Owner / Designer / Installer
Hi,
I'm Raymond, owner of Homestead Cabinet Design. Thanks for visiting my website. Let me give a brief introduction to myself and my business.
I've been in the cabinet industry for over 20 years with experience in designing, building, finishing and installing custom cabinets. I worked in a high end cabinet shop for years where I gained most of my experience.
In 2019, I quit my job at the cabinet shop I had been working for and started my own business in refinishing and refacing cabinetry. I also make a lot of cabinet additions as well as completely new kitchens.
I work mostly by myself with some help from my son who is an apprentice. I don't have employees, but I do team up with other professional contractors who build cabinets for me, spray cabinet doors, and help with cabinet installations as this is often a 2 man job.
My expertise is in kitchen design, building and spraying cabinetry. I've recently collaborated with CY Cabinet painters in Westfield, MA who do a lot of my spray painting in their shop. We've worked together on a lot of projects where I provide new doors, drawers, hardware and installation, and Jim from CY Cabinet painters does the spray finishing. We make a great team, and both of us get lots of positive reviews!
We provide a high quality end product and take pride in our work. We are not the cheapest cabinet painters but rather focus on using the best products and giving attention to detail. You can Check my reviews here and see what my customers are saying - that's what matters most!
I have a Home Improvement Contractors License with the State of MA and also CT. My service radius is approximately one hour from my location in Palmer.
My business is small and I don't have a showroom. But I do bring samples to your house when you're ready for a consultation.
Best way to contact me is to fill in your info on the form at the bottom of this page. You can also call me and leave me a message.
I look forward to helping you with your next kitchen remodel project!

What our customers are saying...
If I could give six stars I would! Raymond was neat, meticulous, professional and timely. My kitchen cabinets were pretty beat up after 15 years. Raymond worked his magic with the stain as we did not want to paint them in order to still see the grain. We went with a color change and couldn’t be more satisfied. Would recommend 100%.
Response from the owner:Thank you! You have a beautiful kitchen!
We recently hired Homestead Cabinet Design for cabinet refacing in our kitchen and we could not be happier with the results. Raymond is extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the process offering suggestions since we were not sure if refacing would work for our cabinets. His craftsmanship is exceptional, and he made sure everything was installed perfectly. He was respectful of our home, keeping his work area clean and tidy throughout the project. We love our updated kitchen, thank you! -Elizabeth & Chris
Response from the owner:Thank you for leaving a review! It was a pleasure working with you!
My wife found Raymond searching for someone to update our kitchen cabinets for a house we purchased that was built in 2008 & needed a makeover.
We didn’t want the expense of replacing all of our cabinets which probably would have been double the price & much more of an inconvenience.
We had previously updated other homes & had a home built in South Carolina so we have hired many different contractors for many different renovations.
We feel that when you get the type of quality workmanship that we received it’s important to let others know just how satisfied and impressed we were with his work.
Professional, prompt and detailed.
I will just say this, Raymond is amazing craftsman, an artist of the utmost degree in his craft & we would highly recommend him to anyone considering hiring him. We were lucky to find him. Money well spent!

We worked with Raymond and Homestead Cabinet Design to refresh our kitchen cabinetry, and he did a wonderful job! He helped us on the front end of the project to make the decision to replace the cabinet doors and drawers but keep the existing cabinet boxes since they were well built, in good shape, and served our needs. We ended up deciding to modify one cabinet and replace two others due to some decisions we made, and he fit this into the program quite well. Raymond did a wonderful job throughout the entire project. He scheduled the work to accommodate the sequence of the other trades, he was extremely professional, and his work is top quality. I do not hesitate to give him the highest recommendation!
Response from the owner:Thank you David! I enjoyed working in your kitchen
Homestead Cabinet Design did a fantastic job updating my kitchen cabinets. My cabinets were fundamentally solid but cosmetically old and worn looking. In addition to updating the cabinets, I wanted to reconfigure a couple of the existing cabinets to make them more useful. I also needed a floor-to-ceiling cabinet replaced with one that could hold a new wall oven I planned to add. Raymond was able to accommodate all of my cabinetry requirements.
The results exceeded my expectations. The newly painted cabinet faces and new doors combined with the custom cabinet work integrated perfectly. Raymond has an impeccable attention to detail. The entire job looks beautiful.
Raymond did the on-site consultation, offered suggestions and guidance and then personally performed the work. He is a craftsman, a true professional and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Raymond and Homestead Cabinet Design.

