I have worked with all manner of contractors and builders and done everything from landscaping, to bathroom, to roof construction. Ammar and his team were by far the most smoothly executed construction, and this was on my kitchen! While I could have gotten cheaper, as I have done in the past, I always end up unhappy with the construction. This was completely different. Ammar had all planned out, day by day, so everything was seamless. Took the amount of time quoted. What I loved most was that Ammar allowed me to consult him on other design issues, like the light fixtures and the range hood. Also, he always had an idea. If I didn't like where something was going, or the placement, he would offer an alternative. Only thing that delayed the process was my backsplash was back ordered. Amaar was very accommodating and offered me several other options if I wanted it done right away, but as I chose to wait, that was by no fault of his own. read more

Kitchen Cabinets Express - Amazing!! - General Contractors Near Me - Buena Park, California

I am SO happy that I found KCE for my kitchen remodel. I use to use a family friend general contractor or referral from friends/family for my remodeling needs but for my kitchen, I wanted to try someone new. I searched yelp and based on the great reviews and close proximity to my home, I found KCE. From the beginning to the end of the project was a smooth and easy process. Ammar was my point of contact at KCE and he helped me with the design, gave me a very reasonable quote, and project management. He was always available for questions and always got back to me immediately or the same day. There were ZERO surprises throughout the build out of my new kitchen and any change orders were accommodated at a reasonable price. I have to admit I am pretty picky on a few things and Ammar never made me feel like I was annoying and never tried to brush my concerns off with an excuse. Ammar's main contractors who worked on our kitchen (Salvio, Carlos) were great as well. They made sure to prep my house and covered every inch to prevent any dust getting to the rest of the home. They arrived early morning everyday and cleaned up after themselves after each work day. They were polite, didn't smoke or litter around my home and very friendly. I trusted them 100% while they were working on my home while I was at work. My husband was impressed and satisfied with the quality of work and he is a pretty handy guy himself. There were no shortcuts taken and the workmanship was complete and neatly done. Ammar and his team made sure that every little small thing such as a small screw hole to was touched-up so that it looked perfect and that we were 100% happy. I am more than 100% satisfied with my new kitchen and this experience finally made me realize that there are good contractor's out there who do provide amazing work for a very reasonable price. Thank you, KCE!!! read more

Unfortunately you don't make custom cabinet doors but I really appreciate you getting back to me within hours.

Called Ammar after seeing his response. He came to my house the same day to get a proper design going. He was very engaged and we have a follow up set up for Saturday. We spoke about the designer, who was not the female he thought it was, and got the situation straightened out. Hoping this is a good sign. read more

We are very happy with our kitchen remodel. They were fast and very professional. Ammar was full of good ideas to make the kitchen more efficient, even if it made a lot more work for his company. I almost wish I had another project for them. read more

We are very happy to recommend Kitchen Cabinets Express! We had been looking to remodel our kitchen for quite awhile, and when we started looking around, we came across KCE on Yelp. We scheduled an appointment with Ammar, the owner to meet us at our house. He spent a good amount of time discussing design details and taking very good measurements. We had several ideas about how to change our old layout, and he came up with a few even better ideas to integrate with our original ideas. He really was great and brought up some great suggestions. After that, we went to their showroom and he went over a basic CAD ground plan and 3D view of what we could expect from the look of the cabinets and the layout. He spent a good deal of time with us going over potential materials and lots of other details. He then gave us a quote for the plan as it stood and we took some time to think it over and get other quotes from other contractors. Most of the other companies that we spoke with were not turnkey as KCE was, and were only quoting design and basic materials without the contractor work. For our project, KCE beat the rest of the companies that we were looking at as far as pricing, and also were by far the least pushy of the bunch. Ammar always treated us warmly and very openly. After some negotiations, we signed the contract and waited for construction to begin. They were contracted to provide all of the construction, drywall patching, plumbing, flooring, appliance installation, and basic finish work. We did the demo, electrical, and painting ourselves. The project was basically a full gut of the kitchen and dining room, replumbing gas and water lines, all new appliances, new flooring, and new electrical. I won't go into every detail of the remodel process, but Ammar and his team completed all of the basic work in no more than 3 weeks! During the process, there were a few missteps with scheduling with his workers, but it was always made right. His crew was top notch and even came up with some new ideas (at no extra cost) to open up the doorway into the kitchen which has resulted in a much more open feeling. Any remodel of this nature comes with a good deal of stress, but Ammar and his team did a great job of lessening those feelings. Great design ideas, good project execution and flexibility, working with us to make anything right that went wrong, and good value all contributed to our great experience with KCE. We will be using them again for other projects in the future! Thank you Ammar and team! read more

