Our attention to detail-from project inception to project completion-guarantees exquisite, enduring results. Our cabinets are hand crafted and custom finished in our Silicon Valley Location. Mike Dickinson is the owner of Dickinson Cabinetry. Mike built his first cabinet at age thirteen in his parent’s garage. He developed an interest in many types of projects made from wood and began building everything from fine furniture to redwood decks. As a young adult he turned to metal working and learned much about manufacturing processes working in a modern factory. He still made woodworking his hobby. He then decided to come back to cabinets and began kitchen remodeling. He built and installed cabinets and later became General Manager of a kitchen remodeling contracting company. He gained vast experience while learning much about the “nuts and bolts” that make a kitchen. He was especially drawn toward the design of custom cabinetry. He noticed how much a cabinet design can influence the final result. The market was changing and consumers were demanding much higher levels of quality and service. Finishes were getting much more elaborate. Cabinet storage features were evolving rapidly. With this in mind he got the idea to start a new kind of custom cabinet business in San Jose which could serve the Bay Area and beyond. There are three main players which must work together to create a beautiful kitchen project. First, a cabinetmaker who considers the wants and needs of the homeowner from start to finish is essential. Second, an interior designer or homeowner with excellent design sense who can choose all of the colors and finishes. And third, a skilled general contractor who can oversee the installation of everything in the kitchen. Anyone who has been through this will tell you that you do not want to compromise on any of these. Mike enjoys being part of the team. He truly has a passion for beautiful cabinetry.

Mike and his team were easy to work with and patient with all the questions and changes. He built exactly what I wanted for each drawer, and his team made adjustments on site when needed. I especially love the under-the-counter paper towel holder and the baking sheet/cutting board drawer. For the baking sheet/cutting board drawer, he created a drawer with removable slats so that I could adjust the size of the space to fit my needs. > > When I look at other kitchens, I can see the quality of the materials and workmanship of Dickinson Cabinetry. The other kitchens don't compare. > > I love my kitchen and media center, and I would definitely recommend Dickinson Cabinetry! **★★★★★ — Kitchen, Dec. 2025** > I have worked with Mike Dickinson of Dickinson Cabinetry for over 20 years both professionally and personally. Mike takes great care in helping with cabinet selection if necessary, taking measurements for the jobs, and he works well with designers and contractors. The cabinets are well made and he does custom sizes. > > His cabinets are delivered on time and his company stands behind their work. They come in at the end of each job and fine tune the cabinet mechanisms to ensure smooth closures and completing any needed touch ups. If any problem arises, he stands behind his work to make it right for the customer. **★★★★★ — John H, Nov. 2024** > Wow what can I say. The modern Scandinavian look for the cabinets we wanted were provided perfectly by Dickinson Cabinetry. Mike guided us through the decision making process for one of the most important design aspects of our new kitchen. Lots of choices, wood, styles, stains, drawers, sizing, handles, spice racks, and more. Choosing the stain was a hard decision for us and he was patient and helped us through the process. The cabinets have high quality materials and excellent workmanship. After having these cabinets in our kitchen for a year now we could not be happier with the results. I'm so glad we did not go lower quality semi-custom cabinets. We will use Dickinson Cabinetry again for our next kitchen remodel. **★★★★★ — David H, Nov. 2024** > We commissioned from Dickinson Cabinetry various highly-customized pieces that we ourselves designed in rough using SketchUp (3D modeling software). > \- A double-sided shoe cabinet with bench that fits between two walls and can be used from both sides. > \- Kitchen cabinetry, including open wall shelves, cabinets that fit under a staircase, and even a breakfast bar. > \- A whole-wall hanging entertainment unit (notice that it floats above the floor). > \- Primary bathroom's hanging vanity. > > The pieces look great and work very well. The material is of high quality and we expect the pieces to last a long time. Dickinson's service was also great: they came back and made all the adjustments and put in all the final polish to make sure everything turned out the way we wanted. **★★★★★ — Anaheim Tech Connect, April 2024** > We had a fantastic experience working with Dickinson Cabinetry on our kitchen remodel. