5 stars in every way. Long read, here is a detailed review. We contacted Mike in mid 2021 for a major job. Very large kitchen in a historic San Francisco home. This was not a $20k or 30k job - it was much bigger. So we had to be absolutely sure of the craftsmanship, the customer service, and more. It had to be fully custom and absolutely world class quality to fit the quality of the home and kitchen remodel. Summary - they delivered beyond my absurdly high expectations. From the very start, my designer had a good feeling about Mike - he was very upfront and transparent, and his whole team was full of nice people. Shelly is very responsive and helpful even with the basic things - you can tell right away they care a lot about attention to detail and to customer service. We hired Mike over 5 others we considered, and he was the most expensive bid actually (not by too much, by about 5% more than the 2nd highest and about 10% more than the lowest). Hiring Dickinson Cabinetry proved to be one of the very best decisions we made in our 1 year long remodel. In the middle of supply chain issues and Covid, Mike was always honest about the timeline. It was a bit longer than I would have liked but that was no fault of Mike's - everything was delayed. But Mike was honest and helpful and level headed about it all. Then came the product and install date. Mike's team, led by Raul, came by for delivery right on time in the morning and let me just tell you - the QUALITY of these cabinets and the wood island is absolutely obvious. The craftsmanship is superb. If you know nothing about cabinets, even then it's obvious. That's the great thing about great things - everyone can tell it's great! Now here is where it starts to get really amazing. We had a few issues and changes requested. Joe was the man here - he was super helpful along with being such a nice guy. He never got annoyed at my small requests and it was clear Joe & Mike wanted my family to be 110% happy. Antonio came by to do touch up work and is a very patient and talented guy. He must have come back 4 times - each time with a smile on his face and endless patience to get it perfect as I wanted it. Antonio did a great job fixing up every little nook and cranny I needed help with - just an awesome job. Some other cabinet makers might make nice cabinets. The Hyatt has nice hotel rooms, too. Mike, Joe, Antonio, Raul, Shelly - they are like the Four Seasons. Every little detail is world class. I have enjoyed every conversation I have had with every member of this team because everyone is just so nice and customer focused and patient. Along with the cabinets being a work of art themselves oozing with quality. If you are considering Dickinson Cabinetry, my strong opinion is you would be making a big mistake if you picked another cabinet maker. Thank you so much Mike, Joe, Antonio, Raul, Shelly! read more

There are so many good things to write about Dickinson Cabinetry. Their work is absolutely beautiful and the cabinets they made are a work of incredible craftsmanship. They worked closely with us to achieve the exact color of stain we wanted for our red oak cabinets and had excellent suggestions for how to make kitchen more functional, as well as more beautiful. Our kitchen is definitely now a work of art! I would highly recommend Dickinson Cabinetry to anyone who would like to have beautiful cabinets built by an outstanding organization that truly cares about the quality of their work. Thank you Mike and Shelly and the fabulous craftsmen for making our dream for the kitchen come true. read more

I ordered a custom bookshelf at Dickinson Cabinetry last year. I loved how quickly they always responded me, and top of anything, the quality of the bookshelf they made! I ordered a bookshelf which fits the entire wall of my study and now every single guest who visits my house is wowed by its outcome. The owner, Michael was the first one who replied to my inquiry which I sent to five different companies through Yelp while some didn't reply after a week. When I visited his shop and factory, the carpenters were working very responsibly and all the products seemed beautiful and cared to their details. I also loved the receptionist, Shelly. She was always very precise and kind. Any questions were answered right away! After the whole bookshelf was installed, I wanted to add some more holes to adjust the height of each shelf. They sent a worker right away and the job was done as quickly as possible. No additional payment. No question asked. And for those who are doing remodeling the whole house, you will be surprise to find out that some companies aren't always responsible to what they once said. Delayed finish dates, additional costs, and no show up on the appointment dates. You don't need to worry about those things with Dickinson Cabinetry. You can have a good night sleep. read more

We needed a small vanity for our smallest bathroom, but the prefab cabinets were so tiny that they didn't maximize use of the limited space in our bathroom. So we contacted Dickinson Cabinetry for a custom cabinet. Truly customized. We got to choose the exact size, type of wood, stain, number of drawers, you name it. Mike was even willing to speak with our contractor to make sure the plumbing would all fit correctly too! We had this cabinet installed 2 years ago. This photo is from today. It still looks beautiful! read more

