initial meeting with their designer I knew I needn't look further. We spent a lot of time choosing cabinet style, back splash tiles and countertop materials. When it came time to install the countertops we went to the stone company and helped decide where the cuts and seams should be. The project commenced at my timeline. The team set up barriers to confine demolition and reconstruction mess. They were professional talented craftsmen and respectful of me. I credit Jerry Schanz the project manager for the way it all turned out. He was so particular about every detail. He handled the team and work schedule to keep the project progressing seemlessly. Whenever I suggested a minor change he was always receptive. He also problem solved whenever things didn't come together as planned. He would always come up with a better solution. To say that I'm pleased with the results of my new kitchen is an understatement. I'm still in awe of the transition. I have additional projects I'd like to do in the future and won't hesitate to contact Cabinets Extraordinaire.

UPDATED REVIEW: I want to let you know the owner of Cabinets Extraordinaire just did an exceptional job of service recovery regarding my concern about a deposit refund for a design never delivered to us by a previous Cabinets Extraordinaire sales representative. He explained that this is NOT how Cabinets Extraordinaire does business, and that while the sales person we had initially worked with is no longer with the company, and although their files show a design had been done, they don’t know why we did not receive that design. Since we did not receive the design – the owner agrees that our request for the return of the deposit will be honored. Cabinets Extraordinaire did a Great Job of quickly and completely addressing our concerns.

2017 Round 2 with Cabinets Extraordinaire. Another major renovation...our kitchen this time! Jeremy Strong and Joe Menna took our 1970's kitchen & turned it into a 2017 modern dream kitchen! Again, extraordinaire quality work and communication. We couldn't be happier! My husband, the chef, loves it so much that he even chooses to clean it up by himself. I gave myself a great gift in the process! I recommend them constantly! 2015-We chose to work with Jeremy Strong and Cabinets Extraordinaire after careful consideration. They certainly weren't the cheapest of the appraisals, but I felt they were the most honest and thorough with explanations. Our master bathroom renovation would require creative ideas, extensive work involving wall removal and new plumbing requiring changes in the cement foundation. Jeremy came up with a terrific design, yet was always receptive to my own ideas also. Joe Menna took charge with construction and the entire process was very easy to live with. All the subcontractors were professional, on-time and personable...AND they all cleaned up each day after themselves. Communication was so easy...Jeremy or Joe always got back to me immediately when I had questions or concerns. The finished master bathroom is a dream. I wouldn't change a thing. We got exactly what we paid for...quality!

Talented, Caring, Professional, Detail-Oriented, Communicative, and overall outstanding Customer Service. This describes not only our designer, Jim Markovich, but also our Project Manager, Jay McMillan and every employee and sub contractor that Cabinets Extraordinaire (CE) had perform work on our kitchen remodel. In addition, other CE staff such as, Kerry and Joe were amazing in the beginning of the project with getting our project started, communicating with me, and gathering everything that was needed for our permit. We had a challenging project that involved demolishing our existing kitchen down to the dirt floor, rebuilding our floor, installing a new floor, tile, cabinets, electrical, lighting, moving plumbing and building a new laundry room etc. Our designer, Jim, tackled our project with confidence and came out with a top notch design. Our project Manager Jay kept us informed of the schedule and was always available anytime if we had questions or concerns. Workers, Jerry Schanz and Mike were so pleasant and Workmanship was impeccable. Many steps in the project needed our input and Jerry and others always made a point to ask us what we wanted and were willing to offer ideas for how to overcome construction challenges. I cannot speak highly enough about Our Project Manager, Jay. He made our 5 month long challenging project so much easier for us just by coming to our project everyday with a smile on his face which was so sincere. His passion for his job and our project was contagious. I know that he truly cared about doing the best job for us. This was evident in his respectful communication that I witnessed on a daily basis with us, his fellow workers and sub contractors. Overall, we were so impressed with the high quality of work that Jay, Jerry, Mike and others performed on our kitchen remodel, and I highly recommend Cabinets Extraordinaire for all of your construction and remodel needs.

Excellent experience Jeremy/Joe and the team did a great job on our master bath remodel. We have done several remodel efforts (multiple kitchens, multiple bathrooms) over 20 years in many place. This was the best remodel experience we had. It was the least stressful and best planned remodel (for us the two go in hand). While there will always be issues and surprises in a remodel, the upfront work put into purchasing all the necessary items to planning out the schedule helped make all these little surprises manageable. Highly recommend the team to anyone who asks.

While the workmanship is "extraordinaire", I was very impressed with the attitude and professionalism of all of the expert contractors brought in to remodel our bathrooms. It was a tremendous team. Thanks to Jeremy Strong, Joe Menna, and Andy Widowson for keeping the project organized, on target, and the outcome extremely beautiful and functional.

We moved into a condominium that needed a lot of updating. Dave from Cabinets Extraordinaire gave us many helpful ideas for the kitchen. The staff and contractors were very professional and did an "extraordinaire" job.

Cabinets Extraordinaire lives up to its name!!! The owners, the employees, the showroom, the cabinet products and the attitudes as well as the skill is truly EXTRAORDINAIRE. If you are looking to hire or work with a team that you can trust and create a kitchen or a bath of your dreams, you're at the right place. My association is with the owner, whom is the president of NKBA (National Kitchen & Bath Association) Central Florida. We have worked together on a variety of projects and I strongly recommend this team!

Sharon at Cabinets Extraordinare was definitely the right person to go to when we decided to upgrade our kitchen. They had so many choices of tiles and granite to choose from! I didn't know where to begin. She helped me through the entire process and also made great choices on colors and tiles. My kitchen is beautiful now! Thank you Sharon for your expertise! I couldn't have done it without you!!! Bathrooms next!

Cabinets Extraordinaire is an excellent company to work with. They have innovative ideas and hardworking employees who help get the job done. Their designers have exquisite taste and the final product is always done with a tremendous amount of care. I would recommend them for anyone's kitchen, bath, or cabinetry job.