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. We're thrilled with our new kitchen! **★★★★★ — qtplus3, Jan. 2024** > After my father suddenly passed away in 2022, we decided to renovate my parents' 40 year old home, my childhood home, mainly to help my mother heal and create a new space where our family could gather, as we had over the years. Since we wanted to completely revise the kitchen space and maximize cabinet space, my general contractor recommended Dickinson Cabinetry. > Mike came to our home, took measurements and gave us some ideas as what could be done. We then went to his workshop where he showed us swatches, samples, and walked us through his initial design drawings. We provided feedback a few times and he provided updated drawings until we were satisfied. The entire process was efficient and productive. All the while, he kept in mind our desire to maximize space and functionality. > The quality of workmanship is beautiful. Our home is small so we wanted the kitchen to be the heart and centerpiece of the home. > In the end, we couldn't be more happy. When we all gather in the kitchen we remember my father lovingly. > My mother loves cooking again and the 40 year old home feels brand new. **★★★★★ — Ernst Development Partners, Nov. 2023** > We have used Dickenson for two projects (kitchen cabinets and built in bookshelves). Their whole team was great to work with, easy to communicate with, and extremely thorough and professional. The cabinets are all beautiful and well worth the investment. **★★★★★ — Sriganesh Krishnan, Nov. 2023** > Mike and crew helped us with our kitchen remodel every step of the way from initial design, the appliance selection, the multiple revisions, picking out the stains and colors based, working with installers to get the delivery dates finalized and installed asap, to the final adjustments and touch ups. The cabinets are high quality, beautifully finished with top notch craftsmanship, my general contractor was so impressed with the cabinet materials. **★★★★★ — vmallik, Nov. 2023** > Throughout the entire process, from the initial design phase to the final adjustments post-installation, Mike Dickinson, Shelly, Joe, and Danielle proved to be outstanding partners. Mike, in particular, demonstrated an exceptional understanding of my vision for the appliance cabinet, surpassing my expectations with his delivery. Flexibility was a key attribute, especially when our design evolved from an all-painted cabinet concept to a combination of painted and bamboo cabinets. > > Their timeliness in delivering the cabinets and their willingness to return for final adjustments when needed underscored their commitment to customer satisfaction. Beyond their excellent service, their craftsmanship stands out as truly top-notch. The resulting product not only exudes style but also impresses with its durability. While only time will confirm its longevity, I am currently delighted with the quality and finish of their work. **★★★★★ — carol jorgenson, Nov. 2023** > It’s always a pleasure working with Dickinson Cabinetry. I’ve been sending clients to them for mire than 20 years. Clients always thrilled! **★★★★★ — Kelly, Nov. 2023** > Dickinson Cabinetry made the cabinets for our kitchen remodel last year and we could not be more thrilled with the result. Mike was able to accomodate every detail and storage solution that I wanted in our kitchen. During the remodel, we had an incident where the contractor installed the window in the incorrect location. Mike caught the error and was able to adjust our design for this change. The cabinets are beautiful and functional, and have held up extremely well over the past year. **★★★★★ — Jains Inc, Sept. 2022** > We recently had our kitchen cabinets fabricated by Dickinson Cabinetry and had them installed in our home in Fremont. CA. Right from my first communications with Mike and Shelly from discussing our needs to the final details by their shop manager Joe, we are extremely grateful for their customer-oriented service in delivering high quality cabinets. Our contractor, the installer and even the building inspectors who came by admired these bespoke cabinets and how well they were made. We did go through a hiccup when we opted