C&C Cabinets Granite

I worked with Shawn for my kitchen remodel. He came to my home and measured the kitchen. He worked with my contractor to make sure the cabinets would fit well. Their granite installers came and fit the granite perfectly. No remodel goes smoothly and so if you expect there to be issues it won’t be a surprise. I did have to go back to the store a few times and got what I needed. For the price and quality, I strongly recommend Shawn and C&C!

I went to a few cabinets places before finally going with c&c cabinets. They do it all: bathroom and kitchens. They do cabinets, countertop, and sinks. So it saves you another trip to another store. Quality of cabinets are great and so are the prices. William Cao works with you and your budget. You give them your measurements and he designs a layout for you. But just to make sure everything is perfect, he re actually comes to your house to verify the measurements. Don’t waste your time with other cabinet places and just come here.

After speaking with Shawn I was able to resolve my issue. When buying from C n C keep in mind that if you dont use them to design and install make sure tthat whoever you hired is lisenced and insured. Also that the contractor be responsable for accurate measuring and is a competent counter installer. Dont try shortcuts or unlisenced experts.

So the only good things were the price and the cabinets weren’t bad. However, they kept making mistakes.
1) was told 2 days before install that our bathroom cabinets were not in stock.
2) they gave us pieces of a recycled door for fillers
3) they didn’t have the shelving clips
4) they gave us a wrong cabinet
5) they were missing a cabinet on our order (partially my fault for not double checking)
6) counter top installers cancelled day of install
7) the 2 pieces of granite were a little off from each other (the installer brought it up)
8) the counter top installers made a mistake on drilling hole for faucet.
Amanda was the one who helped us and made a lot of errors. No apology or additional discount. I had to make additional trips there, churn my contractor, take an additional day off from work, and had to scramble while on vacation to get these issues resolved. They later replaced the mismatched countertop at no charge. All in all, they had the best prices but it was a hassle. It comes down to if you have more time or more money.

Ordered cabinets for our kitchen. Make sure you check allstuff delivered. We Have To Stop Work Because Of Missing Cabinets and pins to hold the ledge have to buy it ourselves. Had to change cabinet size because it was not available, they didn’t tell us ahead of time we could have changed our order or go somewhere else. Albert try to do damage control but he was the reason for the damage in the first place, for not telling us that what we had chosen was not available. Haha.

The cabinets I had installed are decent, all wood and in the style and color I wanted. But I also got a quartz countertop, for both kitchen and bathroom. The bathroom was installed by C & C, and I paid their installation price. So no problem there, they did decent work, even though the labor price was as much as the cost of materials and I had just straight cuts, no corners, and a vessel sink (so 1 hole drilled). I was happy with the work they did on the bathroom But for the kitchen the cabinets were already installed, leveled, and ready to go. C & C said they could do the kitchen countertop and quoted me a price for materials and labor. When they showed up on site they wanted an extra $ 600 to redo the cabinets in the kitchen, claiming they weren’t leveled. I tried to explain they they were professionally installed and I had checked them myself. They wouldn’t budge on the extra $ 600, seems like they only cared about getting paid more money. So in the end I had my other granite installer come and do the work to install the kitchen countertop, he said the cabinets were perfectly fine, and did the job perfectly. To make matters worse, I called a couple months later wanting cabinets and countertop to be installed for a bathroom, and they said it would be several months to install and wouldn’t be worth the price for them to install for just a small bathroom. You don’t go here for customer service, you go here to get cheap prices on decent cabinets, but still some level of customer service better than how I was treated is expected.

Been waiting 3.5 months for replacement cabinet door. Both my contractor and I have called — we still have no estimate of delivery. This is very poor service. They can provide new cabinets within weeks, but God help you if one is damaged. And there is always at least one. Good things didn’t send back all of the ones I thought were damaged. This is exasperating.

Highly recommend. I am a real estate agent and use them frequently. They stand behind their work the cabinet quality is the same of any of the ones coming from China they are not perfect but you are not paying for perfect cabinets. They look great and the owner will stand behind any issues. Very talented carpenter can and will customize anything needed and always with a smile. Mr. Cao wants to please customers and will always do the job correctly.

This review is for my granite purchase. C&C has a good selection of granite. The customer service is only so-​so. Everyone I dealt with at C&C had very strong accents so it’s hard to tell if they’re being rude or just straight forward. For the price you can’t go wrong.

