Going back to the old brand because sometimes in life it's better to stay with what you know. Our 17 year old Miele went belly up one day and no amount of negotiations, carrots, promises, attempts to repair, etc. could convince this old horse to start going again.
Fast forward 2 months, had to consider a new 'horse' so we went to CBD Appliance on a whim, as we never bought anything from them before. Fortunately, I was able to talk to Sharon Dixon, the owner and she went the extra mile to answer all my questions and address my concerns. This was a big-ticket item for us so we had to know as much as possible before buying. Sharon was truly like a good friend watching out for us and answered every question we had and advised which model is the best choice regardless of the price. Finally we decided on a model and bought it. The machine washes like a dream with only a 42 dba whisper. Fantastic customer service, wonderful machine, Sharon is indeed the person to go to, she will treat you like a friend. Thank you Sharon!'

The Roseville store was able to obtain a Viking built in fridge and a ANSO dishwasher during the pandemic shortage. They were knowledgeable, helpful and provided excellent communication. We would likely recommend them.
We also bought a wine fridge a few years ago and they were able to recommend an installer who did excellent work.

We have purchased many kitchen appliances from CDB over the last 25 yrs. Recently we completed a full kitchen remodel which included all new stainless appliances. We worked with the owner (Sharon), who was a pleasure to deal with. She never attempted to pressure us into buying a certain brand that we were not interested in. She did bring up an alternative to our microwave request that we had not known about. Although it was more expensive it has turned out to be an appliance that we use every single day.
CDB has been great with any issues we had with our appliances before, during, and after installation. We did search out multiple quotes when pricing out our kitchen appliances and CDB was able to offer us the best price total. Given that and the great customer service we received, we are very happy with our decision to do our business with CDB.

CBD is our "Go To" for any residential appliances either apartment style, standard home kitchen or very high end "professional" style appliances. They handle the top brands and always make good recommendations. Even through these difficult supply chain issues, I can count on them to get our products in a timely manner.
Great service and product knowledge. CBD can't be beat.

I was given the name of CBD by a friend who had a friend (you know how it goes) who used CBD to outfit their kitchen. I corresponded with Ms. Dixon about what I wanted and she was very helpful. CBD was very reliable in their quotes on the initial cost and the timeline as to when I would get things. The delivery fee from their location in California to my house is Reno was very reasonable. Overall my entire experience was very very good and thus far I have at least two friends who I have referred to CBD to outfit their kitchens.

While I rarely write reviews, I fee; compelled to do so for the folks at CBD. I can't imagine better customer service than that which they provided to me. When I had a problem with one of the appliances I had purchased from them years ago, they spent hours tracking down and providing me with replacement parts, some of which came from manufactures that they didn't even represent. Helpful, courteous, and well beyond anything that I could have expected. I will use them again and would recommend them highly.

We had our kitchen remodeled and our contractor, Amarant Design & Build, recommended California Builder Distributors, Inc. to purchase our Sharp drawer microwave (Model #SMD2489ES). Sharon handled our order and recommended the correct timing to have the microwave arrive in time for the contractor to install it, but not too early. She also provided us with documentation so that the warranty would not begin until the contractor had installed the microwave oven. CBD staff provided outstanding communication and service. We highly recommend this company and will purchase more appliances from them in the future.

Last October CBD Appliance worked very hard and effectively to help us buy a dishwasher to replace ours, which had failed. This was at a time when home appliance retailers were finding it very difficult to obtain dishwashers from their suppliers. CBD worked hard and fast to locate and obtain the dishwasher we wanted and to arrange for its installation.
We talked mainly to Michael, who had a extensive knowledge about the supply chain or dishwashers, about dishwashers in general and specifically about the dishwashers we wanted to buy. Michael always quickly returned our calls, and he was prompt, friendly and polite.

