Bay Area Molding & Door

Bay Area Molding and Door, or better known as BAM brings a level of professionalism, artistic and fine finish skill that is unmatched. We brought BAM into our home remodel project 6 months after we had hired/​fired another team. After we thought our home project was a disaster, BAM came in and transformed our home. To this day we, and anyone who comes to our home is amazed with the work that was completed. The whole team from sales to installers are a pleasure to work with and they do their work with pride. The entire team is detailed oriented, on time, listen to your concerns, and are willing to make sure you, the client is happy and satisfied. Highly recommend and will be using them again.

LOVE LOVE LOVE our master suite remodel and one of the most beautiful choices were the Stile Line doors from Bay Area Moldings and Doors, thank you Brian and Melissa!
The Lynden StileLine barn doors and bedroom door fit the style of the master suite remodel perfectly. We gave them a clear finish, allowing the grain and the natural beauty of the mahogany to shine within the space. The bedroom door is the first thing you see when coming around the hall corner, and that door makes a bold statement, just seeing that gorgeous door and reaching for the lever makes me feel immediately relaxed and pampered, even before I enter the room. Note Brian that you were right, the smaller angle of the Emtek lever (looks amazing and modern) makes opening the door phenomenally easy even if my hands are full of laundry, so thank you!
Using the barn door on the closet and bedroom gives a modern feeling of efficiency and a sense of open space within this small master suite. And because the solid core of the doors blocks most sound, this truly feels like a private peaceful sanctuary. We are so happy that we ordered all the doors on that side of the house switched to match the new doors.
Thank you, Brian and Melissa!
(PS not only are these our favorite doors, but they were the least expensive options, what a find!!!)

We’ve made several purchases though Bay Area Molding and Door. Their customer service has been top notch, and their prices are the best we have found. Even better, they can often get doors in much quicker than any other place we checked out.

I purchased a JELD-​WEN fiberglass exterior front door from Bay Area Molding & Door in July 2013. Last year we found a defect on the door, and Jeld-​Wen decided to send us a replacement door slab. Both Brian and the owner, Bobby, were extremely supportive and scheduled the installation to accommodate my tight calendar. They sent their best technician Greg who spent 5 hours carefully installing the new door slab and the door lock. All these good work are under Bay Area Molding & Door’s warranty. This is what I consider the best customer service in the industry. I would like to recognize Bay Area Molding & Door for its wonderful service.

Professional… easy to work with… on time… excellent quality! Had a door and molding installed between the kitchen and the living/​dining room. Jon suggested a swinging style door that I had never even considered. I love it!

I’m obsessed with the new molding in my kitchen! Bobby came out, gave a detailed quote of all the different locations I was thinking of putting crown so that I could do it on phases.
On install day: Nick came out and completed my kitchen job in one day! He was friendly, on time and did a phenomenal job! His work was detailed and beautiful. I’m very much looking forward to getting more crown done from this team in the future.
The one area that could be tightened up would be communication leading up to the appointment. O had to call/​email to confirm the install appt — which isn’t a big deal, but I know it might be something that could elevate this business.
Thank you Nick and Bobby!

Thank you for the great service, competitive prices and good quality products. I had a great experience ordering a number of sliding mirrored closet doors. The company quickly got me a quote, set up delivery and was great about calling to let me know they were on their way. I will be using this company again.

Fine finish carpentry can make a home look like a million bucks. But when planned and installed by the right people — it can make a home look like a true work of art. The team at Bay Area Molding and Door was incredible. They single-​handedly helped me to turn my very old home into a masterpiece of clean, crisp lines and bold design. I remodeled a 2,400 square foot home, and hired Bay Area Molding & Door to do all of the crown molding, baseboards, doors, wainscoting, window casings, closets, front doors, stair case balusters, ceiling beams, painting (entire interior of home), and more. I can vouch for the fact that each and every piece of their work is the best work I’ve got in my entire home (with an entire remodel, there is a lot to compare to). Their work is incomparable — I go to other people’s homes now and observe their crown molding and baseboard; I notice «seam-​lines» and other imperfections, NONE of which are present in my home. I know that this team’s work will withstand the test of time — it was money well spent having their guys install everything — their finished product speaks for itself and is solid work. Buying materials is one thing, but having Bay Area Molding do your installation is where the real value is.
Apart from meticulous and perfect installation, the staff in their shop is dedicated, honest, and sincere. Each and every individual worked closely with me to make sure I was happy (and I know I am far from their biggest customer). I could go on and on about the staff and the work they do, because I am simply still SO happy with what they have done for my home. I made an investment with these guys, and it pays itself off every day when I see the beauty of their work. I will absolutely be hiring Bay Area Molding and Door for future projects. The only «buyer beware» note here is that once you get some work done in your home, you are always looking for other ways to get more carpentry/​molding work done, as it is one of the easiest ways to create beauty and class in any home — when done with Bay Area Molding and Door’s immaculate perfectionism. Thank you guys so much!

