“We met with other contractors over the course of one year in an effort to have built-Ins done including a Home Theater and were unable to find anyone that could handle both sides of our project, we found cabinet companies but they couldn’t handle the electronics and Home theater companies that couldn’t do the Woodwork… We felt it was important to have both scopes managed at the same time.

We contacted Appleton Renovations for a design consultation and to our surprise they handled a full turn-key solution,  Ken had fresh ideas as to what The Appleton Renovation – Murphy Bed Hardware used in today’s beds is state of the art.

Project of the Week October 21st, 2011


We have had Appleton Renovations do built-Ins in our office and wanted to also
update our old White Kitchen cabinets. We contacted companies that simply did
cabinet re-facing and were surprised as to how expensive they were…($20k) In Speaking with Ken we learned that we could simply Replace the Doors and hardware and add wainscot to our Island to revamp our kitchen at a fraction of the cost… the results are stunning! We SAVED $15,000 by taking Kens Recommendation.

Appleton Renovations is fabulous. They were absolutely excellent & superb. We could not find better people.  The price was a little more than I expected to spend but it was well worth it. We have a 31 year old home and when we bought it, it was a mess. Needless to say there was nothing there, nothing at all. What Appleton Renovations built  makes our home look like a queen’s palace. It is absolutely gorgeous and I could not be happier. Ken came out for a free design consultation and showed us a number of options way beyond our expectation then presented one of the most thorough proposals I have ever seen. Ken did absolutely everything so precise to the letter of law.

We highly recommend Appleton Renovations to all our family & friends!

Recently we had Appleton Renovations modify our family room… Wow what an amazing transformation! Our Renovation included an Entertainment Center complete with a new 60 inch LED – SAMSUNG Smart HDTV, with full 3D and Blu-Ray DVD technology. The speaker system includes a large Sub-Woofer speaker plus five (5) eight inch (100 watt) speakers in the ceiling. It is flanked by new cabinets with Xeon Lighting and a fireplace with a Ledger Stone facing. While we were at it, we also had them include the installation of a crown molding in the family room and dining nook.

65″ Home Theater Solution

Appleton Renovations… 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!

“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€
