Dexter Cabinet & Countertop

Dexter Cabinets remodeled our kitchen in the fall of 2014. The principals, Del and Tim Young, were great to work with, and gave us a beautiful result. We were looking for a mix of new installation and re-​work of existing structures. That combination resulted in a few unexpected wrinkles, but Del&Tim worked out all the problems gracefully. Dexter Cabinets itself specializes in the cabinetry and counter tops, but they have an excellent group of other craftspeople they work with regularly for electrical, plumbing, and carpentry, so Del and Tim basically functioned as contractors, coordinating everything. (We hired our own people for painting and wood floors).
My wife is thrilled with the results, and, amazingly, the project finished on budget and on time — the whole process took less than two months! I highly recommend these guys.

I just had all new quartz countertops installed in our kitchen by Dexter Cabinet and Countertop. The job was huge. We had a lot of counter to replace. Not only that, what we were replacing was tile counters… a lot of tile counter. We knew going in that tearing them out would be pricey and difficult. Dexter Cabinet did not bat an eye and their demo estimate was well below what we imagined. In fact, the entire job was at or below what we expected. No hidden costs and no surprises. I stopped in their shop to talk to Del Young and the very next day he was at my house taking measurements and I had an estimate in 1 ½ business days. The whole process from estimate to completion was 3 ½ weeks and that included Thanksgiving week. As for the counters — -WOW! Gorgeous and perfect! Every single person we talked to or interacted with was professional and willing to address every concern and detail. I would use them again and again..

We have used Dexter Cabinets for our kitchen and most recently our bathroom. Couldn’t be more pleased with the product and service. Would highly recommend them!

If you are planning to do a kitchen or bathroom remodel, and you are shopping for cabinets/​countertops, here’s a little info for you. There are the usual Lowes/​Home Depot chains of course, but we wanted something a bit ‘nicer’ — and we had a specific configuration of drawers in mind. We though we would have to go to a custom cabinet place to get what we hoped for, so someone we know suggested that we check out Dexter Cabinet and Countertop. We went there thinking that they sold custom cabinetry — but they are actually just a vendor for pre-​manufactured cabinet ‘sections’. My main disappointment with this business though, was that I felt like they took a very lax approach and had no sense of ‘urgency’ to meet customer requests… as in, they took their own sweet time addressing my request for an estimate. Maybe this is just my bad luck — but it took a long time, and multiple follow-​ups on my part (I had to drive out to Dexter in person more than once), to finally just get an estimate from them. Also, from my very first communication with them I mentioned that we had a specific project deadline, and they lead me to believe my project timeline would be no problem. But, after they finally gave me the estimate they also told me that they would not be able to meet my project deadline after all. This ended up being a big waste of time for me, and really put a delay into our remodeling project — total bummer. I can’t speak to final product quality and installation services, because we ended up not doing business with Dexter Cabinet and Countertop. In the end we purchased cabinetry from IKEA — yes, IKEA. We realized that a place like Dexter Cabinet and Countertop just sells standard cabinet pieces that you configure to your own ‘custom’ layout, and that’s exactly the same thing that IKEA does with cabinetry. But IKEA had way more style choices (from traditional to modern), and IKEA was able to offer us exactly the configuration we wanted for a FRACTION of the price that Dexter Cabinet and Countertops quoted.