How lucky we were to find Kitchen Cabinets Express. From our first handshake and greeting through the last adjustment in our kitchen, we could have not asked for a more professional team. Ammar has wonderful ideas and a commitment to excellence not often found in business. His creativity, attention to detail and his desire to make sure we were completely happy with the project made the experience such a positive one. Best of all our kitchen looks wonderful and we finally have the space we need in an elegant environment. Thanks to the team at Kitchen Cabinets Express. read more

After a long search of businesses to remodel our kitchen, we went with Kitchen Cabinet Express. The best decision my husband and I made was going with this company. The show room has everything you wanted to see up close and in person. The estimated time we would be out of our kitchen was 3 weeks starting from the day of demolition. The kitchen is up and running a few days earlier than the 3 week mark. The entire kitchen was gutted and the transformation is spectacular. The workers that have come in our home are very professional and personable. The contractor, Ammar, has been the consummate professional and has played an active role in creating our perfect kitchen. Thank you Kitchen Cabinet Express for making our dream kitchen a reality!!! I highly recommend K.C.E. Without reservation! read more

We don't give reviews but in this case we were/are so happy with Kitchen Cabinets Express we had to say something. First off Bashar worked with us and came up with an excellent looking and functional design. Francisco's crew with Jose, Jorge and team did a great job from demolition to final installation. Adam did great installing the cabinets and all their final touches. Bashar was always available and helpful throughout the project, no matter our request. All were professional, on-time and tidy. We couldn't be happier with results. We look forward to working with Kitchen Cabinet Express in the future. read more

Beyond our expectation! Contacted a few contractors, they either flaked, were overpriced or just didn't return my calls. So when I contacted KCE, and they promptly got back to me and set up a time to come to my house and give me a quote, I new we were off to a good start. Were do I begin... from design to demo to completion, this company has been solid. The owner Ammar knows his stuff, i told him what i wanted and he did exactly that, I didn't have to run to Home Depot or Lowes and pick things out for them to install, they had what they needed and handled it on their own. His crew is super professional, clean, hard working and really talented. In all fairness we were a pain in the butt, we kept changing things up and wanting them to do more then we had talked about in our original design, and Ammar always said no problem they would get it done, and his guys did!!! Kitchen turned out amazing, opened up walls and added a staircase all in under 8 weeks. WOW!! We can't wait for them to start on our bathroom and laundry room. Would recommend 100% read more

Had a new kitchen installed great customer service listened to my every want and satisfied my needs kitchen is beautiful and functional great quality. Would recommend to anyone looking to get a custom kitchen at a great cost great job and hope to do business with them again. read more

I was referred to Ammar at Kitchen Cabinets Express many years ago by a friend who was extremely pleased by their work, price and craftsmanship. I found my experience with Ammar to be exactly the same. He came out, measured, gave us his (much needed) opinion and we loved the kitchen. I found myself needing the same services on a different home and Ammar and Kitchen Cabinets Express has, once again, come through for me. Great job designing my cabinets, helping me pick out color, etc. Staff is very helpful and keeps in contact with you along the way. I highly recommend this company for your cabinet and countertop needs. read more

Excellent service hands down. We shopped around a lot for kitchen cabinets and everyone was giving us outrageous prices. This place had a great quality product (made in USA) and Ammar did a great job in designing our complicated kitchen and installation was done in ONE day. They followed up with another installation visit to complete some damaged doors that got dinged during shipping. They replaced all the damaged doors, installed everything and i didn't pay an extra penny. Highly recommend this place for USA made kitchen cabinets. I got a custom kitchen for the price of a pre fabbed chinese made one. read more

What a H U G E disappoint and MISTAKE !!! OVERPRICED as I thought quality CUSTOM cabinets !! Not the case they were mail order ! -Underside of cabinets different colors.. Hack cuts to string under counter wiring. Not to code as its bare wire. -Hack job where they inserted microwave (screws and raw not even straight cut edges,, then no stain touch up) -A wood stile was placed wrong and kitchen sink was not centered because of it... An excuse as to why from "contractor" as they didn't want an expensive repair as counter tops were already in place ! -Where there was a recessed area for wet bar they inserted the mail order at what ever its pre made size was so the counter top extends beyond the wall,, even added a hack job patch to fill countertop gap. -One one end of cabinet drawers there is a 3/4 inch over lay of cabinet top and on other end 3/8 back to drawer ?!?!? what the hell ?!?! -Where they did flooring they left the door casing cut up high...and I mean HIGH - Have they ever heard of filling pin nail holes on mouldings ?? - Why no moudings at end of cabinets where it meets a wall ?? Jusy leave it ?? Maybe a little caulking ??? ...lol... Hood not centered... CHEAP CHEAP cabinets (for what was paid could have done custom twice)... NO WHERE NEAR WHAT GOT PROMISED !! I could go ON and ON... RUN RUN from this company !!! Anyone can email and I will be happy to back up my claims !! Yes this is my FIRST review.. as this disappointed me so it drove me to this extent !! read more

