Custom Built-ins Services in Buena Vista, CA

“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”

“I enjoy working with them on our new kitchen, they are very professional and understand our needs. I highly recommend them.”

“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.”

“Always great woodwork. I first became familiar with Schmitz on a project for Cabrillo College. Great work, good pricing, creative approach to fine detailing.”

“I had a wonderful experience working with Hormoz. His attention to details and craftmanship is unbelievable. He is very professional and goes above and beyond to do what it takes to deliver an excellent service. He is very flexible. He often strives for perfection. I would recommend HB Custom Cabinets any time. Thank you Hormoz for our lovely kitchen and bathroom cabinets. We love it!!! Niraj Singh”

“Aaron Robinson is excellent. He built custom cabinets and furniture for our kitchen, family room, living room, and bedrooms. Fantastic, thoughtful, custom design, impeccable craftsmanship and strong customer service. One of the very top subs we worked with when we built our new home.”

“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'm an architect and was looking for a cabinet company to work with on a remodel of my own kitchen. I needed a budget-priced option that would still allow me to customize things, and Dodi was the perfect fit for my needs. I was able to customize all the cabinet dimensions to fit my space and choose materials that fit with my design. Dodi provided assistance throughout the process, samples of the materials for me to review, and quickly took care of some minor issues with the cabinets once they were received. Fabrication and delivery were lightning fast (by industry standards), just as promised. I would work with them again and recommend them highly.”

“Jonathan Leys, owner of Woodmaster, worked very hard to create my ideal kitchen. He listened to all of my ideas, no matter how outlandish, but never tried to talk me out of them. He would just give me a visual of how it would look so that I could make an informed decision. I really appreciated that. The other businesses I considered for the job just tried to tell me what they felt I wanted and needed. One of the first things Jonathan asked me was, "What do you want it to look like?". I was sold! He was the only one to ask that and the look and feel of the kitchen was important to me. In my opinion, he made my dream kitchen a reality. Too, I can not say enough about his professionalism and craftsmanship. My cabinets are beautiful and well made. I feel he went above and beyond all my expectations and can recommend him without hesitation.”
