Cabinet Cures

Our house was built in the early 1990's and the cabinets throughout the house were what's called either honey oak or golden oak. The doors were square and boring.  They also had a wide (3) stile between each cabinet door. The boxes themselves were in good shape.

About a year ago we looked into refinishing the cabinets and received some bids. I was surprised by the high prices but it's a very labor intensive job so I suppose they made sense. In the end, we'd still have the oak and the boring look.

Fast forward one year and we started looking into re-facing. We received three bids that were all close to each other. We found Cabinet Cures at the Phoenix Home and Garden show and immediately liked Kelly (the owner), their process and the door samples. We scheduled an appointment for a bid. At first all we wanted done was the kitchen, a hutch, and a base bar cabinet. However, after looking at the prices and talking with Kelly we added the master bathroom, the main bathroom, a half bath and the laundry room. Yes, that's a lot of cabinets!

We couldn't be happier with the way this project went.  They came out twice to take and then confirm measurements and we waited about three weeks so the new doors, etc. could be made.

As Cabinet Cures will explain to you, they don't just apply thin veneer to your boxes and cabinet fronts.  They attach quarter-inch facings over everything.  Rather than the peel/stick glue used with the thin veneer they use wood glue with brads around the edges. No way moisture or heat will affect the bond in the future.

The crew showed up on the first day. Nice, friendly guys who laid paper down on the floors in front of the cabinets and the hallways. They also covered the counter tops with paper.  After that they went to work removing the old cabinet doors and drawer fronts.
Installing all of the quarter-inch panels and strips took days.  We found that another plus to using quarter-inch sheets was they were able to shim it out to cover an area that was a bit out of kilter.

On the last day the doors were installed.  Talk about a transformation! Our cabinets went from dated and boring to brand new and up-to-date. All of the new hinges are hidden and self closing.  They worked with us to place the knobs and pulls and the final result is, in a word, perfect.

Because of the number of cabinets (over 60 cabinet doors and 30 drawer fronts) it took five days to complete which is what we were told up front. There was no sense that they were in a hurry to get it done. In fact, just the opposite, I was impressed with the attention to detail.  Each day the crew swept the floors, put their tools and materials away and left the house they way they found it except for the paper on the floors and counter tops.

Although Cabinet Cures is new to the Phoenix area they've been doing business in other cities for a number of years. This was my only concern going in and I actually joined Angies List in Oregon so I could check their reviews.  I also checked Oregon's version of AZ ROC and their BBB. These guys are golden.

Anthony is a scammer my boyfriend worked for him didn't pay him like 4 checks and gave him 2,000 for his cabinets to get done and they never got ordered and stole the money!

Anthony is amazing helpful and overall nice guy. We had him come out for an estimate he worked with our schedules and had a bunch of different options for cabinet colors and design.  We received several different quotes and decided not to move forward but if we change our mind we will go with Anthony.

FRAUD ALERT:  Anthony Duenas apparently purchased the franchise from the former owner.  He came to our home, provide an estimate for a medium-size job, and took a $2025 deposit to pay for the materials cost.  Just prior to the installation date, he called and said the maker of the drawer boxes had an equipment breakdown and we'd be delayed a week or so.  When that time expired, he called and said there'd be another delay.  When that time expired, he called and said the drawer boxes had been built but he had moved them to storage because he was in a business dispute with Corporate and had been served with a cease and desist order.  Claimed to be setting up another business.  After giving him some additional time, we asked for a refund, he said he'd get us a certified check.  When that was supposed to be delivered, he called several times over several weeks providing additional excuses for the delay.  I asked him to deliver the boxes to my home so we had something to show for our money - he said he would.  Again, several delays, numerous excuses, no boxes delivered.  I asked for a copy of the receipt for the bill he allegedly incurred for having the boxes built.  Said he would, didn't, then stopped responding to my questions.  I don't believe the boxes ever had been built.  I think he took our money and used it for other purposes.  Since we originally paid him by credit card, we still had time to dispute the charge.  That is still in progress.  Unless we are reimbursed, I'm going to the police next.  He always comes across as nice and agreeable but fails to deliver on any promises made.  I'd suggest you stay away from any business dealings with him.