Working with Ammar and his staff at Kitchen Cabinets Express was an amazing experience! We hired Ammar and KCE for a full remodeling project on a 2800 sqft home. This involved: 1. Complete kitchen re-design and renovation (increasing the size of the kitchen, moving walls, cabinets, island, appliances etc.) 2. Replaced a wet bar with a brand new powder room 3. Complete re-design and renovation of the master bathroom (reworked the layout of the bathroom, added a beautiful shower stall, dual vanity, freestanding tub etc.) 4. Entire flooring of the house was fixed and redone (changing from carpet to wood flooring and leveling uneven floors) 5. 2 additional bathrooms were updated with modern fixtures 6. Reframing and building multiple walls. 7. Entire house was installed with recessed lighting 8. Full house painting and drywall replacement 9. Installation of all appliances 10. All windows were replaced 11. Redesigning three stairwells 12. Built closets and under-stairwell storage Ammar and the KCE team transformed our 1970s fixer upper into a brand new home. You cannot go wrong with Ammar and the KCE team: 1. Design - Ammar has a keen eye for design and attention to detail. He was able to look at different spots of our house and provide a vision to make it usable and eye pleasing (basically creating beautiful space when it didn't exist). I cannot overemphasize how important this was in the renovation process. Ammar will sit down with you and give you a sense of exactly how things will look before anything is even broken down. Please take his advice...he knows what he is talking about and has outstanding vision for design and construction. 2. Trust - During the process, we were apprehensive given that we were new homeowners with no contractor / construction experience. Ammar and his team guided us truthfully and did not take advantage of our naiveté. Most importantly, we never felt pressured / rushed to make decisions and Ammar and his team walked us through every stage of the remodeling project. 3. Quality - The quality of the workmanship and end product is stellar. This is work that gets featured in trade publications around the country. Ammar and his team take a ton of pride in their work...they will not tolerate any shoddy work...entire rooms were redone if they / we were not happy with the outcome (at no cost to me). 4. Service - This was a full service project. We didn't' have to work with engineers / architects / the county - Ammar and his crew took care of all of that. No problem is too big for Ammar and team! 5. Ability to correct course (and innovate)- Through the project, we actually asked for additional things / modifications that were beyond the scope of the initial contract and Ammar and the KCE team were able to make changes without altering the final cost of the project (and in many instances improve on the original things we had in the contract). 6. Great construction crew - We felt like we worked with the best skillset in each of the individual construction disciplines (carpentry, electric, piping / plumbing, masonry, painting etc). Very professional, hardworking and caring crew - respectful of our house - always kept things tidy and clean. We were fortunate to work with Ammar and his team. I highly recommend them and will use them for additional house projects! read more

No doubt this company means business. From start to finish they were all on it. We hired Kitchen Cabinets Express to do a complete kitchen remodel. From the start we felt really good about going with them. We called them to get an estimate and at the same day we get a designer out to our home to do measurements, Two days later we go to their Beautiful showroom and we were presented with a computerized image of how our future kitchen is going to look like, the designer Amar was great and very knowledgeable he walked us through all the details from quality, finish, style to color coordination. After we started the project we were communicated with almost daily and we were told what to expect the next day. Our kitchen is completed on time and it looks more beautiful than we expected. We highly recommend this company they are great. I can see why they have a successful business for the last 18 years. read more