Had this family owned shop come out and redo the crown molding throughout the house (tearing out old crown molding and replacing with larger crown). Jon came out and did the quote. Prices were competitive based on the 3 – 4 other quotes I got. In the end, I went with them because the appeared more knowledgeable about putting up crown around an archway.
Everything turned out great. They were very upfront regarding addressing questions and issues I had.

I hired this company to replace all my doors, including closet doors, molding and baseboard in the upstairs of my house. I had considered getting retrofit doors from another company and am so glad I didn’t.
They replaced the door, plus the door jamb and casing. This is important because most door jambs and casings are pretty beat up. With the closet doors they build a wood casing and trim around the closet before installing the doors. The closet doors glide so smoothly! They also installed all new baseboard. Everything was painted in their shop and then touched up after it was installed.
I couldn’t be happier with the result. It looks like a new house! Everyone I worked with was super nice and professional. They take pride in their work! The work was completed in just a few days. I can’t wait to have them do my downstairs.

UPDATE UPDATE!!!
I’m pleased to say Jon one of the owners contacted me soon after my Unilocal review and stayed true to his satisfaction guaranteed policy, Thank you Jon!

I love those guys and their business. They really took good care of you and they do work around your budget. They also are dog lover and has been great to my dogs. I can see they like them so i know they’ve been treated well. I have to say I’ve had other estimates and boy, BAM&D’s price came far lower other other estimates and it included many features like new doors while others do not include those. They did great custom work matching my vision, too.
Not only that but they’re open to mentoring my student at my school where I teach to help expand my student’s work experience. How cool is that?!

Brian and Bobby are the best. Have been using them for the past 5 years with no issues. They carry the best quality products or if you really want the cheapo stuff. Ordered all my doors/​windows/​trim/​moldings from these guys. They took care of my warranties issues as well if needed. Have no issues referring to family and friends. Keep up the good work guys.

I’m a contractor. I have bought from this place twice. I have received damaged and incorrect merchandise both times. The level of service is borderline rude. They rush you to place your order as if they didn’t want the business. No advice, no professional opinion, just the same service you get at home depot. They get 2 stars because its in Fremont which is closer to me than the moulding store in Santa Clara.
I added another star because Brian, their manager gave me a call. He went out of the way to track me down. Shows his commitment to customer service. I will be dealing with him personally for future orders.

We just completed a whole house door and molding project. We could not have been more pleased. The entire team was timely, professional and excel at what they do. They are easy to work with, mindful of your home and are attention to detail oriented. Believe me — I am a detail freak. We could not ask for more.
Not only that but they were willing to help with small matters that are very customer service oriented. I high recommend that you look no further. If you need a personal referral ask Jon and we are happy to speak with you.

Very. Very. Very happy with their work. We had wainscoting installed in our entry, down our hallway and up our staircase, along with the addition of a chair rail. Nick did the wainscoting work and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is such a great guy and my kids and I enjoyed seeing him everyday he was in our home. He is a very skilled worker, very detail oriented and does incredible work! It really could not have turned out any better. And I personally am a very detailed oriented person that is hard to please and I thought his work was amazing! This was my first time working with wainscoting and he spent the time talking to me about the basics and involved me in every aspect of the planning and spacing of the custom wainscoting. It was not only so much fun to be apart of the process but it turned out EXACTLY how I wanted it. Great work guys. I look forward to bringing them back in to do more molding projects in our home. And to top to off I though their prices were very resonable for custom work.

