    Simply incredible! Julio and team exceeded my expectations. As an designer, I can't help but pay attention to the minutest of detail, so to work with a craftsman that is even more obsessive than me was pure joy. The kitchen cabinets Julio designed, built, and installed were of the highest quality. My wife and I were more than pleased. However, Julio doesn't just create great cabinetry, he is genuine--a professional full of integrity and honesty. If you have any cabinetry (or woodworking) needs I highly recommend JD Cabinets.

    Upgrading our master sitting room to a library is the biggest remodeling project we have ever undertaken, and Julio put it together for us, better than we could have imagined. Now all my books have a home, and my family has a new favorite room in the house. After rough preparation work by other contractors, Julio put in the following: 140 linear feet of library shelves, countertops and cabinets under all of them, a matching work table, hidden speaker and screen enclosures, crown moulding and baseboards (the whole room), and a spectacular mantelpiece around our new gas fireplace. All of it was made with designs, materials, and finishes we chose, sometimes after much discussion. (I'm an engineer but not a carpenter, so there were lots of design ideas to go through.) In the design and fabrication process Julio was always there to give us excellent advice and guidance, and he quietly let us follow our inclinations and whims. When an idea didn't work out he cheerfully helped us find a better one. Sometimes this even involved a change to work that was already done, but Julio was invariably supportive about getting it done for us just right. And that's what happened in the end. Sometimes we paid extra for time and materials after changes, but on the whole everything happened according to Julio's original estimates, because he never gave us the "nickel and dime" treatment some contractors are fond of. The actual installation work was done in a neat, competent, and timely way. We were picky about many of the details and Julio and his men dealt with them all with cheerful professionalism. I would hire Julio's team again in a heartbeat, on any important project involving fine, tasteful craftsmanship.

    Julio and his team designed, built and installed a custom bathroom vanity cabinet and mirrored medicine cabinet for my master bedroom. He came to my house twice before the installation date, once as a pre-sale visit and once the day before installation to make sure everything was in order. I also visited his shop in Newark 3 times during the fabrication process to make sure my evolving requirements were met. I handled the plumbing and purchased a Jensen custom dual-bowl cultured marble vanity top from Dale Hardware in Fremont. Julio chose the cabinet wood and stain so it would perfectly match my bedroom set. He is a good communicator and was patient with my continual questions via text messages, phone calls and visits throughout the process. His 3 person installation team which included Julio himself did a great job, including installation of the vanity top which I could never have done alone. All in all this was a great experience and we are extremely pleased.

    Anyone considering getting new cabinets should visit JD Custom Cabinets. My husband and I had been planning our kitchen remodel for many months before we got started, and had visited several cabinet suppliers and installers before we found Julio at JD Custom Cabinets. After our first meeting we knew we would be using them for our kitchen remodel. Every step, from measuring our kitchen and appliances, to our visits to the shop to see samples and pick a color, (which he matched perfectly to a piece of furniture we have in our kitchen), to the final installation of our new cabinets, was made convenient for us and was done professionally and on schedule. Julio always accommodated our schedule changes, and quickly found solutions to every hiccup that arose through no fault of his. When we got a new built in microwave part way through the job, and had to ask him to change the whole layout to fit the new measurements, he was fast to let me know it was no problem for him and he was happy to do it for us. His crew works very well together and does a thorough job, and they were a pleasure to have in our home. The final result, the finished product, was the icing on the cake. They did a fantastic job, and we couldn't be happier with their work and with our beautiful cabinets. In my opinion, two of the best compliments you can give a contractor is to say you would use them again, and that you would recommend them to your family and friends. With JD Custom Cabinets I would do both.

    Max and Igor did an awesome job with the cabinetry install for our ADU…read more They were punctual and professional, and communicated clearly throughout. Their work reflects a keen attention to detail. After wrapping up two long days of work, they even went the extra mile to explain to me (the owner) all of the features and functionality of the cabinets. They also put extra care into protecting the cabinets so that other sub-contractors would not damage them.

    Small company with poor customer service. We need kitchen…read morecabinets and few other cabinets, we approached this company to get an estimate, the initial draft plans were provided to them and after a little while they provided first initial estimate and we were pleased with price to quality ratio. We informed the office manager who we talked to initially that estimate doesn't have that we need/all the cabinets, but we could work on this while they come to a site for review. Vladimir, the owner of the company, came by, took all measurements, pictures and said we would be work with Nadia her wife/company designer on this project. We signed contract and paid initial deposit to start the work. The one thing what made me a little nervous right from the beginning is when I visit their "shop" in Newark I noticed they don't have much there, no show room and whole shop consist of only two machineries. I am somewhat familiar with cabinetry manufacturing processes and know those are absolutely not enough to manufacture everything they offer, but based on conversation with couple previous customers they work with I figured if they delivered product to those customers and kitchen cabinets looked fine, I shouldn't be worry about, even if they subcontract everything to others and just assemble these cabinets in their shop and do some minor work, it would be OK w me. So, we start working with Nadia on design of all cabinet and here is where we run into problems. It seems they are not paying attention to details and we have to go multiple times back and forward repeating ourself and pointing out the same issues/errors in design which made this whole process very frustrating. We asked Nadia to some over to a job site for her to see all herself, to make things easier, but she never did. Also, any minor changes that should takes minutes to adjust or correct was taking days and weeks. At the end as we got more and more frustrated and I send them email asking all the questions I had and my frustration and asking if we made mistake starting working this them? And....., instead of assuring us that everything would be OK and correcting the issues of our concerns, they simply said that if we don't like it, we can break/cancel contract, so we did. Shocking customer service !!! Basically we wasted month and a half from Nov 6 2024 until Dec 12 on nothing and for our deposit we only receiving some PDF drawings that would be useless for others, as others would still need to re-draw everything in AutoCAD (or other program) and again not even the whole thing, all the cabinets we telling them from the beginning are missing from designed, they never addressed those, but we specifically went on each cabinet and location with Vladimir on his initial and only visit. Very unfortunate, as we had hopes for this company. I think the main issue with this company is mom-and-pop shop (which I am not against) but they are overwhelms and because run by husband and wife they may not want argue between each other and run a company as it should and as result disregarding customers needs. Hope they will learn and make changes, but for now I would recommend think twice before starting working with them and do visit their manufacturing site at minimum. Also, they run business under other name as cabinetrybayarea.com ___________________________________________________________________ UPDATER - In response to Vladimir's (owner) response/comments! Please stop, sorry to say "lying", YOU and Nadia always received our answers immediately on any question you raised, period!! Never was any delay from our end. On other hand, Nadia/designer as I explained in my original post took long time to make any changes, and by the time she did, she either forgot what was discussed and asked to change. As it seems she didn't take any notes!!! Not sure about your Feb 14 remark, just weird. As for the tone of my original email to you, I'll post it here as attachment screenshot for others to see and think for themselves if this was "harsh", and as I told you initially, if you or your wife too sensitive, can't take criticism of your work or customer service - you are in a wrong business. ________________________________________________

