Testimonials

"Mike built a custom vanity for us in the workmanship could not have been any better. They use only the best hardwoods on the vanity and all drawers and cabinrts come with soft close. I cannot say enough about the paint and finish it's as smooth as glass. This is craftsmanship the way it was done many years ago, this is furniture that will last a lifetime. Everything is on schedule and on time and the installation is very professional."

"Mike and LeeAnn Papola are the real deal; don't hesitate to call them for your woodworking needs! The quality of Mike's work is excellent; the prices are reasonable; and LeeAnn runs a very professional and customer-friendly office and staff. Mike provided excellent guidance as we determined our needs, and the quality of his design and work is truly impressive. We feel the work he did (two large custom book cases, a barn door for an open room, and a kitchen pantry) has really added to the enjoyment we get out of our home! I wish we had done it years ago! 5 stars from me. This is a top notch operation."

"Mike Papola came highly recommended from our construction manager. Our project had a large amount of cabinets, closets, vanities, drawers etc.... Professional and on time installation. I was amazed at the ability to move huge closet pieces into the house. We had a few extra requests after install and Mike showed up and handled all of them on the spot. Will definitely use him on future projects."

"Perfect! That is how we describe our complete experience with Mike and his entire team! We could not be happier with the custom bookcases built for our living room. The design process, construction time-frame, detailed craftsmanship, great value and precise installation were all outstanding. We contacted Mike after seeing the beautiful book cases he built for a close friend in our neighborhood and are so happy we did!"

"We hired Mike Papola and his excellent team to design and build cabinetry for our custom home. Mike made many helpful suggestions during the process, improving the design. Working with a local company meant not only a custom product but also close coordination and accommodation with the general contractor's construction schedule. We appreciated the care taken with installation, office communication/responsiveness and the beautiful final result. We'd use Mike Papola Custom Cabinetry for any future projects. Mike, LeeAnn, Josh and the rest of the team: Thank you!"

"I had the pleasure of working with Mike Papola on a Sonoma County fire re-build. The home was partially ruined in the tubs fire. Initially we were attempting to stain the existing cabinetry in a nearly 6000 sqft home, however we quickly realized the smoke odor was not eliminated by the remediation company. Mike came in, met with myself (the designer), the homeowner, the contractor and the painter. He bid out the entire project, met with us on numerous occasions, including at his office to clarify the project would meet the design specifications and "look" we were going for, Mike and his staff were readily available to provide answers both in email and text promptly. The project was extensive, complete with a butler pantry, kitchen with two islands, a wine room and bar extended off the eating area, a built in bookcase surround, laundry room, master Walk in closet and 5 bathrooms. We changed the previous built in desk into a wine room, opened up the book cases (which previously covered windows), it was important from a design perspective to be certain we had our finish back at the island (which Mike took care of) and the pieces attaching the bookcases as one unit over the window. MIke was helpful in allowing me to work directly with the finisher to create a custom stain suited to the project, when we had a bit of a snafu with the wood not taking the stain properly, MIke was on it, no questions asked. He came back, picked up the doors, got them to the finisher, working hard to please the client with the final finish. In addition to building the cabinets, they installed them, packaging an acceptable price for the Insurance company and the homeowner, saving us the time in getting someone else to do the installation. Our overall experience with Mike and team was Excellent. I am looking forward to working with him on future projects.!"

"Mike Papola and his entire team were a pleasure to work with. Not only was their work beautiful and flawless, but they were easy to communicate with and took pride in their work. Mike was able to replace drawers made by another company to fit specific measurements we needed, and this was apart from the cabinetry he was making for us. LeeAnn in the office was always informed and helpful in scheduling everything. Our built in wall of cabinets and shelves were added after a full remodel of our kitchen and family room. Mike matched the cabinets that were made by another company the previous year."
