We worked with Al for the vanities in our bathroom renovations and recommend him very highly!! His attention to detail, professionalism, customer service, and quality of product are all incredible and we wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.

We loved working with Al, Mike, and the other professionals Al recommended for a kitchen remodel that also included new flooring, updates to an adjacent powder room, and new paint and chair rail in an adjacent room. Al was very precise in his measurements, offered great suggestions for tricky areas, and ways to increase ease and functionality of our kitchen, and also offered less expensive options we could do ourselves in a few cases. The Amish made, natural cherry cabinets are a work of art that we take pleasure in each day, and we have received compliments from everyone who sees them. The cabinets are beautifully crafted from premium cherry, with solid maple pull out drawers in pantry cabi...

Working with Curran Cabinetry was a real pleasure. Al is so knowledgeable and experienced. He had a number of excellent suggestions for ways to make our kitchen design more functional and efficient and we applied all of them. Al is very easy to work with. He actively solicits your ideas, yet he will (gently) let you know when you are about to make a decision you might later regret. Our kitchen project was completed on-time and on-budget. It turned out perfect in every respect and the quality of the workmanship couldn’t have been any higher. Curran Cabinetry was not the least expensive bid we received, but in our opinion the value of the completed project was worth more than we paid. It doesn...

Al is wonderful to work with. He’s a creative problem solver and designer. The quality of his work, and that of his subcontractors is superb. I highly recommend him.

After decades of working with builders, carpenters, and contractors, I consider Curran Cabinetry to be an exemplary professional. Everything was done to the highest standard--design, the inevitable design changes, equipment orders, furniture delivery, and on-site supervision. As the project proceeded and changes became necessary, Curran worked with us to solve problems and keep the project on-track and on-budget. The end result is a wall knocked down, two smallish rooms joined into a beautiful open-plan kitchen, and a much more habitable home.
