Project of the Week May 24th, 2012 – family room designs


family room designs

“We had a built-In already completed in our family room but were never pleased with it, we kept running across Appleton Renovations ad and were amazed of the transformations they performed on homes similar to ours… after a lot of debate of starting  over we decided to get a design consultation and wow, Ken was able to provide us with several options with stunning appeal.

We proceeded to get multiple quotes but none compared… One of the big factors in our decision making was Appleton Renovations was able to provide a Full Turn-key solution which entailed a Custom Cabinet, Home Theater, Masonry & Finishing, we only had to decide on a color and what stone to use.   Ken engineered a Theater solution that is simply amazing and easy to use and the final results are stunning!

Project of the Week – May 18th, 2012 – Living room


A before and after picture of a living room with fireplace.We were struggling to get better utilization out of our living room and had limitations due to Fireplace and window locations. 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.

In addition to building a beautiful Built-In they designed us the most amazing 70†LED Theater Solution with a one touch remote that’s make usage extremely easy
to navigate our Home Theater system, It is just beautiful!

Project of the Week May 11th, 2012


Originally back in 2005 we had our built-in and flat screen installed and never really felt satisfied with the out come but the price was within our budget, we considered doing our Entertainment Center again over the years but were so displeased with the services we had received the first time we were reluctant to consider doing it again.  We had seen Appleton Renovations ads over the years and always admired the before and after examples they displayed but didn’t think we could achieve the same look considering our layout… curiosity finally got the best of us so we decided to call Appleton Renovations to see what could be done and to my surprise Ken advised we could transform our
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!

Project of the Week May 4th, 2012 – Amazing Home Theater


We had been recommended Appleton Renovations by another contractor advising they are one of the few recommendations they offer and boy were they spot on, Ken Appleton came in for a design consultation and designed the perfect solution.  To be safe we went ahead and entertained additional quotes from other cabinet builders but soon discovered many limitations in design and expertise as it pertained to a full turn-key solution.  Appleton Renovations specializes in BOTH Home Theater and Custom Cabinetry and gave us a great comfort that they could be a one stop shop. We are very happy with the craftsmanship of our built-In and the amazing Home Theater solution.  The entire project went flawless and was completed on time as promised, you just don’t see this type of professionalism these days. Thank you Appleton Renovations for a great experience, we will recommend you to all our friends and family.“We are so excited about the transformation to our Master Bedroom, the Entertainment center and dresser really complete the room and the Theater solution looks and sounds great…
