Vermont Cabinetworks

Apr 2025

Our house was totally transformed by the quality of Nick and Pete's work. That's the short version. We can't recommend them enough as a partner.

With their help we renovated the kitchen and dining room of our 100 year old home in Richmond. We took out the old kitchen (down to the studs) and removed a wall between it and the dining room. The resulting layout was quite tricky to work with given the number of windows and entryways around the perimeter of the space. Yet, Nick's custom cabinets and their outstanding quality look so at home and natural in the house that people who visit assume that it's always looked this way. That's no accident, they worked diligently...read full review

Nick is the ultimate craftsman and a true artisan! We have worked with him for two projects (a full kitchen build and a dining built in) and he takes the same care for all of this work regardless of the size. He worked tirelessly to make sure our visions came to life exactly as we wanted. His attention to detail is amazing and it shows throughout his work, we will enjoy his craftmanship for many many years to come. We would highly recommend him for any upcoming projects you might have.

Spoiler alert: this is a glowing review of Nick Brooks and Vermont Cabinetworks. Between October 2016 and November 2017 Nick oversaw a to-the-studs renovation of our home in Richmond Village. Nick and his team converted a 1,500 SF three-bedroom “fixer upper”--a generous term for the starting point--built in 1900 into a timeless, human-centered, highly efficient home we will enjoy for years. Here's what sets Nick and Vermont Cabinetworks apart: Caring: Nick's remarkable commitment to our satisfaction defined our collaboration. He's invested in the long-term happiness of his clients, and from the very beginning of our work together (and even before we had a contract) Nick engaged us as co-creators of the finished product. It was choosing colors and materials, sure, but more importantly it's the little things that went far beyond our expectations, from calling on the first cold snap of winter to see how the house was doing, to coming back to the property after closing to help us install closet shelving, to acting as our unofficial ambassador to town. Craftsmanship: Nick is a perfectionist, and his high standards pervade his work. The curb appeal of the house is obvious the moment you step onto the property, but his attention to detail extends to the smallest aspects of the project. When the place was completed, we asked Nick to show us his favorite part of the structure. It was a minuscule piece of quarter-round that fit just so between two pieces of trim in a bathroom. No one but Nick will ever notice it (well, I guess we will too now) but it had to be just right to meet his standards. There's not a corner cut in the house. Intuition: Nick has a knack for marrying aesthetics and function. We've yet to find an element of the house that's not well thought out. From a kitchen layout in which we felt instantly at home, to built-in cabinets with a combination of open shelving and closed doors that allow us to display a few of our favorite pieces of art and hide the rest, to interior windows that share light and line of sight between spaces while keeping sound from bouncing through the small house, the place clicks. The relationship and finished product were so good that we feel a little jealous thinking of Nick working with other clients. But we highly recommend Nick and Vermont Cabinetworks. If you'd like to see his work in person, reach out to Nick and we'd be happy to find a time for a walk-through or can share photos.
