Project of the Week September 21st, 2012 – existing entertainment center


“After purchasing our home we concluded that our existing entertainment center really needed an update, we had actually looked at Pintrest for Custom Cabinet ideas and to our pleasant surprise  we found the perfect solution from Appleton Renovations and as it turned out they were in our city of Trabuco Canyon.   We contacted Appleton  Renovations for a design consultation and to our surprise Ken had fresh perspectives as to what could be done in our family room. At first we wanted the TV over the fireplace and Ken advised it would be best for our configuration to place it next the fireplace… we were still a little reluctant and so Ken actually invited us to his home to see a very  similar configuration, once we seen his work in person we were sold on Ken’s vision! Now that it’s completed we are SO PLEASED!  Our Family room feels huge!  We have  many more projects in mind and will certainly be contacting Appleton Renovationsâ€

Project of the Week September 14th, 2012 – family room entertainment


Recently we purchased our home in Ladera Ranch and were a bit perplexed on what to do with our family room entertainment, our niche was to small for a decent size TV and we were not sure about placement over the fireplace… We did a Google search and found Appleton Renovations and a few other companies and the reason we went with Appleton is because of their vision of what could be done and they happen to be a full turn-key provider of both Home Theater & Custom Cabinetry.  In addition Ken really helped us understand the benefit to hiding all the Home Theater Equipment and assured us that placing the TV over fireplace wouldn’t be a strain on our neck. He was right, placement is perfect for family room entertainment.

Lastly, they were very professional from the beginning to the end explaining every aspect of the project and they finished on time…  WE Highly recommend Appleton Renovations Team!

Project of the Week September 7th, 2012 – home theater systems


For years we have wanted to update our 1970’s home and liked the idea of having our own Home Theater systems.

We had seen HDTV’s placed over the fireplace but having a brick fireplace that extended to the ceiling we didn’t feel this would be an option.  We Goggled “Custom Built-Ins Orange County†and came across Appleton Renovations and were very impressed with their designs so we set up a FREE design consultation with Ken Appleton and within 5 minutes Ken was able to show us projects he had done nearly exactly the same as ours.  The next day we received the most impressive detailed proposal outlining a FULL TURN-KEY solution from a custom built-In, lighting and a Home Theater that matched our budget and exceeded our expectations.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with such a professionally run company from the first phone call, the craftsman that fabricated everything to the follow up when completed.  Our Home Theater is very easy to operate and saves us a lot of money from not having to leave our home to enjoy a movie, now our friends all come over for a night of entertainment.

If your looking for satisfaction… Appleton Renovations delivers!

Appleton renovations California- Project of the Week August 31st, 2012


Appleton renovations California

simply amazing quality and professionalism! We have had our entire home renovated this summer and soon discovered that Appleton did many of the trades we had hired others to do except Appleton was not only better in quality they were 10x faster, we actually fired a couple contractors to have Appleton take over… Here’s the most surprising thing, another company quoted $19,000 for a cabinet that Appleton Renovations ended up doing for $6,500.  As a result we were able to have Three built-Ins completed for the same price as original bid!  We are so pleased.  Lastly the Home Theaters they installed ROCKS our house!

If you have always dreamed of having a model home, contact appleton renovations for your FREE in home design consultation. We are so excited about the transformation to our Master Bedroom, the Entertainment center and dresser really completes the room and the Theater solution looks and sounds great.
