“says Olson, who tapped Hanford Cabinet & Woodworking in Old Saybrook, where he enlisted the help of Beth Veillette, a custom designer.”
“Steve Hanford draws up plans, but he’s not an architect.”
“the kitchen renovation was completed with granite counters, cabinets installed by Old Saybrook-based Hanford Cabinet & Woodworking , and updated appliances.”
Allison and the team at Hanford crafted a beautiful custom vanity for our new master bathroom. They do incredible, detailed work and the finished piece shows that. Will definitely work with them on future projects!
If you want the best, choose Hanford. Beth is an incredibly knowledgeable and talented designer and is extremely helpful throughout the entire designing, ordering and implementing process. I have now had three complete kitchens done by Beth and Hanford Cabinets, custom bathroom cabinetry, pantry and other custom cabinets, and fireplace woodworking -- and every project has been great - not to mention the fabulous end results! I cannot recommend them highly enough. Don't settle for anything less!
We have been working with Hanford on multiple projects and over many years. Their expertise, quality of work, and customer service are exceptional! Beth, the kitchen designer and our project manager, has extensive knowledge, pays extreme attention to details, and is friendly and very easy to work with. We highly recommend Hanford Cabinet & Woodworking.
Hanford Cabinet & Woodworking has done many projects for us over the last 6 years including a complete new kitchen and primary bath. Their work is exceptional. They just completed a very special request for a custom made mahogany screen and glass door for our entry way. It is truly a work of art! Beth has been our designer and trusted advisor supervising and overseeing every step of our projects. We have used other companies over last 25 years and their work has been good however Hanford is clearly a step above. We recommend them unconditionally!
Beth was great to work with. She was available 24/7 during the design phase - communication and turnaround time on the design was outstanding. The quality of the cabinets is first rate. We had a full kitchen, bar, master bath and laundry room designed and built on a fast track so inevitably there were a couple issues, which were addressed immediately and to our satisfaction. We highly recommend Beth and the team at Hanford Cabinets.
