Highly recommend Dermot and Goodlife Kitchens for Kraftmaid Cabinetry. I had used their services 20 years ago and the great experience had stuck in my mind. Fast forward to 2025, I contacted Dermot and again got the same great service and excellent pricing. Both times, my projects were not very big. No matter, Dermot gave us the same attention and was always ready to guide us and answer questions, even when he was on vacation in Ireland. I look forward to working with Dermot for future projects! read more

Just finishing a kitchen remodel. Dermot was very helpful from the beginning. We love the cabinets. And Dermot was easy to work with. He spent many hours helping us design the kitchen layout and provide the plans for our contractor. And was always responsive to questions that came up during the remodel process. A great experience. read more

I'm so glad we found Goodlife kitchens for our kitchen renovation. Dermot immediately put us at ease during a stressful process. He was incredibly patient as we tried several Kraftmaid cabinet layouts, and a trusted advisor based on his industry experience. Once the cabinets arrived, he came to our home to inspect and make sure we were satisfied. Would recommend to anyone! read more

I wanted to see Kraftmaid Cabinets before purchasing but they didn't have any in my local store. I called around and found Dermot at Goodlife Kitchens and so glad that I did! Dermot was so easy and positive to work with. He came out to my home and in the end Designed my Kitchen and I couldn't be more delighted with the end result. I would recommend you start and end with Dermot. He made a challenging project very easy. read more

Our experience with Dermot at Goodlife Kitchens was incredibly positive. I collected quotes from Lowes and Home Depot, in addition to a large local showroom, and was surprised by the high prices, even with "20%+ discounts" applied. Dermot's quote was thousands less without sacrificing the features that we wanted such as wide drawer lowers and pull-out, soft-close pantry shelves. He consulted on our design and even spoke with our contractor about installation when the time came. When we needed a replacement cabinet, Dermot had one rushed to us. We've been using our kitchen for about 6 months now and we're very happy with the quality. You won't regret this choice. read more

Dermot was wonderful to work with! He was kind and helpful and very knowledgeable. He was easy to communicate with and patient with the changes we made and questions I had (this was our first kitchen remodel). The cabinets arrived on time and look great! I ended up needing to order a few more doors for existing cabinets and this was a very simple and pleasant experience as well. Highly recommend! read more

Dermot at Goodlife Kitchens was absolutely AMAZING in my search for new kitchen cabinets. First of all, he explained to me many different types of wood types, and how the pros/cons of each for the kitchen, and was extremely patient about it as well. Secondly, his prices are absolute amazing and will beat out those of big box stores (like Home Depot and Lowe's). Lastly, he was extremely patient in coming over to my house to remeasure parts of the kitchen just to make sure that everything was correct, and was also patient when I had changed the order several times near the last minute. I would highly recommend Dermot and Goodlife Kitchens for all of your kitchen cabinet needs, read more

If there were more stars we would give them. Dermot has been AMAZING to work with. He has help us with our new kitchen, or new bathroom and the area around our fireplace. With his years of experience he makes great suggestions of styles and models, and types of wood and colors. He made sure he took precise measurements, and walked us through where gaps would be and how to efficiently use our space. He wouldn't admit it but he is awesome with the software that he uses, providing us with detail layouts, 3D modeling and even colors to see what might work. When we were ready to place the order, he walked through everything again to make sure we understood everything, he couldn't have made the ordering process more fun and easy. THANKS! read more

I got a kitchen from this guy over 5 years ago and when I asked him recently about bumpers/stoppers for my cabinets(I had lost them) he called into my house with a bag of them. Now my cabinets are soft close again and banging them has way less dramatic effect! Tell me if you have a home depot/lowes guy call in to your house and remember your kids name to boot. As a Nopa Mama with kids in the local school it is nice to walk by his shop and kids always get a wave and a tickle. Support your local biz,huge corporations or this guy? He is so cheery and the follow through is unique.Also waaay cheaper then the big guys which was my motivation to buy my kitchen through him in the first place.It still looks great(I am a foodie and hard on my K) but what I remember about his shop was he asked are you a baker or a cook? What do you cook?Still I think about the guidance I got and how my dream kitchen is v. productive cos he asked the right q."s. I t would be silly not to get one of your quotes from him. read more

