My wife and I recently decided to redo our walk-in closet. Because of my engineering background I drew up the plans and searched multiple cabinet shops throughout Orange County only to find that none except for one could provide me with the finished cabinets I hoped to get. Having been a customer of his for as long as he has been in business I should have realized that no one can compare with the craftsmanship that goes into each job that he does. Thank you Jacques, Angel, and the rest of the crew. You did what no others would do and I am truly thankful for that.

It was the Best! Jacques, the owner of C. & M Cabinets, always gives you the Best results. He is a true craftsman. Jacques, and the men who work for him, are all the Best any homeowner could want. In 10 years Jacques and his men installed a new kitchen, and 3 new bathrooms in our home. From flooring, to plumbing, electrical, tile & counter tops and breathtaking cabinets (what Jacques makes & installs) and painting. Jacques enthusiasm and expertise is a joy to work with! His communication is great, always easy to get hold of. Jacques is always on time too. A rarity for contractors! He will help you design the project too if you wish. Jacques' workers are also punctual and friendly and they are total professionals and experts in their field.

Jacques and C & M Kitchen Cabinets did a fantastic job with my kitchen remodel. Jacques kept me updated each step of the way, his design was just what I wanted, his crew were respectful of my home and were professional. I wouldn't change a thing and am going to use Jacques for my 2 bathroom remodels without hesitation. I have recommended Jacques to friends who have also used C & M Kitchen Cabinets.

He was nice man. He treated his employee well. The measurement was right but the one cabinet was not wide enough. It was not centered on the sink. He did a good job in the pantry pull out drawers He still some adjustments to do.

Excellent, I highly recommend them for your kitchen remodel. Very responsive and excellent quality.

Had cabinets made for hallway and breakfast area in October 2020. From the initial phone call to the installation Jacques was very responsive, prompt and patient with us asking questions. Also his team did an excellent job installing and cleaning up after. Couldn't be happier.

Couldn’t have gone better . Jacques called within 24 hrs and set up appt to see job. Linen closet Area was unusual shape and required creative design to make it work. Design and estimate Provided within days. Work was high quality and finished when promised. Jacque and staff were friendly and followed CVD protocol. Floors were protected and left clean. I would definitely use C&M again!

Built-in shelving

Jacques Boulanger, the owner, is a very capable guy. He was able to do all that I asked of him and do it well. He removed an old oven and a kitchen cabinet above the old refrigerator (it was too tall for the new refrigerator to fit under it). He said it would be better to let him build a new cabinet rather than modify the old one. He came over punctually just before the new oven and refrigerator were delivered and had the old oven out in time to have the delivery guys take it away. He also removed the old kitchen cabinet before the delivery guys came so that they could roll in the new refrigerator when they got there. I had worried about coordinating all of this but Jacques had set the time aside to be available just when I needed him and I really appreciated that. He then modified the space for the new drop-in oven and then installed and connected it electrically. It fit well and worked correctly right away. I had wondered who would be able to make the space fit the new oven and who would be able to fix the problem with the kitchen cabinet that hung down too far for the new refrigerator. Both my problems were taken care of by Jacques with ease. He came back two weeks later with my new kitchen cabinet and quickly installed it above the new refrigerator. It matched the cabinets around it perfectly and left me plenty of room above the refrigerator so that the cabinet doors are able to open all the way. These new refrigerators have high bumps in the front of them rather than a flat hinge for the door so that kitchen cabinets doors above the fridge can't open all the way because of that high bump. Jacques is a very capable guy and is able to work out problems on the spot. Nothing seems to phase him, probably because he has over thirty years of experience in this business. He is a very straightforward and direct guy. He says what he means and he means what he says. He was very nice to work with and I highly recommend him. He had quoted me a fair price for removing the old cabinet and building and installing the new cabinet but we had never talked about what the charge would be to take out the old oven, adjusting the space for the new oven and installing it. This took quite a while for him and his assistant to do and I thought to myself "this is going to cost me a lot" but then it was worth it to me to have him and his expertise there when I needed him. When he asked if $300 was OK I said it was more than OK. That was such a good price for the effort and timeliness of what they did and I was so pleased that I gave him a tip to boot. All in all, what I had expected to be a really bothersome experience, Jacques turned into a good experience. Thank you!!

Jacques was great to work with and his knowledge and workmanship was excellent. He showed us various cabinet door catalogs to help with our decision, and he was totally willing to custom-mix the wood stain color we had in mind. His sub-contractors (plumbing, electrical, drywall, tile) were all very professional and clean and all had been working with Jacques for 10-15 years each. As for the budget, we had a dollar amount in mind, and his was in the right neighborhood. There were several add-ons we requested after the work began, which he accommodated without issue. Jacques responded to calls or texts very promptly. We were told each bathroom would take 5-7 weeks, and for the most part, that was true. There were minor delays here and there, and we did start the work late in the year near the holidays, but it all worked out fine. Like any job, especially on an old house, there are unforeseen costs that will come up which will take you over budget. This cannot be blamed on anyone. My only complaint would be that he could have communicated a little better on dates and times when workers would be showing up. We frequently found out the night before what would be happening the next day. But the end product was excellent and we are extremely happy. We will definitely hire C&M again for future remodeling projects. Description of work: Remodel guest bathroom: Remove vanity and toilet. Keep existing cast-iron tub.

Perfectly and all work completed in scheduled 3 weeks. Jacques worked with us on the design and provided useful input to help us make the correct decisions.

