Vic was recommended by my structural engineer, Efe from 4x Engineering. We removed some walls and the old kitchen to provide for an open concept and new kitchen with custom cabinets. In addition, Vic turned one of our smaller bedrooms into a large closet room, built our master bathroom vanity, and turned our master bedroom closet into an entertainment center while still provided tons of storage. Their shop doesn't have a huge showroom, but you can see all the projects they are working on. Vic is very easy to talk to, and recommended many options and ideas from what we provided him. He has brochures of different styles of cabinets and hardware, but most importantly, most of the style cabinet doors are hanging on the wall. If you are looking for something more specific, no doubt he has some project in the wood shop that may interest you, and he will happily bring you out back to check it out. I thought cabinets were very simple and quick, well, I'm sure they can be. But his team made the time and many visits from planning to finish. It's not just a one day thing. They made sure throughout the installation and process that we were satisfied. If something was off, they went back to the shop to correct the problem. KITCHEN: The primary reasons we went with custom cabinets were custom space, custom designs, and custom stains. I liked the shaker style cabinet doors, but they were so common. Vic showed me, if I recall correctly, Iceland style trim, which is similar to shaker but adds and extra groove. As you can see in the pictures, I believe it makes a huge difference with this little detail. Also, we let Vic know several stains we were interested in, and he takes the exact wood, White Oak for us, and stains it on there so you can take home and choose what is best. We did 3 rounds of 3 each for a total of 9 stains until we were happy. Here are some details of our kitchen: - Large island with Gas range/oven, storage on seating side, slide-out pot and pan drawers - Replaced old wall pantry with matching cabinetry - Upper cabinet with frosted glass (he has many types of glass to choose from) - Custom trash bin drawer with cutout for sink drain pipe cutting through at an angle - Corner carousel cabinet - All soft close hardware CLOSET ROOM: We used cheaper wood, but forgot what type, since we were on a budget and put most of it into the kitchen. With the space, we only needed the maximum shoe and clothes storage taking up the least amount of space, therefore no doors. MASTER BEDROOM: Both the sink vanity and entertainment console used matching Bamboo. The sink vanity has a custom drawer that has a cutout for a center sink drain. The entertainment console was measured for the TV mount and TV size, and the side cabinets were made to utilize the space behind the walls of the previous pocket closet. Overall, I highly recommend Fernandez Brothers for your custom cabinet needs. Obviously they will be more pricey than your standard Ikea cabinets, but you'll get exactly what you want with awesome quality! read more

Called after hours and Vic answered the phone. I was prepared to leave him a message. I explained my problem with a cabinet repair, he asked me to send a picture for which I did. He said, no problem I can fix this. He was busy but made time to stop by and fix my cabinet on the next business day. He called me prior to arrival as I requested and arrived at the time he promised. He was professional and did the job in 5 minutes as he said he could. Excellent to do business with. I highly recommend Fernandez Brothers Cabinets! read more

I read the reviews on yelp and thought I would have Fernandez Brothers update my cabinet doors. I was hopeful until the project went awry. My project was to demolish old pantry and install pantry cabinet with shelves and drawers, replace kitchen cabinet doors, add few extra panels and repaint the cabinets. The job was to be a 2 day job and take place March 23-24. They didn't show up on March 23 nor did they call to explain why they didn't show up. After numerous calls to the project manager, they showed up at 11am on March 24. The project took 4 days and required another day a few weeks later to correct all the issues. Here is what went wrong: 1) Demo - was to remove screws and nail scratching pocket door. Project lead didn't tell crew or write it down so it didn't get done. 2) Paint cracked above the oven where they used putty to smooth the joint. 3) The counter cabinet door and panels were installed at the wrong height. There was an 1/4 inch gap exposed on the cabinet door. 4) when installing one of the panels, the screw went through the panel surface. It was poorly repaired and paint blemish was obvious. 5) Bottom cabinet drawer sides were too small. They made a new drawer but depth was too long. They took all the old drawers and were to match the sizes. 6) During the installation, they mis-drilled the holes for handles, use a dull drill but and splintered the wood in 16 drawers, which is almost all the drawers. 7) Not too impressed with the plywood used. Splinters too easy and required putty to fill pieces that fell out during cutting. They finally came back to fix the issues on 4/17. Took 3 guys the 6 hours to fix. Not pleased we had to take vacation time to resolve the issues. It was a big issue for the family as we had to live out of boxes for several weeks instead of a few days as promised. read more

