Can't say enough about how great things went. Was one of only a few companies that would even work under insurances plan of saving doors on cabinets but rebuilding insides. Did it all very quick compared to what I have heard of from contractors and even made sure small details were taken care of when the project was finished. Great experience and work was done from beginning to end, we are very thankful! read more

I set up an appointment with Jim but unfortunately no one showed up or called me to notify me that they're running late or not coming...well I called since I was missing work moments later after leaving a voicemail I received a text from Jim telling me that they can't take on any new projects because they just took on a massive one...waste of time and unprofessional...I would not recommend them... read more

Brian & Ben did a wonderful job in putting my kitchen back together after a water damage that started in February. Because of the COVID-19 not much could be done back then. But then In late July I called Jim and the work began & they stayed with it till the job was done early August. We were very please with the job they did from cabinets to the Floors. Thank you Angel for the wonderful job on the countertop. Thank you Jim for the wonderful crew you have. I would recommend them for any small or large jobs, you will be satisfied as both my husband & I were. Again Thank You and Gods blessing.. Jovie & Manuel Corona. read more

We were looking for someone to install new kitchen cabinets and countertops in out new home and I must have had six quotes from six different companies. Mr Zeffery's prices were very reasonable compared to other companies that didn't have half the experience or professionalism. He was quick with responding to any questions or concerns I had. I wasn't sure which direction I wanted to go in with a few things in my kitchen and he would make suggestions and I would follow them because he knew more and I'm glad I did! Mr Zeffery and his team did an amazing, beautiful job on my cabinets and countertops, it came out better than I could have imagined. I have more drawers and better use of my cabinet space. Mr Zeffery and his team were all professional and nice, and I trusted them in my home. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to have any work done in their home. I really appreciate everything, everyone that comes over now loves my new kitchen and so do I, thank you!! read more

We cannot say enough good things about Jim Zeffery and his team! They saved from us a disastrous kitchen remodel. We used another company to remodel our kitchen, guest bath and hallway cabinets. They were to install new custom cabinets which they did. However, here's the horrible part of our story. The cabinet stain quality was horrendous! Some of the cabinets were not made properly or installed properly. They didn't give us all of the cabinets doors and they didn't finish the job. In our desperation we searched Yelp and found Zeffery's Cabinet. We were so nervous about having another bad experience. The original project started at the end of July 2021 and here we were in January with no idea of if or when our remodel would be finished. Jim walked our project in a very calm, professional manner and assured us that they could fix it all. His price was reasonable for all of the work that needed to be done and he clearly laid out the project and payment schedule. His team did not make a mess in our home. They protected everything! They were quiet and went about their work. They didn't bad mouth the other company's work and just kept assuring us that all would be well. Through our horrible experience we have learned what to look for in a contractor. Zeffery's Cabinets meet all of our criteria and we highly recommend them to everyone. There are not enough words to say how happy we are with our kitchen today! read more

Jim and his team are amazing! They were responsive, clear and upfront, and did amazing work for a fair price. After dealing with a couple different companies that were not doing a good job, I am thankful we found Zeffery's Cabinets. read more

We received a call from Jim very promptly after submitting a request on Thumbtack. He was very thorough in regards to the work he would do to help us with our crown moulding installation (including a fairly tricky masonry wall that is far from ideal or square). I had a very good feeling after speaking with Jim over the phone. He came to inspect the home before providing an estimate, and his estimate was not at all out of line with what we expected. So we felt very comfortable with our decision to hire Jim. Of course, we wanted to know what kind of craftsmanship he commands. He showed multiple pictures in his portfolio that illustrate his vast talents. Again, this helped make the decision easier to move forward and schedule the 2-day job. Jim and Brian came on schedule each day (despite the long drive to Orange County), worked very efficiently, were respectful of our furniture and home, and left the home in relatively clean condition (there will always be some dust/mess). Most importantly, the work was so wonderful that we decided to have them expand the scope to include our whole house! They still got it done, with the two additional rooms, within the original 2-day schedule...and that included another troublesome masonry wall. In the end, we are very pleased with the work and professionalism of Jim and his staff, Brian. We would highly recommend Jim to friends and family and will be hiring him for future woodworking projects! read more

