“As an architect, I am thrilled whenever I get the opportunity to work with Mike Dickinson and Dickinson Cabinetry. From his ability to listen to the client, to his development of quality shop drawings of all the casework, to his craftsmanship in building some of the finest cabinets I have seen, I always know that Mike and his shop will be able to build cabinets that will not only look amazing, but will last for years and years. Dickinson also has an amazing showroom that is a real asset to my clients. I can send them to meet with Mike where he can review door styles, materials, finishes, colors and answer any questions they might have about what their new cabinets will look like. I have worked with Mike and his shop on a half dozen projects ranging from full kitchens to small bathroom vanities and I look forward to continuing to work with him on projects to come.”

“I recently worked with Francisco and was so impressed!! He was super professional in his dealings, so competitive in pricing and timeline of delivery, and his attention to detail is impeccable. He came, did a thorough design review with myself and my interior designer, followed up to close out open questions, did several more follow ups, and then delivered the final designs in 3 weeks. I am so happy with my new kitchen island and TV cabinet, he was a true gem for the Bay Area”

“Diablo Valley Cabinetry provided one of the best remodel experiences that we have had. Not only with the outcome the most beautiful product that we could have asked for, but the process was smooth as well. They were very involved with every detail and the owner actually came to our house on many occasions to oversee everything! I have never experienced that kind of service from another company. They are professional in every aspect of their dealings and they truly provide top of the line product. I will absolutely use them again for future projects and highly recommend them for both projects big and small. Thank you for actually making the process of a remodel pleasant!”

“I actually selected KDS from the Houzz website. Best decision ever! Kevin is very professional and was really able to bring our project to life, even better than I had envisioned it! He managed to squeeze in a good sized pantry, and here I thought I'd never get one! Kevin's website is very user friendly with a lot of before and after pics! He literally walked us through every step of the whole process helping and guiding us to make the right decisions and selections. Let me say this is a really tough and stressful process and ones always worries about making the wrong choice either in color, material or use of space. Kevin was always there to help guide us and the result is an area that we absolutely love and thoroughly enjoy!!! Kevin has a wonderful eye for color, use of space, and never tries to force his own taste on you but actually works with what you like and dislike! I can't recommend him highly enough. You'll be so happy to have him working for you! He's the best!!!!”

“I first contacted Doolittle Design to build me a custom desk. I wanted a desk with a clean modern design that would fit in my home office. Troy, the designer, met with me to discuss what I was looking for. I told him that I was open to the design and materials but the dimensions would have to fit a certain space in my office. He looked at my height and measured the room. We discussed the proper height based on the use of the desk. He also discussed with me the different types of reclaimed wood he either had in stock or could get if necessary. Troy came back with an illustrated design of the desk along with a sample of the reclaimed wood he chose for it. This is where it became interesting. See, Troy just doesn’t work with any type of wood he works with wood that has stories. The wood chosen for my desk was made out of reclaimed, old-growth redwood from lumber salvaged from the Lindsay Olive Company in the California’s Central Valley. The tanks that were used for soaking the olives were made of this wood. It was beautiful after Troy cleaned up and finished it. We made some adjustments and Troy went off to build the desk. I have had this desk now for several months and could not be any happier. Having a beautiful custom piece of furniture that is very pragmatic in my office not only adds to the aesthetics but also enhances my creativity and well-being. I just love all the character in the reclaimed wood. The water stains in this material are so dramatic. I just haven't seen that in other new furniture before. I would definitely recommend Doolittle Design for any of your custom furniture needs.”

“The Klein Design Group designed the cabinetry for our entertainment center/bookcase wall unit in our den and our kitchen cabinetry. Jonathan Kleid listened carefully as we outlined what we knew we needed and made very apt suggestions about possibilities that we had not initially recognized. The elegant, uncluttered designs in both rooms have stood the test of time. In the kitchen and den his choices of internal hardware and fittings for specialized drawers and cabinets have worked smoothly and have operated flawlessly for more than fifteen years. His collaboration with Swift Finishing gave us cabinetry whose paint finishing was perfect and silky smooth to the touch. Jonathan was very responsive to our initial request to meet, enthusiastic about our projects, and a joy to work with throughout. He has followed up periodically to make sure that we knew help was available if any issues arise.”

