My home is an upper unit of a 2 unit, 115 year old building in the Castro. You can see from the photos below that Gregory did a beautiful professional job on my project, working with the architect/designer who had suggested the built-ins, and responding to my particular requests. Fitting new cabinetry into an old wooden building required a lot of customization during installation, and Gregory was definitely up to the task - as mentioned by other reviewers he is easy to work with, creative, flexible, with an "incredible eye." He did all the installation and finishing himself (with a helper). To be fair, it took Gregory longer than he had estimated to make and install the cabinetry, but it was definitely worth the wait and he was very responsive and obliging throughout the process. The quality and value were top notch; the cost was about 50-60% that of the estimates I received from online cabinetry firms I contacted. Definitely a 5 star experience - thank you Gregory!

He is so incredibly easy to work with, creative, flexible, and has an incredible eye. He got a feel for our taste and made the benches fit aesthetically in our space seamlessly. It was not an easy thing to install either with the angles of the apartment. We could could tell it required a lot of skill and patience. We cannot imagine our space without them now. The bookcases on each side of the center chest piece was his idea too and it was such a clever use of space and it looks great. Truly, we cannot recommend him enough for his skill, taste, and he's really just the nicest guy. If we could get ten stars we would!! And his partner is awesome. They are the greatest team.

CABINET REFACING!! My kitchen project with Fernando was a…read moregreat experience. I was selling the house and needed A BIG TRANSFORMATION to get a new, modern look (like a NEW BUILD HOME). The original cabinets were made of solid maple wood and screamed 1980's!! I ruled out replacing the original custom cabinets because it was not cost effective. Alternatively, I considered painting the cabinets but it would not produce the end result that I needed. My real estate agent suggested cabinet refacing. Huh, WHAT's that !? I searched the internet and YELP. I called Fernando and he educated me about the cabinet refacing process. THE PRICE WAS RIGHT. I wanted big results! He showed so much care and attention to detail from the start. He pointed out to me the 2 areas where the cabinets must be raised... 1) to accommodate a standard size refrigerator, and another area, to accommodate a new range hood at standard height (instead of the existing over-the-range-microwave). In order to give an accurate quote Fernando stopped by the house more than once to measure the cabinets. He made me feel as though I was his only customer. He updated me during the entire project - particularly when he was working on my cabinet doors "off site". He is extremely polite, he cares about his customers, and I always had a sense of trust with Fernando and his team. Some nights his team worked after hours to get the job done! Awesome dedication! THE RESULTS? The pictures tell the story better than I can! My kitchen is a modern beauty! It turned out better than I expected! When marketing this house FOR SALE the kitchen was a big selling point, of course!! The home sold in 8 days - could have been sooner - but we stalled in order to accommodate OPEN HOUSE on the weekend. The home was in high demand. There were multiple offers... and the home sold almost $200,000 over asking price!!! I certainly recommend this local business. I have another home with these same maple cabinets (installed by the same family friend in the 80's). When I am ready to sell that house I will no doubt call BAY ARE CUSTOM MILLWORK to do their magic once again!! CABINET REFACING takes skill. I'm a fan! If you want the same high end results - Contact Fernando! He will answer all your questions. You won't regret the decision.

We are the owners and designers of a nearly 4,000 square foot high-end home in Marin County for…read morewhich we recently completed new construction. We hired a general contractor and agreed to use all of their selected subcontractors except for a small subset we insisted on selecting ourselves, including Custom Stone. Custom Stone came highly recommended by multiple stone suppliers and other fabricators in the Bay Area. The scope of our stone installation was large and it was critically important that we select a fabricator who had experience with higher-end homes and highest-quality installations. Our scope included a master bathroom consisting of a double vanity, an 8' tall all-slab master shower and an undermounted roman master bathtub; a large kitchen with multiple stone surfaces including a 12' x 9' island; two guest bathrooms with marble slab vanities; a guest bathroom all-slab shower; an all-slab marble surround and hearth for a 42" fireplace; a custom designed and constructed semi-precious slab backlit bar; and an outdoor BBQ counter with Neolith. At the outset of the project, Custom Stone joined us during trips to various stone yards, advised us on the considerations of different materials, and helped us to obtain the most competitive pricing with their relationships. During the fabrication process, Custom Stone sent us multiple detailed design mock-ups and welcomed us to participate in the process. They recently invested in state-of-the-art fabrication equipment and technology that enables Contractors and Owners to see exactly what output they can expect, and to efficiently and flexibly provide input into the design and configuration decisions. For example, their new 3-D Laser measuring system and real-time digital vein-matching software allowed us to approve our slab layout before the fabrication started. Custom Stone's CNC waterjet cutting machine enabled exceptionally precise cuts on the material that we didn't find possible with other fabrication firms, allowing Custom Stone to produce the highest-quality end products for our project. Custom Stone's work is uncontestably one of the highlights of the new home and has significantly enhanced its aesthetic and value. We cannot speak highly enough of their work and the process of working with them. They worked and collaborated well with other trades/subcontractors, offered up creative solutions and demonstrated an unwavering commitment to quality. When we were selecting our stone subcontractor, we considered five (5) criteria in the following stack-ranked order: (1) precision in design and craftsmanship, and attention to detail; (2) knowledge of products/materials; (3) design skill in assembling pieces to create contiguous and less visible seams; (4) use of current technology and tools; and (5) reliable and on schedule. Custom Stone achieved the highest marks across all five criteria. We would certainly recommend and hire them again for whatever scope project we consider in the future.