I can't say enough good things about Jim and his crew - professional and personable through every step! I would highly recommend them for resurfacing cabinets and new cabinet build out - and design! We downsized to a smaller house. It had a very small kitchen that was part of a small 'great' room. There was very little storage or cabinet space. The fireplace had 2 recessed areas on either side. The former owner put faux reclaimed wood in the recessed areas and mantel, and put used brick around the fireplace. The entire house had brown stained concrete on the floor- similar to what you would see in a WalMart. The walls were a gold-brown and the cabinets in the kitchen were an orange oak color, but in really good shape. We installed cream tile with brown/grey wood grain. At least, that warmed and lightened the house up. We decided we wanted to refinish the kitchen cabinets, add cabinets in the recesses between the fireplace and a long stretch of cabinets in the dining area of the great room/dinning area. We obtained 3 quotes. (I made an appointment with another recommended kitchen storefront, but they never showed up nor apologized for not showing up when I called). I've relied on YELP for other things, so I tried it for my cabinets. Zefferies Cabinets was highly rated and I loved the photos on his website. So I emailed him via Yelp. We made an appointment and he even called to confirmed it. Jim was on time, dressed professionally and most importantly - listened to me! He provided drawings and a quote in about a week. The drawings were the exact representation of what I asked for. We had to work out details, of course, but his translation of my vision was spot-on. The other two quotes did not provide drawings, were late and did not act or appear professional. After working out the electrical/lighting, style of cabinet face, molding style, color of sold surfaces and paint, etc. - we scheduled a time to start. We were not in a big hurry, so we worked with each other's schedule. The 2-3 gentlemen who did the work, impressively kept things clean and cleaned up everyday so we could live as best we could in the remodel. The detail and pride of workmanship I cannot say enough about. Brian and Ed worked well together and they truly took pride in their work. Their craftsmanship was amazing. From the design stage and even during the install, Jim and his team offered ideas and 'enhancements' that only added beauty to the work. While we did not do all of them, we are so glad we did. The details really made the difference!! read more

Loving our new garage cabinets. Jim is a master at maximizing storage space and designing cabinetry. The quality and workmanship is superior. The installers and cabinet makers are true pros! I added on kitchen roll outs and they work smoothly and perfectly and hold a lot of pots and pans! Jim is Attentive and answers calls and my questions, and patiently explains all details. You too will be pleased if Zeffery's does your job. read more

If you want to spend lots of money and deal with constant issues then please call this company. From the start it seemed things would go great. Not even halfway through I wish I could of backed out. While Jim is a very nice person his staff are so unreliable!!!! Cabinets I have are chipped,kitchen lights They installed are coming out of wall. We were promised a simple dimmer for kitchen lights and 3 trips to store and multiple attempts we are left with no dimmer and lights that blind you.Sink that leaks ever since I had it. Today a false cabinet below sink just fell off!! Garbage disposal was installed wrong!! They used Insinkerator parts from old garbage disposal and used it with Frigidaire disposal we have. Today I called a plumber for the 4th time and was told everything needs to be replaced. His caulking job turned yellow and disgusting in 2 months. Water has leaked through and made the wood wet which smells horrible and I'm sure will start to get moldy. Our stainless steel sink which he purchased from wayfair is already rusted.The plumber that came today said we can't even replace the sink unless the quartz is removed since it's being held in place.Talking about the quartz, the measurements were wrong since the actual wall is not perfect and instead of fixing wall first then doing the quartz the countertop guys just did the job and hoped we wouldn't see it. When talking about the start times, they were always planned by us and maybe 10% of time they were actually on time. Jim made constant excuses of workers whereabouts where I had to keep calling him and even drive around looking for one of his employees when I was told he was down the street which he wasn't. One of the workers even brought in a non employee into my house to do work who Jim actually told his employee was never allowed at a job site. This wasn't the first time for that. We have spent a couple thousand dollars on multiple pLumber trips,electricians,etc and our kitchen still isn't completely finished!!! Also we asked for a hood to be installed and I was told it was going to be done. I specifically told Jim to buy something for at least $500 and Jim brought the crappiest hood I could of found which was the worst hood he could of possibly got.No power and shitty model. If I spend over around 15,000 on a kitchen and I'm left with half ass work,corners cut,crappy materials and not everything completely done, how would you feel? I warn you that Jim will charm the heck out of you and gain your trust but his staff are HORRIBLE and can't back up his Promises!!!! He says they can do many things but the only thing they can do is build cabinets, which will chip and look like crap within a couple months. Also, he will make constant excuses for his staff and timing issues. Beware!!! I'm showing you only some of the ridiculous work that was done just because I can't post over a 100 photos of all the issues I have with his employees work . He also did our master closet,upstairs bathroom,downstairs closet,linen closet,laundry room,and I don't even have the time of day to go on about how those turned out,which I'm not happy either. I was contemplating on contacting him for the last couple months but I have been left with such a bad taste in my mouth I don't want anyone in this company within 100ft of my property!! We always paid before work was even done and never had issues with giving him money and in the end we got completely SCREWED!!! Please read this carefully before getting involved with this company. I can say that everyone was friendly, but when you pay 20-30k for something all I want is results and promises to be fulfilled!!! read more