    We are incredibly happy with the work Kay did for us and would recommend him without reservation…read more Kay did several projects for us at once - converting some extra space into a closet, building an entire wall of bookshelves in our dining room, and installing floating shelves in our office. He was great to work with throughout the whole process; some highlights: * Attention to Detail - Kay made sure we were happy with every detail of the build before moving on from design. He went back and forth with us and generated new renders for even minor changes to make sure we were 100% happy. * Moved Fast - Kay was always extremely responsive over email and when he needed to come by in person he would often come by the same day (and was very generous in the windows of availability he gave us). * Quality Sub-Contractors - All the sub-contractors Kay involved, from installation to painting, were as great to work with as he was. * Accommodated Our Asks - We had a few non-standard asks in the design but Kay went above and beyond to accommodate them. The best recommendation is probably whether we would hire Kay again, and we absolutely will - we already have a growing list of Kay projects for the future.

At the beginning everything was great, Kay came in several times to our place, show us samples, design ect, by June we agreed on everything and he started building cabinets, by Sep and Oct he delivered two vanities, MBR cabinets, later office, kids and living room and by October we were happy with results. Then something happened to him or his business. He took large deposit to continue building kitchen and entrance cabinet and promised to deliver all in November. November came and he is MIA, no responses to Ph calls or emails, until I wrote strong email explaining that I will place a stop on deposit paid w CC. He replied back to email, saying he is OK, but would not be able to deliver until January 2026. we agreed and continued to wait, in January he has gone again MIA, even other subs couldn't get a hold of him, cabinet installer, cabinet painter. After several appents to contact him he responded back that he is 100% guarantee to deliver all on Feb 13. On my question whats is happening, he was just mumbling some nonsense, so we decide to wait till Feb 13. Meanwhile we could not move in to our place and have to spend money to keep two places where we live and our new apartment w/o kitchen. On Feb 12 I emailed him asking if he is coming tomorrow Feb 13 and no response. I asked other subs to see if they can get a hold of him and no success either. So after month and a half, after me calling Credit card and canceling payment to him, and several attempts he finally responded and on my question what is going on he said he is fine and still in business. After request to explain what the hack is going on he said he want to "fix" his mistake and he will deliver all in mid May, because NOW he is building others customers cabinets. Even after my explanation that this is not right, that my order was from last year and he screw my whole family and should fix this issue as priority and after that take care other customers, he couldn't get it and refused to deliver all in April. I give him 30 days to build and deliver and explained to him that I simply can't trust him and wait another month and a half , as he lied and broken promises to me already half a dozen time. So, now I will take him to the court for all the money I lost, time and all emotional damage he cause to me and my family. So, watch out and protect yourself.

That is when we decided to reach out to HBKB and immediately felt at ease and were confident that we have come to the right place. Wei has a sharp eye for detail. He frankly shared an honest feedback on the work done on our first bathroom. He literally spotted all the issues that were bothering us (and then some) in first few minutes. HBKB crew is quite busy so getting to the calendar took some time, but they are worth the wait. Wei is extremely prompt in responding and keeps you up to date with the progress. All the area of the house that could get dust from the work were properly covered, floor was nicely protected. Every day the crew would clean up so that even from outside there is no trash laying around. The bathroom took a little over 2 weeks and we are very happy with the result. The finish is much better. We can totally compare with our first bathroom and tell what difference does it make to go to the professionals. All the team members were very professional, courteous and hardworking. We are quite certain that we would reach out to HBKB for our next home project.

After a quick Yelp search, we came across Elite Custom Cabinetry and Fidel was able to see what was already done and listened to what I wanted to do. He quickly understood what was needed, listened for any design input, even provided some options with regards to trim styles to be installed in between each bookcase. On the day of installation, just a few hours went by and the crown molding, various pieces of trim, and nearly perfectly matching baseboards were installed. Lots of little bits here and there were considered to truely give the appearance of a built-in library. The work was perfect, especially given where the starting line was. When the work was done, their clean up was so good, not a piece of dust was left behind. On top of everything, pricing was very reasonable. For the work that was done, the cost was very fair. I would not hesitate recommending this company to anyone looking to complete a bookshelf/library project. I am sure they do other types of work but as far as libraries go, nothing but fantastic work.