“My designer has used Demetra before and the reviews were excellent. Our experience was not flawless. However, we were able to work out a solution with Demetra. We ordered cabinets for a kitchen and a kitchenette. My designer started working with Lexus and unfortunately their design used an 8' ceiling instead of 9'. A few months later when we were ready to work out the design Lexus was gone, so Kevin took over. Kevin came and measured the spaces to finalize the designs. I met with him to go over the details. For the kitchenette he was able to figure out an efficient panel layout to cover the bottom side of the uppers that were not colored (this is a drawback with the acrylic cabinets). That was great, except when he measured at the site he did not see that a beam that intersects his design of the upper cabinets. Luckily, I caught this error before the cabinets were in production. He was very quick to update the design and the cost was actually reduced with our solution. Unfortunately, I did not catch the 8' ceiling error in the larger kitchen design. The renderings showed the cabinets going to the ceiling like I wanted. After we placed the order we were told that the finish we selected was no longer available! Make sure to confirm the materials before signing off for production. The only option Demetra offered was a different finish (acrylic) which was a different shade of cream. We were in a pickle since we needed the cabinets and the production time is quoted as 6-8 weeks. Finally, the cabinets were delivered and when my contractor started the installation he let me know that the 8' tall panels to cover the sides of the refrigerator were too short. I contact Kevin and he tells me that the panels are not available taller than 8'. Things are looking pretty grim...I meet with Kevin and Ricky (owner) and we quickly came up with a solution using a new product that will coordinate with the cabinets and has longer panels. Ricky agreed to credit us for the short panels to offset the cost of the new panels and additional upper cabinet/doors. Overall, the cabinets may even look better, and Kevin and Ricky were creative in figuring out how to use what we had to minimize the additional cost. The acrylic cabinets are stunning and are more durable compared with the high-gloss enamel (used in our last kitchen project). The lead time for the material is also short - just 2 weeks. If you are thinking you will save some money and just use IKEA cabinets, you should reconsider. Demetra has custom size cabinets that are much higher quality for not much more cost - and you don't have to build the boxes. Also, you can get replacement doors from Demetra if you need them later.”

“I have hired Caliber Cabinets on two occasions for customers work on two different homes. For the first project, they created a gorgeous huge built in unit with shelving, cabinets and desk and for the second project, they made exquisite cabinets for our kitchen and mud room. They were a pleasure to work with and stand by their work. I would not hesitate to work with them again!!”

“The project: Replace kitchen cabinets and counters, add 2 extra outlets to kitchen, replace florescent box fixture with recessed lighting, install tile back splash. The project took 7-8 business days over the course of about three weeks. Total cost was ~$16,000. I hired Chris through Cabinets to Go, as he was licensed and was able to get the counters done in addition to cabinets. He was highly responsive to my many questions, even while on vacation. He came down to my place twice to check his measurements. I was impressed that an East Bay Area contractor was willing to come down to the South Bay. Chris and his subcontractors were on time, knowledgeable, and willing to answer questions and work with requests. I could not be happier with the work done and I smile every time I walk into my kitchen.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Crystal Hackl during a complete remodel of my master bath and a complete kitchen remodel. As this was my first time undertaking such a huge project, I was very nervous and did not know what to expect. Crystal listened to my wants, dreams, and needs and walked me through the entire process. She was always respectful of my ideas and my budget. She helped me to design the kitchen of my dreams. It is beautiful, energy-efficient, and work friendly. I receive nothing but compliments whenever anyone visits. Crystal listened to my needs, executed everything on time, worked extremely well with my contractor, and produced a final product that I am so proud to show off! I definitively would work with Crystal again and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
