    Far better option than building your IKEA kitchen on your own. Mike is professional, meticulous, and an absolute expert in this space. He's already put in his 10k hours so you don't have to. Super happy with the cost, speed, and final product. 100% recommend.

    Mike just completed our kitchen, and I'm so impressed! I've never done a remodel before, and truth be told I was pretty nervous. I'm so glad I found Mike: He was easy to communicate with, took the time to explain things clearly, and did meticulous work. It's clear he takes great pride in his work, and the results speak for themselves. Our kitchen came out beautifully! I was also very happy with the way he managed to make a small schedule change to fit in a couple of hours in on a different day. We had two backorder items that weren't supposed to arrive for two more weeks, but they unexpectedly arrived much sooner. Mike was able to come back sooner than originally planned so that our kitchen could be completed. Hooray!

    Mike did a fantastic job with our EasyClosets install in our walk-in master closet. He was organized, knowledgeable, and communacative. The process was smooth, and the price completely reasonable. It was clear that he's done a lot of these types of installs and that he cares about the details. I would absolutely use him again for future projects.

    This is a SCAM. STAY AWAY! They will advertise a price that looks great, they will tell you that the next available appointment is many weeks away and require a big downpayment to hold the spot on the calendar. Even though the site says they accept creadit cards - thay will ask to transfer the downpayment in a form of cash transfer (Apple Cash, Zelle, or The cash app) that can not be tracked/disputed/reverted. Later on they will ask for more upfont money. They refuse to meet in person and seem to be using a stolen identity. STAY AWAY! P.S. See attached pics with conversations captured in there.

    When we set out to start our kitchen remodel, one of our biggest concerns was finding a contractor that had experience in building Ikea cabinets. I found Mike thru Yelp and and was impressed with the 5 star reviews. Once I started working with Mike I was confident we had picked the right person. He is good at communication, very punctual, a hard worker and definitely knows what he is doing. Everything worked exactly like he said it would. I paid him to come measure and look over my design. He provided some critical feedback and was responsive anytime I had questions. We paid a deposit to secure his time and he showed up when he was supposed to and completed everything on scheduled. He even returned a couple weeks later when I received all the doors and handles and completed the install. If your building an IKEA kitchen, I highly recommend using Mike.

    Mike was a pleasure to work with. He is responsive, detailed oriented, hard working, and organized. We hired him for two jobs. First, he built and installed my IKEA kitchen cabinets and I couldn't be happier! He was on time and completed the work within his estimated time frame. On the last day, he told us he installed something incorrectly and would order replacement parts from IKEA. He came back a few weeks later with the new parts and fixed his mistake. We also had an empty master closet walk-in closet and he gave suggestions on what we could do. His suggestion was much cheaper than custom closet solutions. We ended up ordering our closet from EasyCloset and had him install that as well. I highly suggest him for any IKEA or EasyCloset projects

    These days you never know who you're going to get when you hire out for a service like this. For example we've used TaskRabbit as suggested by IKEA before and it was a terrible experience. We started looking elsewhere, and found Michael and Ikea Builder. The experience was exceptional! First was his great and fast communication, fast quote turnaround, and never ever changed the quote once we got started. Not only is Michael a hard worker, but he's a skilled worker, two things I feel once you find them you hold on to that contact forever. We will now always turn to Michael for all our Ikea builds. There's a reason why this page is full of 5 star reviews! Thank you Michael!

    Updating review with latest encounter. While Mike gave me his word for an extra visit for the unfinished items, he never replied or answered any or my calls. I really wish to give him better ratings but it's the best so far.

    Remodeling my house has been an absurdly frustrating process. The hands down highlight so far has been working with Mike to do my kitchen cabinet installation. Why? - He's responsive. He returned my phone call the same day and got me scheduled for his next available appointment within a month. - He's exact. He reviewed the design I had with a fine toothed comb and made sure to ask me questions to figure out if it would meet my functional needs and made a number of great suggestions. He also identified a number of problems that the IKD designers just flat out missed. - He's a craftsman. We can knock IKEA quality all we want but let's be real, the reason why most IKEA stuff breaks is because of the people who build it (I'm looking at you and me). He's been building these kitchens for the past 8+ years. He's like a one-man Toyota assembly line. The end result was beyond what I could have anticipated and far far far better than 99% of the experiences I've had with construction people thus far. Despite a months long delay caused by supply chain problems at IKEA, Mike delivered the best kitchen possible for a very reasonable price and minimal headache on my end. Even my notoriously picky difficult to please Asian mother was impressed! I will be calling him back to do my bathrooms and closets. Would highly highly recommend!

    My Kitchen remodeled by Mike !

    Mike did a great Job in remodeling our Kitchen. He does it 30% lesser than IKEA installers & will squeeze in a slot quicker than the 3+ months wait by IKEA. Make sure you have him come and take measurements before you order your cabinets. He will also give exceptional tips to customize your kitchen to give an upscale outlook.

    Mike built and installed my IKEA kitchen cabinets and I couldn't be happier! From the time I reached out to him, he was responsive, easy-going, reliable, and honest. He conveniently quoted the job on the phone with some photos and my IKEA designs to guide him. While doing the job, Mike helped me figure out how to make the decisions and even saved me some money along the way. He was fun to have around for a few days, my cat loved him, and most importantly he did an amazing job! I love my new kitchen.

