Having hosted the HGTV program "My House is Your House", we've worked with and vetted many cabinet builders across San Diego and Southern California. I cannot understate enough how much of a mistake it was to choose Mr Cabinet Care for our kitchen cabinets on an Encinitas project. We are extremely disappointed with our experience with Mr Cabinet Care. We arranged & purchased custom cabinet drawer fronts that were supposed to be high-quality, but they arrived with noticeable gaps. the gaps were problematic for two reasons: 1. for the drawers / doors that closed incorrectly and 2. for being prone to collecting food debris (and unable to clean or remove that debris). [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I contacted the company about this clear defect (the food /gap error), they completely dismissed my concerns, blaming "care and maintenance" instead of acknowledging the poor workmanship.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Even worse, they provided doctored photos in an attempt to shift the blame, falsely suggesting that residue such as gum or putty had been left on the drawers. Not only was this completely untrue--no such residue existed in any of the photos we originally provided, nor in any additional photos we took. Falsifying evidence to avoid responsibility is not just dishonest; it's unethical and gives us even greater concern over other claims they've made in workmanship or materials. The operations manager even said The material you selected, White Oak Select, is naturally prone to expansion and contraction due to environmental factors such as heat and humidity. Upon reviewing the photos taken by the technician, it appears that the issues you are experiencing are likely related to care and maintenance, rather than any manufacturing defect." These were installed weeks prior to our notice, not years later, and during a cool weather season. To claim extreme weather (like heat & humidity) in San diego is laughable and outrageous. Under California law, products like these are covered by warranties ensuring they are fit for their intended purpose. These drawer fronts clearly do not meet that standard, yet the company refused to honor its obligations. Instead of standing behind their product, they chose to manipulate the situation to avoid accountability. Beware if you work with them and have future warranty issues, youre going to likely run into similar defenses and accusations. I would strongly caution anyone considering doing business with this company. If they are willing to misrepresent facts and dismiss valid concerns, I can only imagine how they handle other customer complaints. I regret my purchase and would never recommend them to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship or honest customer service. We will not be using them for any future HGTV projects nor recommending them to other clients or customers. Update: 3/2026- cabinetry paneling (eg, refrigerator) has now had its glue come undone leaving a larger gap on one panel vs other panels ... We've also seen stripping used for drawers come unglued. the masterclass in poor workmanship continues ... read more

We were very happy with the cabinet refacing job. Jim and Fausto did an excellent job and were very pleasant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Scheduling and timing went perfectly to fit our needs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The technician knew his craft and answered all our questions. The contract was implemented on schedule and the staff communicated timely and reliably. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cabinet care team showed flexibility to accommodate the delivery schedules of other contractors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] High quality team work was evident in the final products. Would definitely use them again as they came highly recommended! read more

Fausto P did an awesome job on cabinet refining with wood work above my refrigerator. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mr Cabinet Care has been the most stress free experience[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. They have a team of experts. Jim and Sandy. read more

Mr. Cabinet Care did an excellent job upgrading our kitchen. We are extremely happy with the results of the finished product. The entire team at Mr. Cabinet Care did a great job. The whole process was handled professionally and timely. They used high quality materials for the new doors and hardware, which makes easy opening and slow closing such a convenience. Placing slide outs really helps to easily get access to things that would be buried in the back normally. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The star of the show was Saul, our installer! He was very punctual and if he was running late because he had to go to the showroom first, he always texted to let us know.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He was very nice, professional, extremely detailed oriented and took extreme pride in his work. As a former manager of 1000s of employees during my career, he would rank in the top 1% in my book! I would be remiss if I did not give a shout out to Saul's boss, Fausto, as well. He came and rolled up his sleeves to help when other workers did not show up. He was also very professional and nice and coming to help showed great care and leadership. We are extremely grateful to Mr. Cabinet Care for beautifying our kitchen and would not hesitate to call them again for additional remodeling needs....as long as Saul was our installer! read more