We are in love with Cabinet Cures! We had them do the entire house and it completely changed the entire feel of our home. We were very impressed by their professionalism and quality of work. Great communication, delivered on time. Highly recommend!!

SCAM ALERT - Anthony made big promises and delivered on some of them. Initial job was done but needs some repair work. Signed a second smaller contract to add some pullouts and deco panels to the existing job. Problems started right from the beginning. Placed the initial order in March for install int he first week of May. Got a call to postpone to the 2nd week due to a more demanding customer. Was promised the work would be done it 3 days. It took 6 because Anthony kept pulling his installers off for other work. Work was completed with some minor issues to fix that were promised to be done when the the follow on work was scheduled. 6 months later and hundreds of excuses and we are still waiting for the work to be completed.  Called corporate and found that they are not really the corporate office, just the owners of the name that they licensed to Anthony. But Corporate did promise to make things right to protect their name. I have since found out that the phoenix website is down, his license is suspended and his phone numbers now go to a generic voicemail instead of the nice Cabinet Cures voicemail. I guess he is not out of business and has taken everyone's money for any jobs not completed.

We discovered Cabinet Cures at the Home Show where we first met Anthony.  From the first to the last appointment Anthony was very professional and friendly.  He was accommodating by meeting with us and fielding our calls and inquiries in a timely manner during our research process.  There was never a time when he tried forcing us to close the deal.  The remodel took four days and transformed our kitchen from builder grade oak to beautiful custom cherry cabinetry.  We incorporated some suggestions Anthony offered during the planning process that we had never even considered.  If you already have granite or quartz counter tops and do not want to loose that investment, Cabinet Cures may be the solution you are looking for.

Anthony was courteous and professional throughout the entire process. He explained the process and showed samples. He came to the house more than once to go over colors and styles, helping us to make our decision. Although initially looking only at refacing existing cabinets, when we asked about installing a new cabinet as well, Anthony told us that he could get it done and make everything look great.

He and his team not only lived up to, but exceeded expectations. The detail that they spent ensuring everything was right was amazing. The mouldings used at the cabinets and the kickboards were more than expected. The care given when working in our home was evident and everything was completed on time, looking better than imagined.

We would heartily recommend Anthony and Cabinet Cures to anyone looking to have this work done.

Owner is Anthony Duenas, business AKA Cabinet Cures of Arizona.  He refaced my kitchen cabinets and 2 small hallways 1/24/18.  Horrible job with the stain, very blotchy.  The stained cabinets he showed me in his catalog were beautiful, as were the ones I saw on his website.  Mine look nothing like those.  He agreed to replace everything but the skins.  This took nine and a half months.  I got lies and one excuse after another and they look worse.  He did not replace crown molding which is 2 different colors.  I have photos with dates, to prove that.  He said, that's the way the wood took the stain.  Maple has the least inconsistencies and should not stain this way with the proper procedure.  The Registrar of Contractors can only hold him to the MINIMUM standard.  He has my $7,200.  I have dealt with warped doors, broken lights, missing hinge on door, missing skins on each side of microwave, missing skin on left hand side of refrigerator, and raw wood in crevices of several area on doors and a fine white powder coming out of the doors.  He told me that was sawdust.  Sawdust coming out of brand new doors?  I have to hire a professional to paint my cabinets.  This will cost me approximately $3,500.  Remember, just because a business has many rave reviews, that does not make them REAL.  They can have their friends post them.

We couldn't be happier with our kitchen. Anthony and Leto FAR exceeded our expectations. Thousands and thousand less than a full kitchen remodel and comparably just as beautiful. We will definitely be endorsing CC to all our friends and family.

