That's the Blue River difference", I knew if I ever remodeled my kitchen I wanted them to do it. From our first meeting with Annette and Michele, I knew that they were the right choice. They listened to what I wanted, how I'd use the area. It was such a fun & easy process. It was like they read my mind when it came to style, fixtures, & finishes. The craftsmanship is amazing! The whole crew was so easy to work with & very conscious of being in our home, keeping the area as neat and clean as possible. As you can see from the pictures it turns out beautiful! Far exceeded our expectation! I highly recommend them. I would have them do it again in a heartbeat! **★★★★★ — Monica Tudor, May 2018** > My new kitchen is amazing! Annette and Michelle listened to my wish list and the final result is better than I had thought possible. Seriously! I smile every time I go in the kitchen. Blue River put together a package that just flows-cabinets, hardware, lights, quartz and floor. The kitchen looks bigger than it is. Quality work, quality materials. I’d definitely recommend Blue River! **★★★★★ — wonderchic51, March 2017** > Annette, Michelle, and Chris at Blue River Cabinetry were very professional and helpful. They remodeled our kitchen and we could not be happier. Exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — Paula Allamprese, March 2017** > Excellent design professionals to work with. Annette, Michelle and Chris were extremely helpful and Knowledgeable. They were on schedule, Always kept us informed. All the people they had working for them were excellent also. Each phase of the remodel was completed on time. I would highly recommended Blue River to anyone who wants a beautiful remodel job. Thank you Annette, Michelle, Chris and staff. **★★★★★ — Harry, Jan. 2017** > The project was well planned and tightly budgeted. Blue River is highly professional. They were great on communication, the quality was beautiful quality and they are wonderful people to work with. **★★★★★ — Dick Scott, Oct. 2016** > We delighted with Blue River Cabinetry's transformation of our kitchen. All phases of this project, from creative design through construction to completion, were managed in a timely, professional manner. The quality of materials and appliances coupled with skilled workmanship of their selected contractors contribted to an attractive and functional kitchen that we will enjoy for years. Thanks Annette and Michele for your expert guidance, availability and attention to detail. We look forward to our next project with you. **★★★★★ — Carolyn Sherman, July 2016** > Blue River remodeled our kitchen last year. Not only did they do it for $25,000 less than my other bid, they did much more. They took out everything including the floor, soffits, recessed fluorescent lighting, countertops, cabinets, and appliances. The result is not only beautiful, but functional and low maintenance. The new layout, beautiful cabinets, quartz countertops and travertine backsplash give it a real "wow" effect. The deep, full extension drawers and tall cabinets provide ample and convenient storage. I love my huge island! I even have a double-deck divided silverware drawer and a pull-out undersink organizer. I am also impressed with all of Blue River's friendly and professional staff. **★★★★★ — Wanda Castro, April 2016** > We hired Blue River to remodel our 1950's era bathroom and master closet. They totally exceeded our expectations! Our bath had horrible pink fixtures and a dated, dingy look with a poor layout. Our closets were his and hers with a dressing area that poorly utilized the space. Blue River came up with a design that gave us a spacious walk in closet and a beautiful spa like bath. The design also allowed us to relocate the toilet so that there is more privacy. We sacrificed a linen closet in our hall and a coat closet in the bath to the remodel project but ended up with more storage space thanks to the beautiful cabinets they installed. We couldn't be happier with how our project turned out! **★★★★★ — snjrobs, Jan. 2016** > Michele and Blue River Cabinetry have been a lifesaver for my projects. Blue River Cabinetry is an absolute stellar company to work with! I do my own work, but always have a hard time finding a dealer who would help me source Merillat cabinets. After failing to hear back from three Fresno area cabinetry dealers, I gave Bakersfield a try and reached Michele. She is one of the nicest and most knowledgeable professionals I’ve ever worked with. Blue River Cabinetry’s prices are VERY REASONABLE! They are also very flexible to work with. My last three projects have been a combination of new cabinets for an entertainment center, and unfinished doors and drawers for a huge kitchen project, and she even helped me choose the correct cabinets for my main bathroom. Michele got my dimensions and found issues I never would have seen. Blue River Cabinetry sourced my new cabinets, and made sure they were exactly how I needed them. You can be 100% sure you will be happy with their work! **★★★★★ — enochjager, Sept. 2015** > Blue River Cabinetry remodeled our bathroom and did an amazing job! Annette, Michele, and their entire staff are all very knowledgeable and talented professionals. We enjoyed working with all of them and definitely recommend them to anyone interested in a very high quality, fair priced product and we would not hesitate to contact them again for future projects. **★★★★★ — poore5300, Sept. 2015** > We recently hired Annette Mercado and Michelle Waugh of Blue River Cabinetry for a complete kitchen remodel, which also included replacing the bar area in the adjacent dinning/living room area. The remodel included all new appliances, which included replacing carpet and tile with new wood planked tile throughout kitchen, dining room, partial living room, entry and hallway. Annette and Michelle are extremely experienced and knowledgeable in the business of kitchen remodeling. They are very patient and detailed in kitchen design to meet your every desire in creating a state-of-the-art kitchen remodel. They give you realistic deadlines to allow you enough time to be comfortable with the challenging decisions that you will need to make during the remodel process. We found them (and all of their employees) to be extremely professional, friendly and enthusiastic to work with us in meeting all of our kitchen remodel desires. They were very gracious with any change or additions we requested to design, as well as offering and suggesting reasons why we may or may not want to make a particular change or addition, which was very helpful. This was our first experience in a remodel, which was stressful, to say the least, with the process of getting ready for the remodel, which included completely removing all kitchen, dishes, pots, etc., from drawers