Kitchen Craftsman

Great value and superb workmanship! Our kitchen sported country oak cabinets and a laminate countertop, circa 1986 and was in dire need of an update. We found Jim Pace of Kitchen Craftsman in Geneva, IL through a reference from a real estate agent. Jim came by to estimate the job and showed us some samples and we also viewed his gallery on his website (Google "Kitchen Craftsman Geneva IL" to find it). Jim provided a clear and very reasonable estimate and explained the process in detail. It took a few weeks for our materials to arrive, and Jim kept us updated throughout the production process. Jim’s craftsmanship was evident throughout the installation process in every aspect -- from the careful fit and finish of the doors, drawers and refaced surfaces, to the way he keeps the work area c

After much research and a discussion with a kitchen designer about replacing versus refacing, I hired Jim of Kitchen Craftsman to reface our kitchen cabinets. We wanted to keep the original footprint of our kitchen but needed a cabinet update. From the initial meeting right up to the finished project Jim was professional, courteous and personable. His selection of cabinet colors was impressive and as tempted as I was to try something new, I stayed with simple shaker style white with black hardware. Jim was at our home when he said he would be with all supplies on hand.

Everything was done exactly as promised at the time and price promised. Jim was very helpful and patient with us in selecting the wood and finish and gave great recommendations. We're absolutely delighted with how everything turned out. This was such a practical and easy way to have essentially new cabinetry. 110% recommended.

We have had our new cupboards for a few months now, and we are so pleased with Jim Pace’s work. They are just stunning! Jim was diligent and professional every step of the way. We had planned to have the floors replaced, and he suggested we do the floors before the cupboards. After the floors were installed, we contacted Jim again, and by this time, he was experiencing delays due to COVID. We had to wait several months, but Jim kept us updated on his progress. It was truly worth the wait. Not only did we have all our kitchen cupboards resurfaced, Jim also converted some of them into drawers. This has made a huge difference in getting larger, heavier items out of the cupboards without struggling while also increasing the storage area. He completed the work on time, with minimal disruptio

Jim is an excellent craftsman. He refaced my kitchen cabinets and I could not be more pleased. His workmanship and attention to detail are supberb. It took less than a week and the results are spectacular. My kitchen looks custom built. I highly recommend him
