Pedersen & Arnold

The team at Pedersen and Arnold are outstanding! Gentlemen to deal with and always responsive to requirements of clients. They have supplied picture rails as well as resurfacing a dated buffet to look modern. Do not hesitate to work with Pedersen and Arnold!

We love the craftsmen and owners at this wonderful cabinet shop. We have worked with the family many times over the past 15 years to help us create and build cabinets. We had a particular problem with a closet under the stairs that we converted into a media center. There was a door in the closet that accessed under the house. They helped us design a media cabinet that had a track to move the cabinet away from the access when someone needed to go under the house. It was completely hidden and no one would know when looking at the cabinet that it wasn’t solidly built into the wall. Beautiful design
We’ve had a bar cabinet built in and it needed to match existing architecture. They did a perfectly beautiful job and made improvements to our designers ideas that made the cabinets more useable. We’ve had cabinets that doubled as tv cabinet and bedroom dresser that was huge and magnificent. I also checked at a closet store and decided to go with Pederson and Arnold for built ins for a walk in closet. So glad I did. They make suggestions and helped with design. Drawers and shelves just perfect. I’ll post photos later.

I do not recommend this company.
The cabinets I ordered were made the wrong size, even though Pederson & Arnold did the measurements. After sending them back to be correctly made, they were still made the wrong size. The carpenter had to take out 1/​8″ from the wall to make them fit, at my cost. Additionally, the shelves for inside the cabinet did not fit and had to be returned and corrected.
I have always considered cabinet makers to be the most precise measurers. I was disappointed that these cabinets were made incorrectly, twice, and fixing the problem cost me money.
The cabinets look nice, however. The only problem, and it’s a big one, is the cabinets were made to the incorrect size.
Due to this problem, I do not recommend Pederson & Arnold.

Great family owned business with friendly staff. Very accommodating to satisfy your needs. Great quality! Would highly recommend them!

This is the only place I would ever recommend for custom cabinetry. I have many pieces of their work here in my home from a mantel, to a bedroom set, a entertainment cabinet, bookshelves, and my newest addition my gorgeous kitchen. I have been using them for many years. Not to mention crown moulding throughout the whole house. Their work is nothing but the best and the quality is outstanding. This family business has been around for many years because of the hard work they put in. Their quality of work and customer service makes for me to return as often as I can for any home needs. Their always on time with there work and very courteous along with helpful.. Thank you all for always making it such a pleasure working with you. I can’t wait until my next project one day. I know where i’m going without thinking. Thank you, Thank you.

I’ve never been so disappointed and wasted so much time in my life. A small job that was only supposed to take 3 wks has literally wasted 8 wks of my life — and in the end there’s nothing to show for it!
* After waiting 3 wks (when the job was supposed to be completed) I find out Chuck Jr botched the door order.
* Another 3 wks pass, and I discover they build the cabinet incorrectly (doors hang the wrong way, missing pull out trash, and incorrect door style).
* I suggest another visit to remeasure hoping they can get it right the 3^rd time, and then 2 wks later when I visit to check in Chuck Jr refuses to honor the original price of the cabinet and is trying to up-​charge me $ 150 for a pull out trash that was already included in the original quote (this is after his assuring me that I’d get a discount to make up for their delays and mistakes).
I heard that this place was once good, but is now abysmally MISMANAGED. What a sad story of a family business gone down the tubes. All along I didn’t receive a single call or email to update me on progress or explain delays, every communication was initiative by me. In the end, instead of trying work it out and accept responsibility, Chuck Jr decides it’s a good idea to get in a yelling match and refuses to complete the job at all.
Are you kidding me!!! BE WARNED if they can’t even handle a small job, don’t even think about trusting them to complete a big one (unless you enjoy being run around in circles.)

I love these guys! I had them make me custom doors for cabinets for my bathroom remodel a couple of years ago and they did a fantastic job. They are professional, friendly and best of all, do a great job! I couldn’t remember their name, and racked my brain until I found them again on Unilocal.Now I will have them listed in my reviews and never have trouble finding them again.

This has been a family owned and run business for years!!! The craftmanship and professionalism at this place is top-​notch! I had some cabinet doors replaced and a fish tank stand custom made by these guys. The quality of the work was amazing!!! No shortcuts here. A+!!! Thank you!!!

I have been doing business with them for for about 7 years know and they have been the best company for moldings and trim. The prices cannot be beat. They give you the best price and are cheaper than any one around. If you need a mantel built they will do it and they come out perfect. We had 10 of the same mantels built and they were all beautiful. Any question you have or material you need they will have or can help you find it. I will always use them.

Pedersen and Arnold are a team of craftsmen! Yes, while the molding selection is excellent, they are cabinet makers. I first bought molding then required an alteration to a kitchen cabinet to install new ovens. The rebuilt cabinet was perfect! I hope to ask them to build me one of their beautiful, practical and superbly made kitchens. Thanks to all of you! Jeannine

These guys just won a customer for life!
I just ran into their shop, 10 minutes before closing on a gorgeous sunny summer afternoon, and show them a piece of rotten old moulding. They find a sample that is a 99% perfect match but it needs a bit cut off the back side. They ask how much I need and I explain it’s a small project. They basically customize a four-​foot section for me on the spot. And, when I ask how much I owe them, they say,” No worries, it’s on the house!“
I’ll never shop any place else for cabinets and mouldings, ever!

This is the place to go if you’re in the market for any shaped molding to use in your house. They probably have the largest selection of any place in the bay area. There are plenty of samples you can take home to see if it looks good. One would automatically assume their prices are higher than usual but the opposite is true. I purchased 96 feet of reversibloe 3.25 inch floor board (primed) and the price was .52 a foot. I needed more of the same and went to Home Depot to pick up what I needed. I only went to Home Depot because I was in Menlo Park and the San Carlos Home Depot was a bit more convenient than going up to San Mateo. To my dismay, Home Depot charged $ 1.77 per foot for the exact same stuff!!! My suggestion is to try Pedersen and Arnold before going to Home Depot if you want to save time and money. The only negative is that Pedersen and Arnold only sell what you need in 16 foot lengths. They will cut it for you but you need to purchase the molding in 16 foot units. Even though I only needed 34 feet, 48 feet of the stuff at Pedersen and Arnold would have run me less than $ 30. Home Depot’s cost was $ 65 for 34 feet. Don’t assume that you’re getting a better deal at Home Depot because you aren’t. In fairness to Home Depot, you can buy what you need by the foot. Keep in mind you are paying a high premium for that privilege.
