Having hosted the HGTV program “My House is Your House”, we’ve worked with and vetted many cabinet builders across San Diego and Southern California. I cannot understate enough how much of a mistake it was to choose Mr Cabinet Care for our kitchen cabinets on an Encinitas project. We are extremely disappointed with our experience with Mr Cabinet Care. We arranged & purchased custom cabinet drawer fronts that were supposed to be high-quality, but they arrived with noticeable gaps. the gaps were problematic for two reasons: 1. for the drawers / doors that closed incorrectly and 2. for being prone to collecting food debris (and unable to clean or remove that debris). When I contacted the company about this clear defect (the food /gap error), they completely dismissed my concerns, blaming “care and maintenance” instead of acknowledging the poor workmanship. Even worse, they provided doctored photos in an attempt to shift the blame, falsely suggesting that residue such as gum or putty had been left on the drawers. Not only was this completely untrue—no such residue existed in any of the photos we originally provided, nor in any additional photos we took. Falsifying evidence to avoid responsibility is not just dishonest; it’s unethical and gives us even greater concern over other claims they’ve made in workmanship or materials. The operations manager even said “The material you selected, White Oak Select, is naturally prone to expansion and contraction due to environmental factors such as heat and humidity. Upon reviewing the photos taken by the technician, it appears that the issues you are experiencing are likely related to care and maintenance, rather than any manufacturing defect.” These were installed weeks prior to our notice, not years later, and during a cool weather season. To claim extreme weather (like heat & humidity) in San diego is laughable and outrageous. Under California law, products like these are covered by warranties ensuring they are fit for their intended purpose. These drawer fronts clearly do not meet that standard, yet the company refused to honor its obligations. Instead of standing behind their product, they chose to manipulate the situation to avoid accountability. Beware if you work with them and have future warranty issues, youre going to likely run into similar defenses and accusations. I would strongly caution anyone considering doing business with this company. If they are willing to misrepresent facts and dismiss valid concerns, I can only imagine how they handle other customer complaints. We regret this purchase for our client and would never recommend them to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship or honest customer service. We will not be using them for any future HGTV projects nor recommending them to other clients or customers

This is our 2nd time using mrCC.We had cabinets refaced and new countertops in 2007 and we were very satisfied. The job this time isn’t finished yet but, kitchen cabinets are finished. Our cabinet installer/refacer David was exceptional. On time,very pleasant and his craftsmanship was superior. He listened and solved any problems or concerns we had right away. I highly recommend him (and mr cabinets)for kitchen remodel. All the team and office workers are great. I can’t wait to see finished job but, I wanted to give a comment on progress thus far.

We recently had our kitchen cabinets and counter tops, and master bathroom cabinets and counter tops redone by Mr. Cabinet Care, and we couldn’t be more pleased. I was impressed in so many ways. The sales person Rick Cole who met with us and wrote up the estimate impressed me with his knowledge and experience. He also gave us a preliminary timeline that fit with our schedule. Rick was no pressure, and he explained all of our options. He was very pleasant to deal with. The person who did the demolition arrived right on time, and completed the demolition of the old cabinets and counter tops in an efficient manner. He covered our floor to protect it, and he hung plastic drapes to reduce dust. He was very careful not to harm anything he wasn’t working on. Next Marco and Tony arrived on schedule and did an absolutely fantastic job installing all the new cabinets. They were also extremely careful not to cause any damage to the rest of the house. They were also very respectful of our home, our property, and us. Tony even did a little extra work for us with some of his leftover materials. After the cabinets were complete, Ramon and Cristian arrived on time and placed the quartz counter tops and back splash. They also did great job. Abel completed the project by doing the plumbing and electrical work that needed to be done. Every single person we worked with at Mr. Cabinet Care was easy to deal with, arrived on time, and was very professional and courteous. Everyone kept to the schedule we were given before the project started, and there were no surprise along the way. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations. The fit and finish of the cabinets and counter tops is perfect. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Cabinet Care to my friends and family. Thanks guys for a job well done. We love our new kitchen.