Hi Sharon, It is unfortunate that you chose to publicly air your grievances with someone you've never met and with whom you never reached out to prior to posting your comments. After we received this review, we reached out to you to identify your issues to see if we could assist. My understanding is that you were upset that we did not take ownership of the damages incurred to some appliances your purchased. Here's the issue, we delivered the items in excellent condition to one location. Your represestative and/or your contractor moved the items to a different location/residence then expected us to assume responsibilty for the damages since as you said the items were moved less than a mile away. We did our best to assist in making you whole, by getting the manufacturer to repair the two items (a dishwasher and a built-in Refrigerator) - we could see by the damages to both items that the damage was caused during transport to the location. It is inconceivable that were the units damaged when we delivered them, that you or your representative signed off on them only to claim damages after they were moved to the new location. Had you reached out to me prior to posting this, you would have learned that we do value our clients and work very hard to take care of them, but that does not include absorbing damages caused by the clients or the clients representatives actions. Warmest Regards

Sharon and her team have a wealth of knowledge and expertise, and spend time working with you to find the right appliances for your needs.

We were in the market to replace our 13 year old miele built in coffee machine. We found you while searching for a miele coffee machine provider. The good is that every one we talked to at your location during our mission to buy from you were very professional. The only small weak link was there were a few calls where our main contact was not available - but that really is a nit, isn't in on my part. Finally, when we picked up the machine, I forgot the lady who helped, but she stayed after working hours, she helped loading, and made sure we were happy when we left. thank you. Jim G.

I (we've) been customers of CBD for many years. Recently bought a microwave from them and have been very pleased with their recommendation.
When I was in business, as a design/build remodeling contractor, our main appliance source was CBD and we never had reason to doubt that they were the best, most empathetic to our needs. We would purchase what our clients had picked out at CBD and counted on Sharon and crew to always treat our clients with the utmost courtesy and extensive product knowledge. Our clients were always impressed and they gave CBD high marks.
I highly recommend CBD for your appliance needs.

I purchased my Bosch fridge and washer from Sharon at CBD. I wandered into their showroom one day while shopping for flooring in the area. They have a very impressive showroom and Sharon took extra time on a weekend to show me around and explain the different appliances. Her patience and extra attention to customer service led me to request a quote. CBD's quote was the best price I had gotton by over 1k. Very professional and knowledgable business and the installer they recommended was great as well. Five stars for sure.

Our shopping experience at California Builders Supply was a pleasure. On our first trip to CBD we were greeted by Sharon the owner and she showed us around and explained the pros and cons of each appliance that we were looking to purchase. We were going to remodel our kitchen and replace all appliances and she helped us make our decision easier. When we arrived for our second trip to CBD we were then greeted by Michael . He is very knowledgeable and after sharing his expertise with us he helped us seal the deal ! After receiving our new appliances Michael reached out to us a couple times to make sure we were extremely happy with our appliances.
The delivery experience was a pleasure as well!

We ordered all new kitchen appliances from CBD. The salesperson, Sharon Dixon, was very helpful in showing us the various appliances we were interested in and the transaction was handled very smoothly, including CBD personnel applying for all rebates we were entitled to receive from the manufacturer (Bosch). Also, CBD delayed delivery until our contractor was ready to install the appliances, which was also very helpful. It was a good experience dealing with CBD.

Sharon Dixon was extremely helpful in choosing the appliances for our kitchen remodel. She took the time to answer all questions and provided several really helpful suggestions during the design process. We started the design process in late 2018 for a project that was to start in early 2019.
Five days before Christmas our refrigerator died. I called Sharon and she had a new refrigerator delivered and installed within one day. It was the one we would need for our remodel. She is a miracle worker and I highly recommend her services and CBD

Sharon Dixon, the owner, was very responsive with my initial inquiry, a subsequent meeting at her showroom and during the ordering and delivering process as well as accomodating a few changes to my order since my wife changed her mind on a couple of items. Her team was responsive also and helped fill out the Bosch rebate forms to save me lots of time and energy. Her prices were better than the other local guys in Livermore and Pleasanton and since she's the owner, she'll make sure things are taken care of properly, I would go back to her should I need anything else.

