We used Cabinets Etc in four different kitchen remodels. We worked with Brian who always gave us excellent suggestions.

I have used Cabinets etc. for most of my many kitchen remodels and here is why: Keith, who is the owner personally measures everything before ordering, Keith has many suppliers to choose from which is enough to cover almost any anything, Keith knows what all the options are for hardware and can tell immediately if there is room for those pull outs for example. I believe that when you find someone who consistently comes through when needed that you should stick with them and I have found that this is Keith at Cabinets etc. Thank you, Andy Frasheski

I contacted Keith because there were problems with some kitchen cabinet doors in our kitchen. Somehow they had water damage and the paint was coming off . Keith was wonderful. We needed eight replacement doors. But it turned out that the manufacturer was discontinuing that particular color within a few days. We didn't know that, of course. Keith expedited everything to make sure we got the order in just under the wire. Keith's pricing was very fair. The doors were delivered on time as we had been expecting. I definitely recommend Keith as being responsive, professional, and really committed to making sure we could get what we wanted in just a few days time. He made it easy to work with him. Thanks, Keith!

Make an appointment. You will get zero service and ignored for 30+ minutes without one - only to then be told you can't be helped. Wouldn't have been an issue at all if anyone had told me before they watched me walk around waiting the entire time. I wouldn't have minded if he told me RIGHT away. But nope....

After going to cabinets etc talking to Keith was a truly enlightening experience. We didn't end up using cabinents etc, as they didn't have the brand we were looking for, but I'd highly recommend calling or visiting them. They had a ton of expertise, and were really helpful, I wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future.

Summary: friendly, knowledgeable and good value; absolute pleasure working with Brian on a kitchen remodel.I helped my mother in law with a major kitchen remodel last year and got lots of cabinet quotes, recognizing that the cabinets were going to be the major material cost. After getting high-end quotes from custom carpentry to higher end brand names, I made an appointment here, since I drive by the showroom in Castro Valley often, but had no expectations on what I would find. We met with Brian Martinelli, bringing a rough sketch of the existing layout, and explained what we were hoping to achieve by reconfiguring the peninsula to a center island. Brian understood our vision immediately and whipped up a digital layout within minutes. When we explained that we were hoping to save on costs, he was absolutely understanding and recommended the Waypoint line (assembled & painted in Arizona), which was a good fit for our budget and quality expectations. Though Waypoint has fewer color and design options, they had what we were looking for at a better price. He was able to leverage a few seasonal specials to save us some money, and we walked out the door about an hour later with a realistic quote and a strong feeling that we had found our kitchen cabinets.Brian came out not long after that to take final measurements and put together a final layout draft. We were happy with the factory-provided color choices for our cabinets and moved forward. At the time, I had been planning to hire out subcontractors for the labor & installation but changed my mind and was able to get some great general contractor recommendations from Brian. He gave us a handful of names he worked with often in the area, and we were really glad he connected us with our eventual general contractor, who was a joy to work with. We did run into a hiccup with one incorrect cabinet size, but I was able to get a hold of Brian over the phone immediately, and he confirmed that this was a mistake on the part of the factory, who sent over the wrong size. He put in a rush order for that last cabinet to arrive, and he kept in constant contact to update us as we waited on the final piece. Brian also helped us about a month later to order some additional molding in the same color as the gray island to finish off the flooring, communicating promptly over email.Overall, a year later, we're very happy with the quality of the cabinets for the price. We have no regrets about the cabinet line, color, layout that we went with. Brian gave valuable input regarding the layout of drawers and organization that we appreciated. Planning to return when we have another project!

They have a good selection of American made cabinets. Brian did a great job in helping us choose the right brand for us, guide us on design and layout of our kitchen, and most importantly continues to provide us with service in regards to service and questions on our new cabinets. They have decades of experience that was fruitful in helping us with our layout. Worth the drive from anywhere in Bay Area and they made a house call to review measurements and layout.

These guys are the best! Wouldn't do cabinet remodeling without them. They know how to get excellent deals and the share info in best practices when designing a kitchen or bath. We did our kitchen with them two years ago and are just gearing up to do a bath this year.

We just finished a project that included replacing old kitchen cabinets and countertops. Brian Martinelli helped us not only select new kitchen cabinets, but also described to us the whole process in detail, as well as suggested how to make it as short and painless as possible. Since we were new to the process, this was extremely helpful! Brian patiently spent hours with us while we changed our selection a few times. He recommended a solution that not only worked perfectly for us, but also saved us money. Brian also referred us to a great construction company. It was a great pleasure working with Brian, since he is a knowledgeable professional and a very pleasant person. We would not hesitate recommending him to anyone!

We had a flood in our house and therefore became accidental remodelers. After checking out a couple of places, we called Cabinets Etc. after a friend from work recommended them. I met with Keith, who was fantastic. He was polite, very knowledgeable, and very helpful. He personally came out to the house to take measurements and then created a design. Because insurance was paying for the remodel, I had to get a couple of quotes. Keith's pricing was very fair and was actually less than that of a big box store. He answered all questions and was super supportive throughout the process. We love our new kitchen. I absolutely recommend this wonderful family owned business.

What a great family owned company. Brian is very helpful with the ordering process and the quality of the cabinets are superb. We ordered a vanity from them, it came earlier than expected and within 5 business days! Right size and configuration. They were also very quick to answer any questions. Price also very reasonable for the quality.

Brian Martinelli of Cabinets Etc is an absolute gem of a person. He is very knowledgeable about the Cabinets - the different brand names. We first tried with Waypoint and then we thought we will also check Diamond Cabinets. He redesigned every thing without charging anything for that. Other contractors were going to charge us $250 or more. He spent a lot of time with us even before we placed the order. During our Kitchen remodel, my wife called him every week (sometimes more often) with questions and he always answered them (some of them were not related to the cabinets). They were in construction business before, so they can give you a lot of information about the related aspects of the kitchen. He also saved us a lot of money by finding the special promotions from the cabinet manufacturer and got us $400 gift card from the manufacturer. In future, He will be the only person we will talk to for any cabinet needs. Thanks Brian for all your help.

There is no better service anywhere! And I looked around. Keith is detail-oriented and can advise you based on his many years of experience. They sell high quality cabinets that will last and work with your contractor to make sure everything is right! We bought inset cabinets for a complete remodel of our 1920's kitchen.