Wow, what an amazing job the team did! We had them complete a built-in bench with drawers, a cabinet above our fridge and a new garbage pull-out. Their work was superior and matched my current cabinets great! Shadi, the project manager, was so friendly and accommodating. They are busy but well worth the wait to squeeze you in. And very reasonable compared to other bids I received. Highly recommend them! read more

I've known Vic for 5 years now. As a developer/builder, I've hired him to build my cabinets/vanities every time I build a new home, or do an addition remodel. The quality of his cabinets are truly breath taking. He uses top of the line plywood, cabinet doors and hardware. Also, his workmanship is second to none. Every I finish a new home and list it on the market, the cabinets are my top selling point. I highly recommend him if you want cabinets with superb quality and functionality. read more

Vic was recommended to me by my contractor and was very easy to work with. We met and I told him my ideas, as well as showing him some pictures from Houzz. He was able to duplicate exactly what I had wanted. In my remodel, I used some of my existing cabinets and Vic was able to match my old cabinets exactly for the new wet bar and cabinet above the fridge.They also created a wet bar for the master bedroom and made the mirror frame above my vanity to match. The quality of work is amazing. I did struggle a little to get them to give me an exact install date, but I think that was due to the volume of work they had at the time. It may have taken a little longer than expected, but I am very pleased with the results. read more

Updated from 1 to 3 stars- Vic did send out some guys to address the paint peel issue very quickly. We were pleasantly surprised since we had experienced some frustrating communications issues during the install process. After the repaint, we can still see where the paint peeled, but I doubt anyone who hadn't seen it before the repaint would notice. Vic's paint guys are very talented and we are pleased with the outcome- for now. I left a 3 instead of a 4 only because our confidence is a little lost in the product. It feels like we will have to keep an eye on the paint for months to come to make sure we don't have more peeling. read more

Last year my husband and I underwent a whole-house remodel. The yearlong process was filled with much of the stress you'd expect with a project of that magnitude but was made so much easier because of the truly wonderful people we worked with. High on the "wonderful list" is where I place Fernandez Brothers. I can't say enough about them. Vic Fernandez has a great eye for design, is patient and is just plain fun to work with. The work they did is beautiful and high quality. Vic was especially great at helping me think through how I wanted to use my kitchen so that we could incorporate all of the bells and whistles that now, one year after moving back into our house, I am enormously grateful for. None of these improvements were pricey but they are priceless to someone who, like me, really puts a kitchen through its paces. In addition to creating our dream kitchen, they created cabinets for our master bath, 3 other bathrooms, a media center, a mantle and [my husband's favorite] a custom wine room. To sum it up, these guys are true professionals who deliver quality custom results at really fair prices. I {heart} Fernandez Brothers! read more

Cabinets promised for first week of August, still not correct on October 9. They do not answer phone calls or emails from existing customers. If you call using a new phone number, they will answer. We supplied designs (drawings of plan and elevation), measurements, three on-site consultations with our general contractor. This cabinetmaker changed color, orientation, and design without contacting us. Some cabinets have been in and out three times, still not correct. They will not follow directions. We supplied dimensions of the oven and our microwave. After it arrived the second time still wrong, we marked with tape the correct location for the oven, both below and above, according to those dimensions. The cabinet arrived last week, everything still wrong. (The first time, they put the oven above my head!) They did not follow design on four other cabinets. No doors or drawers yet, two months after promised delivery. read more

Fernandez bros cabinets are the best! I have a pretty small kitchen , I didn't think there was much I could do to make it look any different. Victor came in , in less than ten minutes he handed my wife and I a hand drawn sketch that blew our minds! Now that the cabinets are in , like an artist, his sketch came to life and we are so happy ! I wouldn't think of going anywhere else for custom cabinets. I will recommend them to everyone I know. read more

