Project of the Week April 20th, 2012 – small cabinet


“We had a friend originally come in to do a Built-In in our fireplace niche but were never really satisfied with the small cabinet simply placed in our opening… then recently we ran across Appleton Renovations ad for the Fireplace Built-In and were blown away by the transformation shown in the ad so we called them up hoping for some design ideas…  Ken Appleton sat down with us and provided a couple options and within an hour  he showed us a conceptual drawing of how our wall could be transformed.  Simply unbelievable, at first we couldn’t believe so much could fit in such a small footprint… Now that it’s completed we are SO PLEASED!  Our Family room feels huge!â€

Project of the Week April 13th, 2012


“I would consider myself to be a skilled craftsman and when I seen Appleton Renovations Fireplace Transformation I was very impressed, I toyed with the idea of doing my project myself but thought I’d see how much it would cost to have it done… I was amazed how reasonable it was and realized my time was far more valuable to me.  Now after seeing how many man hours were actually involved in performing all the aspects of this job I realized this would have taken me over 125 hours of labor, Appleton Renovations only took three days to build our fireplace Entertainment center… Amazingly fast and done very professionally.  In addition they provided us with a 70†HDTV 3D Home Theater solution that simply ROCKS!  So happy we ended up adding three other projects to our Renovation.  Our home now looks like a model home.

The Appleton Renovation – Murphy Bed Hardware used in today’s beds is state of the art. It’s a counter-balanced spring system with a lightweight frame which results in finger-tip operation. Whether you’re six or eighty-six you’re able to open and close the bed with ease.

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!

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

Design Tip: Adding Craftsman Style Wainscot and trimming the Hallway Passage Columns creates a division between Entry and Study, this adds  an elegant touch to any hallway and sets the first impression as one enters your home giving you a model home touch of class.  For more design ideas give Appleton Renovations a call at (949) 887-6764 for a Free Design Consultation with Ken Appleton or visit us at AppletonRenovations.com

“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€

Project of the Week March 23rd, 2012


“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.

Project of the week March 9th, 2012


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!
