What people are saying about us

5 out of 5 stars

Absolutely outstanding experience with our kitchen remodel at Cabinet IQ! We wanted to modernize our kitchen with a custom European look and needed a company close to us in Great Falls. From the very first design consultation through material selection and the seamless, timely installation, the entire process was handled with exceptional professionalism and care. The team spent a lot of time with us getting every detail right and carefully refining the layout, making the whole experience feel effortless and well-managed. Monica, the owner, was truly hands-on throughout. She stayed closely involved with her team to ensure a timely and professional outcome that exceeded our expectations. We’re extremely happy with their service and thrilled with the finished kitchen — the quality, craftsmanship, and beautiful result are all top-notch. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend Cabinet IQ to any friends or family looking for a kitchen renovation done right.

We recently completed a major kitchen renovation with Cabinet IQ of Fairfax and I highly recommend them. We came in with a clear vision for the space and needed a true partner with a competent designer and build team to make it happen. They delivered exactly that. Our project was non-standard from the start. The centerpiece was an extremely large center island with a dramatic waterfall edge in Italian marble. The scale and details were ambitious, and the island needed to anchor the room both functionally and visually with seamless veining and perfect integration into the overall design. We worked directly with Monica, who provided concise direction and exceptional taste throughout. She helped refine the plan while staying true to our vision. The process ran smoothly with strong communication and real expertise. Their team handled the complexities of the oversized marble and custom elements with precision and care. The final result is outstanding. The craftsmanship on the waterfall island and surrounding cabinetry is excellent and the kitchen now feels both luxurious and highly practical for daily family use. This was work on one of our rental homes. We were so pleased with the outcome that we will definitely return to Cabinet IQ for an additional rental update when the time comes. The photo we are posting was taken while things were still in process. What impressed me most was their professional partnership approach. They solved problems proactively, maintained high standards, and stayed fully committed to our vision from start to finish. For anyone with a specific or complex project in mind, Cabinet IQ of Fairfax is an outstanding choice. We are very happy with the outcome.

I had a great experience with Cabinet IQ of Fairfax. Adil helped me from the first conversation all the way through the production process, and he was very professional, patient, and easy to communicate with. What I really appreciated was how organized everything felt from the office side to the actual work. They explained the details clearly, followed up when needed, and the final result came out clean and beautiful. You can tell they care about both the design and the workmanship. Overall, very good service, clean work, and a reliable team. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for cabinets or countertops.

We couldn't be happier with our kitchen remodel from Cabibet IQ! From the very first consultation with Monica, their team was professional, patient, and genuinely focused on understanding what we wanted, then elevating it with smart design suggestions and great attention to detail. The craftsmanship is outstanding!! They communicated clearly throughout the project, showed up when they said they would, and kept the work area as tidy as possible, something we really appreciated while living through a remodel. Any questions or small tweaks along the way were handled quickly and without hassle. The final result looks incredible and has completely changed how we use our space. If you're looking for a team that delivers high quality work and a smooth, stress free process, we highly recommend Cabibet IQ. Thank you Monica and team :)

I had an amazing experience working with Monica from Cabinet IQ for my new med spa. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, and truly cared about bringing my vision to life. The cabinets and countertops turned out beautifully, and she even checked in after installation to make sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend working with Monica!

I've known the team at Cabinet IQ in Fairfax for years now and I honestly can't recommend them enough. What stands out most is how they treat every kitchen or bath remodel like it's their own home. They're calm, super thoughtful, and incredibly dependable from the first conversation all the way through the final walkthrough. They don't just install cabinets and countertops. They really listen, take their time to do it right, and build a relationship with you that lasts long after the job is done. If you're thinking about refreshing your kitchen or bath with new cabinets, countertops, or a full remodel, these are the guys you want in your corner. They've earned my full trust because I've seen how professionally and personally they take care of their clients. Reach out to them. You'll be glad you did.