My family recently purchased a home and planned for a whole house remodeling. But we came across a design road block when it came to our kitchen and master bathroom. The original kitchen is a small U shaped kitchen with no room for island or peninsula. We wanted to maximize counter space and cabinet space. That's when we searched for a good kitchen cabinet place on yelp and came to find Kitchen Cabinets Express. Bashar was the designer/ project manager who helped us out. Because we had limited amount of time for remodeling, he went above and beyond to make things work out for us. He came after hours to do measurements and assessment of the space. I mean a thorough, in depth survey of the space and brainstorming of ideas. From there on, we went down to their showroom where he presented 3D image of kitchen layout and different types of cabinets that would be included. For someone who's never designed a kitchen before, it was the most helpful to hear an expert tell you which cabinet type should fit where. From placing a spice cabinet and large pull-out base cabinet for pots and pans near the stove, large drawers near the sink for your plates to centering your sink on our window so I could have a nice view of the backyard while washing dishes, his kitchen design had all the little things I would appreciate while using the kitchen. Then, there was Amar who is a designer and a contractor who came to help us out and gave us sound advice on functionality of these ideas. Considering the fact that we were working on such a tight time line, both Bashar and Amar worked together as a team and took their time to come up with a design plan for our kitchen and 3 bathrooms in just over 2 day period. We had to drive over an hour to go to their showroom because we live in LA but it was well worth our time. We had looked through so many ideas on pinterest before meeting KCE and so we had so many random ideas that we wanted to include to our house. On this, Amar and Bashar were very patient and gave us guidance on what can be incorporated into our theme and what would spoil the whole theme of our hose. What we appreciated the most about their service was that they took time to hear what we wanted first and made suggestions on materials and color schemes that would reflect our taste while creating a great finished look and maximize functionality. They were very clear about the total cost, time frame and materials which they also provided satisfaction guarantee. We were skeptical when we began our search but now we feel so grateful and educated at the same time because of KCE's expertise and honesty. read more

Ammar and his team did a whole house renovation on our 12 year old yr old home which was vandalized all throughout the interior of the house. Major kitchen, new laminate flooring throughout the house, interior paint, and interior woodwork refinishing. Simply stating, his team did a fantastic job. Ammar specializes in thoughtful, well-executed high end kitchen and bath renovation. Within a day or less, he produced a kitchen design layout that shocked me in terms of the creative use of space, arrangement of furniture to make it flow, perfect use of what I own to keep costs under control. Ammar is thoughtful, creative, and very interactive. He certainly aims for the best solution to any problem. His price quotes are accurate and there are no major surprises when it comes to the end. He is honest and when he can't do something or is unsure about something his tells you upfront. He is generally concerned about his customers. I give him my highest endorsement and I plan to use him again for any future home improvement. read more

John and team are as good as it gets! We've all heard the kitchen remodel horror stories but mine was a fairy tale! John has a great eye for design and detail.

Being on time is something I value and John never missed a deadline! If John makes a commitment to you - you can count on him. His team worked tirelessly and were respectful of me and my home. You won't be disappointed! read more

KCE was amazing, from the design phase to the completion of our home they exceeded our expectations!! We had several other companies come out and give estimates on the kitchen and none of them were able to offer any change in the design. But Ammar was amazing, he walked in and within a minutes started throwing out all kinds of interesting ideas on what we could do. All of the crews were respectful and courteous in all the phases of our remodel. As we ended up not only remodeling the kitchen but bathrooms, and our new great room. We are so happy with the end results and would truly recommend Kitchen Cabinet Express read more

We selected John Swarm of Kitchen Cabinets Express to design our kitchen renovation because of his willingness in working with us to achieve our dream kitchen. He was always available for questions and provided assistance throughout and after the project. I love our new kitchen! The KCE crew was always professional and friendly. They all showed excellent workmanship. I highly recommend them! read more

KCE just finished our kitchen remodel and they did a great job! My husband and I absolutely love our kitchen. They really captured our vision and turned it into a reality. They also have the best customer service. They are all very patient, very nice people. From Amar all the way to their employees they are all very kind, honest and pleasant people. Claudia helped us with the design and was in charge of our remodeling. She is very creative and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I am an extremely picky person and can make things very difficult for others, but every time I asked for something they always delivered. They were responsive and attentive to my concerns and focused on making me happy and making the kitchen the way I wanted it. That is one of the things I appreciate the most about KCE, their ability to make their customers happy. I would definitely recommend them because they will do amazing work and they make sure to make you happy. read more

KCE remodeled our kitchen and retiled a good portion of our downstairs. The work was professional and the results were stunning. We had a few issues, but KCE handled them all to our complete satisfaction. read more

We've used Kitchen Cabinets Express for multiple different remodel jobs now and have always been highly satisfied with their quality of work, communication, and pricing. They've taken on everything we've thrown at them and helped add a creative perspective to our projects. The job always starts with a bathroom / kitchen remodel (which they do a phenomenal job doing)- and when we added splitting a room, reconfiguring our pantry, adding lights and painting, adding a wet bar, adding a Tesla Charger (at the best price by far), or whatever else we need at the time, Ammar and his team are up for the challenge and take care of business. We will be using them again for another large project in the near future. read more