Requested a quote and initially they seemed to be interested. Who ever I was interacting with lost interest and never got back to me with an answer. I guess they thought I wasn't worth the money and I couldn't even get that response from them. Very unprofessional. Not worth it. read more

We hired Dickinson Cabinetry for our recent remodel. We came to know about them through our contractor JTK Builders. Our contractor assured Dickinson's quality and timing. Moreover, they have very good reviews on yelp and houzz as well. First, we started with kitchen cabinets but we added entertainment center cabinets, bath cabinets and laundry cabinets as well. The result is every single person visited our house compliment our cabinets. Mike the owner of Dickinson Cabinetry is a very warm, friendly and patient person who helps us achieve the dream cabinets that we aim. Mike's team Rob who takes care of staining and other cabinet related drawings is very professional and accurate in his job. Shelly who manages quotes, email communication is sweet, excellent and prompt. Dickinson Cabinetry maintain superior quality as well as great customer service. They reach their dead line prompt and they are willing to correct any issues we find. We didn't have an issue other than a broken cabinet door as some worker broke it accidentally. Dickinson cabinetry fixed it and sent the new one just in time before our house warming. They have a vast selection and choices of stains and colors moreover they can match any color. I have painted white cabinets and a beautiful grayish blue island stained by them. It's strange to find them to be very honest being in a business as they don't push us or try to sell more. They are very genuine people. We are very happy that we went with Dickinson Cabinetry and we highly recommend them. read more

There are so many good things to share about Dickinson Cabinetry. Their work is absolutely beautiful. The products I received were a work of quality craftsmen. They created all of my kitchen cabinets several years ago. Just a couple of months ago, they built a custom vanity for my master bathroom. The compliments I get on both the kitchen and bathroom cabinets never end. I can also comment on how well they hold up, since the kitchen cabinets were installed approx. 5 years ago. They really look pretty much brand new. Not one issue to report. The process of making decisions on design and color is challenging for me (and many people). Their service, suggestions, support and patience are endless. They truly go above and beyond to make sure their customers are happy. Another couple of points to make is that they completed both projects before the commitment date and stayed within budget. If fact, for the most recent bathroom project, I changed my mind on a couple of things after the initial quote, and they proactively adjusted the quote down. I didn't even have to ask about that. I recommend Dickinson Cabinetry to anyone who would like to have beautiful cabinets, built by an upstanding organization, who also happens to be local. read more

We got our custom kitchen cabinets from them. The typical 8-12 weeks wait time was definitely worth it. If looking for custom well made cabinets, I would strongly recommend them. Mike and hientire staff are very professional and take pride in their work. read more

It's a pity. I went here because of the great reviews. But basically,, they just told me to go away, that they didn't want to deal with anyone but contractors. I know I had a very small project, less than $1,000, but I still would have expected that I would have been treated with more respect and maybe a recommendation of to whom I might take my project. Their recommendation to me was, "Try one of those other shops out there", with a vague wave of the hand. read more

I am remodeling my master bath. I purchased a bath vanity and a tall mirrored cabinet. I sat down with Mike Dickinson, the owner and described the design I had in mind. He was so pleasant to work with and designed exactly what I wanted. The quality/ workmanship of the cabinetry is outstanding. The drawers/doors open/close perfectly. I've referred a few of my friends to Dickinson Cabinetry and they have been very pleased as well. read more

We got a quote from Mike Dickinson, and the quote came in similar to Home Depot (mid range) cabinets. If you have a chance to visit Dickinson's workshop, you will know what "custom" cabinet actually means! The finished product was immaculate!! Why would you pay for semi-custom cabinets when you can get custom cabinets? We wanted white cabinet kitchen, and not sure how many of you know this, painted white cabinets are actually harder to achieve than wood grain stained cabinets. We searched high and low with different vendors for cabinet maker other than Home Depot, and Dickinson cabinetry was one of the better one with a more reasonable pricing. The other plus for Dickinson cabinetry is that they are like a mom and pop store, so everytime you call, you get the man you want to talk to :) rather than some customer service person that you have to go around to get to the point. Becuase my cabinets are custom, I don't necessary have to go with the standard 12", 24" size. In my island, there are non-standard cabinet that are 9" and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg. Thank you Mike!! We absolutely love our cabinets!! read more