I got 6 estimates to reface my old kitchen cabinets and Anthony from Cabinet Cures came in right in the middle pricewise, but we picked him because he seemed to have a higher quality product. He came to the house with samples and when we chose a finish even had a sample door made and sent to us to be sure we liked the finish.Our old oak cabinets were very worn but we had nice granite so refacing was definitely the way to go. They just finished the installation and we couldn't be happier.The kitchen is transformed and there were a lot of extra touches that I wasn't expecting that really made the cabinets look high end. Things like upper and lower molding, wood applied on the bottom of  the upper cabinets and non-laminate box siding. The crew was respectful and tidy and FAST. I honestly can't believe this is the same kitchen. As a realtor I can tell you that the value of my house just went up far more than what I paid for this improvement. I highly recommend this company

My boyfriend and I recently purchased a home in Tempe that was built in the 70's and had the original kitchen cabinets. We hired Anthony and his team to reface our cabinets and we couldn't be happier! Anthony is very hands-on and made sure that the final results would be exactly what we wanted. Throughout the process Anthony responded right away to all our questions and was very reliable. All the cabinet doors and drawers are high quality and look beautiful! We have received so many compliments from friends and family on how great our cabinets look now. We would highly recommend Cabinet Cures if you are in the market for cabinet refacing.

Cabinet Cures just completed our kitchen update in 5 days.  When Anthony came out on the initial appointment, he gave us alot of ideas and suggestions  He met us on the weekend at the showroom so we could really see some of our options as far as wood, styles, colors, etc.  He wasn't pushy in getting a contract signed, just said get back to him when we decided.  After we confirmed we wanted to move forward with refacing, Anthony came out and carefully measured everything. It took about 2 weeks to have everything built.

The crew was outstanding and very friendly!  They were on time and called if they were going to be a bit delayed in getting to our house.  They laid down paper and pads to protect flooring and countertops.  They were neat and cleaned up the area at the end of each day.  The results are really unbelievable.  Completely updated our kitchen.  If your cabinet boxes are good, this is the way to go. This is not a veneer, they use real wood facings which are glued and then small brad nails around the edges.  Everything is leveled, checked and re-checked.  If you have your cabinet handles or pulls, they will even install them for you.

We are planning on having them back t do Phase II.  We highly recommend Anthony and his crew..you won't be disappointed.

We had gotten several quotes to have our kitchen cabinets refaced. Anthony gave us our last quote and we immediately knew we would use him. He brought samples and consulted with us. He and his crew were on time, very professional, and cleaned up after themselves after completing the job. We are very pleased with the finished product and highly recommend Anthony at Cabinet Cures.

Cabinet Cures is amazing. Anthony's knowledge and experience make you very comfortable with the  project. His crew is on time, polite, make very good use of there time and get the job done right. Cabinet Cures is definitely the company to use for your kitchen remodel.

Cabinet Cures re-faced all of our kitchen cabinets and they look wonderful.  I would highly recommend Cabinet Cures for any re-facing projects.

I met Anthony at the Phoenix Home Show and I was interested in their product.  I called Anthony after the Home Show and he came out and explained the process of re-facing and took measurements and gave us a quote.  We also picked out the color of the cabinets.
I did try and get another bid but that person said he couldn't compete with Cabinet Cures price.

After I booked the job, we went to the Showroom to check out the different colors and styles to make sure I was happy with my choice of color and style.  Anthony was very patient us and answered all of our questions.

Anthony provided us with door samples of the style and color of the cabinet.  We couldn't decide if we wanted the glaze or not, so one sample was with glaze and the second sample was without glaze.   We decided to go with the glaze.  We were able to shop with the sample door to figure out what type of hardware we wanted.

Anthony came out of the day the work was to be started and took off all my kitchen cabinet doors and drawers.
The next day, the men came to the house and started the project.  I felt sorry for them because our air conditioner broke and they had to work in 105 degree heat with our swamp cooler and fans going.  They were troopers.  They didn't complain and said that it wasn't too bad until late in the afternoon.