I installed new floor tile, granite counter tops and backsplash. I received 5 quotes in total for this project. I selected Kitchen Cabinet Express after seeing a flyer for them. They were much more reasonably priced than the other 4 quotes , so much so, that I was a little hesitant, you know the saying you get what you pay for. In speaking with John the representative and designer, who seemed very knowledgable and willing to answer my manny questions, I felt confidnt in choosing them. I was going to have company in a little less than two weeks so I said I would either have to start the project right away so it would be done before my company came or I would have to start after they leave. Kitchen Cabinet Express said the could complete the project prior to my companies arrival, and I took the risk and went for it. I couldn't be more pleased with their work, they finished on schedule, their workers did a wonderful job and they were awesome in cleaning up after themselves on a daily basis. I am so happy with the results. I can't imagine being any more pleased had I gone with another quote, I would have just paid more. Thank you Kitchen Cabinet Express, I love the way my kitchen looks. Sincerly, Linda Meade read more

We worked with Ammar from Kitchen Cabinets Express to scrape the walls and ceiling of our entire house, repaint the whole house, demo and install new laminate flooring, and redesign and install our kitchen. Ammar helped us with every aspect of the design, and thought about every little detail, ensuring we'd be happy with the outcome. The project was completed ahead of schedule and at a lower cost than six other quotes we received. We are very happy with our beautifully remodeled home. read more

Kitchen Cabinets Express did an excellent job remodeling our kitchen in less than four weeks. Ammar personally designed our kitchen to suit our needs, which exceeded our expectations. The quality of workmanship of the cabinets and products used was exceptional. All of the employees of Kitchen Cabinet Express were reliable and professional. They showed up on time and they cleaned up after themselves and made my kitchen look great! I highly recommend them! read more

I had a galley kitchen from the 70's. I love to cook and I cook a lot. I knew what I did NOT like/want, but I did not know how to put together what I did like. I was worried how everything would look when it came together. The color of the floors, the cabinets, the Quartz, the backsplash. I had no vision. Ammar designed a beautiful kitchen with lots of cabinet space. He put together colors and textures beautifully. And the best part of all.....THE FLOW. 4 weeks start to finish, then one week for the punch list. So easy!!!!! read more

I recently remodeled my kitchen with Kitchen Cabinets Express. My sister had a great experience with them several years ago, so when it came time for me to remodel, I also chose KCE. Ammar was a pleasure to work with. He designed a beautiful and functional kitchen for me, and gave me great ideas for my family room, which I ended up remodeling as well. Ammar takes pride on his work and really knows how to take care of his customers. He makes sure things are done right, down to the last detail. Every issue I had was taken care of to my satisfaction, even fixing my new laminate floors which I somehow, managed to scratch. Ammar always followed through. His team was very professional and skilled. I give kudos to Adam and his brothers as well as Francisco and his crew. They all did a wonderful job redesigning my kitchen and floors. I highly recommend Kitchen Cabinets Express. read more

Kitchen cabinets express was very professional and knowledge with what they were doing, they did excellent job in my bathroom in a timely manner read more

This company was very easy to work with and I had great results in a timely manner. Even though I had a relatively small job in comparison to other's I have seen in the pictures, I was treated with high importance. In addition, I had a unique situation where my home insurance sent a check to both me and my mortgage company where the mortgage company would only pay in installments as the work was being complete and Amar the owner was very helpful in accommodating that request. My kitchen is so beautiful now, I highly suggest the quartz counter top, it is like artwork. I also suggest if you have an old sink that you spend the extra money to get a new one to match the rest of your kitchen, they put it in for you at no extra cost. Mine was on sale for only 198 at Lowes and it is really made a big difference. I have never given a yelp review but use it regularly as I always have good results. I found KCE on yelp and feel I need to pass forward my experience so others can be confident that they are hiring the right company to do their work. read more

My wife and I interviewed several firms before selecting Kitchen Cabinets Express to handle a major remodel of one bathroom, upgrade of a second, enlargement/remodel of a laundry room, remodel of a family room, fireplace and finally address some issues throughout our kitchen and breakfast areas. John Swarm was our Designer/Project manager and his team did an excellent job from working with us on the overall design to final execution. His work crews were cordial, professional, on-time, and always cleaned up after themselves each day. Whenever issues popped up John always focused on getting things fixed right, his primary goal was for us to be happy when the project was done. My wife and I have been very pleased with the results of this project, in fact will be looking at a major master bedroom/bathroom suite remodel next year with them. Based on our own experience we can highly recommend Kitchen Cabinet Express and John Swarm in particular. read more