Was in the market for crown molding second time around (and hopefully the last time). I called these guys without hesitation after my first experience.
The owner delivered the order and after we realized I selected the wrong product he went out of his way to make sure we got the right size. Good old customer service is hard to find these days.
Thanks Bobby!

We interviewed two contractors to install crown molding and beams at our home. Bay Area Molding (BAM) was the more expensive of the two, but their knowledge and experience convinced us that they would be the better choice. They did not disappoint and did an excellent job on our home.
A brief description of our home would be helpful here. It is 13 years old, has 2100 square feet and four bedrooms, and has an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings in one room that are at least 16 feet high. Jon Stenrose at BAM was the lead contractor on our job and Julio the lead on the actual work. Jon and Julio were very creative in their approach to a contemporary design for the beams that worked beautifully in our home. We have since received numerous compliments from neighbors and friends.
The craftsmanship on both the crown molding and the beams was superior. Julio is an expert at cutting and fitting crown molding so that the joints are tight, and minimal downstream caulking has to be done to make it all look great. Our master bedroom and bath, in particular, had several challenging angles, but they were able to negotiate all of that beautifully.
It is also worth noting here that BAM was very neat. Every day when we would come home, boards and other items were arranged neatly in the garage and there was no mess evident in the house. Additionally, all of the cutting of the crown molding was down outside so that the garage stayed neat and relatively free of sawdust – not completely free of it but this would have been an unrealistic expectation.
I should also note here that BAM contracts with a third-​party for the painting and it is very expensive if you choose this option. We hired our own painter – who did an excellent job – and saved $ 5000 just on the cost of painting the beams.
I highly recommend BAM. They are meticulous and clearly take a lot of pride in what they do. They are not cheap, but are well worth the price give the quality of the work. We will use them again if the need arises.

I was really apprehensive about this. We just put in new floors and my wife was really nervous about «more workers» in the house and about damage they may do to the new floors. She also suggested I should do this myself since I’ve done all the work in the past. As I get older I’m less patient and don’t want to deal with detail work like this. Now that it’s done, I’d say money well spent.
I met with John and talked about our needs. We wanted to do all interior doors (8 of them) and casing on the old front door and slider and new matching baseboards. The total price was a bit high for my budget (mostly in doors), so we opted to just purchase the baseboards and install ourselves (at John’s suggestion — they pre-​paint them for you and they come in a nice long 20 ft length). This helped my budget angst.
In the time between the order and install I was supposed to confirm door style and paint color. We new the color, but were stuck on the style. When I spoke to John again he made some suggestions which resulted in a kind of a compromise between our original ideas and his. The result was perfect. We had the old six panel wood grain style and this time went two panel flat. These are offset with new oil rubbed bronze hardware and it REALLY set the new floors off. The whole house looks much more finished and current. I still have a couple more base boards to finish, but don’t expect it to take long.
What really impressed me was the crew. The installer was a real finish carpenter and it showed in the care he took to plumb everything and «offset» some of the 35 year old house’s issues. Every door frame was built from scratch and he even installed our hardware that we had purchased ourselves.
On the last day the «touch up» guy filled and painted all holes and caulked all edges — even the crown that I’d done myself years ago!
Each worker cleaned up after themselves, they were polite and friendly, cared for our floors and home, and went the extra mile. We were left with extra paint too.
Although it wasn’t cheap, the price was competitive to others and the end result was better than I expected. Kudos to the company and crew and a huge thank you — John, Tommy, Julio and Juan.

I have done 2 big jobs with Bay Area Molding & Doors and I’m coming back to them again to buy my windows and last replacement doors.
When doing my research 2 years ago looking for the right people to work on my house, I discovered Bay Area Molding & Door. The reviews were very good on them and they more than delivered on the reputation. All the work is high quality, well worth the cost (which is VERY REASONABLE), and will definitely make your house look much better.
If you are doing any sort of remodeling or upgrading, I highly recommend these guys. They will make your house look fantastic whether it’s trim work, new doors, or the paint job. They are a family owned company and you always get one of the brothers or cousins involved in your project.