I went to the CBD store on the recommendation of my appliance repair person, Nick, because we were looking for a new dishwasher. Julia was great and took her time describing the different features of the Bosch. We decided on the particular model we wanted, ordered it to be delivered in a timely manner with Nick picking up appliance and installing it. That night I realized I had ordered it in stainless steel which were the ones we looked at and I needed it in white. I called Julia the next morning & she was able to make the change. That probably would not have happened at a big box store. Definitely will shop CBD for the next appliance I need.

CBD recommended and installer. The installer was careful and quick.

Sharon is extremely professional and was very accommodating in the purchase of our dishwasher. We had the misfortune of receiving a defective unit. Sharon was very instrumental in making arrangements with the manufacturer service department and getting us VIP service. Once the repair was done, I received a personal follow-up call from Sharon where she made sure we were satisfied. It's refreshing to come across this level of customer service in today's marketplaces.
I highly recommend doing business with California Builder Distributors.

Excellent customer service, just as reviews had indicated. My dishwasher died shortly after COVID-19 shelter-in-place restrictions when into effect. I was really worried that stock would be limited and that delivery might be a problem. Sharon Dixon at CBD was so helpful and patient- very accessible and knowledgeable. She gave me lots of information to help guide my decision, coordinated arrangements with her installer and I had a new dishwasher THE NEXT DAY! Strongly recommend.

Sharon at CBD helped us pick-out a new, sleek over-the-range exhaust fan/light unit when we removed the builder installed micro oven. She also assisted us in locating a local, qualified, clean & professional installer.

Of all the vendors I had to deal with during the remodel of my kitchen, Sharon's was the best! She knows her stuff and gave me great advice every step along the way. Even when we ran into a delivery problem with one of the vendors, she stepped right up a took care of the problem. Because of her great advice, we are now loving and enjoying our remodeled kitchen! If there are other appliances we need in the future, Sharon will be my first call!

Sharon and her team at CBD Livermore are excellent! I started working with Sharon in 2015 when I had initially planned to build a house. When my plans changed, Sharon was willing and able to accommodate me to replace various appliances in the home I purchased. As a matter of fact, I just purchased a new dishwasher from her today, and the transaction was a breeze!
I highly recommend CBD to anyone who needs appliances!

CBD Appliance was great. They beat the price of the nearest competitor by about $500; were prompt and efficient. They kept our kitchen appliances in their warehouse until we were ready for delivery.

We've worked with Sharon and her team for several years, selecting appliances for two different houses (double ovens, new cooktops, refrigerator, sink, microwave drawer, compactor). The CBD team is extremely knowledgeable and provide excellent service. When we accidentally received a refrigerator that was the wrong model Sharon caught the error, contacted us and arranged for a credit. We're thrilled to recommend CBD!

BOSH Oven Model #HDIP054U/07
Was extremely disappointed in the design of the oven door as did not notice how sharp the outter corners of the oven door were until my leg was cut on the edge. Was taking a hot dish out of the oven and moving it to the oppose counter. My lower left leg bumped into the corner of oven door and cut by the very sharp edges. Could not fathom why the edges were not smoothed down. Called Bosh and they sent someone out to look at it but, of course, they couldn’t find anything wrong with their product. I had to call my contractor to come and file the edges down, something that should have been done at the factory. As well, the stainless steel scratches very easily when trying to clean around the top burners. As expensive as this stove was, would expect higher quality.

Hi Ann,
Sorry to hear you weren't happy with your purchase. I followed up with both your salesperson, Julia Tompkins as well as BSH Corporation, the manufacturer for Bosch and it would seem they did try their utmost best to make you a satisfied customer.
My Bosch rep indicated that they offered to replace the unit or refund your money, but you declined the offer. When I spoke with you, you intimated much the same.
Your desire if I interpreted it correctly, was to have them change the way the range was made. I'm certain Bosch will take that feedback to heart but will assess the validity of doing so based on the volume of complaints received from customers. We do sell quite a few of these units and to date have not received any similar complaints so doubt we would see a major change anytime soon.
Wish I could be of more help.
Warmest Regards.

