Capistrano Hardwoods - Custom Dutch Door - Building Supplies Near Me - San Juan Capistrano, California

I just wanted to take a moment to make a shoutout for my friend Ken Ciccarelli from Capistrano Hardwoods, Inc..... We are working on our home and he has been helpful in every way. He is patient, kind, understanding and respectful in every way. If you have not done business with him you are missing out. If you need windows or doors, mouldings, door hardware, custom work, and really cool stuff that I don't even know what do to with you have to try to work with them. read more

In all honesty, I don't work with many lumber/wood work businesses. In fact this is only my second time ever. The ironic thing is that the first time was for this exact same table while living in the SF Bay Area & attending the Academy of Art in the city. I needed a precise circle cut in it to fit an animation drawing disc. (i.e. - Traditional, hand drawn 2D animation) I bought an inexpensive, $99 dollar, particle board, student drafting table; came with a swing arm lamp & cheap @ss chair. The first company was awesome, they did a great job for something that I had no clue on how to even attempt. Fast forward to last week. I picked up a new 27" iMac which was going to be paired with a 32" monitor. I was going to need a bit more elbow room for my computer station & animation table to be able to sit side-by-side. I needed two cuts off the sides; 4" off the left and 6" trimmed on the right. I also took 3" off the front side so I could sit closer to the animation disc while drawing. I briefly thought about attempting the job myself but after I sobered up, I realized, "Who the hell was I kidding?" I did a search of lumber yards on yelp* & Capistrano Hardwoods was one of the first few to come up. I hesitated to call because what I needed was small in contrast to what these guys do on a regular basis. (When I say small; very, very, very small.) I thought it wouldn't hurt to call & see what happens... I'm glad I did! Zack N answered the phone; I explained to him what I needed. Zack said that it wouldn't be a problem, just bring the table on down. The only thing he added was to be sure that there wasn't any metal that would need cutting. I inquired about cost, Zack said between $5 and $10. One word, "Stoked!" Within a couple of hours, I pulled up to the front of the shop & walked inside. There's a nice show room @ the front that leads to the rest of the facility. I was greeted by a gentleman who had a quizzical expression on his face as he looked at the drawing table in my hand. I asked for Zack who came out of the front office; he looked at it & then we both walked to the back of the shop. Zack mentioned that there may be chipping on the edges which I knew was going to happen but I appreciated him mentioning it beforehand. Done in five easy steps: (I say easy because I wasn't doing it & a professional was.) Step 1. Measure; adjust table saw Step 2. Cut Step 3. Apply edging Step 4. Trim edging Step 5. Sand 'And done! Zack N - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/capistrano-hardwoods-san-juan-capistrano?select=RfYu5FEof4sNLEEjpRMJjw As I watched Zack work, I was completely impressed by his attitude and professionalism for such a small project in comparison to the "real jobs" he's accustomed to. I'd be the first to say, I am no home improvement, power tool, kinda guy but I give much respect to those that are. What took Zack 20 minutes to do would've been at least a half day project with me fumbling around & resulting in something that might be compared to a bird house from a high school shop class. I'm joking; my finished piece wouldn't have look that good. After trimming the table, Zack asked what I was planning to do with the exposed edges. I replied by asking him what he'd recommend. Zack said I could pick up adhesive edging and apply it. He then said, I don't think we have black @ the shop, only wood grain & white. - "Do you have a preference?" I replied, no; he chose white. Now, keep in mind; I just thought that he was going to cut the table to size, say thank you, collect my $$, and I was going to be on my way. However, when Zack took his time & diligently applied the edging, cleaned it up by trimming it, then sanded the edges; I was floored. You know that saying, "There's no job too big or too small," Capistrano Woods practices it! In today's business world where customer service & professionalism seem to take second string to fast & convenient, there are still companies doing it right. I just happened to be fortunate enough to find them. I was originally quoted between $5 - $10 for the project. I gave Zack a twenty, thanked him for an awesome job and returned home to put the table back together. As mentioned before, I would've wasted so much time and ended up with something that didn't look half as great as this does. Animation table - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/capistrano-hardwoods-san-juan-capistrano?select=ydgjK1yakUEGfVmA31zAlw The finished table worked out great! It gave me about another foot and room to accommodate the dual monitor set up on the adjacent work station. It's not a kitchen remodel but I'm grateful for the little things! A big mahalo to Zack N for his aloha & time! If I ever need help with a future project or if someone's looking for a referral; I know just the place in San Juan Capistrano. - Big Aloha!