Update, all Issues were resolved - I am very happy with the results. I would have given the 5th star if there had been no issues at the beginning. read more

We chose Mr. Cabinet Care to reface our kitchen cabinets, guest bathroom, and a linen cabinet. We are very pleased with the results. The crew made up of Eduardo, Alfonso, and Edgar were efficient, considerate, and hard working. Alfonso did the bulk off the work in the kitchen. Before he left each night he cleaned up the kitchen so we could use the refrigerator, stove, and sink. We thought this was a very considerate extra step. We would definitely recommend Mr. Cabinet Care to our friends and neighbors. read more

Terrible second experience with this company. First experience was great, timely and quality product. Second one has been total stress, disruption and poor communication. Signed contact December 7 2020. Project scheduled for January 25 to 29...4 days of installation. January 28 we are told doors and drawer fronts are not in and project put on hold indefinitely. Upon complaint we are told it's the suppliers fault, COVID etc. Kitchen is completely torn up and unusable except for minimal cooking. Appliance delivery cancelled, entertaining cancelled and life on hold. When they finally returned some doors and all drawers were incorrect so another 3 week delay. When asked what would make me a satisfied customer I asked for a $1000 credit. After 3 phone conversations I was told no credit except a $500 credit from the vendor because of delays. Mr Cabinet Care' s only concession is a $100 gift certificate for losing use of my kitchen for 5 weeks! Nice people but poor communicators and poor planning ruined the product. Such stress was completely unnecessary had they waited till they had the materials to begin the project. I cannot wish that on anyone. read more

We received 3 quotes to reface our kitchen cabinets. Big box store, another cabinet refacing contractor & Mr. Cabinet Care. Surprisingly, all quotes were very close in price. We went w/ Mr. Cabinet Care as the service & knowledge far exceeded the other 2. Additionally & most importantly, they fully replace all drawers w/ new rather than just refacing. They were the only ones doing this of the 3. We first met w/ Scott for the quote. He was AWESOME & the main reason we chose this company. He had great suggestions that we had never thought of. Some of the suggestions - switching cabinets into pull-out drawers (for instance, changing a cabinet that holds pots/pans to a pull out deep drawer), adding a cabinet to the back of our island for additional space that has never been able to be utilized (was too hard to reach), changing a drawer/cabinet into a large spice rack, changing 4 drawers into 3 deeper ones, etc. Besides the knowledge and suggestions, they were the most full service as far as moving appliances, different pull out options, etc. As far as pressure - none! They did have a promotion going but we had 10 days before it was expiring so we were able to take advantage without feeling any pressure. The only negative was that they do not offer interest free financing :( We opted to pay by check (rather than CC) & got an additional 3% off our project. Dinah was great w/ our measurements and only 1 small change had to be made after. The demo took a 1/2 day. Eduardo & David did our install. They showed up on time, left the area clean when they left and were very polite and efficient. The install was done in 3 days. We love our new kitchen & would highly recommend this company. My suggestion would be to get a quote from this company last. You will then see the obvious differences in what is offered and also be able to take advantage of any promotion they have going at the time. read more

We recently had our kitchen cabinets refaced, new countertops, new sink and garbage disposal installed. The whole process was a good experience. Great communication throughout the project. When the crews were finished for the day, they cleaned up. The cabinet installer Saul was great, answered all my many questions. Edgar was the last person we saw, he hooked up all the plumbing backup and put in the microwave. Definitely recommend this company. read more

We are really happy with the results! Jose Ortiz, from Mr. Cabinet Care, did an excellent job installing and refacing our kitchen. It all looks brand new and is sooo much more durable that just painting the old cabinets. We chose the Shaker style doors and had them painted a pale turquoise. read more