and cupboards, removing or moving dining room and living room furniture out of the way and covering it up for the demolition of the kitchen and surrounding area. However, Annette and Michelle have a great "Survival Guide" they have created to assist you through the complete remodel process ((A-Z), with recipes, helpful hints and suggestions to handle every detail to get you through it all successfully. We love our new kitchen and are very pleased with our kitchen remodel. We had a very pleasant experience working with Annette and Chris Mercado and Michelle Waugh and would highly recommend Blue River Cabinetry to anyone looking to remodel their kitchen. **★★★★★ — kjhart8372, Aug. 2015** > Blue River remodeled our kitchen and it turned out Beautiful!! Annette the Contracter was very good at suggesting Great Ideas. The Quality of workmanship is done with the highest of regard. I could not have imagined how Beautiful the kitchen would turn out. I walk into my New Kitchen now & every day it makes me Happy! The kitchen has much more storage & convenience than it had before the remodel. We have had so many Wonderful comments on how Fantastic the new kitchen turned out. Michele & Chris were also very helpful and hard working in the process. We would like to remodel our Master Bathroom and we would not hesitate to have Blue River Kitchen & Barh do the remodel!! Thank you to the whole Blue River Kitchen & Bath Family!! ## Selected projects - [Husk / Granite Hall Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/husk-granite-hall-bathroom-pj-vj~6037119) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Marshmallow Villa / Berwyn](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/marshmallow-villa-berwyn-pj-vj~5719332) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Sunset & Onyx / Bradshaw](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sunset-and-onyx-bradshaw-pj-vj~5668623) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Hazelnut / Bradshaw](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hazelnut-bradshaw-pj-vj~5638751) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Slate Ebony / Mossy Green](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/slate-ebony-mossy-green-pj-vj~5629473) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Ivory Cream Latte Cottage / Wentwood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ivory-cream-latte-cottage-wentwood-pj-vj~5615675) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Marshmallow / Berwyn Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/marshmallow-berwyn-bathroom-pj-vj~5397246) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Buttercream Inset / Berkely](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/buttercream-inset-berkely-pj-vj~5296500) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [White / Bellingham](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/white-bellingham-pj-vj~4803593) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [Pearl / Coarse Carrera](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pearl-coarse-carrera-pj-vj~4044415) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [White / Parys](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/white-parys-pj-vj~3535311) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [Brittany Inset / Montgomery](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brittany-inset-montgomery-pj-vj~3153352) - Location: Bakersfield, CA - Photos: 24 - [Biscotti / Nevern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/biscotti-nevern-pj-vj~3131670) - Location: Bakersfield, CA - Photos: 12 - [Nutmeg / Bradshaw Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nutmeg-bradshaw-bath-pj-vj~3110127) - Location: Bakersfield, CA - Photos: 7 - [Canvas / Wentwood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/canvas-wentwood-pj-vj~3031703) - Location: Bakersfield, CA - Photos: 14 - [Mocha Marble Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mocha-marble-bathroom-pj-vj~3012909) - Location: Bakersfield, CA - Photos: 28 - [Ivory Cream and Chocolate bookshelves](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ivory-cream-and-chocolate-bookshelves-pj-vj~2977196) - Location: Bakersfield, CA - Photos: 7 - [Dove White & Pebble Grey / Blue Carrera](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dove-white-and-pebble-grey-blue-carrera-pj-vj~2965792) - Location: Bakersfield, CA - Photos: 9 - [Mocha Entertainment Center](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mocha-entertainment-center-pj-vj~2880543) - Location: Bakersfield, CA - Photos: 5 - [Lyptus Hazelnut / Lusso](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lyptus-hazelnut-lusso-pj-vj~2879865) - Location: Bakersfield, CA - Photos: 9 [See all 186 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/cabinets-and-cabinetry/blue-river-cabinetry-kitchen-and-bath-pfvwus-pf~1669631026) ## Ideabooks - [Bakersfield Californina](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/77870676/list/bakersfield-californina) — 2 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/bluerivercabinetrykitchenandbath) ## Community Q&A **Q: Does greenhouse window open for air flow?** *(in Photo Questions)* Window should open, shouldn’t it? A: That will depend upon where you live and if you can reach it to open it and if you want to move your stuff in order to do that. Some of them open on the sides but most people where we live do not open them. **Q: What is the backsplash tile?** *(in Photo Questions)* I'm remodeling my kitchen (traditional, classic, farmhouse style) and have cream cabinets with Cambria Praa Sands counters and I am trying to find a backsplash tile that is classic and timeless - not too modern that pulls out the green in the counter top. A: This is a carrara marble mosaic. We purchased it from Stockdale Tile in Bakersfield, CA I believe you can still order it. **Q: Hi! what is the brand and color of flooring used here?** *(in Photo Questions)* Flooring question. A: This floor has a lot of gold in it so it goes well with cherry cabinets but this particular flooring was discontinued quite a few years ago. **Q: Backsplash and Accent** *(in Photo Questions)* Where can I order the backsplash tiles and the metal accents ? A: We ordered all of this through Stockdale Tile here in Bakersfield. **Q: what is the sink brand and color** *(in Photo Questions)* Would like to know the brand name/model and color of sink. A: Yes, that is correct! **Q: what color vinyl flooring is that?** *(in Photo Questions)* We are redoing our kitchen with cherry cabinets and are looking for a lighter color vinyl flooring. A: This floor has a lot of gold in it so it goes well with cherry cabinets but this particular flooring was discontinued a few years ago. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
