2 Cabinet Girls
Chooz Score Insights
At the time of our analysis, 2 Cabinet Girls held over 110 Google reviews with a 4.8-star rating, along with 96% recommended on Facebook across over 20 reviews, 5.0 stars on Angi across 3 reviews, and 3.4 stars on Yelp across 10 reviews. Google and Facebook carry nearly all of the review volume, and the Yelp rating sits well below the others on a far smaller sample.
The company earned a Chooz Score of 86.4/100. Over 20 of the reviews we analyzed were posted in the year before our analysis, including several in the final three months. It has operated in Apex for over ten years and is now owned by Sandra Wood, who took over from the company's founder. The women-owned business works from a shop on Olive Chapel Road in Apex and paints cabinets only, serving Raleigh, Cary, Durham, and the surrounding Triangle communities.
Communication and schedule adherence are the two qualities reviewers mention most, with at least ten describing crews that arrived when promised and finished on the stated timeline. Several reviewers describe the same sequence, with doors and drawer fronts removed and sprayed at the company's shop while the frames are painted in the home. Only the doors and drawer fronts leave the house, so the on-site work is limited to the cabinet frames. Owner replies appear under most of the reviews we analyzed. The main criticism in our sample concerns finish durability, which we cover below.
"They outlined to us what the exact process would be and the timeframe of when the project would be started and completed. The cabinet doors and drawer fronts were removed and taken to their facility to be sprayed while the balance of the work was done on site. The team acted professionally and took extreme care to protect our floors, counters and appliances." - Linda S., Google Review
Advice For Future Customers
One reviewer notes she was not told clearly how to prepare her kitchen before the crew arrived, so ask for a written prep list when you book. Reviewers who met the company's decorator before choosing a color describe an easier decision, and that visit is worth requesting. On durability, one reviewer describes chipping on a project completed under the previous ownership, and the current owner's reply points to a changed process without describing a remedy. Ask them directly: "If the finish chips after the job, what does your warranty cover?"
"Soon after the cabinets were painted (within weeks) they started chipping. They came out and touched them up, fine for a few more weeks." - Brandon P., Google Review

Additional Questions Answered
How does 2 Cabinet Girls' dual painting method actually work for cabinet projects?
Crews remove all cabinet doors and drawer fronts, transporting them to the shop for professional spray painting in a dust-free booth. Meanwhile, homeowners choose between handpainted frames (keeping full kitchen access) or on-site spray with a protective bubble. Phil notes the shop work produced "a factory finish" on aged oak doors, while Susan describes watching the on-site crew's "tedious attention to detail" during frame preparation and painting.
Does 2 Cabinet Girls specialize in refinishing difficult oak cabinets?
Multiple customers specifically praise oak cabinet transformations. Susan's 30-year-old red oak-stained cabinets received extensive prep including sanding and wood filler application, with results she describes as "so smooth and flawless" that "no one would believe these used to be stained oak cabinets." Phil's aged oak doors underwent similar transformation, and the crew demonstrated expertise handling the extra effort oak refinishing requires.
What makes 2 Cabinet Girls reliable with project schedules and timelines?
Customers consistently mention punctuality and schedule adherence. Chris needed fast turnaround for a home sale, and 2 Cabinet Girls "managed to squeeze me in and completed the job in 10 days" with the house selling the following week. Phillip notes they "dealt with our schedules well" and provided "timely responses." Projects typically complete within one week as promised.
Who will actually be working on my cabinets at 2 Cabinet Girls?
Owner Sandra Wood handles consultations and project oversight (taking over from founder Kristen in 2024). Decorator Amber assists with color selection. Project coordinator Debbie manages communication and scheduling, with customers praising her as "excellent to communicate with throughout the project." Lead painter David runs on-site work, with Susan noting he "went above and beyond in the dedication he showed to painting our cabinets."
How thorough is 2 Cabinet Girls' cleanup process after cabinet painting?
The dust-free process protects surrounding areas throughout projects. Susan mentions crews showing "tedious attention to detail and focus on every aspect of their process" including cleanup, with multiple customers noting properties left "cleaner than when they started." The shop-based door spraying eliminates paint clouds and overspray in homes, while on-site protection includes floor covering and furniture safeguarding.
Does 2 Cabinet Girls stand behind their work after project completion?
Current owner Sandra Wood (since 2024) emphasizes quality and customer satisfaction, personally ensuring projects meet standards. When issues arise, the team returns to address them. Susan requested additional work twice after countertop installation for caulking and edge finishing, which crews handled promptly. Karen describes the experience as "great customer service and communication from start to finish."
What happened with 2 Cabinet Girls' quality issues mentioned in older reviews?
Brandon's 2018 review describes chipping and peeling paint within weeks of completion. The company acknowledged this issue, noting "2 Cabinet Girls has a new owner since 2024, Sandra Wood" and stating they "have changed and improved our product and process." Current reviews from 2024-2025 show consistently positive feedback with no chipping complaints, suggesting the ownership change and process improvements resolved previous quality concerns.