for an additional cabinet, but they unhesitatingly accommodated us. There is always room to strive for higher accomplishments and stand out amongst their competition. Two such ways if we were to suggest are: 1. provide installation services and 2. include a step stool for access to over-the-counter cabinets. > Thanks Mike, Shelly and Joe, for your service and the pride you take in your cabinets, these will be cherished and proudly exhibited by us to our guests for years to come. ## Selected projects - [Two Tone Shaker Kitchen w/Accent Island, Custom Media Cabinet, Bar & Desk](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/two-tone-shaker-kitchen-w-accent-island-custom-media-cabinet-bar-and-desk-pj-vj~7685652) - Location: Piedmont, CA - Photos: 11 - [Modern California Kitchen w/Custom Painted, Walnut & White Oak Cabinetry](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-california-kitchen-w-custom-painted-walnut-and-white-oak-cabinetry-pj-vj~7685667) - Location: Oakland, CA - Photos: 7 - [Painted Skinny Shaker Kitchenette](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/painted-skinny-shaker-kitchenette-pj-vj~7685651) - Location: Piedmont, CA - Photos: 2 - [Natural Walnut Vanity w/Skinny Shaker Doors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/natural-walnut-vanity-w-skinny-shaker-doors-pj-vj~7685650) - Location: Piedmont, CA - Photos: 1 - [Custom Blue Laundry Room Cabinetry](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-blue-laundry-room-cabinetry-pj-vj~7685649) - Location: Piedmont, CA - Photos: 1 - [Custom Flush Inset Kitchen w/Shaker Doors & Dog Wash Station](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-flush-inset-kitchen-w-shaker-doors-and-dog-wash-station-pj-vj~7657764) - Location: Berkeley, CA - Photos: 5 - [Vertical Grain Plain Sliced White Oak Vanity w/Make Up Table](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vertical-grain-plain-sliced-white-oak-vanity-w-make-up-table-pj-vj~7657765) - Location: Berkeley, CA - Photos: 2 - [Edamame Green Shaker Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/edamame-green-shaker-kitchen-pj-vj~7685648) - Location: San Jose, CA - Photos: 6 - [Gorgeous Custom Floating Vanity](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gorgeous-custom-floating-vanity-pj-vj~7685646) - Location: Redwood City, CA - Photos: 1 - [Custom Plain Sliced White Oak Media Wall (White Oak has a custom dark stain)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-plain-sliced-white-oak-media-wall-white-oak-has-a-custom-dark-stain-pj-vj~7657771) - Location: Redwood City, CA - Photos: 2 - [Custom Gray Kitchen Cabinetry & Dual Sided Entry Way Shoe Cabinet](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-gray-kitchen-cabinetry-and-dual-sided-entry-way-shoe-cabinet-pj-vj~7685647) - Location: Redwood City, CA - Photos: 5 - [Flush Inset White Oak Vanity w/Shaker Doors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/flush-inset-white-oak-vanity-w-shaker-doors-pj-vj~7547358) - Location: Piedmont, CA - Photos: 3 - [Classic & Bright White Shaker Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-and-bright-white-shaker-kitchen-pj-vj~7325511) - Location: Redwood City, CA - Photos: 5 - [Custom Rift White Oak Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-rift-white-oak-kitchen-pj-vj~7546706) - Location: Sunnyvale, CA - Photos: 10 - [Modern White Oak Kitchen w/Painted Glass Doors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-white-oak-kitchen-w-painted-glass-doors-pj-vj~7325508) - Location: Sunnyvale, CA - Photos: 5 - [Luxurious Leathered Wet Bar](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/luxurious-leathered-wet-bar-pj-vj~7325510) - Location: Sunnyvale, CA - Photos: 3 - [Another Happy Dickinson Cabinetry Customer](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/another-happy-dickinson-cabinetry-customer-pj-vj~7331973) - Location: San Jose, CA - Photos: 2 - [Creamy White Shaker Kitchen with Green Accent Island](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/creamy-white-shaker-kitchen-with-green-accent-island-pj-vj~7290470) - Location: Berkeley, CA - Photos: 12 - [Plain Sliced White Oak Vanity w/Horizontal Grain](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/plain-sliced-white-oak-vanity-w-horizontal-grain-pj-vj~7294906) - Location: Hillsborough, CA - Photos: 3 - [Stunning Berkeley Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stunning-berkeley-remodel-pj-vj~7273368) - Location: Berkeley, CA - Photos: 7 - Description: Custom Kitchen & Butler Pantry cabinetry is Paint Grade Maple w/inlaid Walnut detail.