I started working with Dermott at Goodlife Kitchens two years ago when we bought this place. After several false starts, we completed the project this year. Each time, Dermott was patient in taking us through all of the options, explaining the pros and cons thoughtfully. He sent us drawings and estimates, no fuss, no pressure. He's a funny guy to boot, so it's a pleasure to work with him. Dermott took care of all of the details. The carpentry and cabinets are perfect, exceeding even our wildest expectations. His tile guy was amazing, taking ordinary tile and making it into something truly special. The counters and floors are exceptional. The entire time, Dermott was great at letting us know what was happening. In the end, the prices were reasonable and we feel like we got a new kitchen for a steal. I can't recommend this place highly enough. read more

I cannot begin to say enough good things about Dermot. I originally met him when I was looking for someone to do the cabinets (kitchen, bathroom, laundry room) for our 1890's Victorian. We were undertaking a large scale remodel/restoration. He was extremely patient with changes and offered great ideas and suggestions. Fast forward 4 months and I contacted him again as our plans were finally done and were ready to get going. I asked him for some General Contractor referrals, which he gave me, along with himself. I had no idea he was a GC! After getting three bids we decided to go with Dermot. From day one he stepped in and help us sort out some problems with our plans, driving up to the architect in Santa Rosa several times without hesitation. The remodel took approximately 9 months, start to finish. We left our home for 5 months and he worked tirelessly to get us back home as soon as possible (we were in the house during the last 4 months of the job). We have dealt with many contractors and projects over the years (never anything of this large scale) and never had anything gone as seamless as this. He came in on time and on budget, did many extra things without asking for money, and the quality of the work was superb. All of the subs (plumber, carpenter, electrician, floors, drywall, etc.) were great to work with as well. In summary, Dermot was a joy to work with and is a person of high integrity. Lastly, we are thrilled with our Kraftmaid cabinets! They look beautiful, and the fit and finish is outstanding. read more

Not only did Dermot help us pick out the exact right cabinets for our new kitchen, but he helped us design the space, had the materials delivered in record time and handled all communications with the supplier. And almost two years later, we had a very minor flaw appear on one of the cabinet doors and he had a replacement ordered and handled within a day of our email. Personal service, very professional and sells great products that they stand behind. read more

You could not find a better person than Dermot Howard to work with on your home renovations. He is extremely knowledgeable and hardworking, and a complete pleasure to work with. He completed our project on time and on budget. Dermot supervised the remodel of our kitchen in mid-2016. We have an older house in the Marina and the kitchen floor plan presented a number of challenges. Dermot worked tirelessly with us through numerous iterations of the overall layout and the selection of appropriate cabinets. Dermot worked around our schedule and he was always available for consultation. The KraftMaid cabinets are lovely and we were impressed at the large variety of sizes and designs. Dermot's knowledge of the product and his attention to detail were key to reaching an excellent layout for our kitchen. The subcontractors recommended by Dermot (tile, electrical, plumbing, painting) also were excellent. To know Dermot is to love him. We only wish that he could help us with all of our other projects. We strongly recommend Dermot and KraftMaid. read more

Dermott helped us design our kitchen 6 years ago and strikes that perfect balance between listening to our needs and wishes while making very helpful suggestions on making it work in our space. Recently we made some modifications in our kitchen design and he was immensely helpful and his wealth of knowledge and creativity tweaked our plans to make everything perfect. The kitchen is arguably the most important space in our home and thank heavens we had Dermott to bring it to life! read more

Goodlife kitchens has the best prices for Kraftmaid cabinets, but not just that, they also have great service. Dermot provided professional advice and helped us layout our kitchen exactly how we wanted. On top of that he was always around for questions and support. He even helped me install parts that my installers couldn't, with no extra charge. After we finished the cabinet installation he recommended a great contractor for doing the backsplash. We're happy we decided to go with him. read more

