Renton Cabinet and Granite

We checked out Renton Cabinet and Granite because it seemed like such a good deal for new kitchen cabinets and countertop in the house we were renovating. The prices are great compared to the big box stores and other kitchen remodelers. however, the old adage «you get what you pay for» is true. I am giving the business 3 stars because the cabinets are okay, not top quality — but you’re not paying top quality prices so that’s fair. The cabinet installation took place on time as agreed. I think more attention to detail could have been given here. There were quite a few superficial scratches in the cabinets that I hoping will buff out or be less noticeable with some good wax polish. As I was cleaning up one afternoon and the sun shone on the cabinets just right, I noticed that two adjoining cabinets were slightly different colors. Hard to tell in the regular kitchen lighting we had at the time, but now we’ll always know it’s there. This is where I think the attention to detail should have come into play — if you make or see scratches, fix it. If you notice color variations, fix or replace. As far as the quartz countertop, the installers did not leave the standard 30″ gap for the range, as we discovered when we tried to slide in our new range. So, had to schedule someone to come out and fix, which was a bit of a hassle. I called on Monday and was scheduled for Friday between 2 – 3. I got a message at 6:30 PM Thursday night asking if I could run out to the house and let installer in (no, we were in the middle of something else), and if not, they would have to reschedule because something else came up for Friday. Needless to say I called first thing the next morning and made sure that someone was coming out as we’d agreed to earlier in the week — but they couldn’t do 2 – 3 pm, so I agreed to 6:30 pm instead. Then, at about 3:00 I got a call that the installers are on their way to the house — and I was at least 30 minutes away. So I drop what I’m doing and drive to the house… and wait. I ended up calling after 40 minutes of waiting only to find out the installers were coming from somewhere north of Kirkland down to Maple Valley which would have been nice to know. The installers finally show up, pop the quartz off the plywood, move it over so it measures 30″, and glue it back down. Took them 5 minutes. There is definitely room for improvement in customer service. I would say buy from them if you’re looking for medium (not cheap but not top) quality cabinets/​countertops, but be forewarned you could experience a bit of a hassle factor.

Legit. Very legit. Best price in town and great service. They even let me split up payments to make it easier to afford.
Stunning granite and cabinets installed very well. I was skeptical but HOPE this helps others deciding which company to choose.
Message me if you have any questions about how it went. Generally speaking they were here every appointment and came back for service calls quickly.

We used their services to install granite counter tops in our kitchen and powder room. As we were under time pressure, speed of service and ability to finish on-​time were very important to us (quality too, of course). Working with Gary was a pleasure. He was responsive and flexible, and his time estimate and pricing were spot on. In addition, their prices were very reasonable.
While we are, in general, satisfied with the outcome, there were some serious downsides to how the crew carried out their work:
1. They cut granite in our driveway and did not pressure wash it after they were finished — the driveway looked dirty and ugly, and we had to clean it ourselves.
2. They did not bother to bring anything to cover our floors so they wouldn’t get dirty in the process; we had to improvise, but the floors still got dirty.
3. Gary did not disclose the details of installing the sink and the tile (i.e., we had to buy a few parts for the sink and grout for the tile that we had no idea we needed to get), so we had to do a few last minute runs to the store.
4. The guy who installed the tile did not finish installing the outlet covers (a minor thing that was, probably, due to misunderstanding, but still a nuisance).
Would I use them again? If I wanted expensive, intricately patterned granite and all details of the work taken care of by the project manager — NO. If I wanted a good outcome, using quality granite without intricate patterns, and I was in a hurry and on a tight budge — YES.

This is a review for what they are. This is not a high budget custom kitchen contractor. But great quality a labor.
Gary their everything person is friendly knowledgeable and makes good suggestions without it being an upscale. We were surprised their flyer WAS NOT a bait and switch. With our addons Their bid was within range of the ad. We looked at Costco, Direct Buy and the SODO discount stores. quality, knowledge and labor bid beat out these others. following an hour of Gary’s full attention to us we left with a nice computer print out of our rough drawings and a scheduled visit to our kitchen remodel site.
The personal attention to our remodel cooperation with our carpenter, flexible in schedule changes, threw in hardware. There is a limit on choices of color and patterns each pattern has only one color but both sufficient for an average non custom kitchen. they are all wood no particle board. Nice showroom layout with countertop selection in a variety of price ranges and sink selections with prices prominently displayed. total package included everything including labor no surprises.
I would recommend them as highly competitive.