Ask for Albert, he is amazing! Excellent customer service, very responsive and honest. Cabinets are solid wood, less expensive than the big box retailers. C&C installed my quartz counter to perfection. The crew was on time and worked fast. QUALITY WORK! I wish I had used them to install my cabinets instead of using my contractor friend. The workers are all Chinese which IMO is fantastic because they work hard and are not lazy like typical Hawaii contractors. Use this company, don’t bother to go elsewhere.

Highly recommended! I was recommended by my neighbor to come this place and their were several places in Kalihi to choose from. As we walked in the crowded showroom, the CEO greeted us and welcomed us with the «Aloha Spirit». As for me I was clueless in what to get, how to measure my walls where and how to choose what cabinet and counter top, OMG. Mindyou, Im a CDL driver. In my mind Im thinking, Okay, how am I gonna do this project with my family. This outstanding CEO, offered to come out to my house in Makaha to measure my kitchen and help us design my cabinets, of course my sister and I was blowned away because they were closed and the following day was a holiday. He gave us outstanding customer service. I was sold. The cost for «Top of the Line Cabinets, Countertops and Installation was cheaper than any other place. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

My contractor told me to go here for cabinets because they were all wood and good prices. These people are probably recently arrived from overseas and haven’t learned that this is a small island and word will get out if you don’t live up to expectations. My cabinets came in and when we opened the boxes, the staining (Espresso) was light around the borders as if the person rubbing the stain on didn’t realize what exactly these boxes are for. So at eye-​level the cabinets aren’t uniform and have light areas where it should be dark. I took them back and they said «New shipment coming in .» That meant sit and wait for 2 weeks then gave me the same junk back and said the cabinets that just came in «same.»
I wouldn’t use them again and unfortunately, I’d paid up front, since I trust people. Turns out my contractor hadn’t used them, was just going on price. Well, you get what you pay for. If you do use them check on guarantee before you pay. And to the others who say those of us who had a bad experience with this company are (insert name-​calling here), your experience is different from ours. Accept it.

Wonderful selection of cabinets and counters. HOWEVER… poor service. I bought cabinets and they were out of 2 uppers. Then we were told that we shouldn’t take possession of the base cabinets because they might not match (the day before we were supposed to pick them up). Then they ran out of roll out drawers and didn’t tell us when we picked up the base cabinets, then gave another excuse. Then I just called about my cabinets that I was suppose to pick up Monday only to find out that they are delayed and don’t know when the container ship will be here.
Working with this company has been traumatic and disgusting!

I started using C & C cabinets over 4 years ago. in that time I’ve remodeled many kitchens, and installed hundreds C&C cabinets. I don’t even know how many sheets of granite I’ve bought from them but I have about 14 of them being held right now for three separate jobs. I’ve been helped by every sales person over the years, mostly Albert and Jonah, but William as well.
Here’s my take:
These are not high end custom cabinets, they are very good quality cabinets for a fantastic price. If you want to spend $ 80K or more for a new kitchen maybe don’t go here. But, if you want to spend $ 25K or less and really get a lot for the money this is the place.
The people who work here are regular good people who if you are nice and work with them will be nice and work with you. I don’t know what they are like if you are a jerk or an unreasonable ass because I’m not. In my many orders they have made a few mistakes and when I ask them to address the mistakes they take care of things quickly and reasonably. When I have occasionally made a mistake they have been very helpful. I’ve been charged a restocking fee a few times but not every time I made a last minute change. They have fixed scratches replaced doors for free. Have given me hardware i forgot or lost for free here and there and knocked off a few bucks a time or two to make me feel better. Like I said, regular good people.
About the granite, they have what they have, it comes in the sizes it comes in. If you can be flexible and work with their product you can have a very nice countertop for a ridiculously low price. Every client I’ve taken in there has been able to find something they like and they are always happy with the price.
They have a lot to offer, they give friendly good service and I recommend them.

We have been searching for a specific piece of granite splash from many companies without success. I contacted C & C Cabinets Granite and they said they have various left over materials that matched close to the color we needed. I visited their showroom and they greeted me kindly and proceeded to give me two stone pieces that could be fitted together to fix the problem.
I Thank CC Cabinets for being so graciuos and very helpful!!!
Much mahalo for your kindness!!!