What a fabulous experience we had working with Raymond and his team at Homestead Cabinet Design! Our 20 year old kitchen was badly in need of a facelift. We consulted with Raymond, originally thinking of repainting our cabinets as we had little knowledge of what else was possible. Raymond met with us several times to understand our desires, explore what was possible, and create an amazing design involving custom cabinets with light rail molding and crown molding, a modern beautiful kitchen island, and wonderful cabinet features like soft close doors, rollout drawers, and hideaways. Through the entire process, we found Raymond to be extremely knowledgeable, an exceptional communicator, and incredibly flexible despite some major scope changes we requested. He has great partnerships with local custom cabinet makers – the cabinet quality far exceeded our expectations. Raymond was constantly available by text/email, very punctual, and respectful of our home and comfort. His attention to detail and skills as a craftsman yielded a beautiful new kitchen that is the centerpiece of our home.

Homestead did an AMAZING job with our kitchen cabinets! We needed brand new custom upper cabinets and lower cabinet refacing. Everything came out beautiful, better than expected.
It's rare these days to work with one person from start to finish on a job like this, but Raymond came out for the initial consult, then the final measurement, & then came back and did the install. To have the same person handling all aspects of the project from start to finish was seamless. There were zero surprises & no problems. This is a great example of how working with a small business can provide you with a better overall experience than the alternatives when the small business owner works hard and cares about the result as much as you do. I did get quotes from other, larger companies, and they came in more expensive for a lower quality product.
Raymond was prompt with communication & answered all of my questions thoroughly from start to finish. I could not have been happier with the whole project. On top of all of this, it was an excellent value, and the cabinets are high quality and exactly what I was looking for! Highly Recommended.

Response from the owner:Thank you Frances! It was a pleasure helping you achieve the kitchen you wanted!
Raymond painted my cabinets in the kitchen and in three bathrooms. My kitchen is open to my living room and dining room. Raymond perfectly color matched the Benjamin Moore color that I requested. Now the doors have a beautiful factory finish. Everything painted on the cabinet boxes was done meticulously and the kitchen harmonizes beautifully with the living and dining rooms. Raymond kept to his promised schedule, his agreed to budget, and was always a pleasure to work with when I had questions or special requests that needed to be addressed. You should look no further if you are thinking of hiring someone for cabinetry work. I highly recommend him, and I would hire him again.
I could not be happier with the quality of the work done in my kitchen. The new cabinet fronts are light years beyond the quality of the fronts they replaced. I will be using Homestead again in the near future!
Response from the owner:Thank you Barbara!
Ray was so wonderful to work with. He responded to every text, email and phone call promptly. His work was impeccable and beautiful. We love our bathroom cabinets and how they came out. I recommend Ray to everyone who needs their cabinets repainted. High quality workmanship.
Response from the owner:Thank you Heidi! Your bathroom looks great!
Raymond is fantastic to work with, he is very kind and patient. He is very responsive and will go above and beyond to ensure you end up with the best suited product for your project.
Response from the owner:Thank you Chrissy!
We are so happy with our repainted cabinets! Raymond was very detailed in his quote, very nice to work with and everything went as planned. We highly recommend Homestead Cabinet Design!
Raymond was a pleasure to work with, he was extremely thorough, clean, and professional. I have never seen a setup like he did to ensure the cabinets came out perfect, and everything else stayed the same. As we had our ideas on what we thought we wanted, Raymond helped us get exactly what we envisioned, we couldn't be happier with our cabinets.
Totally professional, with top quality results. Was there when he promised. Once he started job, he stayed with it though completion. Set up work site, minimum interruption to our household. Recommend highly.
Response from the owner:It was a pleasure working for you! Enjoy your kitchen!
We are very happy with our new cabinets! The job was done in a timely manner and with no mess! Raymond did an awesome job!
Response from the owner:Thank you! Enjoy your kitchen!
We recently had our kitchen cabinets refinished by Homestead Cabinet Design. When I was researching companies I looked at the reviews for this business and I couldn’t find anything but stellar reviews, which made me somewhat suspicious. After working with Raymond, and our project completed, every one of those stellar reviews is deserved!!! His workmanship is outstanding, our cabinets look like brand new. Raymond is professional, responsive, neat, considerate, and a pleasure to work with. He clearly takes pride in his work, and you can tell that customer satisfaction is very important to him.
Homestead Cabinet Design delivered everything it promised and more. I would highly recommend using this company.