We couldn't be happier with Dermot's services. He gave us a new kitchen in three weeks (we didn't need plumbing or electrical) and it's exactly what we wanted! He's knowledgeable, personable, responsive by phone/email, and has a team of qualified contractors whom he can spring into action. Just a straight-up professional guy who's a pleasure to do business with. We would hire him in a heartbeat if we ever needed to remodel a kitchen again. Thank you, Dermot!! read more

Absolute best prices on kitchen cabinets and counter tops anywhere. We have gotten two full kitchens from Goodlife Kitchens. Each time we shopped around for the best price and service in the bay area. Both times Dermot beat the competition by a substantial margin. He was very thorough in helping make sure the design fit our space and that the finished product worked the way we had hoped. Since he is an experienced contractor he does not have to guess if something will work (like some of the employees at the big retailers), he can draw from direct on the job experience regarding design, engineering and city permitting. This is a huge advantage over an inexperienced employee at an order desk. Goodlife kitchens is hands down the best place to get kitchen cabinets in the bay area. We recommend most highly. read more

About 9 years ago I bought kitchen cabinets at Goodlife Kitchens from Dermot Howard. Not only I received an outstanding service and advice during purchasing process, but the quality of the kitchen cabinets was (and currently is) outstanding. The cabinets are looking now exactly as they were brand new after their delivery nine years ago. Recently I noted that the screw on the one of my cabinets was bent (credit to my grandson who was using it as his playground gym), I contacted Dermot and asked for an advice. Dermot reminded me that the cabinets carry a lifetime warranty and immediately ordered for me the entire new hardware set free of charge. Fantastic Service! Alex Troyanovsky San Francisco read more

Dermot was a pleasure to work with! We had a great experience. We appreciated his knowledge, his responsiveness to our calls, his suggestions, and and all around helpfulness. On top of this, his cabinets are well-priced. We received an excellent product, had no problems, and everything was in perfect condition upon receipt. Dermot made it easy. He's a good guy selling a good product. read more

Dermot remodeled 2 full baths and a kitchen in Miraloma for us in 2012. We are very OCD and did a lot of research beforehand. We interviewed a wide range of contractors, designers, companies - everything from trendy design firms to Home Depot and Lowe's. Dermot is your go-to for kitchen cabinets, bath cabinets, and and kitchen remodel jobs. He's very communicative, honest, gives you the bottom-line price (and tells you it's not the rock-bottom price), and can throw in some ideas about design if you're clueless or about to do something you will regret big-time. He's extremely patient (one of our email threads went over 100 messages), completed our project in the time frame he gave us, and was always cheerful about his work. He helped us on every aspect of the project: design, cabinets, countertops, plumbing fixtures, electrical, demolition/permits, etc. Several months later, he and his subcontractors have been out to fix/follow up on any issues that came up rather than dumping us like I am sure others would have. It might be a bit cheaper to do this through Home Depot, but the hassle and headache won't be worth it. Save money by going for the generic toilet paper, not the corporate contractor. We wholeheartedly recommend Dermot and Goodlife Kitchens. read more

Goodlife does it right. He is very budget friendly. How many times have you spoken to a salesperson and instead of pressuring you to buy, they tell you to go check out his competitiors? My dealings with him were honest, and he actually advised me against some cabinet features that others tried to sell me. When I took his advice and went to Home Depot for a quote and went back to him, I was surprised how much I was able to save. Never thought I'd get a local merchant able to beat the hated big box behemoth! What was even nicer was his attention to detail: I was on a budget and he knew it, and while my wife and I were deliberating over to glaze or not to glaze, he gave me a phone call telling me there was a promotion that was running and saved me even more money. Thanks Goodlife! read more

I had a great experience with them! He spent a lot of time helping me with the design. The cabintets arrived in great condition. He also helped us with a quartz counter, which I love. read more