    This is the second time I asked for Patty's help to design our kitchen remodel. We like the kitchen…read morePatty designed for us in our previous house: beautiful, functional and simplistic. When we moved to our current home, we encountered several challenges with the original kitchen cabinets and drawers, upon which we further appreciated the seemingly small details that Patty put in that makes your everyday life so much easier: deep enough drawers, convenient back row access, and functional ways of managing blind corners. When we finally decided to remodel our current kitchen, without a doubt, I reached out to Patty for help. She spent enormous time going through the details of what we wanted for the kitchen, brainstorming with me, and then proposed several options for us to consider. She proactively came to our construction site multiple times to ensure the measurements are accurate, and she spent quality time with our construction crew to ensure the installation is perfect. As the project moved along, we had several new ideas and alterations in mind that was beyond our original plan, and every time this happened, Patty always patiently adjusted the design for us. It is really apparent that as much as we did, Patty wanted the kitchen to be as perfect as we have dreamed of, as if it were her own. And it did. We couldn't be more happier with the outcome. Our family have been utterly enjoying all the family cooking and gathering in our new kitchen. We owe this a lot to Patty's superb design skills, practical considerations, and ultimately the strong ownership and professionalism. Thank you again Patty and Signature Kitchen Design!

From the very beginning, Patty listened thoughtfully to our vision, needs, and family's rhythm. I leaned on her expertise and trusted her recommendations completely. I'm glad I did. She took my aesthetics and ideas and skillfully incorporated them into a design that felt deeply "us," while elevating everything in ways I couldn't have achieved on my own. We now have more space, a peninsula where our whole family can eat, all without knocking down walls. This wasn't just a kitchen remodel for us; it was a kitchen that evolved with our family, and one we will enjoy for years to come as we move into the late elementary and junior high seasons of raising our kids. Patty and Kurt put their heart in the heart of the home! Patty said that "it takes a village," and that is exactly what this process felt like: a true village effort, thoughtfully coordinated to bring everything together beautifully. Their attention to detail was outstanding from precise measurements to careful planning, thoughtful execution, and consistent, attentive follow-up with us throughout the project. We always felt cared for, never rushed, and deeply supported in our decisions. Patty and Kurt treated us like partners in the process, not just clients, and their communication was clear, warm, and reassuring from start to finish. Our finished kitchen has exceeded our expectations in both beauty and function, and it brings us joy every single day. Friends, family, and neighbors continue to compliment the transformation and the quality of the design. If we ever need renovation advice in the future, Signature Kitchen & Bath will be our first call. We recommend Patty and Kurt without hesitation to anyone looking for experts in cabinet and kitchen design, genuinely care about their clients, and bring caliber and reliability to a renovation.

    5 stars in every way. Long read, here is a detailed review…read more We contacted Mike in mid 2021 for a major job. Very large kitchen in a historic San Francisco home. This was not a $20k or 30k job - it was much bigger. So we had to be absolutely sure of the craftsmanship, the customer service, and more. It had to be fully custom and absolutely world class quality to fit the quality of the home and kitchen remodel. Summary - they delivered beyond my absurdly high expectations. From the very start, my designer had a good feeling about Mike - he was very upfront and transparent, and his whole team was full of nice people. Shelly is very responsive and helpful even with the basic things - you can tell right away they care a lot about attention to detail and to customer service. We hired Mike over 5 others we considered, and he was the most expensive bid actually (not by too much, by about 5% more than the 2nd highest and about 10% more than the lowest). Hiring Dickinson Cabinetry proved to be one of the very best decisions we made in our 1 year long remodel. In the middle of supply chain issues and Covid, Mike was always honest about the timeline. It was a bit longer than I would have liked but that was no fault of Mike's - everything was delayed. But Mike was honest and helpful and level headed about it all. Then came the product and install date. Mike's team, led by Raul, came by for delivery right on time in the morning and let me just tell you - the QUALITY of these cabinets and the wood island is absolutely obvious. The craftsmanship is superb. If you know nothing about cabinets, even then it's obvious. That's the great thing about great things - everyone can tell it's great! Now here is where it starts to get really amazing. We had a few issues and changes requested. Joe was the man here - he was super helpful along with being such a nice guy. He never got annoyed at my small requests and it was clear Joe & Mike wanted my family to be 110% happy. Antonio came by to do touch up work and is a very patient and talented guy. He must have come back 4 times - each time with a smile on his face and endless patience to get it perfect as I wanted it. Antonio did a great job fixing up every little nook and cranny I needed help with - just an awesome job. Some other cabinet makers might make nice cabinets. The Hyatt has nice hotel rooms, too. Mike, Joe, Antonio, Raul, Shelly - they are like the Four Seasons. Every little detail is world class. I have enjoyed every conversation I have had with every member of this team because everyone is just so nice and customer focused and patient. Along with the cabinets being a work of art themselves oozing with quality. If you are considering Dickinson Cabinetry, my strong opinion is you would be making a big mistake if you picked another cabinet maker. Thank you so much Mike, Joe, Antonio, Raul, Shelly!