Finally, the kitchen remodel is done. What a journey! We both learn so much during the process.
We bought all our appliances (stove, dish washer, hood & refrigerator) from CBD. Why ? Because of Sharon. Her customer service and knowledge is superb. Not only is she awesome, her staff also.
My husband is very detail oriented and Sharon patiently explained to him how things work. We were there for over 2 hours. Now, you won’t get this kind of service from the Big Box stores.
As for pricing, CBD is very competitive. With good service and good price; CBD got our business.

Sharon came to the rescue when I was in a time crunch and frustrated from my search for appliances. I had been looking at big box stores - Sears, Home Depot, Lowes, Airport Appliances, and just had no idea where to begin and what products out there were truly reliable. Not only did Sharon listen to all my needs, she helped steer me away from some of the features I was looking for because she honestly felt that other items were a better fit. Any time I had questions, I was able to call in and speak to her directly. After I'd decided on my items (fridge, stove, dishwasher, microwave oven, oven, hood), Sharon worked to calculate different options to get me my best deal. Once the package was finalized, she immediately provided spec sheets via email for my designer and contractor. Both of them were super impressed by CBD's service and mentioned that no other appliance store had offered this type of service.
A hiccup happened with my stove and the manufacturer ran out of stock. Sharon and team worked quickly to find me a replacement, an upgrade to be exact, and got it here as soon as they could.
I've had the appliances for over 4 months and I've had no issues so far. Overall, I'm very happy and impressed by the quality of service I received from CBD and wouldn't hesitate to use them again!

We needed to replace our GE microwave/oven and went back to CBD to purchase a new one. We had, after some research, picked out an oven and went to CBD to make the purchase. When we got there, the salesman looked up our records from the original purchase and told us that there was an updated model of the same GE microwave. We ended up purchasing that. Saved us money and the installation was simply and take old one out, put new one in. It was much easier than we expected.

I am writing a review of CBD now instead of when I should have in late 2015 when I didn't get around to it, because I recently contacted Sharon Dixon of CBD for guidance on how to handle a manufacturer warranty and found her customer service now to be just as exceptional as when we initially purchased that appliance from her. Although we purchased from her over two years ago, Sharon was as responsive now as when we were a potential customer, and even went well "above and beyond" to resolve my recent issue when she had no obligation to do so. When we purchased from CBD, we were doing a complete kitchen remodel and, after visiting numerous distributors, purchased almost all our appliances, sinks and faucets from Sharon. Sharon carries a great range of quality brands at different price levels, has very fair prices, is professional and honest, was very patient with our slow selection process, and thoroughly knows appliances. She guided us to ones that would best meet our cooking style, would blend well in appearance, and met our goals for our kitchen. She and the other CBD personnel are A+.

We enjoyed working with Sharon at CBD. Her advice, product knowledge and her execution were excellent. We remodeled our kitchen, buying two new appliances (hood and oven while reusing our other fairly new appliances), sink and plumbing fixtures from CBD. She advised product trends that resulted in a cabinet design modification for a future product. When there was a problem Sharon went to work immediately to resolve it (a sink was broken in transit and she expedited a replacement from Germany) so as not to delay our contractor and our project. We couldn't be more pleased. We have already recommended CDB and Sharon to our friends and we will continue to do business with her in the future.

Both concerns were connected to the installers, but she still worked with me and the companies to remedy the situations. She went above and beyond to give EXCELLENT customer service!

My mother and I went into CBS to look at high end cooktops as part of a remodel of my mother's kitchen, and Julia helped us. She also helped us with our microwave, recommending we replace it with a hood, which we did. She spent some quality time explaining the different models and educating us on the various features, benefits and disadvantages. Although we could have purchased it from online, we ended up buying a DCS cooktop from CBS mostly due to our trust in Julia and her outstanding customer service.

If you are overwhelmed with the wide variety of appliances, where to see a good selection and find competitive prices, look no more! We'd go to showrooms and they didn't have what we thought we might want and didn't really know what would work for us, so we'd go home just as confused as when we started until we met Sharon at CBD! She asked all the right questions, determined what would work with our budget and showed us a great selection of options, emailed the quotes to us and worked with us until we had what we needed. You don't have to sit on product in your garage while your warranty runs. They can hold them and deliver the day you need them, then the warranty on your products begins. Sharon is so incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and cares that you get the right product for your home. I can't say enough good things about Sharon and CBD!

