California Designers Choice Custom Cabinetry

We didn’t even hire this company for our master bath remodel, because Mark, who came out, was so arrogant and rude. And he insisted that he would put in the cabinet before the tile (I wanted tile underneath the cabinet), because «that’s the way custom homes do it.» I wanted under the cabinet tiled, whether or not we decided to put legs on the the cabinet. (Maybe he doesn’t do legs either if that’s too hard.) He also insisted the height needed to be what he wanted and not what I wanted, based on my own experience, and he refused my request for a removable back to the cabinet beneath the sink (we have in-​wall faucets, with a shut off valve, but there’s no access on the other side of the wall without going through a custom closet lined with cedar, so I just wanted all my bases covered). Every other custom cabinetmaker we got estimates from – and there were 5 – had no problem with this and, in fact thought it was a great idea. The lack of interest in working with customers and potential customers in designing the cabinetry makes me think there’s some serious prefab stuff going on here. Mark came out came out, he took measurements, and then never got back to me. After a couple of weeks, I called for the estimate (might as well, even though the likelihood I’d hire him was slim), without even so much as a phone call in return. Our bathroom is now finished, and it and its cabinets are now absolutely stunning and perfect, with all of my ideas incorporated. The wonderful cabinetmaker we used liked the idea of the removable back to the cabinets so much he said he’s going to start offering that as an option.

Dollar per value these guys are unbeatable! The gal who posted a low review, I messaged her and she said everything turned-​out okay and she never took the time to revise her review. My wife and I really enjoyed designing out kitchen with Mark, his computer system and office were incredibly impressive and he realy knows all the options. Be advised, a LOT of cabinet companies actually buy their doors from these people… why not buy and work direct with the source? Our kitchen turned-​out amazing and what’s most important is that any issues were promptly and professionaly addressed… I stand by these guys 100% and their prices, service and quality is outstanding.

I love my cabinets! I’ve had them do work in my home and for my business. The staff is wonderful and very professional. They keep their work area clean and tidy. They’ve done all my cabinetry in my home, kitchen, baths, laundry, and entertainment center. They have great ideas and used our space well.
In my office they created the most incredible board room and I’ve never seen anything else like it. Beautiful, modern, streamline design and we get nothing but compliments on the finished product. Easy to work with and I would recommend to everyone!

Delays, broken promises, and deceptions.
Relationship got of to a good start, good ideas for our custom kitchen, 3 bath vanities and laundry room then once it came time to do the work the wheels fell off. His delays and non-​communication with both us and our general contractor caused delay to our entire house remodel of weeks.
Once his team started work, they continued to miss deadlines, and Mark would tell us what seemed to be lies.
The work is nice, but not worth the hassle. We had another trim carpenter do amazing work on another room in a fraction of the time. If Mark can pull through I these next few days and deliver as promised, I would give back a few stars. At this point I would never recommend him to anyone.

These guys are great… Top notch quality, professionalism, and attention to detail. We had custom cabinets fabricated and installed in three bathrooms by California Designer’s Choice recently and they all turned out great. It was by far the best experience we had with any subcontractor that worked on our year-​long remodel.
