Our Clients Love Cabinet IQ

5 out of 5 stars

We had gotten a number of estimates/plans for our kitchen renovation project. We had just about given up on the idea - we weren't excited about any of the plans/companies we had met with. It was only after meeting with Cabinet IQ of Ann Arbor that we finally moved forward with our renovation. From the first meeting thorough demo and install to the last touchups, the entire Cabinet IQ team was amazing. They took their time and redesigned out space a few times until we got it right. They were responsive to questions, helpful with advice and generally wonderful to work with. They coordinated the entire project so we had a single point of contact and communication was amazing. I would recommend Cabinet IQ to anyone looking to do home renovation project!

Shannon helped me design my half bath and laundry room. She really paid attention to the details and what I wanted. They were small spaces, but she was able to update them and make them more functional. I look forward to working with her on future projects in my home!

5 out of 5 stars

I loved working with Erin and the team at Cabinet IQ on my recent home project. The designers were so approachable and had really great ideas that focused on the lifestyle needs of my family. What impressed me most though was the customer service. The team was always timely with communication and guided us through important project milestones.

When I needed a kitchen redesign, I knew to go to Erin and Mike at Cabinet IQ. They thought through every detail that I as a busy mom would appreciate. Many things that I didn't realize I would want or need. There is not a thing I would change, and their knowledge and passion for producing a kitchen I would love, and use every day, was forefront in their minds. Always attentive and responsive, highly recommend!

Erin and Mike thoroughly understood my vision for a new kitchen and helped realize it! Each of them brings different strengths in the business, and I think they are a great team. I find their prices fair too. They not only treated me as a friend, but they also treated my money as if it was their own. I am very happy with the outcome and feel grateful for all their work!

Countertop Materials

Granite, quartzite, and marble are all popular choices for kitchen countertops, each offering unique benefits. Each material offers a blend of style and functionality, but the choice depends on your priorities in terms of durability, maintenance, and design.

Marble countertops

MarbleCountertops

Known for their luxurious aesthetic and classic appeal, with beautiful, distinct veining and a smooth, cool surface ideal for baking. Marble is more susceptible to scratches, stains, and etching, so it needs more maintenance than granite and quartzite.

Quartzite countertops

QuartziteCountertops

Similar to granite in durability but even harder and more heat-resistant. They have a stunning, natural look with unique veining, often resembling marble, but are much more durable and less prone to damage.

Granite countertops

GraniteCountertops

Highly durable, resistant to scratches and heat, and available in a wide variety of colors and patterns, making them a versatile choice for any kitchen.
