Kristin is incredible. She helped us remodel our outdated, crumbling kitchen into our dream kitchen. Kristin worked with us through our ever changing budget, BIG DREAMS, and inability to make decisions with grace. She probably started our kitchen over- COMPLETELY- about six times when I would change the smallest detail. She literally thought of EVERYTHING. Thanks to COVID we also had to work through some manufacturing concerns and Kristin took on all the extra work without ever being asked. If you're remodeling- you need to go see her! Next up... master bath!

We just wanted to send a note of thanks. Even though we’ve partnered with American Cedar & Millwork for about 10 years, it’s been the last 2-3 years we’ve really gotten to know the level of expertise, customer service, and appreciation your company exudes toward us.
And it is not only us… but our clients too. We know they are in great hands when we send them your way. You treat our clients exactly as we would.
We also appreciate your generous support of our recently printed promotional booklet highlighting some of our award-winning work, along with some we’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with your team on.
It is refreshing to find good partners that are dependable, consistent, and hold the customer in such high esteem in our industry. It’s been a pleasure working with you and the AC&M crew, and we look forward to collaborating on many more projects well into the future.

We are writing to commend Kristin Baldwin McCarra for the outstanding kitchen design work she did for us between February 2022 and August 2023.
Our down to the studs kitchen renovation was a mammoth project, and included renovating adjacent rooms as well. Kristin's expert guidance during the design phase, and her subsequent support during construction were invaluable in clearing the way for a nearly flawless installation. Throughout this past year and a half, Kristin has exemplified your company slogan “to inspire, empower and support”. She did all three of those things for us on this project, and we thought you should know about our experience.
This being our first kitchen renovation, we were full of questions! In spite of our steep learning curve, Kristin consistently welcomed us whenever we arrived at the showroom, scheduled or not, and we never felt as though we were a bother. Early on, she thoroughly explained the differences between the cabinet lines American Cedar carries, as well as the significant differences between frameless and framed cabinets.
Kristin captured all of our “must have” ideas in her preliminary concept drawings. She also demonstrated her knowledge of construction and asked many questions about my plans for that process. Kristin was efficient with her time and always respected ours. She guided us where it was needed and offered her own ideas as refinement to ours. Her attention to detail and her efforts to thoroughly define the parameters of the project upfront resulted in concept drawings that ended up being very close to the final design, and the subsequent installation went smoothly and without any major problems.
My wife had concerns about off-gassing of the cabinetry, and Kristin found and relayed to her detailed and helpful information on this topic which was most appreciated.
In our early interactions with Kristin, we recognized her professional design expertise, and benefitted from her collaboration skills. As the project progressed, we felt that we had precisely the partner we needed to make our vision a reality. In short, we trusted Kristin. Looking back today, our confidence was well placed, and well earned. She is a great asset to your team and will likely bring many future projects to successful completion for your clients on behalf of American Cedar.

I'm a deck and 3 season room builder in Raleigh NC. I have been with this company since they were called "Brooks" and now American Cedar and Millwork. This company listens to the customer, adapts to their needs and responds better than any company I have ever worked with. Their product is the best and the people are even better. They have long term employees which says a lot about the heart of the company. I would not buy from anyone else no matter the price. It feels like family each time I interface with anyone in Raleigh

We have found American Cedar & Millwork to be the most professional building supply company in our area. The sales reps are thorough and very well versed in the product lines, particularly Marvin products.

My wife and I have had the good fortune to work with Bryan Miller of American Cedar on the design and installation of our kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry room for our new home (still in construction phase). Very impressive!!! Bryan is deeply knowledgeable about cabinetry products and design. He has been responsive and attentive throughout the process. American Cedar carries a range of cabinetry and has a display of virtually all available designs and finishes—something for every taste and budget. Additionally, we were referred to Classic Granite and Marble for countertop selections. They also have an impressive selection and excellent staff.
What could have been a difficult experience – considering all the decision making involved – was made much more pleasant and positive by going with American Cedar. Special thank you to Bryan!!!

The design team at American Cedar was amazing! Georgia and Kristin were extremely attentive to our needs and went above and beyond to ensure our new kitchen reflected a classic cottage-like vibe. They shared innovative design tips from cabinet and drawer composition to subway tile to lighting. The Crystal cabinetry is a beautiful, high quality product that will last for years to come. Georgia and Kristin worked side by side with our contractor during the installation phase providing guidance and consult during a pandemic! The result is a beautiful kitchen that has become the heartbeat of our home. We just cannot thank them enough!

Kristin and her team helped us shape our outdated midcentury ranch kitchen into a modern and functional living space. She helped us transform our design goals into real products and prepared detailed drawings that made our contractor’s job painless. We’d recommend Kristin to anyone looking for a detail-oriented designer who is professional and efficient. Thank you!