Service and Price: 5 stars The gentlemen at Capistrano Hardwood's are so helpful to me when I come in. They make suggestions for my projects and are very talented! Im not always sure of the products to use or how to achieve the look I want but their expertise has guided me through the process of my kitchen remodel. My favorite part is the shiplap ceiling and I will include a photo of my shelves when they are done. Izzy, Tom and Ken helped me choose the finish and have all the tools to complete the look AND the prices are great. I will continue to come to them for all my hardwood needs! Oh and an added bonus is when you walk in you are immediately greeted and assisted by a professional. No hunting for a sales person like the big chain stores. read more

Great selection of decorative woods and good prices. We found this place when we were remodeling and will come back!

I had two pieces of trim on a custom made book case that had termite damage and needed to be replaced. I took a piece of the old trim to Lowe's, Home Depot and Ganahl lumber and all of them didn't have the size nor offered any help on how to get such a custom piece. I met a buddy at Docent Brewery and I passed by Capistrano Hardwoods and I remembered that's where my carpenter uncle purchased all his wood so, I stopped in to see if the could help. Izzy, confirmed it was custom but if I gave him 15 minutes he could make the two pieces I needed. Now I know why my uncle always purchased his materials there. I won't go anywhere else. read more

Truly amazing service. I was so happy to find the white oak wood that I needed to finish our bathroom remodel. Zac was extremely helpful he went through so many pieces of wood to help me find the right one. And was so kind and helpful. I am so happy with this place, the prices are amazing. We also got all of our baseboards here for such a great price compared to some of the big name stores. Definitely will be coming back here for all of our hardwood needs. read more

I ordered 8 doors and it took them 3 times to prep it correctly and on the 3rd try it wasn't even right. I was so over the process I just fixed the jamb and re-bored it myself. Won't do business with them again. read more

Capistrano Doors took care of all of our door needs. This included plantation shutter doors, a beautiful Dutch door, exterior utility door and 5 other interior doors. Tom was professional, very patient and helpful. We highly recommend Capistrano Doors for your door projects. read more

I went into Capo Hardwoods today with a very hard to find door astrigal. I was at my wits end trying to find a replacement and the skilled Woodworkers there crafted me a replacement out of a solid piece of Alder. These guys really saved me an this job. Excellent service and excellent craftsmanship.It look is like it came from the factor except it is even better than the original. Thanks guys!! -Eric read more

I brought my client here to look at front door options and we met with Zac. He listened to my clients wants and showed her a variety of options that met her criteria. He was efficient and clear which helped my client understand what she was getting. I have been to Capo Hardwoods numerous times but this is the first time with a client and they did not disappoint. read more

Customer service is on point! I walked in yesterday after driving by after looking for some base molding for about a week. Very friendly, informative, and prompt. I placed an order and items were delivered the same day to my home! Go here, you will not be disappointed! read more

My handyman told me the kitchen drawer can't be fixed, will have to get a new one made. Brought in the broken drawer for them to make, took one look, fixed it for $10! Excellent customer service! read more

I purchased my baseboards for the entire house from Capistrano Hardwoods. Their selection is out of this world! And the prices are very good. I also found the quality of the MDF top notch. It came already primed and the profile between the different lots of boards was very consistent. I also bought matching bullnose corner pieces for the ultimate finished look. The service was friendly and helpful. They plastic wrapped the boards and loaded them up on my roof rack, but I had to secure them to the car (store policy?). I'm planning on going back very soon for more moulding. read more