My experience with MCC was so unacceptable that I don't know where to begin. From no response to my calls, after signing a contract, to not building the cabinets to specifications provided and the impacts and delays to all other contractors was a nightmare. I have started a lengthy summary of everything that went wrong to share with Costco since this is who Costco contracts for cabinets and countertops. My husband and I have always been understanding of contractor work since my husband is a handyman and knows how challenging it can be to work with some people. We were glad that the people they sent to work in our home although most had only been with the company for several weeks or months and we never knew who would be assigned the work. Clearly it was whoever was available and not planned. read more

I desired on Me. cabinet care after checking several kitchen remodel companies. I could not be more pleased. There work is impeccable and their staff highly professional. I had a side business cabinet business while Pursuing my career that started as a hobby so I know good quality when I see it. All of their drawers have dovetail joints which are rarely used anymore because it is a lot of work but they never break. Their drawers and cabinets all have soft close hinges. My kitchen is absolutely stunning, exactly what I asked for. They aren't the cheapest place nor the most expensive place I found but I think they are the best. U wand to give kudos to Eduardo, Luis, Edgar, Richard, and Steve all of them were excellent. Thanks to Gina and Christine who were always by the phone if I had a question. I couldn't be happier. So you have a perspective of the pictures the island is 5x10 and my ceilings are 10 feet. If you choose Mr. cabinet care you won't be disappointed. All of this huge kitchen was done in 3 weeks and they drove 90 miles to get to my home! read more

I have been very happy and pleased with Mr Cabinet Care from day one. I love the entire staff, from my sales person Kevin, the surveyor Dinah, and the numerous people I've delt with on the phone to my lead installer, Jose Ortiz. I had my entire kitchen cabinetry refaced. I is a very difficult and tedious job and Jose was meticulous, hard working, on time every day, getting right to work, and considerate of my home. I had a couple small issues along the way, where things weren't to my satisfaction, but Mr Cabinet Care backed up their promise to make the customer happy and totally pleased and the items were repaired to my liking!! I went with white laminate and am thrilled. I highly recommend this company. read more

We could not be more pleased with our beautiful new kitchen! Our first visit for the estimate was with Rachel who was so friendly, knowledgeable and professional. It was like meeting with a friend! When it came time for the installation we hit a few snags but Richard the Area Manager bent over backwards to solve them and make sure we were pleased. Our installers were Leon and Sharon, a husband and wife team. There were delightful and we enjoyed their humor as well as their professionalism and attention to details. The materials were of excellent quality and the workmanship by Leon and Sharon, top notch! We could not recommend them or Mr. Cabinet Care, any higher! Thanks Team! read more

Mr Cabinet Care surpassed all expectations! From the first consultation through the final day of installation, the entire team was amazing! My husband and I would highly recommend Sharon and Leon were phenomenal - The project was finished in less than 3 days and it was pure perfection!! My husband and I really enjoyed getting to know Sharon and Leon - They made the entire process comfortable, fun and stress-free for us! We can't thank them and Mr Cabinet Care enough for the incredible job they did in our kitchen - Total transformation and well worth it!! read more

The Kitchen turned out great! Every one of the Mr Cabinet care crew was friendly and professional! I would definitely recommend them to everyone! I specifically would like to Thank Sharon, Leon, Charles and Thomas! read more

These folks did an great job and were a pleasure to deal with. The salesman that came to our house was nice and informative and did not engage in high pressure tactics (which I always push back against). We agreed to the job and he warned us that it would be a 6 week wait because they were so busy. The estimate was accurate but it was no problem because we expected it. Shortly before the start date., another individual (Chris?) came out and surveyed the job and took the final measurements. He answered all my questions clearly. The job was actually done by a team of 2: Mario and Amza. They were very pleasant...friendly without being overly intrusive. They were very considerate about cleaning up at the end of each day. I thought we might have to move out while the job was being done but there was no need for that. Sharron seemed to be the jefe. She was very nice and friendly. She seemed to really appreciate the beauty of the completed job. It was really nice to see her being so inspired and it made me appreciate the final work that much more. It's no big deal but my only suggestion might be that the office use email and texting more instead of calling for matters such as scheduling. I think it's a preferable way of communicating when dealing with those types of matters. All in all this was a thoroughly pleasant experience. I'd highly recommend these people. read more

