Northern Kitchens is a cabinet shop at heart. Its Houzz profile says it creates custom closet units, kitchen cabinets and built-in cabinet and entertainment units, constructed in the foothills of Oxford County, Maine. A 2018 customer said they had been a customer since 2009, that Barry had remodeled their kitchen, and that he built vanities and medicine cabinets for all three of their bathrooms. That 2018 customer said Barry had also built them hutches and bookcases. A 2019 customer described the cabinet as strong and durable. A 2017 customer said their initial delivery was missing more than 25 items, including one door, and that one cabinet was made wrong. That 2017 customer said two later deliveries in July and August failed to complete the job, while calling the cabinet quality good and the price right. A 2017 customer said their kitchen was still not finished 6 months after starting, and that they had to hire another company to finish the job they had paid Northern Kitchens to complete.
If you want something extremely strong and durable that would last forever look no further this is by far the best cabinet that I found out out there yet keep up the good work
We have been a customer of Northern Kitchens since 2009 and continue to contract with them. Barry has remodeled our kitchen and built vanities and medicine cabinets for all three of our bathrooms. We have also purchased our bedroom set from Northern Kitchens when Barry was building home furniture. He has built us Hutches and bookcases. We are extremely pleased with the quality of work and have recommended his business to many friends.
Avoid this company unless you have the skill, time, and patience to personally complete the work you contracted for. The cabinet quality is good, the price is right, but the service is beyond bad. My initial delivery was June 15. More than 25 items were missing, including one door, and 1 cabinet was made wrong. 2 subsequent deliveries in July and August failed to complete the job, including the missing door and incorrect cabinet.
Avoid this place. My kitchen is still not finished 6 months after starting. I regret ever contracting this company. Their shop does great work but the customer service is terrible. The owner, Barry, seems to want to run his business into the ground. He should get what he wants. I now have to hire another company to finish the job that I paid Northern Kitchens to complete. My mistake was to be very forgiving and easy and not complain about the constant delays, set-backs and non-delivery of items I paid for. All I can do now is warn others to not make my mistake and do business with Northern Kitchens.