I was so pleased to find a local showroom to pick my commercial-style range from. CBD Appliance in Rocklin, CA was very courteous and helpful in informing me on my purchase. They even called the manufacturer (Blue Star) when I had questions they weren't 100% sure about. So much better than a salesman with off the cuff answers that I would have come to regret later. Additionally, my gliding oven rack was not included with the original shipment and all it took was 1 call!!! Julia had contacted the distributor, vouched that it was not included, and had it shipped ASAP. I didn't have to be a squeaky wheel and that's saying something!

My review is not based on one project but more than a 100. My company and I have been working with CBD for over 30 years. In fact, it is the only appliance supplier that our company ever has worked with. The reasoning is simple but profound; they are not only truly professionals in what they offer and their product knowledge but they stand behind every order we have ever placed. They are our advocate whether dealing with delivery schedules to issues that might arise with the manufactures. Their honesty and integrity is their greatest asset which is why there has never been a reason to buy elsewhere. ALL of our clients have been extremely satisfied with their dealings with them. We highly regard this firm and their representatives and recommend them to anyone who wants this kind of outstanding service.

CBD and working with Sharon is a plus. They are one of my favorite vendors. I know I can send a client to get all the critical information and choices when it comes to kitchen appliances. I can also give her preliminary budgets and looks before she meets with the client and she meets these expectations with great choices. They also stand behind their products and their company.

Sharon and her other employees were friendly and helpful. I will definitely use them in the future when I replace appliances. Sharon called two different installers and we made the decision on the best price and time frame for installation.

Sharon at CBD was a pleasure to work with. She provides quotes really quickly and they are always informative and then when it was time to place the order she was just as responsive, A+ company.

Sharon Dixon at California Builder Distributors, Inc. was a dream to work with in every aspect of our kitchen remodel project. The showroom at CBD is well organized and provides an excellent overview of top-rated appliances at every price level. Sharon gave us a tour of the showroom (my husband calls it "Intro to Kitchen Appliances 101)and gave us excellent advice on which appliances (we needed everything) to select that would be suitable for our needs. She then gave great guidance on which appliances to select for compatibility with each other. The prices she offered were excellent--much better than those offered by large box and discount stores, and she made sure that we would receive all eligible rebates. The company worked seamlessly with our contractor to store and then deliver our appliances as they were needed for installation. The refrigerator arrived with a small dent that had been hidden under the wrappings so was invisible when inspected at the warehouse. Sharon had warned us in advance of our purchase that the customer service for the manufacturer was not helpful, but it was exactly the refrigerator we wanted so we ordered it anyway. Her warning was correct, but Sharon took it upon herself to spend hours with the manufacturer to ensure that the problem would be corrected. We've been in our kitchen for a year now, and we love it. The appliances all look beautiful and function exactly as we had hoped.

My contractor referred us to CBD as a good place to go for appliances. Having done the usual round of checking out appliance stores ourselves, we found the selection and service at CBD a welcome change--top-quality appliances and a very knowledgable advisor with a service-oriented, no-pressure sales approach. We ended up with appliances that perfectly meet our aesthetic preferences and functional needs at a very reasonable cost. CBD stored the appliances after they came in for several months until we were ready for installation and then delivered them on schedule and in perfect condition. Anyone considering new appliances should skip the usual stores and go directly to CBD.

I am a designer who has worked with California Builder Distributors for 20 years. I depend on Sharon to lead my clients to the appliances that are best suited for their needs. Sharon will work either at the showroom or through emails putting together a few packages of options for each client. She is professional, thorough, knowledgeable, warm and wonderful to work with. Neither my clients or myself have ever been disappointed.