Well what can I say but it's an Awesome company to work for so that there is no misunderstanding. I've been employed for 8 years and look forward to many more. Great company, great Coworkers, Great manager! Best products and services in the industry, Enough said. Give us a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

The website has an entire page dedicated to bathroom upgrades. I phoned them to inquire about resurfacing my master bathroom cabinets and getting new counters and I was told they ONLY will do bathrooms in conjunction with a full kitchen resurface. So much for that. Kind of false advertising. Will look for someplace else. Giving one star because it seems I can't post without a rating. read more

They have always been reliable, punctual, and friendly and really care about what we want. They refaced my parents bathroom this time. And they did an excellent job. We are very happy with the results. We highly recommend Mr Cabinet Care to all my friends and family and everybody else. :)) read more

Thank You Mr Cabinet Care for another job well done!!! I was so pleased with my kitchen makeover that you did for me a few years ago that I decided to upgrade my two bathrooms recently. I travel regularly for my career and they worked with my schedule to execute a wonderful job. I felt like the communication was great and I was always updated to what was coming up next. From demolition with Michael, which was painless to installing my cabinets and counters with Renato, Marcos, and Aurelio, everyone was super courteous and professional. I would recommend you to anyone who is thinking of improving their home. I am very happy! read more

My parents so far have been really happy with the long term results from working with Mr. Cabinet Care the last time and we have officially made them our go-to for just about anything kitchen or bathroom remodeling related. We planned for a small bathroom project and had them install new cabinets and countertops. The selection here is extensive and they were really great about helping us make our final decision. From choosing the type of wood to the color and style. What should have been a headache was actually not that bad at all. Thanks again! Definitely recommending to family and friends. read more

I have a complete kitchen transformation thanks to Mr Cabinet Care. Tammie and Richard did a great job of explaining the process of cabinet refacing and making good recommendations on cabinet/countertop styles and colors. The installers Mario and Jose were very professional throughout the process and they always cleaned up the space at the end of each day. They also dealt with the limitation and inconvenience caused by HOA rules in my building with extreme patience. I can't thank them enough for their work. I will definitely recommend Mr Cabinet Care team to whoever is considering kitchen remodeling. read more

I just had my kitchen cabinets refaced by this business. Though the job isn't fully finished to date, I want to express my total satisfaction with Saul Romano and Kevin for their work ethics and attitude. Saul is a real professional and truly has a desire to do the work with a high quality standard. He and Kevin were truly a joy to work with and I would recommend them to anyone. In short, I am a very satisfied customer with their work read more

When we signed the contract, we were told that the kitchen remodeling would start in 4 to 6 weeks. It has been over 6 weeks and the work has not started yet. They still keep delaying with stupid excuses. I am ready to move in my new home and I don't really know what to do about this. This is not a reliable company. You cannot count on them. read more

What a great job Edgar did. We are so happy with his work. His attention to detail is just plain awesome. You are very lucky to have him on your team. We will definitely be recommending your services to friends, family and clients. Very much appreciated. Keep it up and thanks again! read more

One stop shop! I loved that I did not have to interview and find someone for my cabinets, someone for the counter tops and someone for everything else. They may be a bit on the higher end price wise but they are 100% worth every penny! I will recommend them to everyone I know. The installer, Jose, is very accommodating and easy to work with. He is very knowledgeable and answers any questions that come along in the process. Jose took the time to explain each aspect of new products or appliances to me so that I knew the basics of how each work and where to find the answers, if needed, once he was gone. Since it was just Jose and I most of the day, he was polite and easy to chat with also. read more

