“We found Appleton Renovations on Angies List, we did get another quote for our Custom Entertainment Center and Home Theater elsewhere just to make sure we were covering our bases and making the right choice. I have to say Appleton Renovations gave us a very fair price for what we are expecting. And I really like that their entertainment center service handles all the details. The project is now completed and they executed flawlessly… Project started on time and finished on time with absolutely no issues, rare to find such professionalism these days but with Appleton Renovations we found it and will highly recommend them to family & friends.â€

“Wow what a transformation! 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.â€

They are a pleasure to deal with and I wish that other people were as gracious and hospitable as Ken Appleton. He is sensational. I cannot speak higher of anybody who has ever come to work for us. We have moved around the country and been to many states and this is by far the very best. They were very punctual. If they say they are going to be here at 9 O’clock they are here at 9 O’clock not 9:01. The owner of the company Ken Appleton who did the work is just a magnificent man who did a magnificent job.
We will use them in the future.

We had requested several quotes from Custom Cabinet makers and one by one they all came up short in designing an area that met our expectations. 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!

MURPHY BED (Stage 1 of 2)

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.