Horrible customer service and the owner is a complete jerk. When they delivered our trim and baseboards first I had to help them pull from the truck and many of the pieces were damaged at the edges or broken. Then when I went to return the extra trim that we hadn't even removed from the wrapping, they claimed it was water damaged from rain (it wasn't and it hadn't rained in the 4 days we had the trim in our garage, more likely damaged before it got to us) before they even looked at the wood. To make it worse they stood at the door and made me carry in all the trim by myself. Seriously, spend your money at a company that gives a crap about customers! read more

Nice selection and friendly employees. But don't bother going there for assistance unless you've got a big enough project to warrant their undivided attention. I was completing a small (but very high quality) remodel in my home and needed help with a tricky baseboard installation. I visited their store three times to meet with the person who volunteered to help, and each time he wasn't there. I talked to a manager/owner who asked me to send photos. I went home, took measurements and emailed him. Never got a response. He mentioned that "well, its a small job." So unless you can impress them with the project (meaning $$$$), don't bother. read more

We have many years of experience with Capo Hardwoods- the staff is friendly and professional. Everything we've ordered from them for our home has been perfect (doors, baseboard, wood for custom cabinets, windows, and most recently our mirrored closet doors for 3 rooms).... my go to place. Great references and super sweet selection. Thanks Ken and staff for being a pleasure to work with! You know we will always be back for more! read more

Some of the best customer service and incredibly helpful! Always very knowledgeable about what they carry/would suggest for certain projects! Ismael even assisted in design advice and instructions to complete a small cutting board project I went in to get supplies for! Highly recommend!! read more

What a wonderful shop and super helpful employees. I needed a small section of a molding for a window. They didn't have exactly what I needed, but they were able to recreate it for me. They have a huge selection of moldings and hardware. I will definitely be back. I love the barn door hardware. Thank you! read more

The store is good and the staff helpful, but don't use their referrals unless you are prepared to have no one turn up to do the job,

I bought a door here and Ken provided highly personalized service during the selection and installation processes. He even handles my mom's excessive phone calls with great professionalism, which is not easy. read more

Capo Hardwoods, what can I say. I've been using Capo for years. They have (or can order) anything you can think of. From exotics to basic MDF base, this place hits the nail on the head every time. I built my own house a few years ago, and when I started looking for a front door, I found one at Lowes I liked for just over $8000 dollars. I met with Ken and he had similar doors priced literally thousands less. I ordered litlerally thousands of feet of base, and window trim, as well as several doors. Once you go to this place, you won't bother with the "Do it yourself stores." The knowledge alone is priceless. "Wood is these guys business, and business is good." read more

For moldings, these folks are terrific! I brought in a piece of door molding to be matched. I couldn't find it a Lowes and Home Depot but they matched it within 5 minutes. Not only that, they custom cut it for me! I recommend you see them for any kind of moldings. read more

Capistrano Hardwoods is THE place to go! Every time I go in there, there are numerous contractors loading up to head out to the job site. That's always a good sign if the pros go there. As a DIYer, I've never been let down. Ken has helped me with all sorts of moldings. He even built me little models to show me what a finished product may look like. Great for a visual learner like myself. And he's helped me choose and supplied me with interior doors and an entry door. What exceptional quality these products were! In my opinion, there is no better place to get materials for your project. I never hesitate driving all the way down there...even from Fullerton. Great products, great prices, EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE!!! read more

We recently needed to repair door frames and a threshold in our San Juan Capistrano home that had been seriously damaged by dry-rot and termites. There was no way of knowing who made the oak threshold originally, so I could not handily order it; I had to remove what was left of the old threshold, which had some custom features in its bottom so that it would fit snugly and create a water-tight and clean transition from inside hardwood floor to outside pavers. No question, this job was way outside my skill set of a handy weekend warrior. I took the old threshold, whose ends were destroyed by termites, and Ismael, one of Capistrano Hardwoods' excellent craftsmen, who created a PERFECT oak replacement that fit back into the space beautifully. Not only was it a gorgeous replacement, but it took Ismael just about an hour to create it. I highly recommend this business for anyone who is in need of their products or services of extremely excellent craftsmanship at very fair prices! read more
