Tyler was incredibly friendly and generous with his time, welcoming me into the shop and walking me through the business and how they operate. As a woodworker myself, I can confidently say their shop is one of the cleanest and most efficient I’ve seen, and it’s clear they take great pride in producing high-quality products. They use sustainable practices and foster a positive, quality work environment. It was a genuine pleasure talking with Tyler and getting to tour the shop.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of working with Byron Broadhead and Wes Togashi at Smith and Valle during my remodel in the San Juan Islands, and I can confidently say that their work exceeded all expectations. We specifically sought out grain-matched riff-cut white oak cabinets, a request that proved challenging for many cabinet makers. Smith and Valle not only assured us of their ability to deliver, but also provided numerous examples of stunning installations, which gave us great confidence in their expertise. The quality of craftsmanship and materials was truly remarkable. Before construction began, Smith and Valle allowed us to review sheets of veneer to ensure the finished kitchen would be exactly as we envisioned. When the cabinets arrived, it was evident they had thoughtfully selected the perfect sheets for each area of our home. Detailed plans, clear labeling, sturdy hardware, and meticulously crafted supports made installation seamless—even for our finish carpenter working solo. Several standout features impressed us, particularly the flawless grain and sheet matching. My finish carpenter was vocal about the exceptional quality and attention to detail that went into the package. Smith and Valle included plenty of extra parts and trim, which allowed for a clean and precise installation. The abundance of trim pieces made it easy to scribe against floors and walls for a custom fit. Throughout the project, communication and professionalism were outstanding. The design process was straightforward and efficient, and the team was responsive to our feedback, making accurate adjustments along the way. Their creative solutions for tricky angled walls demonstrated true ingenuity and added unique touches to our space. Smith and Valle delivered everything on time and within our budget expectations. The quote remained fixed throughout the project, and they accommodated additions and removals without hidden fees or unnecessary charges. Once the project acceptance date was set, they delivered right on schedule. During the remodel, we encountered an unexpected need for extra structural support on a countertop overhang. Smith and Valle responded promptly, completing a one-day turnaround to trim doors and supply the necessary trim for the new structure. The adjustments were seamless, and our timeline was never compromised. After eight months of daily use, the finished cabinets continue to perform perfectly, requiring no adjustments. The final product has far exceeded our expectations and has truly elevated our home. I wholeheartedly recommend Smith and Valle to anyone considering a remodel or custom cabinetry project. Supporting local craftsmanship has never felt more rewarding, and I am confident others will have an equally positive experience.

I saw this shop as I was wandering nearby, and decided to peek in. I was so impressed with their quality! Everything had finely crafted joinery and beautiful silky finishes! Many decades ago I worked in a cabinet shop and was enticed to get a closer look at this shop to remember that time. I highly recommend them!!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We decided to go with Smith & Vallee after touring their shop and seeing how their cabinets are made and the quality built in throughout the entire process. Byron came to our house to get accurate measurements and discuss layout and options. He was very thorough and had several excellent suggestions, which we are very happy that we took. We had them installed by a craftsman recommended by Smith & Vallee, who did an excellent job fitting everything together. Our kitchen turned out beautifully and we very, very happy with the cabinetry. We recommend Smith & Vallee without reservation.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In 2017, we remodeled our master and hall bathrooms using Smith & Valle cabinets, and they have proven to be the best choice. They remain beautiful and durable; even after eight years, they still look brand new. The craftsmanship is the highest quality as many have noted; they do not cut corners. Earlier this year, we began converting our laundry room into a scullery and only considered Smith & Valle for the cabinetry. Byron went above and beyond in coordinating with our installer and communicating the specifications for the floating shelves. He also ensured the cabinet design integrated seamlessly with the appliances and sink.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent cabinet shop run under Japanese-Toyota best practices in the heart of North Edison. Knowledgeable and super gracious staff. Beautiful work. Can’t recommend their knowledge and expertise enough.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love the custom cabinets Smith & Vallee made for our kitchen. Great local company to work with, highly recommended!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Smith & Vallee about crafting my dream kitchen after I saw their work featured in Dwell Magazine. I couldn't be happier with every stage of the process. The designer Byron was receptive to my ideas and offered lots of good input. There was excellent attention to detail in design and construction and good communication along the way. It was evident from the start that I was working with people of integrity committed to their craft. The cabinets were completed in a short time frame and were packaged so well we had no damage on the barge to Alaska. My installer remarked on how well made the cabinets were and my builder -- who had discouraged me from working with an out-of-state company -- called to tell me how much he liked the cabinets and said he would definitely order from Smith & Vallee again. A good experience all around! Thank you to everyone involved.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such a fantastic experience working with Smith & Vallee—especially Aric. The craftsmanship on our cabinets is absolutely stunning, and the quality speaks for itself. But just as important, the entire process was smooth, collaborative, and professional from start to finish. Aric was responsive, thoughtful, and clearly takes pride in both the product and the team behind it. We couldn't be happier with the end result. Highly, highly recommend!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
