Thinking we would have to use the adjacent wall to the fireplace we then decided to contact several custom cabinet shops and simply were not all that impressed with the designs being presented…  Almost giving up hope we then had one more company to bid and it was Appleton Renovations and to our surprise Ken was able to completely transform our living space with a fresh and desirable solution.  The results are simply amazing, so happy we found Appleton Renovations, we now have a model like home.

area into something similar to the ad and within minutes sketched us an example that we instantly loved!

We are now finished and completely blown away by how beautiful our Family room has been transformed, it’s now like a model home…!  What’s funny is as we filed our  paperwork we found  Appleton Renovations ad from 2005, if we had simply selected them in the first place we would have already been enjoying our built-in for the past seven years.

If you are looking for professionalism in every degree then Appleton Renovations is the answer.  We will definitely use them again and recommend them to our family and friends.  Thank you Appleton Renovations for transforming our home and restoring our faith in Contractors!

Thank you Appleton Renovations for a great experience, we will recommend you to all our friends and family.

We contacted Appleton for a Design Consultation and loved the ideas and conceptual drawing Ken Appleton provided. Our project is now completed and we are just stunned by how our living room has been transformed into a master piece!   The Appleton Renovation team are very professional and fast, if you are looking for quality… then  Appleton Renovations is your full turn-key service provider!

Thank you Appleton Renovations for transforming our home, you’re the best!”

I had originally planned to go with a Pottery Barn solution but by the time I totaled up all the components needed for my needs the cost was several thousand dollars, my sister advised I should consider going with a custom cabinet solution but figured it would be too expensive but after reviewing our desires with Ken we were able to come up with a solution that met my budget, so happy with our decision.  We also purchased a Home Theater Solution with 3D and frankly I didn’t believe I would appreciate it but after watching a demo of Avatar in 3D I was blown away!  If you are looking for professional results hire Appleton Renovations.”

Many just wanted to put another cabinet in our existing niche and none had even considered removing portions of the wall. I asked neighbors if they had any recommendations and to my surprise Appleton Renovations had done 7 of my neighbors homes. All I can say is WOW! Ken Appleton came in thinking outside the box and within minutes had drawn up a design that knocked us off our feet. I highly recommend them, very professional team!

My wife and I just moved into a new home and wanted to make some upgrades. We found Appleton Renovations on Angles list and were pleasantly surprised to see that they were a One-Stop-Shop and had great ratings and customer reviews. We proceeded to contact Appleton Renovations for a design consultation. Ken Appleton is sincerely a unique master of his trade. He presented fresh designs we had not even realized were possible. He was honest, not pushy, very punctual on his timing for the project, and just an all around great person to work with. The team was very professional and knowledgeable in every aspect of our project. I’ve dealt with other builders before and Appleton Renovations exceeded all my expectations! To give you an example, every day that I would come home from work there was never tools randomly lying around in our way, sawdust or debris from their wood workings, and very thought out planning on my project. These guys were Impressively diligent and perfectionists in every thing they touched. We had Appleton Renovations Build an Entertainment Center, Home Theater, Murphy Bed, Crown Molding and Lighting. We are SO PLEASED!

Our home feels like a model home!” The experience was phenomenal. They stayed on schedule. Did not go to “other jobs” like so many other builders do. Everything they presented was in an organized fashion. With the designs Ken presented in the beginning, I truly had a vision of what they were going to build, and it was really fun watching them create it. They would always respond to my emails, calls, questions etc. I can’t say enough about Ken and his crew.