Summary: Good to Excellent overall combination of price, quality, schedule, professionalism, confidence (minimal surprises) and warrenty. If you are looking to maximize across all these attributes, Mr Cabinet Care (MCC) will come near the top of your list. I am very happy with the end result. Details: Price - If price is your highest valued attribute you will be able to find other less expensive contractors and probably get about the same quality. I had solicited 3 bids and MCC was the highest. They lowered their bid to win my job, but in order to do so I had to get a separate contractor to do the demo, haul away, installation of new appliances and backsplash. The contractor was recommended by the MCC and was very good, but the MCC business process requires me to work with a separate sales person, engineering (makes final measurements), installation tech and contractor. Although they do assign a project rep I never her; communicating by phone and only to pass comments/directions or scheduling info. As such working with multiple people between sales, final measurement, installation and contractor resulted in a mis-communication that resulted in extra cost to me (hence the "C" grade - would have been a "B"). Schedule- The overall duration from demo to final inspection was a little over 5 weeks. The actual in-home labor time was 10-12 days so there is a lot of down time in between. Other contractors were quoting 4-6 weeks so this looks about average. That said, with as much business as MCC does there is a lot of room for reducing the down time and shortening schedule. I would prefer to wait before start but have everything staged so that the actual demo thru completion schedule is reduced. Confidence, Professionalism and Warrenty - This is what brought the MCC to the top of my list. Every person I worked with including the contractor recommended by them was courteous, prompt and professional. I wanted to be confident that my overall project would end up being my dream kitchen within cost, quality and schedule. There was a cost upper that I was not happy about but it was relatively minor in relationship to the overal cost. In the end I do have my dream kitchen. Very happy with the end result.

I would definitely re-hire them in the future for any type of cabinet or tile work. The kitchen turned out very nicely. However, I would not have them do any plumbing. We had quite a few problems with them regarding plumbing. Wish I had used our own plumber, even if it cost a bit more and took more time because of scheduling.

Contacted this individual for some minor work around the house 15 days ago, included photos of the work that was necessary, heard absolutely no response.

All work was complete in a timely manner. All workers were friendly, competent and clean. I picked out every piece, but had no idea it would be so beautiful as it finished. I love it all.

The designer (Jamie) did a fantastic job helping me select just the right cabinet and counter top combination! The cabinets are very sturdy and beautiful. Fausto made sure I was satisfied with the final product.

OK so...... Where do I begin? WE ARE SOOOOOO happy with the finished product!!!!! Some of my clients over the past several years have used Mr. Cabinet Care for refacing their kitchens and I was really impressed ! ( I do interior design) Rick Cole was the person that came out to give the estimate for our reface and we were really impressed with his ideas,his knowledge of the product and his professionalism. He didn't have exactly the door style in the color that I wanted so he went above and beyond to contact another rep and brought me a sample door at 9pm!!! We signed the contract that night! ( that never happens in my house). Robert was the gentleman that came out to measure everything and he was nice,on time and professional as well. The girls at the customer service were nice and efficient also. It seemed as if they had a smile on their faces when they called. We planned on going with wood doors but ended up choosing the Thermofoil instead. You would never know the difference even touching them! We are super happy! We were told the timeline in which to expect a call telling us when someone was going to come out and measure and then later another call to let us know that our cabinets were going to be ready for an install date. They called a couple of days earlier than expected and started exactly as stated. We were told the reface would take 6 work days and it only took 4!!! THAT NEVER HAPPENS!!! We were so surprised at the level of workmanship and professionalism of the two people that came to install. The team was Sharon and Leon Bickett. They were awesome!!!!! They showed up on time everyday and cleaned up like nothing happened every afternoon! They started early each day and were done in the afternoon, which allowed us use of our kitchen each night! ( I expected all the appliances to be completely removed and they weren't except for during the day ) Sharon and Leon were also sooooo nice and easy to work with. They were very respectful of our home, it didn't feel obtrusive to have them there. My husband works from home and it was manageable with all the work going on. Sharon talked me off the ledge when I was having a mini dilemma over hardware issues that I couldn't make up my mind on. She was patient and helped make my decision. So patient:). Overall we couldn't be happier with the kitchen! I highly recommend Mr Cabinet Care! I'm going to try to post a before and after picture but I'm not too tech savvy:/

I purchased the 3D rendering for $49. I was requested to input 3 available days for personnel to come to my home and complete a rendering for my kitchen and have not yet been contacted my the seller.

Liked the quality of the cabinets, quartz, tile and the men who did the work were very professional.

The first words that come to mind about Mr. Cabinet Care Refacing Service are Honesty & Quality

Everything was totally professional, from beginning to end. Martin, the guy who installed the cabinets, does amazing work!

The service was very professional and the follow thru consistent. I was very impressed with the number of associates on your team that contacted me to be sure all was going well and assure me they were there for me. The outcome is fabulous! I am very happy with the project. Thanks Elizabeth

The company does not care after sales process done at all. The magerment was wrong found last minuet to install. The guy came for final measurement, number mixed up couldn't find out when I sign the contract. Ofcourse I didn't do measurement, I have to trust the guy who did it. Some how he mixed up the number he measured. Once I sign the contract they don't take care, even the guy who measure running away. I was so disappointed the service. The sales person even ask me more money to change, I can't believe it. !!!!! That is Mr. Cabinet care
