If you want to work with someone who gives you two foot deep cabinets with no pullouts for your pots and pans, and wastes four long cabinets with sixteen pullout spice racks ( who on earth needs room for five thousand spices - and my partner is a chef!) - then Amin is your man! At this very moment I am paying for someone to cut out a shelve he built that prevents us from putting the electrical plates back on. I call Amin, tell him he built over them, he says it's my fault for not measuring correctly. Who knew I was supposed to be an expert at measuring for built-ins? I sure wish I had watched him like a hawk because the cabinets are now so high, my housekeeper can't reach the second shelf to put cups away. I assumed he would keep the same height as the old ones. He knows I'm only 5'5" . When I hesitated on his final payment, this man became monstrous, harassing me. And he never did fix any of the problems I have. All my complaints were answered with "you signed off on it," referring to diagrams no layman could possibly read. Or sketches with measurements i didn't realize that i should have measured myself, instead of trusting the expert. He took responsibility for nothing, and wants thousands of dollars more to fix his mistakes - won't even pull out the useless spice racks without charging me. Other than that...nice work, but definitely not worth it. read more

When I was looking for a contractor to remodel our kitchen I didn't know what to expect, but after meeting with Sam at CKG I knew that I wanted them to do the work. Initially, Sam came to our home and took the measurements for the kitchen and he told us to come to his store the following Saturday and he would have a 3D image of the kitchen prepared for us and we could pick out the materials. We were so impressed with the design that we decided to go ahead with the project on the spot. Sam is very easy-going and he kept us informed of every phase of the process. The crew at CKG was also very professional and they answered all of our questions and concerns until the job was completed. We are very happy with the final result and we highly recommend California Kitchen Gallery for all your kitchen and home remodeling needs. read more

Sam and his crew did a fantastic job remodeling my kitchen. They kept my place clean, were professional, and offered the best price for the project. I've heard horror stories of home remodeling projects, but Sam made this project as stress less as possible. Even when unexpected issues came up with the original floor being more difficult to remove and walls not matching up, Sam kept his cool and instantly devised a new plan to complete my dream kitchen. I definitely recommend California Kitchen Gallery. read more

Our overall experience with California Kitchen Gallery was an amazing journey. We practically had a complete remodel of our home, first being our kitchen, guest bathroom, new flooring in all rooms, recess lighting in all rooms, stairs, and painting in each room. I tell you if we could have moved out and moved back in, we would of, so this process could go faster and smoother. However, though many hiccups and unforeseen issues we encountered, Sam was willing to work with us to the end. As a matter of fact, this job was completed at the end of May, 2015, he is still working with us to ensure that this project is complete and that we are satisfied. Sam saved us a ton of money in this complete remodel. We are overall happy with our new remodeled home, in particular our fabulous kitchen and solid wood steps. We are glad we decided to use California Kitchen Gallery. Cheers to Sam and the California Kitchen Gallery!! read more

Sam and his team recently completed a kitchen renovation for me and I couldn't possibly be happier. Sam's demeanor is very chill so he's a pleasure to deal with. Every step was completed within estimated time lines- some even ahead of schedule. Sam's crews were always on time, very professional and flexible when I changed my mind about something or had an additional request. Most importantly, my new kitchen is more beautiful than I had even imagined. I will do my research before choosing new flooring next time, but the quality and beauty of the materials Sam uses are undeniable. I would highly recommend California Kitchen Gallery for anyone looking to do a kitchen upgrade. read more

The Holy Grail of every kitchen reno is that it look "custom made." What does that exactly mean? Well, for one thing it is the difference between a $35,000 kitchen makeover and one that costs in the range of $65,000 upwards to $100,000 and beyond. We chose Sam at CKG in Sherman Oaks to manage and design our new kitchen because he came in with the most audacious design (wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling cabinets anyone??) at a reasonable mid-range price. His kitchens are "semi-custom", meaning he uses prefabricated, machine tooled cabinets and drawers with a variety of finishes you choose from his densely-packed showroom on Van Nuys Blvd. just off Ventura Blvd. Sam is a one-man band. He designs and then executes his design as your general contractor. My husband and I found comfort in that one man would oversee and be accountable for implementing the design, thus limiting the possibility of finger pointing if something should go wrong (which invariably and unavoidably it will). Indeed, there were "issues" that did come up but more critically Sam stayed true to the process and addressed the problems as they reared their ugly heads in good faith and resolved the problems without ever compromising the integrity of the end product. The end result is a truly gorgeous, highly functional kitchen that we love, that truly appears to be custom-made, and, in the one year since we've been cooking in the kitchen for ourselves and our one-year old son, has held up to the high bar that this fledgling chef demanded. (If you are interested, feel free to contact me and I will be happy to fill you in on the details and act as a much-deserved positive referral for Sam.) read more

We had a very good experience using California Kitchen Gallery to do a complete remodel of our Kitchen for us. Sam the owner knew just when to step in during the design process with great suggestions and he also knew when and how to step back giving us the opportunity to make our own choices. I must have changed my mind a dozen times and Sam never blinked an eye. Sam has a lot of expertise and is also a really nice and patient person to deal with. The tear down and rebuild went quickly and the crew was knowledgeable, polite and resourceful. I was looking for someone to take care of the whole project as both my husband and I work and I am very happy with my choice. I highly recommend California Kitchen Gallery to anyone considering a remodel. We absolutely LOVE our new kitchen!! read more

We did a complete kitchen remodel a few months ago. Sam not only gave us the most competitive quote but he was also the easiest personality to deal with. His calm and positive demeanor made the entire experience a great one because boy was it a major project. We completely gutted our kitchen and tore down some walls. We opened up our floor plan. This was not just some cosmetic work. All of this while we lived in our house. Sam's team was also helpful and nice. My wife and I left for work every day and left Sam's team alone in our house for a full month. We just knew we could trust them. I highly recommend California Kitchen Gallery. read more
