Westrup Woodworks

My wife and I recently completed an extensive kitchen remodel with Westrup Woodworks installing our kitchen cabinets. We initially went to Home Depot and they did a wonderful presentation on their computer of what the completed cabinets would look like in our home. We hand blueprints in hand and they based their plan/​quote on that. After receiving our quote we went to visit a friend who Westrup Woodworks provided service for. We liked what we saw and called and spoke with Dean. Dean was professional and prompt on the day of his visit. He reviewed our plans and discussed endless options for us to consider. We decided on a finished product and was provided a reasonable quote which was less then what Home Depot offered. The margin wasn’t significant, but what we received in return far exceeded any value received by two other quotes. Dean worked closely with our electrician and our general contractor to insure the cabinets were installed correctly while working in and around other contractor’s time frame. Timing was everything and Westrup did their installation which allowed the project to continue without delay. While Reviewing our blueprints Dean noticed inconsistencies after drywall was removed. Dean foresaw issues down the line and adjusted his measurements to insure a proper fit. If we have went with the Home Depot install this issue would not have been addressed and the cabinets would not have fit. This would have been expensive if not a time consuming event if this issue was not caught by Dean. It’s amazing an inch or two can have thrown the entire project upside down. In the end Dean delivered and he was good to his word. Imagine that in the world of contracting. We all have our horror stories, but Dean set the bar high for others to follow.

We heard about Westrup Woodworks from a neighbor and decided to go by their shop on Gothard to get a quote for our kitchen remodel. We met with Ron and his son Dean and got to see their shop. After getting a quote from the Home Depot, we decided to have Westrup Woodworks do our kitchen. We dreaded the construction but were very surprised that our kitchen was more or less usable through the entire process. Ron left the old cabinets in place till the new ones were done and put plywood on top of the counter. I was only out of a sink for a short time and was able to cook with a crock-​pot and convectional oven during the remodel. Ron and Dean advised us with the design, recommended excellent electricians and plumbers and coordinated everything. We have had our kitchen for over 12 years and it looks still brand new. We have hired them since for new bathroom cabinets (3), custom framing of matching mirrors and a custom desk with cabinet above. All the drawers slide perfect, the wood is gorgeous, the shelves are adjustable etc. Ron and Dean are masters of their craft and perfectionists. I have recommended them to all of my friends and neighbors and just on my one block street they have done 3 more entire kitchens and a variety of custom woodwork. Give them a try, you will not be disappointed. Their pricing is also reasonable.

I found this place by pure luck.
My neighbor was getting new cabinet installed, and I stopped by to check it out.
Everything was custom made and beautifully put together, and oh, that smell of the wood. the real wood smell.
so we went to Dean’s shop and asked if he can make pull out pantry for us, and sure, he was able to help us out.
Here comes the important part: pricing. Dean’s pricing was fair, Trust me, we got price quote from home depot, the container stores, even looked it up on amazon. and it was pretty comparable. plus, these would be DIY. I am just not that handy.
Dean came to our house to measure the cabinet, made new pantry shelves and installed it for us. It was perfect. man, its so beautiful, I wanna cry … and did I mention the fresh wood smell now lingers in my kitchen? :)