I am remodeling my primary residence and wanted to do it «right», yet also had budgetary restrictions. After endless shopping around I thought I would have to go with big box store fiberboard construction cabinets to stay in my budget.
Luckily, I found that C&C had the best quality (all wood, dovetail construction) cabinets for the most reasonable price. Just slightly more than what I would have paid for in-​stock cabinets at a big box store. Their granite (exact same as what I had shopped for other places) was 50% of the price.
Albert Oh helped me throughout the process. He helped me confirm the pieces I needed, gave me fair pricing, quick follow up and clear expectations. He arranged for delivery for me and the guy who delivered was fast and efficient. The granite selection process was easy, and they made it easy for the installer to pick it up while I hand selected my pieces.
I have zero complaints. Good Quality, Great Price, Superb Service. Thank you Albert. I am really excited to see this new kitchen come together…

They will sell your items that you put a down payment for. It caused us a lot of grief having to go and look for suitable materials to finish off a kitchen at the last minute. Seems like that’s why golden cabinets is a lot more busy. They promised everything as ordered.

I own many rentals that i have purchased granite, cabinets and quartz from C&C. Their pricing is the best on the island, their selection is great, and their service is straightforward. If you don’t know how to adjust a cabinet door like the others who have left negative reviews you should please just shut up. You are in the wrong business. C&C are wholesalers, and damm good ones! The cabinets are well made, and i have never gotten termites like i have with other cabinet providers. William is an honest man with a great product for the money. Now if you expect custom work for wholesale prices you are the fool!

I am a contractor’s daughter, very handy and own 4 properties. I have been through my share of renovations. C & C is the busiest, cheapest and easiest cabinet and countertop company on the Island. I was shocked to see such low reviews on Unilocal.After reading the Negative Nancy’s, I can see they either lack knowledge, have unrealistic expectations and don’t own a screwdriver or cleaning products. You are not going to get $ 30k cabinets for under $ 3k. If you want absolute perfection, break out the home equity loan and hire a contractor and custom woodworker.
I couldn’t be happier with the people at C & C. Just last night I need some more Quartz backsplash (didn’t even call ahead) and the owner had my invoice and the gentlemen loaded it in my Volvo in less than 15 minutes flat ;-) And yes, there were other customer there and the phone was still ringing off the hook. They made it happen. Thank goodness because I had a wild 2 year old in toe.

I bought granite and countertops from this place and I have to say that it wasn’t the best nor worst experience. Middle of the road is where I land because there’s several good/​bad things…
Good–
Price– you can’t find solid wood cabinets this cheap! They offer repeat customer discount of about 5%.
Selection– better than most cabinet/​granite retailer/​wholesalers. Lots of different granite styles and 4 colors of cabinet.
They also sell tile, and a few other things like sinks.
They made good on letting me change a wrong cabinet size that I bought by mistake (see story below if you want to read on)
Bad–
Their cabinets are definitely assembled quickly without much attention to detail. The finish has flaws in it if you look closely. The doors are hung crooked in a few places (you can fix it yourself though). The finish around the edging doesn’t go all the way to the trim– there’s a small line you can see.
The cabinets were covered in white powder, (I’m pretty sure it’s to prevent bugs) so I had to spend lots of time cleaning them.
The granite has to be sealed at least 7+ times. They don’t seal it for you and I guess the quality isn’t the greatest bc it will soak up water if you don’t coat the heck out of it.
They don’t deliver anything, nor do they do installation or granite cutting. Bare bones on the services…
They gave me some mild heartburn for a few reasons:
The bathroom granite we bought had a deposit on it, but when our contractor went to pick it up, the only one with a right return (finished side) had a huge crack! So he had to buy a left return and finish the side himself. Luckily, he didn’t charge us extra, but C&C messed that one up.
If you deal with the guys in the warehouse, they don’t speak English so it’s a bit hard to communicate.
We bought a microwave cabinet and realized after we got home that it doesn’t work for over the range hood style. So we went right back to return it and the salesman we dealt with was out, so I made my case to an angry mean Chinese lady who basically told me «no returns on custom orders»… Well, the cabinet wasn’t custom order. And we literally just took it home 1 hour ago. She tried to tell me no, no, no, its been assembled so its ours and if we need to we can cut it to size. She wasn’t even nice about it (picture Elvis sneer lip face). Luckily, William (the salesman i dealt with just about every time) came back in and he let us exchange it for the right cabinet.
After spending almost $ 7,000 on cabinets, granite and tiles, it really left a bad taste in my mouth to be nickel and dimed over changing out a cabinet with a cost difference of less than $ 200.
So, definitely come here if you want to save money and get a decent product… If you’re looking for great customer service or perfection, go elsewhere.