We've just started our refacing project and I must say not only was a great sales experience, no hassle, no pressure, no wasting of time, but so far it has been a great install experience as well. They are bending over backwards to help and make sure things are done right. Can't wait to see what the new kitchen will look like when done. Thanks read more

I wanted to give 5 stars after the cabinet work was done. My installer, Jonathan Olvera, was professional and friendly, and obviously takes a lot of pride in his work. It was the rest of the project that left me unimpressed. Tammie explained that all their installers were employees of the company. I asked if they were local and she said Yes. So after the start of the project, I found out that the countertop work was contracted out to Pacific Stone, based in Anaheim. That means that the installers had a 2 to 3 hour commute. I feel like Tammie should have known what I was asking. It wouldn't have been a big deal if they had done the job right. TWO different people took measurements: the surveyor (MCC employee), and the countertop designer (Pacific Stone person) who did the CAD drawings for fabrication. Wouldn't you think they would both know exactly how much space would be required to mount a microwave? But the backsplash behind the stove was installed two inches too high to install the microwave. I had to send away the microwave installer on 12/26 and reschedule him. (I paid him something for showing up, for his inconvenience.) Then of course I had to get Pacific Stone to reschedule their guys to correct the problem. It was now between Christmas and New Year's. I had hoped to have the project done by then. I signed the contract on October 30 and work commenced on December 9. (If you ask for a precise timeline for your project, you won't get it.) Let's back up a little. The countertop had been installed on 12/23 but MCC couldn't get the "final installer" there to mount the faucet and reconnect the plumbing until the next Monday, 12/30. Nobody works on the two days after Christmas, really? I've never had a job like that. So the faucet I had purchased at Lowe's was missing a clip and could not be installed. I had to reschedule the final install and continue to wash my dishes in the bathtub. Not MCC's problem, but nevertheless another irritating delay in getting my kitchen working. (Lowe's refused to refund my money as I had bought the faucet more than 90 days prior. They have now lost my business.) When the Pacific Stone guys showed up to fix their error (same guys), they tried to tell me that there really wasn't a problem and that most people just put some plywood in the space between the cabinet and the backsplash. That didn't pass the laugh test. There was supposed to be 16.5 inches clearance, not 14 inches. They should have been working from a design specification. They left a bunch of waste material in my landscaping that I had to pick up. That made me even less happy. They had to rip the entire backsplash off (not just the piece behind the stove) and replace it. Making more mess that I kept finding all over, because by that time the appliances had been delivered and installed. When I asked about who was in charge of the project, who was doing QA/inspection, I was told that all installers were well trained and no one needed to inspect their work. I call BS on that! I work in the software industry. We are all well-trained and well-educated, and we still have someone else looking at our design specifications, our code, and our final products to ensure quality. If you are looking for beautiful cabinet work, MCC might be a good company for you. I would not hire them for anything more. read more

Tried to get them to consult with me as a subcontractor and they refused. "We only meet directly with the home owner."

We just had our kitchen cabinets and counter tops refaced by Mr Cabinet Care. The service was impeccable. It started with the sales rep Kaitlyn, who showed us various wood color and design. After that was picked they did a incredible job in putting our kitchen backed together. On the final day Sharon & Leon came and (on a Saturday) installed our Stove, Microwave, and Refridgerator, plus they did a few final touches. They were fast and efficient (also at times pretty funny). I would definitely would recommend them! read more

We could not be more pleased with our kitchen refacing! From Brandon who came out initially to give us our quote, to Chris who did our final measurements and explained how the project would run, to Charles, the talented and AWESOME installer who was here all week.............my cabinets and drawers look AMAZING! Everyone who we have come in contact with at Mr. Cabinet Care has been polite and professional. The quality of the work Charles did is outstanding and the price was extremely reasonable. We will use them exclusively for any future projects. read more