Homestead Cabinet Design does very professional work. You will feel that the cabinets are new with a factory finish. A very smooth and ever-so-slightly glossy finish that feels like it will stand up over time. Raymond created a barrier for the work and uses an exhaust fan so that it minimizes the effects to the rest of the house. He is polite and careful. He stayed with his estimate so no surprises on price, which is much less than new cabinets and so much more professional than some companies that do ‘refacing.’ Raymond earned every penny he charged- the prep (thorough degreasing and sanding), along with all of the coats of spray painting is a lot of work and nothing that I could tackle or pull off with this kind of end product. He was willing to do a difficult Island with many little drawers and cupboards and unique hardware. Be prepared to go out to eat and get takeout for 5 days which isn’t all bad and you do start to realize how attached you are to your kitchen, but we are so happy with the results.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the descriptive review! The process can seem a little overwhelming when you can't use your kitchen during the process, but the end results are worthy it!
Awesome job installing cabinet drawers!
Response from the owner:Thank you!
Absolutely love my refaced white shaker cabinets! Very easy to clean and very high quality! Raymond is kind, hard-working, and honest. I would highly recommend his company.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! Enjoy your kitchen!
Raymond redid our kitchen in 2021 and I wish I could give him more then 5 stars. His work is incredible. He is professional, kind and hardworking. We get so many compliments on our kitchen. I am delighted to spend time making wonderful meals in there! Raymond listened to exactly what I wanted and I watched my vision come to life! His team is professional and clean. He built a cabinet to match my exiting cabinets and they match so perfectly it looks like it was installed with the cabinets. I am so happy I never ripped out the whole kitchen and called Raymond instead. I have nothing but positive wonderful things to say about Raymond.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! Glad we could make your kitchen like new!
We had an amazing experience! Highly recommend - if you are thinking of wanting to give your kitchen a makeover.. do it! We don’t have enough good things to say about Raymond and his business. He was timely, professional and is very talented at the work he does. I asked for a custom trim when boxing in my cabinets and he brought my photo to real life! We definitely will hire him again for our future cabinet needs! Highly, highly, highly recommend! You won’t regret it!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! You have a lovely kitchen!
I hired Homestead to install molding, replace hinges, install kick board and build out cabinets. Ray came out timely, issued a quote quickly and did an incredible job. I am very pleased with the work and would absolutely recommend him and use him again when the need arises. Very professional and reasonably priced.
Raymond did an excellent job! We love our new cabinets and island! Clean, efficient and the end result is beautiful and professional. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you Denise! It was a pleasure working with you!
We have hired Raymond for 3 different projects and we were very pleased each time. His work is impeccable.He completes the job in a timely manner and completely cleans up before he leaves! I would highly recommend him!!
It was a pleasure having Homestead Cabinet Design redo my kitchen . It’s just so easy and wonderful to work in now . The detailed craftsmanship and beautiful wood work design was more than I ever expected . I would give a 10 star if I could .
Response from the owner:Thank you! Enjoy your kitchen!
We put a deposit down to have our cabinets repainted and at the time Homestead Cabinet design was booked out 8 months. I now know exactly why. The quality of their finished products is impeccable. Raymond was very responsive and easy to work with. He was quick, clean, and we have been floored by the transformation of our cabinets. We would recommend him to anyone looking for cabinet repainting or refinishing, and if we ever needed a change in our kitchen we would never use anyone else.
Response from the owner:Thank you Jessica! Enjoy your kitchen!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your review!
We couldn’t be more happier with our cabinets and island, the quality and workmanship by far exceeded what we were expecting. Any other projects that come along we will be using Homestead Cabinet Design.
Response from the owner:Thank you! Hope you enjoy your new Island and new cabinet doors!
Only Ray G. has only positive reviews. Why? Because he has no unhappy customers. Because he's the real deal. He painted all of my cabinet doors and drawers. Came out perfect, like a factory finish. I'm another happy customer. The reviews are true!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the kind words, Kris!
Raymond did a wonderful job freshening up our kitchen cabinets. The original paint job was over 20 years old and really needed a refresh. Raymond was meticulous in every way and I don’t exaggerate when I say the job he did was perfect. All the scratches, and marks were sanded away and everything was put back better than before. My kitchen is beautiful again!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Martha! Look forward to doing your mothers kitchen soon as well!
Homestead Cabinet Design came highly recommended to me through a good friend. Ray was very professional and his work is outstanding. He provided a very detailed quote and delivered an amazing service on time and within budget. We had our cabinets refaced and painted. He was able to work around my vacation schedule so that our work was mostly done while we were away which was very much appreciated. It was great to be able to watch our kitchen transform through a couple videos he had posted on Instagram while we were away on vacation. The kitchen cabinets came out amazing and really transformed the look of our somewhat aging kitchen. He was extremely responsive and came out to the house a number of times to go over our options. Included with the service came a 1 hour consult with an interior designer who helped us select colors which was a tremendous help to us as this is not an area my wife and I are great at. I would highly recommend Ray and Homestead Cabinet Design to anyone looking for a reasonably priced and quality transformation of your kitchen. We could not be happier with the service that Ray provided and our kitchen transformation.
Response from the owner:Thanks Jim! I appreciate the kind review
Highly professional! Quality work. Delivered fantastic results. I will definitely recommend Raymond to all my friends for cabinet/countertop job!
Response from the owner:Thanks Cliff! I enjoyed the the project
Raymond’s work is exceptional. He came when he said he would and was just wonderful. The entire process took 4 days and I love my kitchen! I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to paint their cabinets!
Response from the owner:Thanks Jean! I'm glad you love your kitchen!
I cannot give enough praise for the job that Homestead Cabinet Design did to our kitchen cabinets., If you came into our home you would think all new cabinets were installed. Just an excellent job. Ray Glick is wonderful to work with. He listens to what you may want in your design and delivers. Do not hesitate to hire this company to do your kitchen, professionalism, pride in their work, on time scheduling, exceptional product in the end.
Response from the owner:Thanks Dan! Enjoyed working in your kitchen!
Raymond did a cabinet refacing for us with new cabinet doors. He also made an enclosure for our stand alone fridge and next to it made me a dual trash and recycling pull out cabinet. I love it and love that it’s looks like a brand new kitchen for a fraction of the price. Raymond, runs and operates a respectable cabinet repair contracting business in which he also personally completes the projects and this ensures that they are done to the highest quality. We are very happy with the work that he completed for us and we will definitely hire him again to complete other projects in our home. We would highly recommend his services to anyone!
Response from the owner:Thanks Monica! It was great working for you!
I just want say is the job they did was great and detailed. Raymond went above and beyond with his work. Definitely a man of pride and honor. I highly recommend him.

