Bespoke Cabinet Professionals in Santa Cruz, CA

“I actually selected KDS from the Houzz website. Best decision ever! Kevin is very professional and was really able to bring our project to life, even better than I had envisioned it! He managed to squeeze in a good sized pantry, and here I thought I'd never get one! Kevin's website is very user friendly with a lot of before and after pics! He literally walked us through every step of the whole process helping and guiding us to make the right decisions and selections. Let me say this is a really tough and stressful process and ones always worries about making the wrong choice either in color, material or use of space. Kevin was always there to help guide us and the result is an area that we absolutely love and thoroughly enjoy!!! Kevin has a wonderful eye for color, use of space, and never tries to force his own taste on you but actually works with what you like and dislike! I can't recommend him highly enough. You'll be so happy to have him working for you! He's the best!!!!”

“I recently worked with Francisco and was so impressed!! He was super professional in his dealings, so competitive in pricing and timeline of delivery, and his attention to detail is impeccable. He came, did a thorough design review with myself and my interior designer, followed up to close out open questions, did several more follow ups, and then delivered the final designs in 3 weeks. I am so happy with my new kitchen island and TV cabinet, he was a true gem for the Bay Area”

“I first contacted Doolittle Design to build me a custom desk. I wanted a desk with a clean modern design that would fit in my home office. Troy, the designer, met with me to discuss what I was looking for. I told him that I was open to the design and materials but the dimensions would have to fit a certain space in my office. He looked at my height and measured the room. We discussed the proper height based on the use of the desk. He also discussed with me the different types of reclaimed wood he either had in stock or could get if necessary. Troy came back with an illustrated design of the desk along with a sample of the reclaimed wood he chose for it. This is where it became interesting. See, Troy just doesn’t work with any type of wood he works with wood that has stories. The wood chosen for my desk was made out of reclaimed, old-growth redwood from lumber salvaged from the Lindsay Olive Company in the California’s Central Valley. The tanks that were used for soaking the olives were made of this wood. It was beautiful after Troy cleaned up and finished it. We made some adjustments and Troy went off to build the desk. I have had this desk now for several months and could not be any happier. Having a beautiful custom piece of furniture that is very pragmatic in my office not only adds to the aesthetics but also enhances my creativity and well-being. I just love all the character in the reclaimed wood. The water stains in this material are so dramatic. I just haven't seen that in other new furniture before. I would definitely recommend Doolittle Design for any of your custom furniture needs.”

“Patty was great to work with. She helped me pick out what I wanted, walked me through the process so I knew exactly what to expect. Her prices were reasonable. And she's been great with follow up questions and maintenance as it happens. I've worked with her on 2 different occasions: my kitchen (big project) and master bath cabinets. I would highly recommend Signature Kitchen & Bath Design for your cabinet needs.”

“Always great woodwork. I first became familiar with Schmitz on a project for Cabrillo College. Great work, good pricing, creative approach to fine detailing.”

“I enjoy working with them on our new kitchen, they are very professional and understand our needs. I highly recommend them.”

“Everything is very good quality, and combined together perfectly. I worked with Valerie, and she's a great designer! She helped me pick what I needed, and did a good job designing my cabinets!”

“Laura has supplied the cabinets on some of our most successful projects, including my personal residence in San Francisco. Since Laura represents several different cabinet fabricators, she has the ability to accommodate virtually any stylistic, design, and budgetary requirement. She is a second generation kitchen designer, and virtually her entire family (including her contractor husband Mike) is in the residential remodeling business. Laura understands the importance of client service, and shares my own philosophy of building a business through an ever-growing base of satisfied clients. On my own home, Laura not only provided the cabinets, but improved upon my original layout, suggesting changes that enhanced the functionality of the kitchen and the overall look and feel. A critical detail where I wanted a panel-ready fridge to integrate with a pantry cabinet and a filler piece to hide a plumbing chase came together effortlessly with minimal heartache on my part. I have seen even custom cabinet shops struggle mightily to accomplish a similar result on my other projects where Laura was not involved. Laura personally supervises the delivery of all of her orders, and stands behind any factory mistakes or damage incurred by shipping. On my own house, she made multiple site visits to oversee installation and made sure the results came out as intended. Highest marks for Laura Moloney and Kitchens Galore; I look forward to collaborating with Laura on many projects in the years to come!”

“Ron was great to work with. He listened to what we wanted and also had great suggestions of his own. He is extremely meticulous and detailed. He has done two bathrooms and 2 sets of built-ins around our fireplace, and was on time. He is currently working on our kitchen. We were tight on space in one of the bathrooms and he modified the cabinets so they weren't as deep. They turned out great; Everyone comments on the quality and how spacious our bathroom is----little did they know we were counting inches.”

“Joe was the top choice when my mom did her kitchen remodel. The other cabinetry men that met with her were condescending, rude and downright unprofessional (telling her she did not know what she wanted, etc.). Joe was a breath of fresh air - he treated my mom with kindness, listened to her, and delivered beautiful cabinets (including adding personal touches where able). He even came back months later to address and issue and fixed it at no charge. When it came time to do my kitchen and bathroom (and a custom broom closet), Joe was the only person I called. He's a great partner and does awesome work!!!”
