Ken and his son, Austin did a fabulous job on our cabinets! They were very professional and always showed up on time, if not early! The cabinets are beautiful and we love them! Thanks for putting up with our excitable Dogs! We would definitely recommend them to everyone! Thanks again! Mark and Cathy Shaffer

We are very impressed by the work
Mr Appleton and his son make at our home. The hard and high quality of work, timeline, material and high technology definition are amazing. Everything is done on time to the start to the end and perfect. Mr Appleton take the time and explain everything to us for how to use the home theater systems. He gave a binder (that includes all paper materials warranty) with all instructions he made by himself to be more understanding. Everything is detailed with precision. Its nice to see father and son working together. We thank you Mr Appleton and his son for

Ken Appleton and his son did an amazing job remodeling our family room. From start to finish Ken scheduled and managed the job professionally, on-time, within budget, and the end result was even better than we expected. Ken wasn't the lowest quote we received but he was the only person that could achieve the end result we wanted, so at the end of the day, quality over cost matters more than anything. I highly recommend Appleton Renovations!

Ken and son are true pros and did a very nice entertainment center for us to match a new bigger TV. The new center is a significant upgrade in wood and workmanship quality. Ken was willing to work with me on my specific needs for incorporating my somewhat unique sound system, and we're very pleased with the result.
Ken and his son did a great job, and their parthers finished up nicely with stonework and painting. Highly recommended.

Service, Quality, On Time, Communication, Friendliness, Design Options, Overall Satisfaction all 10/10. I chose Appleton Renovations because I wanted to meet or exceed the quality of the builder’s built-in for the model home for my model. There were no seams and materials were much better than what the builder showcased in the model. The fireplace option was a huge upgrade and met code.
I’d like to personally thank Ken and his team for excellent work.

Ken from Appleton Renovations is the BEST! He builds high quality cabinets, does quality TV/Audio work, and is a quality kind of guy guy! I think he is a magician/technician and can figure ANYTHING out! Ken doesn’t leave until the job is done ✅ right and works with a smile! His wife Linda always gets back to you and returns all calls! They are a great team and with their son run an honest and incredible company!!! Thanks Ken for doing such a great job!!!

We couldnt be happier with our entertainment wall! From the day Ken came out to quote the project to the finishing touches of connecting all the electronics...it was pure professionalism. Any questions and concerns were addressed quickly . The work was completed exactly to the proposed schedule...this had NEVER happened to us before!! Such a pleasant surprise! Looking forward to our next project with Ken and Austin. Highly highly recommend Appleton Renovations !
