    Extended the stove top island to accommodate bar stools on the other side of the island. Extended cabinets to include a beverage center.

    I give Francisco (First Choice Cabinets) 5 stars for the high-quality work done on my kitchen remodel that included new maple cabinets with white satin lacquer finish, quartz countertops, new flooring, painting walls, some plumbing and electrical work, and wall demo and reconstruction. Franciso gave excellent recommendations to resolve some difficult structural problems, and the workmanship and installation of the cabinets, quartz counter tops and the flooring were precise and excellent. Franciso always responded to any questions or worries I had, all to my satisfaction. And, of the numerous estimates I obtained, the estimate from Francisco was the best. Thank you from Armando and Olivia

    We recently had our kitchen remodeled by First Choice Cabinets owned by Francisco Arroyo. We chose Francisco out of several companies who made estimates. We liked not only his professionalism but his honesty. He laid out the cost for everything carefully, and we found great products to choose from for our. Much anticipated remodeling.   As the work started Francisco was very hands on, answered all our questions, and was open to a couple of changes. We appreciated his friendly, humble approach to us and we took much interest in watching his thoughtful, precise, meticulous daily work.  Every detail was important to him, he took time to make sure all was measured right and was level.  The quality of the materials was superb. He had crews that painted, did electrical for new outlets, and put in flooring that is beautiful.    Truly this is one of those times we found the right person for the job and who took great pride in doing honest, meticulously fine work! We highly recommend him as a business man and we would definitely use him again.

    Francisco was such a pleasure to work with! He was very efficient and did an amazing job within our budget. He always took the time to answer our phone calls and address our concerns. He was very patient in assisting us to select color choices / tile choices. He is super knowledgeable and his work speaks for itself. There is no better price and quality work you will find in the Whittier area!

    (This rating is actually 4.5) First choice cabinets is excellent, I knew I wanted to work with Francisco because of his passion and dedication to his work. Francisco designed my kitchen the way My wife and I visualized it. He provided great samples of flooring and counter tops and got the ball rolling. The initial project was going to take 3-4 weeks but ended up being 5 1/5 weeks. (I'm a construction worker and trust me deadlines always go over which can be frustrating but the overall outcome is what matters). Overall I was thrilled with the flooring, demo of wall, and remodeling of kitchen with cabinets and new appliances. Francisco's Staff: Lety Francisco's assistant is amazing, I'd advise anyone to deal straight with Lety when making an appointment. Francisco is so busy that it's better to contact his assistant/office personal. The only reason why I gave a 4.5 and not 5 is because Francisco would tell me someone was coming over to work, and no one would show. We could go 3 days with a no show but it wasn't really a deal breaker. Francisco is amazing but he is really busy and sometimes forgets to call you to let you know he can't make it (this is why you contact Lety). Ofelia: she is a hard worker and does an amazing job installing floors and base boards. She also did all the demo in the house which she did in 2 days. She is an amazing worker and keeps really busy. She is very precise on measurements and does an amazing job! Thank you so much Ofelia. Ozzy the plumber: amazing guys added a new drain for my kitchen sink and knocked it out fast. He did a quality job for a quality price. He also installed all our appliances and did a crisp clean job. Cabinet installers: I didn't get his cabinet installers names but that crew was quick and put up the cabinets in two days. The quality of cabinets are amazing especially with the shaker style. Countertop installers: amazing guys, he finished quick and added a beautiful waterfall peninsula. These guys worked great. Francisco: like I said he is amazing and passionate, the only issue was that he would forget to call you when he was too busy to meet you. For me it wasn't to much I'd a deal breaker but for others it can bother them. I'm so thankful Francisco and I am so happy with our kitchen, I will for sure use you for future projects thank you for your hard work.

    Great combination of colors.

    First choice cabinets Install my cabinets in my kitchen, Francisco the owner explained every step and walk me through every detail of the installation, I will recommend anyone to use First choice, and I excellent service and reliable.

    Found Francisco and his team through a reference from my friend. I am doing whole house flooring work with him. Francisco delivered quality work with great pricing. His team is very professional and hardworking. He know what he is doing. We had difficulty with materials and he always try to make things work. He also addressed imperfections that I found.

