Stephen is an "old school" craftsman who owns the homeowner/craftsman relationship from start through finish. He starts by exploring the homeowner's objectives, likes/dislikes, and market trends. He helped us balance our short- and long-term objectives (improving the day-to-day experience, as well as ensuring that the kitchen would "wow" potential buyers when we decide to sell). Although I (the reviewer) wanted a certain effect, my wife wanted another--radically different effect. After signing the contract, my wife and I continued our discussions. Although we had spent over an hour with Stephen at the outset, he understood our quandary and came out again to explore our options. Thank goodness Stephen and my wife prevailed. Our medium-dark oak cabinetry had experienced considerable drying over the 18 years since it was installed; this produced a pronounced and unsightly grain exposure on the end cuts. Another problem was the widely differing shades of the doors and drawers. If you have the pleasure of working with Stephen in the future, you will know (and appreciate) his ability to fully communicate what he will do, how it will be done, and what to expect. Throughout the process, Stephen answered questions and interacted with me to ensure my expectations were met. The project was completed per schedule. Stephen carefully brought all doors, side panels, kick plates, and drawers' tones/colors into visual consistency. The previously gnarly cabinetry now glows in the afternoon sun, a perfect complement to our new quartz countertops. We are very pleased with the end result that, by far; exceeds our expectations. I appreciate that he and my wife convinced me to follow a better approach. We highly recommend Stephen and the NHance products that he used on the project.