We were previous customers and went back to CBD when we purchased another home. Our sales consultant, Julia, knew our new home as she had made a house visit and assisted the previous owners with appliance selection. They are exactly what we would have chosen. We are very pleased with the new appliances Julia recommended for our casita and new outdoor kitchen. One of the appliances arrived with a tiny dent in front (due to packing design) but Julia went the extra mile with the manufacturer to make it right for us. The installer recommended by CBD was also excellent. He not only installed the appliances but is a skilled cabinet maker who was able to alter some existing cabinetry to accommodate our new appliances. One would never know they were altered and the new doors and drawers are a perfect match.

I came across Julia, at CBD Appliances, several years ago when I had a client who knew exactly what he wanted in appliances and was price shopping. Julia was the only appliance rep that pointed out the appliance model numbers were old numbers, provided us with new numbers, and still beat everyone's pricing. Since that day, I recommend all my clients to Julia, at CBD Appliances. She if very knowledgeable, she tries to find out how you like to cook, to help advise you the products that best suit your needs, and will educate you on the differences from one brand to another, or one model to another.

I'm a long-time general building contractor and have dealt with several appliance distributors over the years. My experience with CBD is ongoing as I started doing business with the company several years back and continue to order all my appliances from them to this day. The staff is professional and courteous- from my salesperson Michael to Willie in delivery- they always meet my expectations. Quotes are accompanied by detailed specs, prices are competitive, deliveries are on-time. Manufacturer rebates, when they occur, are passed thru to the customer and CBD handles all the paperwork! Delivery slips include serial numbers for each appliance and, if your old appliances have been removed, they take them away for a small additional cost. The owner, Sharon, has put together a team of professionals who make purchasing appliances a snap! I highly recommend this company

We purchased a built-in refrigerator and double wall oven from CBD on separate occasions during the last four years and could not be more satisfied with the experiences. Sharon and staff at CBD are very friendly and helpful. They know their products well, offer them at fair prices and provide exceptional support. When the stainless steel skins on our new ovens were accidentally dented during installation, CBD arranged to have them replaced free of charge. We will definitely turn to CBD as we upgrade other appliances in our 26 year-old home.

The quotes were quick and very thorough. I contacted 4 appliance stores and CBD was by far the most responsive of the bunch. Also their quote was the lowest. Delivery was good.

A perfectly easy transaction. I'd buy from CBD again.

Very knowledgable staff who weren't pushy at all, and didn't try to upsell. Very satisifed with customer service, and the prices were the best we could find anywhere (including online retailers).

We just recently completed a very extensive remodel. When it came time to select kitchen appliances we were directed by our contractor to a reputable appliance distributor in the area. We got initial pricing from them, and were about to place our order when a friend told us of CBD, the great prices they were getting, ( for their remodel) as well as the wonderful customer service they had received from Sharon Dixon and her associates. So we stopped by CBD, and it proved to be the best move ever. Sharon WAS as reported. She was personable, informative, extremely well versed on her products, patient with our selection process, and willing to get us every possible rebate then available for the appliances we selected. Bottom line her prices were markedly better than the SAME products we had initially priced with the other company. We actually had a glitch with one of our cabinet measurements that wasn't discovered until the appliance had been delivered on the job. Sharon cheerfully returned the appliance for us with a nominal restocking fee, and expediently reordered the correct size model. CBD and Sharon were one of the best sub-contactors we worked with on our entire job.

CBD was very helpful and diligent every step of the way in servicing our Project. We had multiple selections from an Owner and they provided pricing and re-pricing quickly. I would recommend CBD for your Project.

We purchased a full set of kitchen appliances (GE Cafe) from California Builder Distributors in 2013. They were most professional, informative, and fair. Sharon took time to walk us through the store and answered all of our many questions. She really went out of her way and far above and beyond to make sure we were happy customers. We feel very fortunate to have found her and her business. We were so pleased with our appliances that when our washer and dryer needed replacing a few months ago, California Builder Distributors, Inc. was our first call and Sharon had new ones (Speed Queen Commercial Heavy Duty) ready for us to be delivered that same day. We accepted delivery a few days later and absolutely love our new washer and dryer. We are very careful about the companies we do business with when it comes to big purchases, such as appliances, and do not trust just anyone. Everyone at California Builder Distributors worked hard to make sure we were happy. Their kindness, generosity, and professionalism made us loyal customers. We highly recommend them to anyone.

