David flew in to help consult, design and draft layout concept. The cabinet quality was above what I could obtain locally. Inset doors, glazed finish, 3/4" solid ply cab basis etc. **★★★★★ — Nick Robles, Sept. 2019** > Zephyr Cabinets and Palm Desert Kitchens: Five Star Cabinets & Five Star Service > > What started out as a “simple” remodel of a circa 1970s kitchen turned into a full-blown complete home remodel. But that was our fault, because as we saw the quality of the materials and workmanship slowly transform the kitchen, we decided it would be a shame to leave the rest of the house as is. Palm Desert Kitchens and Dennis McAllister were patient with us every step of the way, and the design input from Dennis was so spot-on that at some point in the process, we just relinquished all control to him and let him call all the shots. From tearing out two walls in the kitchen, to handling the engineering for the new support structure in the ceiling, to securing the permits and dealing with the city inspectors, to installing new floors, to remodeling all the bathrooms, to choosing the new lighting and fixtures, to the sound system (inside and out), to the new audio-visual, to the new appliances…the list goes on. There’s nothing that Dennis and his team cannot do…and do they did, as they remodeled our entire home. If we could give him six stars, we would! > > We met Dennis at his showroom in Palm Desert and immediately fell in love with the Zephyr cabinets. They were not cheap, but nothing of this quality is ever inexpensive. We were immediately sold on the craftmanship of the Zephyr cabinets as well as the way that the finished product allowed for the grain to line up in between cabinet and draw gaps. This is an amazing product, and it’s the little things like this that make the result worthwhile. What a huge difference to walk into a kitchen and have the wood grains all lining up from top to bottom, regardless of how many drawers are in between! When the final product was unveiled, we pretty much made the decision to move to the home full-time and no longer treat it as a weekend house! Was there a hiccup? There sure was…two of the panels were not the correct size; however, Dennis and his team quickly arranged for replacements and had them installed in time for our move. It seems Palm Desert Kitchens only knows “yes” when asked if they can do something. If we ever move again, we’ll for sure lean on Dennis and his team to handle any contracting that we need. **★ — Rod DeOcera, Aug. 2019** > Going to see Dennis was an annoying waste of time. He was so cheesy, pretentious, snobby and rude. Maybe he was having a bad day? Either way I will never recommend him or his business. He quoted me $9500 and a turnaround time of several weeks for a very small job. I later found the price and timeframe were both illogically inflated. There are many choices in the desert. No need to settle on this place. **★★★★★ — brer10, Sept. 2016** > Owned by David Miller and Dennis McAllister. High quality products. David is wonderful at working through a design, despite my making a couple of changes, he was patient, creative and cooperative. **★★★★★ — nancyspencerrn, June 2014** > I had never attempted a project as large as this by myself, so I was understandably nervous. Everyone I dealt with was professional, courteous, friendly and kind. The end result is beautiful! Thank you so much to Dennis and the entire team at Palm Desert Kitchens. **★★★★★ — rcragu, March 2013** > David designed and verified all aspects of our cabinet installations throughout the house. > > He arranged for a first class installation..... > > He delivered on all promises and more..... > > We have exactly the cabinets we always wanted................ > > We would absolutely recommend David @ Palm Desert Kitchens. **★★★★★ — russclarke, March 2013** > I have been dealing with David and Palm Desert Kitchens for many years and it is very easy to refer David as he is thorough, creative and professional. His attention to detail and multiple site visits to ensure all is well has made my job easier. It is often his kitchens that lead to multiple referrals for new jobs. I would recommend David to anyone and I tell folks that "even if you decide to go with another contractor I would still use David for your design and kitchen-it is money well spent!". > Russ Clarke > Russ Clarke Construction ## Selected projects - [Hill](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hill-pj-vj~2879812) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Roberts](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/roberts-pj-vj~192515) - Location: Palm Desert, CA - Photos: 6 - [Wesche](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wesche-pj-vj~2879829) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Foote](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/foote-pj-vj~2879821) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Becker](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/becker-pj-vj~2879837) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Moore](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/moore-pj-vj~2879853) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Tomkins](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tomkins-pj-vj~2879816) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Tompkins](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tompkins-pj-vj~192530) - Location: La Quinta, CA - Photos: 3 - [Bauer](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bauer-pj-vj~2879808) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Lorenz](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lorenz-pj-vj~2879831) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Hicks](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hicks-pj-vj~2879825) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Glaser](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glaser-pj-vj~2879823) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Young](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/young-pj-vj~2879818) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Beckwith](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beckwith-pj-vj~2879805) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Duff](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/duff-pj-vj~192491) - Location: La Quinta, CA - Photos: 2 - [Bard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bard-pj-vj~192543) - Location: Palm Desert, CA - Photos: 2 [See all 16 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/kitchen-and-bath-designers/palm-desert-kitchens-pfvwus-pf~1292140601) ## Community Q&A **Q: What is the stain and wood for the cabinets lover the rich color?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: They are Woodmode cabinets and have a stain called Candlelight w/Black Glaze and are done on Maple wood.
