Cabinet Installers in Alum Rock

“Anne Marie was wonderful to work with! She designed the layout of our kitchen cabinets and gave suggestions when I was stuck on color to match the granite. I am so glad we used Lazy Suzan Designs in our kitchen remodel!”

“Vadzim was the perfect cabinetmaker. He made cabinets throughout our entire home -- new kitchen with new island, family room, living room, media room, custom children's hallway, bathroom vanity, custom mantle, laundry room, and kitchen table. He was also responsible for the finishing touches, such as the handrails on the stairs and the crown molding. He was very responsive and turned around requests quickly. He was thoughtful - in many cases more thoughtful than we were. He really helped us think through the uses of the cabinetry and made excellent suggestions for improvement that integrated the design of our whole home. For example he asked us to make the countertops thicker to ensure outlet plug strips were hidden. His designs were perfect and thoughtful, down to the fraction of an inch. He also crafted a custom table for us when we couldn't find a white oval table in the right dimensions. Even with all of this excellent attention to detail and responsiveness, he was considerate of our budget. For example we were able to re-use some old kitchen drawers with new faces, and he sent us a high-end and low-end set of hardware to choose from for a very large door. Vadzim takes great pride in his work and is truly an artist with an appreciation for functionality. The cabinetry is all beautiful and works perfectly - all of it. We will absolutely use him again for every custom cabinetry need we have in the future.”

“Ken Clarke from Eurowood Custom Cabinetry was referred to me by my contractor at the onset of our remodeling project. Ken's planning, attention to detail and cabinetry installation were absolutely stellar. He made several suggestions along the way which have turned out to be fantastic in the end! I also wanted to point out that during the course of the remodel, several design changes had to be made to the cabinetry which Ken took care of very gracefully. I cannot recommend Ken and his crew highly enough!”

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

“Joe was the top choice when my mom did her kitchen remodel. The other cabinetry men that met with her were condescending, rude and downright unprofessional (telling her she did not know what she wanted, etc.). Joe was a breath of fresh air - he treated my mom with kindness, listened to her, and delivered beautiful cabinets (including adding personal touches where able). He even came back months later to address and issue and fixed it at no charge. When it came time to do my kitchen and bathroom (and a custom broom closet), Joe was the only person I called. He's a great partner and does awesome work!!!”

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

“As an architect and interior designer I am always looking for great cabinet shops to work with. Mod Cabinetry offers both an impressive product and outstanding customer service. Their Online catalog makes it easy for designers to browse available styles and sizes. They also offer an online design tool, which we don't use but is a great tool for customers who don't come with their own software. In addition to what's shown in their catalog Mod can also accommodate a great number of customization requests. Their clean lined cabinets are solidly built using American hardwood plywood and non toxic glues and finishes. In addition to a good selection of wood finishes in both Shaker Style and slab doors they also offer custom paint color finishes. Overall Mod's product really fills a hole in the market for projects that can't afford or don't require fully custom cabinetry but are looking for alternative and step up from Ikea or Craft Maid. I have worked with Mod Cabinetry on several projects so far and it has been a great experience every time. Both owner and staff are extremely knowledgeable and responsive and dedicated to the success of each project.”

“Ron was great to work with. He listened to what we wanted and also had great suggestions of his own. He is extremely meticulous and detailed. He has done two bathrooms and 2 sets of built-ins around our fireplace, and was on time. He is currently working on our kitchen. We were tight on space in one of the bathrooms and he modified the cabinets so they weren't as deep. They turned out great; Everyone comments on the quality and how spacious our bathroom is----little did they know we were counting inches.”

“As in Interior Designer, I have collaborated with Steve on several kitchen and bath projects in Alamo, Lafayette & Walnut Creek, California. Regardless of the scope, cabinet upgrades or a kitchen redesign, he is professional and mindful of the client's goal as well as their budget. Steve gives a considerable amount of attention to detail in his layouts: counter & storage space, island design, lighting, ventilation systems and recycling needs. I find him a true joy to work with and would recommend him for any project. He is on my "short list" of kitchen and bath designers. - Carol”

“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.”
