Remodeler reviews in Kensington, Maryland

We had a great experience working with Schlomo and his team to fabricate and install a custom granite kitchen island that matched the rest of the kitchen. The extra storage has been very helpful and the island fits seamlessly into our kitchen. The install and delivery team were professional and respectful. We look forward to working with As It Should be Cabinetry on future kitchen projects.

Great quality workmanship and very detail oriented.

Great company very nice people very good price and the best job we ever seen.

Super friendly, very responsive family business. They really care about doing a good job and making things right!

Built out cabinets/shelving for several rooms in our house and we are very happy with the work!

Outstanding workmanship
Gorgeous banisters
Wonderful refinishing of our kitchen cabinetry/drawers..looks like a new kitchen

Had an excellent experience with them. Cabinets came out great and all of their workers were professional, neat, hardworking. Only wanted to please us—highly recommend!

As it Should Be Cabinetry and Builders makes high quality, beautiful cabinetry. They are helpful with the design process and will work with you to ensure you are happy with the finished product.

AISB did a wonderful job of designing and building new cabinets for our mudroom. They were responsive to our needs and had smart ideas of their own. The quality is excellent. AISB is a local, family business. They completed our project in less than half the time of the "national brand." They were a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend.

Shlomo Assaraf evaluated the problem with our old cabinets and provided a solution that corrected the issue at a reasonable price. He was clear about the steps to repair the problem and didn't try to sell us on replacing the cabinets. Very professional throughout the entire process. Would certainly call them again.

I can’t say enough nice things about the quality of the work performed by As It Should Be.

Years ago, much to our amazement, Shlomo and his team duplicated, to the smallest detail, a fireplace mantle which my wife and I had seen in an architectural magazine; in addition, the team created cabinet spaces in our apartment which totally transformed two rooms; this was very significant, because we had downsized from a large house in the suburbs, and storage was at a premium.

Several years later As It Should Be duplicated this performance at my son and daughter in laws home by creating a large bookcase/entertainment system which transformed their television/living room into something special.

My wife and I recently had the team return to our apartment to fabricate a piece which would have cost twice as much had we gone somewhere else, and we couldn’t be more pleased.

As It Should Be delivers.

Shlomi Assaraf is a true artisan. He is very personable and has a tremendous commitment to making everything perfect and to your exact specifications without sacrificing quality and creativity. We loved working with Shlomi and his whole team to help make our very complicated project come to life. I highly recommend As It Should Be Cabinetry for anyone committed to true workmanship and perfection.

“As it Should Be Cabinetry” is exactly as it should be—for every detail, quality of product, artistry, commitment, professionalism—coupled with kindness, honesty, outstanding personal service, and a great team gives this company a five stars plus!
Shlomo has added beautiful finishes to our homes for well over twenty years…from a custom family room, fireplace mantle, study furniture, an entire Murphy bed suite, a corner entry way table, writing desk, window seat, show-stopping credenza…and together with Kobi, As It Should Be tops the list of custom furniture artisans… perfection and satisfaction from beginning to end!

Over 20 years ago,As It Should Be designed and installed custom cabinets, book shelves, and a curved bench for our kitchen and family room. They are still incredibly beautiful and have stood up to a LOT of use and , honestly, not the most meticulous care, with kids and housekeepers and us all having different cleaning approaches. I still smile every time I step into my kitchen. What's more, they stand by their work. Today, Mr. Assaraf, who originally designed and oversaw the cabinetry being built and installed, came by at my request to look at some areas showing wear. He was gracious, offered me a range of approaches, and did not in any way "push" for more expensive interventions, in fact recommending I start with some things we could do ourselves. I cannot recommend As It Should be more highly-- would give them 6 stars if that were an option!

Working with ASB Cabinetry was a great experience - they are expert carpenters ready to take on any challenge. Our old rowhouse has the usual non-standard dimensions for doors, windows, and other woodwork. The ASB team help us find the right solutions for our space that provided modern convenience while matching the house's style. They then spent the time to adjust and meld the work into the house, giving it a seamless original look. Great service, expert work, and a great price; we will absolutely use them again!

Great experience, family owned, very professional, detail oriented. Shortly after moving into my new condo, I decided to reconfigure my kitchen and update my appliances. As It Should Be Cabinetry helped me add additional storage with a lower cabinet (three drawers - two small, one large) with a butcher block counter top. I love it, I can fit all of my sauté/frying pans in the large drawer. Then I had them add storage above and along the side of refrigerator which added an amazing amount of addition storage along with a place to store/charge my stick vac. Both pieces are well made and they added details so that the new items would blend in with my older cabinets.

Perfection, ability to understand needs and turn them into a very functioning creation. When they walked into our kitchen they spotted things we never even noticed that offered great improvement over our existing kitchen. Very clean work. We will always use them and highly recommend them!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Shlomo, Felipe, and the other folks with whom they work. I've had them do both large and small jobs, and everything they've done has been superb. They worked with us to renovate an entire room from a bare, concrete-floor workshop to a beautiful living room, complete with wet bar, that expanded our living space by about 420 square feet. They've handled electrical, plumbing, masonry, paint work, and cabinetry. (And their cabinetry is truly extraordinary--like a work of art.) They replaced our old hot water tank with a new tankless system that required the addition of three circuits, snaking conduit through walls, extensive plumbing, and somehow managing to remove a large tank from a tiny crawlspace with an opening that was far smaller than the tank (still not sure how they did that). And they are extremely trustworthy. It is rare to have such an unqualifiedly great experience with a builder and to come out of it with the feeling that you've gotten exactly what you wanted, at a fair price, with folks who really pay attention to detail and who make sure the customer is fully satisfied. That has been my experience with Shlomo and Felipe.

I highly recommend As It Should Be Cabinetry! They did a beautiful job updating our kitchen cabinets: installing a new cabinet door that had broken, repairing a drawer and door that had split, and installing new hinges on all of our cupboards. They are friendly, honest, kind, hard working, and communicate well. I would recommend them to any friend or family member and if there is ever a need, we will be calling them again!

The first thought we had after As It Should Be Cabinetry finished making and installing two new custom cabinetry units for our house was: What can we hire them to build for us next?

We had a wonderful experience from start to finish with As It Should Be. Shlomo and Kobi responded quickly to our initial email, spent ample time working with us to design and refine our plan, walked us through every step of the process, patiently fielded our questions and incorporated our last-minute revisions, and ensured the installation process went smoothly and quickly.

The quality of their work is superb. Our new built-in cabinets in the kitchen and living room have transformed those spaces. They've also provided us with a lot more storage. Their pricing was fair and competitive. We feel like we got more than our money's worth given the quality of the product and service.

Can't recommend As It Should Be highly enough.

Shlomi and his wonderful team just completed two beautiful built in wall systems in our bedroom. The results are life changing. The room is brighter, better organized and now a very calming space. Looking forward to our next project!