We just had our living room remodeled, and the contractor had Mike from Dickenson Cabinetry create our custom TV cabinet, along with the fireplace surround and bookcase. We are thrilled, it is exactly how we designed it, beautiful craftsmanship. read more

After sales services is even better Rob took care of anything that is not up my satisfaction. There are minor issues... but overall it is a solid 4.5 star! read more

If there is a heart to any house, it has to be the kitchen. It's where everything happens, the pulse of life flows in and out of this one room. When we started our remodel, we decided that we wanted our kitchen to be inviting, open and bright. It would need to be highly functional for both serious cooking but also serious entertaining. When we told our contractor, JTK Builders (go check out that review too) about our grand vision, he brought in Dickinson Cabinetry out of San Jose. We scoped out the kitchen very early in the process as Mike and his team need time to craft his lovely cabinets. Mike met with us to get a sense of how we'd use the kitchen; he thought through workflow, positioning of things like spice racks and counter work-space. He mocked up multiple versions of the kitchen plan for us until we found one that was ideal. The day of installation, his team showed up in a Dickinson truck, each cabinet gently wrapped in blankets for secure transport. His build material and quality is excellent; the materials were so solid it took 5 guys just to bring our island in! Once all was installed, all we could say was 'Wow'. The cabinets are well finished, durable, functional and absolutely stunning. One thing to also keep in mind when you are contemplating cabinets; with custom cabinetry, you are getting something tailor-made for your space; the fit and finish is going to be better than semi-custom and far better than box-store grade stuff. What's more, you can count on continuous post-sale service; touch ups, door adjustments, etc from the crew that built them. And before you balk at the price of custom cabinetry, think about this; these cabinets will be opened, closed, slid out, slid in, banged around over and over again every day for the better part of a lifetime; do you want junk in there? We could not be happier with Mike and his team at Dickinson Cabinetry. They have exceptional products with exceptional service at a very fair price. read more

Having a team who is great at what they do and know how to truely work collaboratively are key to successfully executing projects and achieving next level results. Mike and his team were true project partners. They listened to our ideas, provided alternate suggestions, were transparent about pros and cons and pulled last minute saves.

I had a great experience with mike and his crew. We did a major reonvation last year and these guys did our kitchen cabs plus several other built in pieces. Constrcution was top notch and prices very reasonable. Most important, when we had a couple issues with paint cracking, they were on the spot immediately, fixed everything, no,questions asked. This company is very professional. read more

I feel so fortunate that we were able to work with Dickinson Cabinets for our major kitchen overhaul. I am so happy that our contractor, Integrity Remodeling, introduced us to Mike. From the start, Mike was very prompt in his communications and worked with us on nailing our cabinet design. We had a custom paint request which he followed through with no problem. The cabinets were completed and delivered on time. His team also ensured that the final product was nothing less than perfect. We are blown away by our cabinets and their functionality. And for fully custom cabinets, the price was on point. We will have some bathroom remodels at some point, and I hope we get to use Dickinson Cabinets again. read more

Their cabinets are absolutely high quality but I had to give them less stars because their customer service is just plain nasty.

Mike designed, and built custom cabinetry for my kitchen remodel. Mike came up with a thoughtful and esthetically leasing design. The construction of doors and drawers, even the shelves and pullout trays is extremely solid, detailed-oriented and with an unbelievable precision. Even my contractor and countertop installer commented on how well these cabinets are built. During the design precess, I was second guessing myself, and changed my mind multiple times. Mike handled all my questions with grace, patience and absolute professionalism. After the installation of the cabinets, there are a couple of minor issues. Rob sent his crew over to my house almost immediately to resolve the issues. After the kitchen is complete, a crew came over as they said they would to adjust doors, touch up a few doors and drawers due to the inevitable nature of construction. The crew (Robert and Anthony ) did an amazing job making everything as good as it should be. The cabinets look absolutely stunning in my new kitchen. Dickinson Cabinetry is not the cheapest. But for the price I paid, and for the quality of cabinets and after sale service, and I will definitely use them again for my future home improvement projects. read more

The crew at Dickinson Cabinetry was able to help me with a cabinetry project. They were great about accommodating my schedule and we got the work done as specified. Thanks a million! read more