I was referred to CBD when remodeling my kitchen for great prices and excellent help on choosing appliances. I ordered a stove top, oven, dishwasher, and microwave with a strong enough fan since I had no room for a hood. When the vendor modified their special to offer a free dishwasher with a single oven as well as a double oven, my sales associate called me back and I changed my dishwasher order to that brand, upgrading to the model I wanted. This saved me over $1000. They kept my appliances until my contractor was ready for them. I was extremely pleased with CBD from start to finish for their friendliness, professional behavior, attention to my needs, variety of products, and excellent value.

I had a very positive experience with California Builder Distributors.
Their prices were better than the discount stores I researched.
Written quoted prices were honored when the price of the appliances were raised. I got a discount on a dishwasher I was planning to buy that another buyer bought and returned that was out of the box but still had the plastic and strapping tape attached.
An additional service was that they stored the 4 appliances for my kitchen without any charges. Appliances were ordered in September 2014 and delivered in February or March this year.
I found this company on the net and decided to buy locally in Livermore if possible. I have and will continue to refer friends and family to California Builders Distributors.

CBD has done an excellent job of recommending products for our kitchen remodeling, kept us informed of order status and replaced an appliance that turned out to be defective without any hassle whatsoever.
The people in this business are not only helpful with ideas and alternatives, but extremely friendly and engaging, not something I've historically found in appliance stores. They actually steered us away from a more expensive appliance to a less expensive one because they had the same functionality for hundreds of dollars less - that's the kind of honesty we appreciate.
They also worked with us on pricing and we feel we received top quality appliances at a very fair price. We bought a new range top, hood, double oven and microwave.

We worked with Michael for the whole project. Sharon was also quite helpful throughout the process. We were able to compare prices of multiple appliance packages and were given pros and cons of each package. We chose a mid-priced appliance package and had to have the appliances held in the warehouse at CBD which was totally fine with them. We were very pleased that when we finally were ready for delivery, CBD was ready and accommodating with our schedule. The delivery people were kind and punctual. We have enjoyed our appliances immensely! Thanks to all who made this part of our remodel a success!

I became acquainted with Sharon Dixon and California Builder Distributors (CBD), Inc as a result of a service call to my home for an oven door that could not be replaced. The service provider stated that if they were in the market for a kitchen appliance, CBD was the only place that they would trust for such a purchase.
I contacted Sharon Dixon for an appointment. At the appointment, I was impressed by the interior of the CBD showroom, how personable and knowledgeable Sharon was, and that she did not try to convince me to buy something that did not fit my needs or budget. I was provided three gas range options for my kitchen and decided on a Dacor range. This decision was based on Sharon's recommendations ( as I had an over-the-range Dacor microwave) and knowledge of the product's ease of use and history of being an excellent and trouble-free product. In addition, Sharon provided me with a list of competent and affordable contractors to deliver and install the unit. The contractor that installed the unit was great.
I am extremely satisfied with my beautiful Dacor gas range as Sharon said that I would be. My experience with CBD was a great one. I wished that I would have had known of CBD ten years ago when I did my initial kitchen renovation. I will definitely use California Builders Distributors again and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for great service, product knowledge-ability, professionalism, and customer satisfaction- then CBD is for you!

When it came time to replace my double oven I shopped around, looking at different brands in different price ranges. After deciding on the new Dacor I chose California Builder Distributors based on previous purchases and service. Their price was the same as all the other dealers for the Dacor but I did receive a small discount as a previous customer and that helped. They've been around for decades and were able to answer all of my questions. They carry most brands and were supportive of my decision on the Dacor brand. They recommended an installer who was qualified and professional. I've been very happy with the oven and the service provided by CBD.

I would get a call from her on weekends and after work hours responding to questions I had.

She even filled out the rebate paperwork. We had one hiccup and a service person was sent to the house immediately and there was no issue with California Builders picking up the cost. I have referred many neighborhood friends here, even though my neighborhood of Eichler homes is across the Bay from CBD. The work provided and the appliance selection is outstanding.

