Zanelli Woodworking is a Pembroke cabinet shop — custom kitchen cabinets, built-ins and furniture, made and finished to order rather than bought off a shelf. Angi's profile claims 57 years of experience. The finished work is what customers compliment. An April 2022 Angi reviewer had cabinets built for a kitchen and living room and called them very unique; another that same month said Lou's pricing was competitive and that he was easy to work with. Two 2020 Google reviewers kept it short — a solid cabinet maker, custom wood creations. Then there is the schedule. A customer whose account appears on Houzz in 2021 and on Angi and Google in 2022, almost word for word each time, wrote that a project promised in five weeks took six months, that Lou Zanelli missed his own committed deadlines, and that they eventually hired an attorney to ask him to finish within a specified timeframe or refund their advance. Google shows 3.8 from four ratings, Angi 3.5 from three, and Houzz 3.0 from two. Worth a call if you want cabinetry built to your room rather than ordered from a catalogue. Put the delivery date in the contract with a remedy attached if it slips, keep the advance payment modest, and ask to see a kitchen he finished recently before you sign.

Very unprofessional. Mr. Lou Zanelli consistently missed his own committed deadlines. Project that was supposed to be delivered in 5 weeks took 6 months. Eventually we had to hire an attorney asking Mr. Zanelli to finish the project in a specified timeframe or refund all our advance payments. Lexington, MA
