It was great working with Cliff and both his shop and onsite crews. All of them were prompt, responsive, and kept the work areas onsite as clean as they could. They coordinated very well with the general contractor and other subcontractors, as we were concurrently having a major renovation done, the new kitchen just being a part of it. Cliff was great at offering design suggestions, providing diagrams and explaining costs of wood/door types and styles. He was even willing to use cabinet hardware we ordered on our own, and a door style from a company whose catalog he didn't have: just gave him samples and specs, and worked things out correctly. Both he and Jason (Jay? he was the onsite foreman) patiently explained how to adjust the drawers and doors, too. I would highly recommend this company for anyone seeking cabinetry or other woodwork jobs. As mentioned above, he was even willing to do a small job for us by providing cherry wood shelving for our bookshelf system. Advice addendum: We learned from both Cliff and some of our kitchen-savvy friends that instead of installing rollout drawers inside of undercounter cabinets, just install pot drawers there instead. Pot drawers are much more stable, easier to use, and more space efficient.
Description of Work: California Casework designed and installed our kitchen cabinets during a major renovation in December 2009 through January 2010 (about $15,400). We enjoyed their work so much that we hired them again in March 2011 to make some bookshelves (about $800). We wanted plywood rather than particle board (MDF) casework for the cabinets, but wasn't sure if it'd be in our price range as other cabinet makers quoted much higher for the difference. However, the owner Cliff Scott said that for him there would be no difference in costs, which was a boon for us to get what we wanted. Note that this was back in 2009, so materials' costs might have changed — but it cannot hurt to ask anyway.