Response from the owner:Thank you Ariana! Hope you enjoy your kitchen!
Raymond does beautiful work. My cabinets look fabulous. His prices are good too, we looked at 3 companies and his was the best price.
Response from the owner:Thank you Theresa! I love the colors in your kitchen!
Amazing! I am pleasantly amazed at the type of paint quality and craftsman ship . I feel the finish and paint is better than the manufacturer cabinets. You can not tell that it's painted. The best part is that the paint has no smell after few hours. Raymond painted over polyurethane dark cherry to Chantilly lace and it came out great!
I'm happy that we went with Raymond. We were lucky to have found Homestead through google search. Initially, we were a little weary of so many high reviews but now totally agreed with everyone! Raymond is very skillful and clean and easy to work with. I can understand why he's in high demand. Go with Raymond and you won't be disappointed.

Raymond did a small bathroom vanity refacing project for us. He never made us feel like a small job though. He was extremely professional, prompt and courteous. The cabinet refacing came out great! I can't wait to finish the room. We'll be recommending homestead cabinet design to everyone!
Response from the owner:Thank you Kerry! It was a great doing business with you!

Response from the owner:Thank you Tina! It was a pleasure doing your kitchen!
I am extremely satisfied with my experience with Homestead Cabinet Design and would absolutely hire Raymond again for future projects. I interviewed many cabinet designers and cabinet painters. My project included painting existing cabinets, adding a wall of custom cabinetry and changing out the door and drawer fronts on my existing cabinets. The first reason I decided to go with Homestead was because Raymond was able to take care of every item I needed. He was open minded and had a can do attitude. After watching some of his videos on his website I could see his strong attention to detail and passion for his work. It helped to know what the process would look like and I appreciate that he provides this content. Raymond’s prices are very reasonable for the level of work he does. He is very meticulous with his work, a true perfectionist and a true craftsman. My custom cabinets came out better than I imagined and my painted cabinets look and feel brand new. It was such a pleasant experience having Raymond work in my home. I’ve had a lot of different people in and out of my home to work on my ceilings and plumbing, etc. Raymond is a breath of fresh air and delight to have around. He is calm, polite, professional and always cleans up after before he leaves. You will not regret making the decision to go with Homestead Cabinet Design.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind review! It was a pleasure working for you! Enjoy your kitchen, and let me know if you need us again!
