J&B Fine Cabinetry

Friends of ours recommended J & B Cabinetry to us and we were very happy that we went with them. Our old 1963 kitchen had to be completely gutted including the soffits and Bill was very helpful in directing this process. He recommended who to work with to replace drywall which was helpful as we had no idea who to use for this. From start to finish, Bill was as prompt as he could be between having our kitchen measured, to ordering the cabinets, to installing them. My only complaint really was my own misunderstanding I think. I was used to my old 1963 kitchen where the upper cabinets flowed left to right in one full swoop and not cut up in separate cabinets. I should have asked more questions in the design phase. But over all I'm very happy. The only other tiny complaint is that because the cabinets really go 3 inches from the one wall, (and not all the way to the wall, there is a bit of dead space there) they aren't exactly custom, but it appears they have sizes they choose from to get your cabinets to fit the best. I thought they were really custom inch by inch. However when they measured for the brand new appliances to fit in the cabinets, they all fit like a glove including the wall oven, built in microwave, and new refrigerator. I read other reviews and I was never pressured to buy appliances or hardware thru J & B and bought my own online. Overall I'm thrilled with my kitchen and really have absolutely no complaints that I went with J & B. For me they were an answer to prayer.

My wife and I started from scratch looking for cabinets for our kitchen and bath remodel. We looked for over a year and at numerous businesses, visited lots of displays. That’s how we found J B Cabinets. Once we looked at the quality of their cabinets we were sold. The owners Bill and Peggy run the business. You receive personal attention from each of them as you go from the process of planning to completion. To say my wife and I are pleased with the final product is an understatement. The quality of their work is as good as I’ve seen and I’m 68 years old. Please do yourself a favor. Visit their showroom. You’ll be glad you did.

When we first walked into the J&B Fine Cabinetry showroom in St Petersburg we felt like I had finally found the place that could replace my outdated kitchen and guest bathroom. We had visited so many cabinet makers and their showrooms but none suited our need for quality merchandise and experienced designers.

We were greeted by the owners, Bill Parr and Peggy Yenny, with more than 25 years’ experience in the cabinetry and design business. Their showroom is certainly a reflection of this experience showing several full cabinetry displays along with a full working kitchen. Bill took us on a tour of the showroom showing us the displays of cabinet doors, handles and knobs, counter top materials, and photos of his designs and finished work.

We were very impressed as we had never had anyone take so much time with us. We were never pressured and after one or two more meetings and a home visit where Bill took some measurements, we received our first design. The whole process from beginning to end was very smooth. The installers were professional and left the areas clean every day.

Bill and Peggy were always available to answer our questions and promptly returned our calls. Their advice was invaluable when making choices about style, design and color. Bill and Peggy were so easy and friendly to work with and I would certainly refer them to all my friends.

I started my kitchen remodel looking into refacing or replacing with stock cabinets. Both options would have costed thousands. Based on a friend's recommendation, I looked into J&B Cabinets wondering how much custom would cost.

After a phone call, Bill came out to measure in two days and a week later, I had an estimate that was affordable. Since they carry multiple lines of cabinets, he was able to match me with one that was within my budget. And even though it's their bottom line, it's still way above what you would get as a prefab, like soft close hinges and undermount railing.

I then scheduled a meeting with Peggy who went over the design with me, cabinet by cabinet. We added some pull outs, trash pulls etc., trying to maximize my storage. We paired the cabinets with samples of granite and quartz. Again, they offer different lines for different budgets; not once were they pushy. We have come to a final design and it's beautiful.

The most pleasant part of this was Peggy and Bill made it so easy for me, a working mom of two. Peggy and Bill can design you a $6k or $60k kitchen all the while treating you like you're designing the latter. I will update once the cabinets are installed, but I'm confident all will turn out well like my friend's.

Update:
It's been two months since the cabinets and counter tops were installed. I love my new kitchen and layout. So much more functional. I didn't realize how much wasted space there was in my old kitchen until now. There is a place for most of my items instead of just leaving them out on my counters or top of fridge. I'd like to say my counters are all cleared off like you see in magazines, but my kids like the new counters too! To display all their toys! Thanks J&B.

We Love J&B Fine Cabinetry. Bill and Peggy and their staff are easy to work with, professional, talented, dependable and wonderful. They have designed and installed our last 2 kitchens and we will always use and recommend them. We met in 2004, when we decided we wanted to stay in our home and design our dream kitchen. It was an odd shaped room and we didn't want to knock down any walls. Bill's design was very functional, fit in the space and was beautiful. We are just ordinary cooks, but everything tasted better and was easier to prepare in the new kitchen. It was a fun experience and not the nightmare everyone says about remodeling. The project was on time and on budget. Thanks to Bill and his team. They advised us, when we asked with honest answers, which helped us manage the whole project, not just the design and cabinets. We told everyone we knew what a great job they did and would recommend them.

We had an opportunity to move and it was difficult decision because we loved our kitchen. It's what sold our home. When we moved into our new home the kitchen was lovely, but not functional for our large family holiday dinners. At the first chance last spring (2016) we were able to remodel, we called Bill. He and Peggy met us and we got to work on designing the second kitchen of our dreams. The new kitchen is so beautiful. Friends and family say it looks so much better in person. The pictures on facebook looked good but it looks awesome in person. Again the remodel, stayed within our existing walls, with changes in plumbing & lighting. Bill and the team came in on time and on budget. Everyday they worked at the house, they would leave as clean or cleaner than when they arrived. They were very respectful of our home and us, because we stayed home during the remodel. We trust Bill, Peggy and their team and they always comes thru for us. Our only fear or complaint is they might retire and not be available to remodel another kitchen if we move again.
