Kitchen cabinet painting

Cil & Karen worked a miracle on my kitchen! They took it from dark and outdated, with orange/brown stain on my maple cabinets, to light, bright & modern, with white on the cabinets and grey on the island. It looks like a brand new kitchen! The quality of the spray painting is outstanding...they really look like they came from the factory and don't look "painted over." Cil & Karen are very professional, punctual, tidy, and care deeply about the quality of their work....all things that are very difficult to find in a contractor these days. We would hire them again without question!

Re-Stain of Kitchen Cabinets ++

We no longer use professional designations like "Master Carpenter or Master Finisher", but if we did both Karen & Cil would have these professional designations and many more. They are 2 of the most professional and talented contractors I have ever had the pleasure of working with.
Our project started out small and seemed to continue to grow the more we saw other kitchens (“feature creep”). In the end, we re-stained our kitchen cabinets, closed the space from the cabinets to the ceiling and added crown molding, installed valences, a gable for the fridge, and a a few other things all in the new color stain that we had chosen with Cil.
Punctual, courteous, clean and polite everything you could ask for in a contractor and then some – if you are lucky enough to have a job done by Awesome Wood you will be VERY pleased with the end result... I know i am.

Turning an old and dated kitchen into something new.

Cil is a “keeper” for sure. There is no one like her.

She transformed our 34 year old kitchen into something totally new by repainting the cabinetry and walls/ceiling. Cil is extremely thorough, does impeccable work, and adds the finishing touches over and above the contracted job to make things “just right”. As well, she has the perfect balance of offering her thoughts on how to make things better while, at the same time, following carefully her client’s wishes. Cil is reliable, shows up when she says she will, and leaves the site neat and tidy when she is finished.

We would recommend Cil to anyone and would hire her again in a heartbeat. She is a true professional.

What could this company do to improve their services?
Absolutely nothing! They are already the best!
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Always choose repainting or refinishing. I would never go with refacing - it costs more and the finished project is too artificial. You can't beat wood, and you certainly can't beat Awesomewood!

refinishing 100 year old oak baseboards and trim

Awesomewood is a small company that is highly skilled and professional. They were punctual, the cleanest work people I have ever had, and most of all, they did beautiful work. They asked for our opinions while providing advice, demonstrated incredible attention to detail and excellent problem-solving abilities when adjustments had to be made to re-install original wood trim that had been removed. We highly recommend them for any work related to wood.

Refinishing antique side table

I had this little "ugly duckling" of a side table at our old cottage up north. It had potential, but was obviously abused in a previous life. It was wobbly, and the finish on it was shot. Karen took care of the structural problems superbly and Cil finished it to perfection...the ugly duckling is now a gorgeous swan. In fact, it looks so good now, I'm not sure I want to take it back up to the cottage! Thank you both for the obvious care and attention to detail you bring to your craft. I'm so glad I found you!

furniture restoration and refinishing

Cil and her partner do absolutely amazing work. They have refinished our previously beyond ugly 1800's bedroom suite to its former glory. Not only do they know how the old pieces should be constructed, they know where to find period replacement pieces such as screws for the drawer pulls that came from the UK over 150 years ago. They know their stuff, are detail oriented and are great to work with.