We are in the process of opening a small craft winery in Crestline. I designed a tasting room and serving bar. I wanted the finished bar to have a fine finish and great craftsmanship in it's execution. I called several cabinet makers to meet with them and for pricing. Jim Zeffrey met with me and understood the level of quality I needed and provided a very reasonable estimate. Even though I had already provided detailed plans, he provided me with shop drawings to verify my intent and insure that the final product met our needs and addressed the subtle challenges of the room that I hadn't considered. I would highly recommend Jim and his company. read more

They were very efficient and professional! Great service overall! We are very satisfied!

I would like to highly recommend Jim Zeffrey of Black Coffee Cabinets. Jim has done several projects for us. In 2000 he designed and built 3 beautiful maple built cabinets for our new home. In 2012, we had a pipe burst behind a wall that destroyed the 8 foot lighted cabinet Jim had built. We were adamant with insurance that the rebuilt cabinet must be a perfect match to the other two cabinets in the room, and they agreed being unable to find a carpenter to duplicate such a piece of furniture. We contacted Jim and he immediately stepped and removed the large one piece cabinet and returned it to his workshop. He was able to save all the drawers, lighting and glass shelves when rebuilding the cabinet. The re-staining of the box was beautiful and the new cabinet was a seamless replacement. Jim's work is not only highly detailed and craftsman specific, but he's also a very professional contractor to do business with, timely response and turnover time, and his end product is always dependably exact. A very welcome change! I'm sure you will be as pleased as we have been! read more

Very pleased n highly recommend Jim and his crew! He helped us get through a difficult situation after our house flooded due to faulty appliance installation from Home Depot. We are very grateful we found Zeffery's Cabinets! read more

We had a project for a built in custom entertainment center that two previous contractors could not complete. We contacted Jim to see if he could fix the issues and complete the project to our specification. The project required detailed wood and metal finish precision.

I hired Zeffery's Cabinets April 2019. This is a late review. They were great! Love their work, very nice, dependable, always available when I had questions and got the job done in a reasonable time. Jim is very dependable. I did call him again this year may 2020 for a touch up I needed. We had our floors done by someone else and the shoe molding had to be removed from our cabinets. So some of the paint messed up and Jim's crew came fixed it. When I needed something fix to my cabinets Jim never gave me a hard time to come out. Also during this Covid time they wore mask the entire time. I would hire him again. read more

I found this company with its reviews. And I am not disappointed. Jim is very easy going and gives great ideas and informs you of everything and what to expect. During your remodel. We had our kitchen cabnets done and I am very very happy with the results. The workers are great and very nice also. I'm Very Happy I went with this company !! read more

In 42 years of home projects, Zefferies Cabinets is the most professional company we have ever dealt with. We had a large repainting project (all cabinetry in the house, 80+ cabinets, and drawers). The attention to detail was amazing. The cabinets were beautifully done. They finished the job as if it were their own homes. From the original contact with Jim through the final work, they have exceded our expectations. Jim had great suggestions for our project and we couldn't be more satisfied. We would recommend Zefferys Cabinets without reservation. read more

Jim did a great job! He came on time and walked me through the whole process. His prices were fair and the work was top notch. We are very happy with the work his team did. Jim was upfront with all the costs and talked to me about any possible setbacks when dealing with the oak in my kitchen. Once I gave him the green light to start his team came and worked within the timeframe he stated. The kitchen came out amazing! We get compliments all the time and we love it. Thank you Jim. read more

The cabinets came out fine in the end but the installation was not smooth at all and took much longer than expected.

Zeffries came out last week to do an estimate for kitchen countertops..I was told I would get a call early this week with my estimate. I never got a call! I had the feeling my job may have been too small because I did not have them do my cabinets but either way they knew before they came out that all I wanted done was countertops. I actually refinished my cabinets myself and they came out beautifully.. Anyways, I just had countertops installed today by Capital Countertops and I love how they came out. Zeffries definitely disappointed me by not getting back to me.. Guess they didn't need my business This is in response to the response below of my review. Listen.. I understand things happen. Obviously my proposal/estimate did fall through the cracks. If you would have owned up to that I would have gladly removed my review like you requested me to do in your email. But I don't appreciate the dishonesty. Truth of the matter is I received my proposal after I wrote the Yelp review. You stated in your reply that you sent the proposal to email address given which I did not receive. However I received the proposal after my Yelp review and you had the same email address. You also stated that you called and spoke to me personally afterwards, which you did not. I also don't feel like I should have followed up with you after not receiving the estimate. I had a few people giving me estimates and of course I was going to go with one of the estimates I received without having to chase them. My opinion is.. If you did not receive a response from me after you "emailed" the estimate I would think you would have followed up with me.. I'm not an unreasonable person, I am a business owner myself and I understand things happen. If you want you can forward the first email you supposedly sent to me showing when and to what email address you sent it to then I would be more than happy to delete the review. read more