I contacted C and M to bid on my Kitchen remodel. In the end, I decided on another contractor, but my experience with Jacques was first rate. He was prompt, answered all my questions and actually gave me a better price then the contractor I ultimately went with. Since he is the single point of contact from bid to final install, I had a lot of confidence that I would not have any issues throughout the process. I think he also had the most flexibility in working details to cut expenses in areas where I did not want/need to pay for unnecessary "quality". The only thing that the selected contractor had was computer generated drawings and CNC manufacturing that provided a visual aid and confidence in knowing exactly what I was getting. They also lowered their price to match Jacques, but because I have to work with a separate contractor for demo and wall tile work their actual costs will be a little higher. The work is not yet completed, but I think I would have been just as satisfied with C and M and would have paid $1000 - $2000 less.

He completely gutted the kitchen, pantry and laundry room.  He raised a window and extended the counter 10 feet.   The time frame was quoted and completed as quoted even though our glass tile was held up on a container ship off shore for 2 weeks. 

 All new  wood cabinets with quartz countertops. Behind the quartz counter tops we have the glass tile backsplash 16 inches high and it is also behind the stove. He also made us a custom fit quartz top kitchen table.  He installed new dishwasher, washer and dryer new vent system over stove, new sink with Moen faucet that is motion activated. The floor is porcelain tile with the wood grain look.  It is perfect!

The painter, Joe Paine,  was fabulous as well.  We hired him to paint our living room.   

In the words of my Mom who is 93 years old and  has owned this house since 1954, " I never thought I would ever live long enough to see my kitchen this beautiful! I can hardly believe it!"

And it is truly beautiful!! 

We highly recommend C & M Kitchen Cabinets and all the subcontractors they used as well.

My reviews can sometimes be lengthy to fully detail all that is good, all that is bad, and everything in between.  This review, however, will be brief.  From our very first meeting with Jacques through to the end when every last detail had been attended to, Jacques and his team were simply the best.  Every step from concept to creation was conducted at the highest level of professionalism and with great attention to detail.  And to top it all off, Jacques' prices are extremely competitive and he is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
You'll truly wish Jacques did more than just kitchens and bathrooms!

We had 3 bids and felt Jacques was the contractor we felt most comfortable with. He listened to what we wanted and answered all of our questions and concerns. I am very detail oriented and Jacques took the time to work with us to get exactly what we wanted. We are very pleased with both the kitchen and the bathroom. He communicates extremely well and has the knowledge to do the job right.  His workman were on time and he was here to supervise them when it was necessary.  The workers were professional  and have worked with Jacques over an extended period. Jacques is very hands on and when there is  a problem, he responds rapidly and takes care of it. He fabricates high quality cabinets at his shop and provided us with several cabinet door samples and stains to choose from.He does not hold your hand and help you select the granite or tile colors. If you feel you need this service, you may want to consider this fact. He does purchase the products you have selected so you do get the contractors's discount price. If you bring home samples, he will also offer his professional opinion if you ask for it. We will definitely hire C & M again when we remodel our master bath.

We wanted to get new cabinets, enlarge the island area, new quartz counter tops, built in microwave, beverage cooler, new farmers kitchen fire clay sink and also wanted to increase floor space. I interviewed 3 A rated contractor and ask all to quote a complete remodel of the kitchen. All had good ideas but Jacques suggested moving the refrigerator to the side wall and going with new counter depth appliances which turned out to be an excellent call. I hated getting rid of my old 36" commercial Wolf stove but by doing so we gained 8 more inches of floor space. The counter depth refrigerator was a good call too. The look is very "built-in" and polished. Jacques and his team are real professionals. The end result is beautiful. We had a few mid stream changes and Jacques handle all very well with reasonable price adders. He met his schedule of 4-5 weeks from start of demo to completion, but there was a fair amount of no work days waiting for various contractors to do their part. Price was middle of the pack but very glad I didn't go low bid and paid more for C&M. The wife couldn't be happier.

Very well

We just had our kitchen updated with new custom cabinets by Jacques Boulianger at C&M. We could not be happier and highly recommend him to others. 
We got four other estimates from reviews on Yelp and Angie's List and not only was Jacques' quote significantly less expensive, but based upon the conversations we had, we could tell he knew what he was doing. He worked with us and asked all the questions - even some we were not thinking of - and installation was quicker than anticipated. It took an extra half day over the one-day installation schedule as our concrete floors are a bit uneven. He spent a lot of time making sure each cabinet was perfectly level.  
Jacques is involved in the entire process from the planning stages to the construction of the cabinets in his workshop behind his showroom to being there during the installation. We even had a few hiccups (gas line and electrical outlets needed to be moved ) but these were not a concern to him and he took care of it during installation for no additional cost.
However, one of the most impressive aspects about Jacques is his quick and constant communication. When he made a plan he stuck with it from construction to installation. He responded to all our phone calls and emails quickly. He ended up needing to postpone our installation by two days and called us the week prior to apologize and work with our schedule. We had a lot of trust and really like his professionalism and character.
Again, do research, get some estimates, have a plan in mind, but definitely consider C&M. I hope you, like us, end up with a locally hand-crafted kitchen that will exceed your expectations.

EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL WITH THE FINEST QUALITY PRODUCT. WE WOULD RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE WANTING A FIRST CLASS JOB ON A KITCHEN RENOVATION