I made an appointment and went to Dickinson Cabinetry's showroom. Mike, the owner gave me a tour of his "lair". The cabinets were exquisite. He could interpret and understand my vision which made the decision to have him build my kitchen cabinets an easy one. He is a masterful custom cabinet builder. I was impressed on how he paid attention to detail, took pride in his work and wanted to make sure that I was a satisfied customer. The finishes on the cabinets are outstanding. I compare my new custom cabinets to being in a museum and looking like pieces of artwork. I can't recommend Mike and his crew enough. read more

I am SO delighted with the work that Dickinson's did for me! Had a smallish bedroom where furniture never quite fit right. Mike designed the space, and our walls of built-ins not only look amazing... But gave us a desk, media cubby, and loads of drawers with glides like butter! Very slick and very functional! Might have to nuke one each room in my house and turn Dickinson's loose to work their magic room-by-room! read more

I am so pleased with the cabinets I purchased from Dickinson Cabinetry. The quality is second to none. I am so glad there is still a cabinetmaker in CA that builds quality cabinets that are not only beautiful but sturdy enough to last. I met with Mike (the owner) and he is a man devoted to details. I had no idea how many things I would need to consider when ordering custom cabinets. Mike made it easy for me and delivered them on time as promised. I would not hesitate to recommend Dickinson Cabinetry to anyone doing a remodel. The cabinets are the best feature of my home now. read more

Dickinson Cabinetry is the best! They made cabinets for us in a large bar area with lots of storage. The quality and workmanship is amazing. I love the way the drawers glide.

We hired Mike to help us rebuild our kitchen. Our kitchen cabinetry's quality is really high which made our kitchen extremely beautiful. However, it was hard to work with Mike because we rarely would receive communication from him regarding the project progress or delivery date. It became a bit of a challenge. The only way we would know the progress was through our contractor. If you want high quality cabinets, I would recommend Mike. If you prefer to have someone to step-by-step walk you through your project, Mike may not be the best choice. read more

Amazing experience with Dickinson Cabinetry. Very professional, stellar customer service and they build the most BEAUTIFUL cabinets! Huge plus was that they were very transparent with their quote. Post construction follow up crew was just wonderful and they touched up the cabinets to perfection. Highly recommend. read more

I am so happy with Dickinson Cabinetry. Mike Dickinson did a perfect job designing our kitchen. With Dickinson, we were able to get the exact design we wanted, in the exact color we wanted, all for the same price as the higher end semi-custom shops. Dickinson was very responsive and after our contractor installed the cabinets, they did a final touch up and alignment to ensure that everything was perfect. Our contractor was also impressed with Dickinson's quality and ease of installation and plans on using them in future jobs. read more

Dickinson Cabinetry redid our kitchen and its great! The work was done in a timely fashion and the results exceeded our expectations.

We have referred them to friends who also have been delighted with their results. read more

We made an appointment to talk with Mike Dickinson for a vanity for our master bath remodel. We were very impressed with his shop and the fine workmanship that we observed in the cabinets he was crafting. His staff was pleasant and professional, and his prices were affordable. I would not hesitate to recommend Dickinson Cabinetry. read more

The best way to sum up our experience with Mike Dickinson and team is that he truly made our kitchen dreams come true and was a pleasure to work with in the process. We initially investigated several custom cabinet makers, and Mike stood out to us from the others right off the bat - we had a crazy idea to have a dining table that could extend (e.g. roll/slide out) from an island, but look sturdy and classy. Most of the other cabinet makers thought we were crazy (understandably), but Mike's first reaction was intrigue and excitement at the challenge. My husband and I were very impressed with the quality of his work as we toured their workshop, and we knew that he would be a great selection. Sure enough, it was a great choice. Throughout the plan development process, we really enjoyed working with Mike for his demeanor, vision and knowledge, opinion/honesty, and patience(!). We like organization and Mike helped us think through those components and many other considerations during the plan design phase so that we would know exactly what we were getting and how we would use the space on a day-to-day basis. In the end, Mike, Rob, and his team not only met but surpassed our expectations, even given our crazy ideas. We now have an absolutely gorgeous full custom cabinetry kitchen inclusive of an island with an expanding completely gorgeous planked walnut table. It feels like the highest quality job kitchen we've ever been in, and we know it would not have been possible had we worked with any other contractor. Should we need custom cabinetry in the future, we will look no further than Mike! read more