I didn't feel that they were trying to rush and get the project finished.  Both of the men were hard workers and they answered any question that I had as they were re-facing the cabinets.
They cleaned up each day.  You would have never known they were in your house.  

They finished the job ahead of schedule.   They installed the hardware for the cabinets and drawers.  We were missing 8 new hardware handles for the drawers and they waited a little bit so that we could go purchase the hardware.  When my husband got back from the store, they got out their tools that that had packed and installed the remainder of the hardware.  

I was impressed by their work and their professionalism.  GREAT JOB.

Our cabinets and drawers look wonderful.   I'm very happy with the workmanship.

I would definitely  recommend Cabinet Cures.

Cabinet Cures refaced all the cabinets in our house (kitchen, laundry room, 3 bathrooms, linen closet).  Our existing cabinets were over 20 years old, honey oak and very outdated.

We were extremely satisfied with the price, workmanship and final outcome of our cabinet refacing project.  We received quotes from 3 other vendors before selecting Cabinet Cures.  The knowledge and product that they provided were far above what the other vendors could provide within a similar price range.  They clearly know their business and are a pleasure to work with.  

Our job took one week and each day they showed up on time, cleaned up when done and created the least amount of disruption as was possible.  Plus, they even put up with our 2 nosy beagles who just loved them.  We tend to be extra particular about work done on our house and they far surpassed our expectations.  This was a fairly large job throughout our entire house yet when they left you would never know they'd been there and the look of the cabinets is fantastic!

We would definitely use Cabinet Cures again.  They were responsive to all of our questions, worked with us on design of the new cabinets, negotiated a fair price and carried out the job with no hitches.  Additionally, they were able to provide us with samples of stain color and door design on an actual door (not just on a small block of wood) which the other companies could not.  This was one of the differentiators for us as we needed to see before you buy - especially on a project of this size and cost.  

Anthony was our main contact and oversaw the entire project.  He truly knows this business better than anyone else we spoke with.  He instills confidence that the job will be done to your liking by being able to answer any and all questions.  He's professional, personable and extremely responsive.  We can't say enough good about him.  

Bottom line - we LOVE our cabinets and would highly recommend Cabinet Cures to anyone looking to reface their cabinets.

We found Cabinet Cures when they were doing an installation for a neighbor.  After speaking with that neighbor - and hearing her rave reviews - I called Anthony and scheduled an appointment.  The initial process was wonderful, Anthony explained the work process, we looked at samples and he took extensive measurements.  We were pleasantly surprised that we had an estimate before he left.  After we made the decision to use Anthony for our kitchen project from that point forward everything went very smoothly.  We set a start date - and actually the project was started a day early - and the crew came in to remove cabinet doors and all the drawers.  They were very meticulous about protecting the floors and counter tops, very professional and courteous.  When the installation began it was amazing to see the transformation.  It took the crew three and a half days to complete the project and I was very impressed with the quality of work, time for completing the project and the cost and professionalism of the crew.  If you are considering a cabinet refacing project this is a company to absolutely consider - - and use.

Thank you, Anthony and crew for my beautiful kitchen.

We highly recommend Cabinet Cures if you're in the market for resurfacing your kitchen cabinets.  I think our new Knotty Alder cabinets are absolutely stunning!  We got several estimates prior to deciding on Cabinet Cures, who was in the middle cost range of the bunch, and chose that firm because they use solid wood (instead of plywood) on the cabinet ends.  In addition to the crown moulding and baseboards, the price also includes moulding on the bottom of the cabinets to hide under-cabinet lighting.  This job was for a second home we are renovating to sell, and I've got to say the quality of these cabinets is far superior to what we have in our primary home, which was a new build 7 yrs ago.  Although other reviews complain about the inability to get call backs, we had no trouble reaching them the first time.  Plus, they moved up our installation date by two weeks, and got all 58 linear feet done in less than two days, leaving our house without any mess at all!  When and if we decide to resurface the cabinets in our primary home, I will definitely use Cabinet Cures.