When we bought our first home a few years ago, we didn't like the kitchen setup and since both my wife and I love to cook, we decided to upgrade to 'chef' kitchen. I researched several appliances store in the Bay Area and wasn't happy with them until I came upon the wonderful Miss Sharon Dixon, miss Dixon is a true professional who loves her company, her staff and most of all her customers and would be customers. I would not be lying if I didn't put her though many trying moments, questions and indecisions and that's was before purchasing anything from. She doled out great advises and suggestions and her knowledge of products is vast and her pricing is fair. She convinced me to go away from our original plans cause it didn't make sense. We ended up having CBD upgrade all of our kitchen appliances- conduction cooktop, wall ovens, fridge, vent hood and wine fridge!!!! The only problem I have with her is that she is so busy that I can never get her to come to our home and have dinner with us in our amazing kitchen. Thank you Sharon.

My husband and I met Julia when we were shopping for appliances for a kitchen remodel. It was a wonderful experience. Julia brought up considerations which were most valid and resulted in us finding the perfect appliances and simple things like a sink. I love my new Dacor range, warming drawer and microwave oven. While these items were on the high end of our purchases, considerable time was also given to the small things -- like a sink and faucet. I love my new sink and while no where near the cost of a range -- I spend more time at the sink than at the range. Julia helped us think through all that needs to be considered when making decisions.
Thank you!

I have bought my entire kitchen appliances through Sharon Dixon at CBD Appliances three times now. Once for my own home, and twice for rental units. Every time I was very pleased with the transaction. I never had any problems at all. Sharon made sure I got my rebates, and also went to bat for me when a manufacturer was balking on a problem with their goods. She made it all good.
I had also shopped all around the discount stores and other appliance suppliers, and each time they beat the lowest price by a considerable amount. I have recommended them several times to friends and family. I started working with them in 2003 and I just finished my latest project last year.

I purchased several major appliances from CBD for a new rural home we built between 2009 and 2012. It was a pleasure to work with Sharon, who offered (and delivered) excellent prices and where appropriate, worked with us to find rebates on certain eligible items. Because of the rural location and strange schedule I had for access to trucks for picking up our new appliances, Sharon was very helpful in arranging meeting or drop off times so that I could coordinate with the truck I was using to move the appliances to our construction site. I will certainly work with CBD again in the future when I have need of more appliances.

One time we were dissatisfied with the performance of a range hood she had suggested. We installed it, and wasn't what we needed. She actually made an arrangement with the manufacturer to take it back. Great service, highly recommended.

We were extremely pleased with CBD and have used their services in procuring appliances for three kitchens over the past 10 years(> $35K).Sharon Dixon provided exemplary service too us on our recent purchase of SS Monogram appliances. Sharon’s knowledge of all brands and models was such that we had confidence that our selection would meet our needs, expectations and cost point. In summery Sharon’s professionalism, experience and knowledge of the appliance market is second to none. We will not hesitate utilizing CBD and Sharon again, and believe CBD and Sharon are a duo that would be very hard to beat.

Julia Thompkins and the crew at CBD have consistently done an excellent job at providing helpful, unbiased, current, and professional information to me and the clients I send to her. The products, service, delivery and timeliness are all a part of what we get when we contract with them. As a general contractor, I need great team players, and Julia at CBD (California Builder Distributors) is one of them.

I moved into my new home in March, 2012. Sharon Dixon of CBD was my sales representative.
I purchased a gas range, over the range microwave/speed cooker and refrigerator. Sharon gave exemplary customer service and kept in constant communication with me regarding every detail including references for installation. She was available for any questions I had.
I would highly recommend Sharon for any project.

CBD is a place where you will find some of the most knowledgable people in the industry and their showroom lacks nothing. It worth the trip to Livermore.

CBD ordered a special commercial quiet dishwasher (Summit) for me- They were the only distributor in the area to obtain this popular east coast - yet not widely know on the west coast manufacturer. They notified me upon its arrival and I picked it up in good order from their organized warehouse. The purchasing experience was great from beginning to end, and I would recommend to anyone.