The worse, if I can give them negative stars, I would. I hate every step of the way, very unprofessional. Let's start with the delay, try months instead of weeks. Then there was no meeting, I gave initial deposit when I confirm the style and color. Then no called back. My contractor got pushy because no counter top can go in when there's no lower cabinets, then finally weeks later, they came! Wrong size! They measured the kitchen 3 time, and this is the result they gave me. When it is finally in correctly, I found a huge problem, they didn't hear me repeatedly telling them I don't want any handles in kitchen cabinets. They didn't leave me with a niche for finger-pull that I specifically said in the initial meeting at the factory. They don't consult with me through meeting, they just do pencil drawing and use that as guide. There was never formal blueprint or even AutoCAD computer drawing. I ask for the installation schedule​ several times, nobody knows, not the owner, not the crew. I had so much regret going to them, and the list above is only the tip of iceburg. We gave them a huge job throughout our remodeling and all I can say is the contractor who introduced us is also finding same problems I had experienced in the past at his other clients. The finish look okay from far away, upon using it, trust me, anyone would get frustrated. This has ruined my life for several months because I was in school, working and watching over my family house remodel. Now it ruin my day because I have them do kitchen, all bath and powder room, and the living and dining room. They are horrible! read more

Fernandez Brothers designed and built my kitchen cabinets. I contacted them after seeing the custom cabinets they built for my neighbor. She was so pleased with her kitchen and encouraged me to call them for my kitchen. I'm so glad I followed her advice! I can't rate them high enough. They were professional, timely, courteous, and an absolute pleasure to deal with. The cabinetry they installed is so beautiful. They made suggestions to keep me within my budget and installed exquisitely crafted cabinets. Besides their high quality and workmanship, they are very responsive to calls, e-mails and texts, which is so unusual to find among other contractor-types. I highly recommend Fernandez Brothers Cabinets and will use them again for any future cabinetry needs. Thank you, Vic and Rich!!!! read more

I never write reviews but I felt compelled to write about Mr. Victor Fernandez and his staff. From the start I had no clue what I was doing but every step of the way Victor made it a point to make sure I knew what was happening and why. He gave some excellent suggestions and on one or two instances I gave him full creative authority to complete the job. I know I got a great deal because every time I talk to people about my deal they always say, "wow great deal". Outstanding customer service and remarkable experience. Highly recommend Fernandez Bros for your next cabinet project. read more

Vic is a seasoned craftsman and an artist. He made cabinets for our kitchen and wet bar. The work was impeccable. The kitchen had two odd corners that we were stuck with. But Vic came up with clever ideas not only to make the corners usable, but also made them nice features for the kitchen. Their workmanship is flawless. The guys are all very pleasant to work with and at the end they all became our friends. Although we jerked Vic around by asking for more than we had bargained for, he always delivered with a smile. read more

We were introduced to Fernandez Brothers by our contractor Gabino. The minute we consulted with Vic and Shadi (Vic's project manager and right hand) we felt they would give us the kitchen of our dreams. They are an outstanding business that performs as promised. They get a A+ on workmanship, talent, customer service, quality and they were very reasonably priced. We showed them pictures of ideas we had as well as the problems of our kitchen and they offered ideas to utilize our space to the fullest. Vic is a honest, hard working and a very talented custom cabinet maker that can take an idea and turn it into a beautiful reality. Shadi has a great eye for design and options that turned our kitchen into a user friendly gorgeous space. They both listened to what we wanted and turned our ideas into reality. We had picked a color for our island and they gentle suggested a glaze to tone the color down. We were amazed at the beautiful color they had designed and it is the center piece or our kitchen. We got the AMAZING kitchen we wanted and are so happy we chose Fernandez Brothers custom cabinetry. There is no need to go anywhere else they will make your dream kitchen come true. read more