She was very diligent in making the right decisions with materials and sharing tips of the trade to get us what we wanted while staying within our defined budget. She even covered pieces in my order that I had forgotten about. She professional and has great instincts. I was also pleased that they had multiple options and we were able to find plenty of stock and availability in both cabinets and countertops. Both were reasonably priced and it was great to find everything at one location instead of having to go to multiple places. My only disappointment is that the warehouse is only open Monday through Friday and not open on Saturdays. But, I would recommend Delmy and FX for the wonderful and stress free experience.

They worked well with us in the design process, patient and accommodating, so that we got the maximum efficiency for the space. The central element of our concept was an oversized single bay under mount clay sink. They worked well with our countertop subcontractor to ensure fit and stability were incorporated into the cabinet during fabrication. It came out excellent. They really delivered at critical points in my construction schedule and everything came as designed, on time, and all of the appliances fit tits on the money. They did make one error though: They forgot to charge us for the custom dovetailing on the 15 drawers! Overall the product was top quality, they always delivered on time, and worked tirelessly to make sure we were satisfied with the quality. The price was the best in town for an owner operated, detail oriented company of this level in this town.

    More than five stars!…read more Succinctly, we met with three or four companies to get an estimate all of whom were pleasant but, somehow, did not seem as though they were listening to what we wanted. It was different with Ammar of Kitchen Cabinet Express, Inc. After a brief introduction and a short discussion of our intentions, he got right to the point, walking with my wife, measuring and making notes and asking questions. What resulted was a reasonable estimate for the work to be done and a plan and drawings that exactly reflected our wishes. The deadline for completion was originally set for the middle of March 2026 but was completed two weeks early. Members of Ammar's team and contractors were professional, conscientious, and hard working. They showed up on time, accomplished what was scheduled for each day. As work progressed, we desired some minor changes which Ammar and his team were very flexible and responsive in accomplishing professionally and quickly. At every point - daily work and especially at the conclusion - the site was cleaned up immaculately and all detritus was hauled away instantly. Also, a great deal of care was taken to mask, cover, and protect the house, furniture, and existing fixtures from the dust and soiling that was occasioned by the remodeling work! This review is being written a month after completion as we wanted to take our time to let the "newness" wear off and appraise the overall experience. After this time for evaluation, we find the craftsmanship flawless, the cabinets and showers and baths installed beautifully and -- overall -- the incorporation into our existing home has greatly upgraded the whole affair. All in all, the results exceeded our expectations! We highly recommend Ammar and his team and, once settled, we will be having him back to take care of additional projects we'd like to accomplish.

First, we did a complete home makeover in 2014. Initially we were going to do just the kitchen and the front bathroom, but we were so impressed by the consultation by the owner, Ammar Maaytah, that we did more...a lot more. And the result was a thing of beauty. We invested a lot in our home with KCE, but I feel we got at least 3X in return. Ammar is a brilliant artist with a feel for materials, color and subtlety. Recently, we had a water damage issue. He came in with an imaginative solution and he delivered. I trust Ammar and his staff to recommend a great solution AND to deliver. And I get more than I pay for...a lot more. Because of KCE my wife and I live in a work of art.

I also like that they are a small business - I felt my project was important to them even though it was not the "biggest" (especially since I broke it into 2 phases for my own budget planning).

This outfit was understaffed, showed poor planning, poor judgement, unprofessional job standards, and poor clean-up. The good news is they fixed all the problems ... well, mostly. The bad news is that there were just so many problems, causing endless delays. Staff was not available; planning was improvised and sloppy (requiring work to be redone again and again); work quality was indifferent. In the end I had to finish the clean-up, and I'm still fishing loose steel screws out of the cabinet shelves. Delays turned the promised 3-day job into 8 working days spread over two weeks, leaving us with no kitchen and a house mess for much longer than we planned. In the end, we got our kitchen cabinets resurfaced, and it looks fine. But what a frustrating, amateur road we travelled to get there. Cannot recommend this outfit.
