I originally contacted Charles in January, 2026 to give me an estimate for some kitchen cabinet repairs, hardware installation, and cabinet refinishing. I was having new quartz countertops installed in my kitchen and two bathrooms, and wanted to line up an experienced cabinet contractor to do the finishing work afterwards. Charles drove all the way to Santa Fe from Albuquerque on a snowy Saturday morning to provide me with an estimate. The countertops were installed in March. Charles remained in contact with me until he finally returned in April to do the work we discussed. He brought his son, Jacob, along with him, and the two of them spent two days repairing, refinishing, and installing all new hardware on my kitchen and bathroom cabinets. I found the quality of their finished work to be outstanding, and the cost to be reasonable. The 25-year-old bathroom cabinets that were refinished now look brand new, and have completely changed the appearance of the room. In addition, Charles and Jacob were absolutely meticulous, and left the three rooms they worked in spotless. Charles was very responsive, professional, and a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. I highly recommend NHance for all your cabinet needs.

When I contacted N Hance, I had a window of opportunity to get the floors done while we were out of town, which did not give them a lot of notice. They rearrange their schedule to make it happen. They came in on time and on budget as represented and did a great job. I recommend them for anyone wanting their floors Refinished.

Great job with attention to detail. Thank you!

A consummate professional, Charles has refurbished not one but two kitchens for me! I love them both and highly recommend him. (and his son Jacob!)

Had a fantastic experience with Charles the owner of N- HANCE. He did a great job of matching color and finish on kitchen cabinets. He was responsive and easy to work with and was very tidy. Highly recommend!

Excellent work. Pleasant association. Strongly recommend.

Excellent quality work. Very happy with the finished job. Charles is friendly, courteous, and professional. The entire process was easy from the initial consultation to final completion.

I decided to go with Nhance and Charles based on ALL the very positive reviews that I read on line. I wanted to refresh my 30 year old kitchen, which had had a major face lift about 20 years ago. Charles was prompt in coming out to look at the job and give me an estimate. He gave me a date for starting the work, and showed up on the exact date. The extensive work was completed in less than a week. All the while, they kept my house clean each day after they finished. The quality of the work is first rate, and I couldn't be more pleased with the end results. My kitchen looks brand new, with doors and drawer fronts refinished, all new self-closing hinges on the doors, and not a water stain in sight! This project was a delight! Thank you Charles!!

Very happy with my cherry cabinets, I think they look even better than when they were first made. Charles very personable and easy to work with.

N-Hance scheduled the work and began on schedule. The work was professional and high quality. Cabinets look much better.

Very professional. They do a great job!

I am an architect I was researching the best product to repaint cabinets. I chose N Hance. They did not disappoint. Charles is very professional, kind, caring and does amazing work!!! By far, the best cabinet refinishing that I have seen!

These guys are great! They made my kitchen new again. I can't say enough about how pleased I am.

Very professional. Work completed on time and at the estimated cost quoted. No surprises. The results are wonderful, I'm going to recommend them to everyone. Plus, the process produced very little mess or odor

NO DUST. The E-Hance system and Charles use a special high speed vacuum that eliminates dust and air pollutants in your home while sanding of existing front facing cabinet supports. The E-Hance system also uses a paint sprayer to paint the front facings of the cabinets. In addition, for me, he started on Monday and the cabinets were completed by Friday. No surprises!! Best of all, the cost is surprisingly reasonable. I am amazed and very pleased with the attention to details, professionalism and high quality of the results. Just do it!!

Charles originally painted our new cabinet doors, drawers , island and frame. He did a beautiful job 7 years ago. We just had him retouch all the nicks and scrapes on them and our island. He did an impeccable job. They look like new.

I highly recommend Charles to enhance your cabinets! He diligently and meticulously restored the 28 year old maple cabinets in my kitchen and both bathrooms. He refreshed the surfaces, worn by age, re-glued those deemed necessary, and replaced all the hinges. This is the second house where I’ve contracted NHance, and I couldn’t be happier with the work and results.

Charles is wonderful to work with, job done on time and in budget. He even found glass I liked better than what I’d had in mind, and he rehung the doors with soft close hinges! House left clean, and the transformation is incredible! Highly recommend.

Charles did an amazing transformation in our kitchen! He is professional and friendly, on time and in budget. He even found glass inserts I liked better than what I'd had in mind, and installed soft closing hinges. Highly recommend!

NHance refinished my kitchen Island and it looks fantastic! I feel like I have a new kitchen.Charles and his crew were very kind and professional and it was seamless and painless. The prep and cleanup were amazing, I expected a disruption but there wasn’t any at all. I’d do it again without question. Charles was great to work with and have in my home.

N-Hance gave us an entire new kitchen and bathrooms with their gorgeous refinishing of our cabinets. We asked for a more distressed finish to compliment our Southwestern decor. Now everything ties together in a beautiful cohesive way. Our granite countertops, backsplash, and even our wooden ceiling beams work together in a way that looks custom created. We couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you N-Hance. Marilyn Shaw

The kitchen was finished on schedule, and we were so pleased with their professionalism and attention to detail...and we love our "new" kitchen!

What a fabulous job on my kitchen cabinets! Charles and his partner were always on time and left my kitchen spotless. My kitchen now looks brand new and the price to get it there was very reasonable. Thank you.

We are so pleased with the wonderful results of the wood renewal of our cupboards! Beautiful! What a difference. No dust, no mess or smell. We highly recommend this for anyone considering renewal of their cupboards. A big thank you to N Hance!

Charles was so incredibly helpful, professional, and courteous when helping me with my kitchen cabinet repair project!

These may be the best contractors with whom I have worked in Santa Fe. Our kitchen looks wonderful! Five stars plus!!!

I LOVE the color of my cabinets now; I feel like I have a whole new kitchen. So happy I did not have to replace the cabinets to get a new look. Highly recommend!!

N-Hance did a fabulous job refinishing our wood counter tops . I can’t recommend them more highly . They arrived on time were very professional and clean . I was surprised that there was hardly any dust and absolutely no odor. No need to replace the countertops they look brand new !

N-Hance refinished all of our interior doors (16) in one week. These doors were solid hardwood, w/ many having non-superficial scratch marks from the previous owners' dogs. N-Hance was able to remove all signs of scratch marks, match the stain on each door even though our doors were a mixture of light-stain and darker-stain colors, and blend in the color of the door frame. For the door to the garage, they did the refinishing work in our garage because of the cold to minimize the time that only a heavy felt cover was in place to keep the cold out of the house. We are very pleased with the results and the time to do the work, which was as originally quoted.

N-Hance of Santa Fe did a wonderful job refinishing our hardwood floors. Went from night to day in appearance. Would HIGHLY recommend from product to communication throughout the entire process from quote to billing.

Charles Schmidt is first class

We loved the ABQ team and all they represent. They came to Santa Fe and arrived on time each day. Their professionalism was stellar from the beginning, middle and all the way to the end of the project, which involved our kitchen cabinets and pantry. Curve balls? No problem. They handled them with grace and fortitude. We were so impressed with the process and how efficient every step was. Highly recommended!

Charles is a class act! My wife and I had a contractor nail halfway through re-doing our kitchen about two weeks before Christmas. I had to scramble and call every contractor and cabinet refinisher with a posted phone number. N-Hance was booked full, but had sympathy for our situation. Charles came out to our house all the way in Los Alamos, and made our cabinets look amazing! The contractor that bailed had done a terrible job sanding some of the cabinets, and it wasn't evident until Charles starting staining. Without being asked he took the pieces home to re-sand them so I would look nice finished. I can't say enough about his professionalism, and the quality of his work.