Jim and his crew did an amazing job with the display cabinets with a work space on one side. Jim was very helpful from the get go. After discussion he was able to put together a design and I am very pleased with the outcome. read more

2 years ago I installed some expensive exotic granite in the kitchen with a matching granite table. A couple months ago we had an undiscovered kitchen drain crack and leaked waste from the dishwasher and disposal under the cabinet. When Servicepro came they tore out 2/3 of the lower cabinets (put supports under the granite) to dry it all up. To save the granite custom cabinets would have to be installed. All cabinet companies told me the granite would have to be replaced (along with a glass tile back guard) because they were installing ready made. Jim came out, said no problem with the custom work and gave me several options and prices. We ended up replacing the other oak cabinets and installed maple with solid raised doors and reskinned the panels. He sent out Steve who was on time, showed up every day (even worked Sat) and did meticulous quality work. If there was a problem they took care of it. Jim even matched the stain to compliment my dining and living walnut floors. Great people, super craftsmanship. read more

We were recommended to Jim Zeffery by a friend and we hired him to upgrade our old out of date kitchen in our condo. It is a small space, with not much opportunity to expand, but Jim helped us out and made some recommendations, which not only kept our costs in-line, but also included some interesting features to help us expand our storage. Now, not only is our new kitchen beautiful... it is functional, and we are very satisfied with his service. His team was professional and organized. And they cleaned up nicely after the work was done. We will certainly consider to hire Jim again in the future when we upgrade to our next bigger home.. read more

I came across this high quality company through a site called "Thumbtack". I had 5 people come and bid out building a custom library and office. Jim Zeffery stood head and shoulders above them all . He was prompt and professional. He personality is warm, and he brings a calm and knowledgeable presence to the job. As we were talking about style of wood, moldings, and color Jim looked carefully at our other furniture pieces and general "style" in our home. He brought molding catalogs for us to choose from and more importantly he brought with him his portfolio. I could tell from his pictures that his company has stood the test of time and he is able to transcend all styles from modern to county to classic. Jim can bring your vision into a reality. Jim's computerized plans were inspiring. Jim kept me up to date on each step of the process. I knew when materials were purchased, the build was done, the paint was completed and when they were being loaded on the truck. Jim always answers his phone. Only a few times did I have to leave a message. He called back within 20 minutes. I mention this because you want to be able to reach someone who is handling thousands of dollars of your money. Jim came to the job all three days of the install. Under his supervision, his team was amazing!!!! They were clean-cut, friendly, and all spoke fluent English. The team meticulously cleaned up each day. Final touch ups are done and I am so please with Jim's work. I walk by the library a hundred times a day and I think to myself, "I cannot believe this is in my home!" read more

Jim has remodeled or built most of our home. He designed and installed custom cabinets and shelves for our son's bedroom, a custom desk for our daughter, numerous entertainment centers and completely remodeled our kitchen. The reason we keep coming back to Jim is that the quality of his work and, more importantly, his work ethic, are consistently excellent. Jim does beautiful work at a fair price, he is meticulous, thoughtful and creative and always responsive to our needs and concerns. Jim stands behind his work and is a true professional - difficult to find in his industry. We highly recommend Jim and Zeffery's Cabinets without reservation and we are confident that anyone who works with him will have the same excellent experience that we've enjoyed for many years working with Jim. read more

Jim was first utilized to refloor our living room and retile our front entry way. The result was quite pleasing and added a fresh new look to our home. We were impressed with Jim"s professionalism, his ability to stick to a time schedule and give us an accurate estimate of cost. We were so impressed that we asked Jim to remodel our son's home, as it was in need of major renovation from cabinet workt, inside and outside painting, electrical problems and plumbing issues.

We recently upgarded our kitchen, custom cabinets, backsplash and granite countertops. After many estimates, Black Coffee Cabinets had the best prices. After we agreed and signed the contract, Jim, was at our house every morning, on time, until the job was compete.

We called Jim and he said he would be out to our house to take a look. Jim, was true to his word, he came out, repaired the shelf and examined all of our shelves. We've had no problems since. Job well done, Jim and thank you. read more
