Maplewood Kitchens

Several years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Scott to do a kitchen and two bathrooms. After the job was done in the kitchen and one of the bathrooms I was very impressed with his eye for detail and accuracy.

One of the bathrooms still needed to be finished and several years later I had him come back and, to his word and to credit he completed the job without any hesitation to the same level of expertise and professionalism that he has done of the kitchen and the other bathroom.

I would highly recommend Scott for any job and trust his work.

We had orange oak kitchen cupboards that were dated, worn and ready for a makeover. We did our research and found Maplewood Kitchens. From our first meeting with Scott to the end of the job he was absolutely wonderful. He made the process very easy with little disruption. The new cupboards and backsplash look beautiful. Scott is a true professional, a great communicator and is highly skilled. I would recommend Scott and Maplewood Kitchens to anyone

I am very happy with the work Scott and his team did. Scott has a committment to finding out exactly what the customer wants, doing good work and providing customer satisfaction. The work included removing the old kitchen, erecting two walls, creating a pass-through, installing ceramic flooring, replacing the upper cabinets and reinstalling the lowers, replacing all the cabinet doors, drawers and handles, replacing the sink and faucets, and installing quartz countertops, under cabinet lighting and a tiled backsplash. Floor tiling was also done in some other areas of the house to coordinate with the kitchen work.
Scott was easy to work with - very accommodating and patient while I made decisions. He was flexible regarding things like reusing or replacing cabinets but willing to give an opinion when asked or when he thought it was necessary. He was also personable and fun to chat with.
I appreciated that Scott called ahead about arrival times, kept appointments and remained until each day's job was completed.
I've added a "before" picture and three "after" pictures.

We are thrilled with the renovation on our 40 year old kitchen.
Scott's design made the room appear larger and a lot more functional.
The quality of work is superb.
Scott's mission is to please the customer and this was demonstrated especially with his patience and advise when we took a long time choicing design elements.
I would highly recommend Maplewood Kitchens.

While searching for a custom kitchen cabinet builder, we came across Maplewood Kitchens on Homestar. We are adding to their long list of very satisfied customers. Scott was the only one who agreed to see our somewhat unusual space before planning began. Scott was always reliable and available to answer questions and concerns we had throughout the entire project. The install went smoothly, the cabinets are fantastic and the new kitchen looks amazing. Thank you, Maplewood Kitchens.

I had Scott reface my kitchen cabinets and build me new drawers. I am
Thrilled with the results. It looks like a new kitchen. Scott is very personable and is an excellent carpenter. I would highly recommend him and would hire him again in an instance . Thanks. Mary

We were lucky to find Scott/Maplewood Kitchens through Homestars. We wanted someone local in Durham to help us assemble and install an IKEA kitchen. We found Ikea’s quote to be relatively expensive and had seen mixed reviews on their third party installers.

Scott’s price was very reasonable and fair and he did much more work for nominally more than the estimate from Ikea, which was for assembly and installation ONLY. For example, removal/disposal, tiling backsplash, range hood vent and install, built a bulkhead, re-routed and added a plug, moved a floor vent and fixed our overfridge cabinets when the fridge didn’t fit! He suggested replacing the original cabinet doors with drawer fronts, which worked like a charm.

Scott was upfront about squeezing us in between his custom kitchen installations, but still finished in a timeline that we were comfortable with.

We are thrilled with the results! Our kitchen was transformed from an ugly 80s kitchen with little counter space to a modern and functional one.
He also did some other work for us, which I haven’t included in the cost here. Scott is friendly, honest, hardworking, and takes pride in his work. We highly recommend him and would work with him again on other projects!

I am speechless!!! I love love love the kitchen Scott did for us. I would not change a thing. Absolutely beautiful!!! I contacted Scott roughly a year ago and he was extremely patient and helped us plan the kitchen of our dreams. The most difficult part for me was selecting coordinating colour tiles, cabinets and counter. Scott gave me his honest opinion about some of my selections and steered me in the right direction on some of my choices. I would not change a thing about my kitchen or the renovation process and I would not hesitate in recommending Scott for any renovation. Thank you Scott!!!

My tired kitchen needed a facelift...badly! Scott was at my home for an estimate within days giving me options for cabinet finishes and counters that met my tight budget. Hi finished work, his professionalism and his attention to detail and amazing customer service make him worthy of the highest recommendation!!
