Building a custom home is a daunting endeavor. When cabinetry represents one of the largest architectural investments, selection cannot be casual.
“We looked at five or six cabinet companies. We did a lot of research.”
Responsiveness and problem-solving mattered most.
“They were always there to answer the phone.”
“They were always there to solve problems.”
Cabinetry defines the home.
“We invested a lot of time making sure we did it the right way.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better team to guide us through the entire process.”
The result:
“The value was tremendous.”
“What they brought to our home truly made it a unique experience.”
High-end custom homes demand precision, coordination, and reliable trade partners.
“We run a pretty tight schedule and they were able to commit and deliver.”
When material sourcing became difficult, performance mattered.
“The vendor I used in the past wasn’t able to source the material, but French Refinery was able to come through.”
In complex builds with countless subs and tight constraints, responsiveness is critical.
“Late night phone calls… prompt responses… due diligence in the design process.”
For the level of quality and service provided:
“It was a very fair price.”
What ultimately stood out:
“The amount of pride in their product and in the service they provide — it’s unmistakable.”
“That’s what helps us provide a nice product to our clients.”
Not all “built-ins” are created equal.
“I found many people willing to throw up boxes on a wall and call it a built-in.”
For a focal point that defines the entire room, quality was non-negotiable.
“This is the difference between someone who says they can do it and someone who’s a professional in this field.”
Design clarity mattered from the start.
“It was obvious he understood what people need out of a built-in.”
“I didn’t have to convince him what was important to me.”
Visualization removed guesswork.
“You did not have to use your imagination from a 2D drawing.”
“They made it really easy for a layman like myself to design something custom.”
Execution separated them.
“The seams in my built-in — you can’t see them.”
“It looks like it’s made out of one piece of wood.”
In a home full of subcontractors:
“Jordon is the only subcontractor where everything has gone extremely smoothly.”
“I wish all of my subs could be like French Refinery.”
When building their home from the ground up, high-end cabinetry was non-negotiable.
“I went out and visited one of their job sites… everyone kept saying, ‘This is really good work. It looks high-end.’”
What began as cabinetry for the main focal areas quickly expanded.
“After working with them and seeing how their process went, we decided to do all of our bathrooms, the laundry room — everything.”
Professional guidance removed uncertainty.
“They really helped me know what I didn’t know.”
“I didn’t know, but The French Refinery helped me figure all that out.”
Design clarity made it easy.
“They came back with 3D renderings that I could look at… and we tweaked them.”
Even high-traffic family spaces were thoughtfully designed.
“They helped me figure out what would work best for my family.”
The result:
“The craftsmanship is great.”
“It was just an easy, flawless process for me.”
I have been following The French Refinery for years and they were my natural choice when selecting a vendor for our bathroom/closet remodel. After they came to our house for a site visit, my wife and I went to their office/showroom and designed our new bathroom vanity and closet built ins. They set realistic expectations for install and they delivered in the window promised. The final product was even better than we had imagined. We already have our sights on our next room to tackle. If you are in need of custom cabinetry, I wouldn’t hesitate to utilize The French Refinery.
Excellent 10/10 experience with The French Refinery! They created, custom made and installed the most beautiful built-ins for our bedroom. I knew basically what we wanted, but what Jordon and his exceptional team made for us exceeded our expectations in every way. They were very pleasant and patient during the design. They communicated well throughout the entire process. During the installation, I was so impressed with their professionalism, efficiency and expertise. They are very honest, great guys that are masters at their craft. I would HIGHLY recommend this company and would certainly use them again.
A huge thank you 🙌 to Jordon, Spencer, Alex, Roger and the rest of the team that worked so hard to deliver this amazing addition to our bedroom!
I couldn’t be happier with my table from the French Refinery! Jordan was awesome to work with. I originally ordered a rectangular table and bench and realized that it wouldn’t work in my space. Jordan was great about changing my table and dealing with my madness. He provided guidance and ideas, but also made sure it was exactly what I wanted. In the end I got a round table and it’s beautiful and fits the space perfectly. If you are in need of a table or other custom furniture you must check out the French Refinery!
I recently had the pleasure of working with the French Refinery for my kitchen renovation, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, Jordan’s team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. They listened carefully to my ideas, offered insightful recommendations, and executed the design flawlessly.
The quality of the cabinets is outstanding, with a perfect blend of style and functionality. Every detail, from the finish to the hardware, reflects their commitment to craftsmanship. The installation was smooth and efficient, and the final result has exceeded my expectations.
I am thrilled with my new kitchen and highly recommend French Refinery to anyone looking for top-notch cabinet solutions. Their dedication to customer satisfaction and high standards of work truly set them apart. They are not only a great business to work with but they have become ours friends! Thank you to the French Refinery.!!!
These guys are great! They made the design, demo and installation super easy and convenient. The work was done right the first time and done in a timely manor.
I would strongly recommend this company to anyone that is looking for high quality work at a reasonable price.
These guys are artists! We bought a new home with a large entry room that needed a statement piece. My wife suggested a wine bar and started brainstorming on what it would look like. We gave Adam our concept design (we can’t draw well) which he modeled on a computer to come up with the final proposal. This was a complex project with a lot of unusual features that they nailed perfectly. Mike took great care in assembling the unit and you can tell he puts his heart and soul into it. We couldn’t be more pleased. If they can do this, they can handle any project.
Adam and the team from The French Refinery were on point from the first sketch and measurement, to the day they installed the final handle.
The entire team was professional in EVERY since of the word; performing quality work in a timely manner – all without disturbing the rest of my home.
After building an entire custom home, I can tell you first hand, this level of craftsmanship is extremely hard to come by; leaving me with regret that I didn’t meet with them sooner.
We’ve used Jordan at The French Refinery for two of our homes. His work is amazing, he is timely and easy to work with. We’ve referred him to two friends who have also had built-ins installed.
“We decided quite a long time ago that we needed to upgrade from our IKEA furniture to something more useful. The COVID work-from-home experience reinforced those beliefs and we started looking at home office installers in the Tampa Bay Area. Most of the companies we received quotes from were custom closet installers who adapt the concept to a home office. We never thought about going with a customer cabinetry company as we thought the price would be far too high to be justified for a home office. To our surprise, when we called The French Refinery their pricing was in-line with what the custom closet companies were charging for MDF/Particle Board cabinetry. The French Refinery offered plywood construction and all of the customization options of the other companies. Having gone through another project in our house using one of the big box premier custom cabinetry companies, I can tell you that having your cabinets built/installed/finished locally is a huge benefit as any changes or errors can be fixed quickly (not waiting weeks for new cabinets/doors). They also did a custom shiplap wall in our office that is the envy of anyone who comes over. Their quality is outstanding. I would highly recommend the French Refinery to anyone looking to go the custom route.”
Adam and his team did an amazing job on my bathroom vanity. Another company had messed up huge and was taking months to come back. Adam saw my frustration and got the job done very quickly, including matching the color I wanted and custom building the flip-top makeup vanity I wanted. Would definitely recommend!
We have worked w Jordon and his team on 4 custom homes so far. They were very professional and courteous to our clients. I highly recommend the French Refinery for all your cabinet needs.
The French Refinery offers nothing but the best in quality in every custom build out that they do. Highly recommend their service!
My husband and I used The French Refinery to custom build our new wall unit and we could not be happier. We were well informed throughout the entire process and everyone we worked with was very professional. Adam helped us pick the best design and color to fit in our condo. Roger and Jordan took the time to put it together making sure it came out perfectly. We absolutely love the new addition to our condo and would highly recommend The French Refinery for custom built cabinets!