Vic and his crew went above and beyond building and installing our custom cabinets. Very professional and took care of any issues that came up immediately. They really support the client and the job was beautiful. I would highly recommend. All my friends who have seen the new cabinets comment on how beautiful they look and say it should be in a designer magazine. You get what you pay for and more and I would do it again!!!! read more

I can't say enough about Fernandez Brothers Cabinets. I hired them to replace my bathroom vanity, which was an ugly oak with an awful countertop. They built a gorgeous white cabinet and I picked out a white granite countertop that matched my bathroom much better. They did such a good job, my mother hired them to remodel her bathroom, which turned out fantastic. So when she decided to remodel her kitchen, she called Fernandez Brothers Cabinets. Her kitchen cabinets were so outdated and the setup wasn't as functional as it could be. Rich and Vic came up with a beautiful design - adding a peninsula instead of the small island she used to have. They showed us the different cabinet options and she picked out some that were entirely different from anything I've ever seen. When they were installed, they were absolutely stunning. My mom loves her new kitchen and gets lots of compliments on it. I would definitely recommend Fernandez Brothers Cabinets for their professionalism, quality of work (they are perfectionists!), punctuality and customer satisfaction (if I could, I would guarantee it) - they are a great team to work with. read more

This business is fabulous. I don't post many reviews but I had to acknowledge this wonderful company. Vic is a genius. He took my old awkward kitchen and turned it into a custom beautiful user friendly space. Vic and Shadi are a team of creative, hard working, custom designers. They put pullout drawers, slow close doors and custom cabinetry that looks like it could be in a magazine. They even made us a custom sideboard/buffet to match our custom kitchen. There isn't anything this company can't do? We have had many friends redo their kitchens and none of them have the level or craftsmanship we do. For most a kitchen remodel is a nightmare for us it was smooth sailing. I can't recommend them enough. I was afraid I couldn't afford custom but Fernandez brothers worked with me to find a way for me to get the custom kitchen of my dreams that I could afford. Vic and Shadi are professionals that treat you like family. There are no regrets only happy dinners in our custom kitchen by Fernandez brothers. If you are considering a new kitchen, bathroom or any other cabinetry project call Fernandez brothers they will make your dream come true as they did for us. read more

We first used Rich Fernandez to do a small bathroom cabinet job. We were so pleased with the result that we hired him earlier this year to do a complete living room wall with built in cabinets to house our TV equipment, including book cases and fireplace hearth with the flat screen TV integrated into the wall above the fireplace. The result is so beautiful, it looks just like the magazine cover look that inspired it! Rich, his brother Vic, and the guys that work with them (George and Burt) all are so easy to work with. They understood what was needed, gave us a great price, worked with the other subs (granite people, electrician) with no problem and made the whole process very easy. We are completely delighted with their work and would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone. Great quality work, friendly people, reliable, efficient and at an affordable price. If you want great cabinet work, we recommend them highly. read more

I cannot say enough nice things about Vic and all the guys that work for him at Fernandez Brothers Cabinets. We were in a pinch last year when doing our kitchen remodel - we had ripped out a soffit in our kitchen thinking we were getting cabinets from a pre-fab place. When we went to finally place the order (after numerous times of planning and asking dimensions) we learned the cabinets we wanted didn't come in the right length. After a referral from a friend, I spoke with Vic and he was happy to help. The kitchen came out better than my dreams. When in doubt - go with the suggestions that he makes. Vic is very experienced and does this regularly so he knows more than we do and his suggestions/choices were always better than what I was thinking. We had to have custom size cabinets when we moved the sink under the window because the center is a weird distance away from the wall - ended up with a bigger sink which is great! We also needed a piece to help hide a support beam and they built the cabinets around it with trim to hide so it blends in. They also added dividers to one of the lower cabinets so I could store my cutting boards and baking sheets standing up instead of stacked on each other. Finally, we added a bar cabinet to the corner that is just beautiful and ties the whole thing together. When I need cabinetry again for any reason, I know exactly who to call. You will always be glad you chose Vic and the crew from Fernandez Brothers! read more