This is a great place to buy quality cabinets. I went with a Home Depot quote for a custom entertainment center after reading all the excellent reviews and found like the others that Dermot beats the HD price by a good margin, plus it appears you get better features and support because he is an official distributor. He is also very knowledgeable (great if you install the cabinets yourself) and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the market for a kitchen remodel or custom cabinetry. read more

We have spent the past year checking out nearly every cabinet place in the Bay Area, and Dermot at Goodlife Kitchens is the absolute best, hands down, in service, pricing, quality, and quickness. Save yourself the time and call Dermot first. SERVICE: Dermot at Goodlife Kitchens is a shining example of fantastic service, and is an absolute pleasure to work with. Goodlife is far more knowledgeable about the features, what works, and what doesn't than other vendors. They are SUPER QUICK too, and turned a quote and mock-up of our kitchen design around for us in just one day (unreal!). Furthermore, Goodlife is the only cabinet company that gave us an option within our budget - aka. GOODLIFE LISTENS! PRICING: As if that wasn't good enough, Dermot's prices are the best around, and believe me, we did our research. in fact, I dare you to find a better price! You'll just waste a lot of time. The pricing on Goodlife's kraftmaid cabinets beat out other competitors like Quality Kitchen Cabinets, and Home Depot by a landslide. His prices on these high quality cabinets were even comparable with import companies in the Avenues who sell very poor quality cabinets with no guarantee as to quality and durability, and have terrible customer service. We gave Goodlife our budget, and Dermot came back with two options without us even asking- one that fit our tight budget but was missing a few bells and whistles, and one that was a slightly beyond our budget but had some great extras. CAPABILITY: Goodlife was spot on in fitting our dimensions and addressing the odd shape of our kitchen, and recommending great solutions for fillers, spacing, layout, and organization that other cabinet companies hadn't even thought of. read more

Dermot really knows quality kitchen remodels and is great in sharing his wealth of knowedge and working with you throughout the process. He does things the right way and only the right way, and will not cut corners or sacrifice quality. Having his store, Goodlife Kitchens, close by is a huge plus. When you go there, you have his full attention and truly get the best kitchen for you and your home. That said, you don't even have to go to the store, as Dermott is great about meeting at your home with all sorts of materials and samples. I love my Goodlife Kitchen and very much appreciate that Dermot will answer my questions and help in any way, well after the project is done. read more

I manage a guesthouse for seriously ill children and I chose Goodlife Kitchens to replace the kitchen cabinets in our 6 kitchens. We could only close one kitchen at a time, so that we could continue to serve families during the project and this created logistical challenges that Dermot handled with flexibility and precision. From beginning to end Dermot was a pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond to make this project a success. If you're looking for high quality and a company you can trust, I recommend Goodlife Kitchens for your next kitchen remodel. read more

I took the time to sign up with Yelp today so I could write this review. If you want to work with the MOST responsible, conscientious, and caring business man I cannot recommend Dermott Howard , owner of Goodlife Kitchens, enough. He is a fantastic person. I unfortunately, had a bad experience with the actual cabinets, but my service and follow thru from Dermott, from designing, ordering and eventual (sadly) pickup of cabinets was above and beyond helpful. Let me start 1. I designed the layout with Dermott......he is fabulous at helping with ideas and oh so patient.....HE MAKES IT FUN!. 2. He gave me a very reasonable quote and we ordered. He does not take credit cards so I paid in full with a check. 3. Dermott ordered the cabinets and said it would be about 4 weeks but he would let me know in a day or so the actually delivery date. 4. Dermott called back the same day and said it would be a 21 day delivery...which it was. 5. Cabinets came in with some major flaws and I called Dermott....he immediately helped me contact the maker (Kraftmaid regional rep) and Dermott arranged for the rep to come look at them. 6. I loved Dermott's professionalism and quick response. I met with Kraftmaid rep and came to a successful resolution. 7. AGAIN DERMOTT is the best. He could have left me hanging (since I paid cash up front). He did not, he really really takes care of his clients. What a great way to do business. Thanks Dermott read more