I can't say enough about Mr Cabinet Care, they are truly an outstanding company. From our Sales lady Kaitlin to Mario who did the prep, demolition to preparing the cabinets for refacing and countertop for new Quartz. The process was fast, efficient and I love how it looks. On completion day it was Sharon and Leon who answered questions, took the time to show me how the drawers work, come off, replaced my appliances, replaced my switch plates and receptacles. Sharon and Leon wanted to make sure everything was done to perfection. They went above and beyond and are a delight to be around. I would highly recommend Mr Cabinet Care, when your completion work needs to be done request Sharon and Leon if possible....Awesomeness! Thank you.. read more

10 stars is what I would give Sharon, Leon and their team if I can. I interviewed 5 different companies and Mr Cabinet Care stood out from day one and kept impressing until the last day. My family is very happy with our new kitchen (showroom is what everyone is calling it). If you want a great product and even better people working in your home then look no further. Never thought I would say such nice things to a buckeye :) read more

Mr Cabinet Care recently completed a refacing project for us. From the beginning, they were professional. Adrian the sales guy came out and gave us a great demo, and a fair price. From there, surveyor Chris came out and measured everything. Mario was the foreman on the job and did a great job from start to finish. All in all, it took about 4.5 days to complete and looks really good. We would definitely recommend Mr Cabinet Care for refacing. If your lucky, you'll get Mario on your job. read more

Mr Cabinet Care - General Contractors Near Me

I had them do my kitchen which was a seamless process from start to finish. So now I have them doing my bathrooms which has been problematic from the start. The surveyor did not know how to measure properly which created problems from the start. Damage to interior finishes by careless salespeople who run into walls with their roller bags as thg hey walk down hallways? My work started in February and is still not done!! Surveyor did not measure correctly so stone company installed a backsplash that was too high to accommodate mirrors. Mirrors are still sitting outside since February waiting to be installed?? Stone company had to come back, tear our backsplash to return to the shop to cut down . Then reschedule to come back and re-install. This company wanted to compromise a bedroom wall by cutting it open to install plumbing until one of their workers explained it was best to not cut into the wall?? This company wanted to put both bathrooms out of commission at the same time which I said No to. One hand does not talk to the other!! Now my bathrooms are still not done and I have to find repair people to fix all the damage that Mr. Cabinet care does not fix??? My husband and I have taken time off from work only for minimal progress to get completed! Not only does the work not get done correctly from the start, we have to clean up the work area of all the debris as you stated they do not remove the boxes, old items etc. This has not been the worry free experience I had when your company did my kitchen. read more

I trusted the sales person and the supervisor who came to confirm measurements and color. I wanted the refacing done before I fully moved in.... When I arrived a few days later I couldn't believe the sloppy craftsmanship. Glue is still prominent in MANY places. Some screws were left exposed. It took several attempts and 3 months to get a corner cabinet face to fit. There were lots of rough edges that weren't sanded. They damaged the brand new wood floors in 2 places. Speaking of sand/ sawdust was left on the top of the cabinets. There was a missing toe kick. Oh... and the cabinets were the wrong color... After the sink was installed, they reattached the hot/ cold backwards. After several revisits from supervisors, no one checked back to see if I was happy w/ the work. I'm NOT. I signed away giving up after almost a year, and did the work myself. Pathetic show of craftsmanship and customer service. read more

Customer service is horrible. They couldn't answer a simple question and transferred me and hung up.

Although their customer service is 5 stars, there are a few small 'user' issues that bother me, for lack of a better term. I am forever 're-sticking' those clear rubber bumper dots on the drawer edges as they keep slipping off and migrating to the outside of the drawer - they have been out twice to try and correct this but to no avail. Also, beware of those cut-out areas inside the drawers - they are extremely sharp and on occasion, when in a hurry, a hand or finger has been scraped by them. For the money we paid, one would think these would be more 'finished' around the edges. Other than that, we are happy with the look of the cabinets but doubtful we would recommend this company to anyone unless pointing these two small issues out to them. read more
