We are remodeling our kitchen, and I wanted someone I have talk to about remodeling. Rick Sorci was very open and very honest. We picked Stockdale Kitchen and bath. Ricks work is outstanding when it comes to choosing and picking materials. Rick listens to my wife and I on what we are looking for. He gives great advice, but is looking for that "I love this attitude " when you have found the perfect product. If you want a professional who takes his time to satisfy his clients, and you are thinking of remodeling give Stockdale Kitchen and Bath call. The staff and Rick are very knowledgeable on remodeling. read more

Rick and his whole team were top shelf the whole way from planning to finish. Rick spent a lot of time with me up front in the planning stage - even drawing up several scenarios when I wasn't with him. I believe the careful planning is what guaranteed the amazing results that I got. Everyone on the team was polite, communicated well and meticulous in their work. I LOVE my kitchen! Thank you Stockdale Kitchen and Bath read more

You know the old saying, "You get what you pay for?". Not if you use Stockdale Kitchen and Bath! The etch-a-sketch software they use to design our master bathroom does not calculate the drywall, plaster and tile which matters when every inch counts. "We won't start the job until all material is received". 8 days later, "we got a huge job elsewhere so we're going to start on your bathroom now and continue as material comes in." Taking time off work to accommodate their schedule was a pain. The crew that did the demo and new installation installed the Shower faucet that leaked causing water to fill between the walls on the first use. They had to come out, install new faucet and replace the drywall. Rick stopped responding to my call and emails so I was forced to communicate with the contractor he hired. Stucco cracked on outside wall where they installed the soap dish cubby. The shower drain had to be brought up to code bustarted smelling less than a year later. This would happen every few months. Called a plumber who ran a camera and found gravel in the line and said it's either from the install or a connection came loose and debris is filling the line. Ran into Rick and asked him about it and was told "it's out of warranty". The only bright side was that the cabinets we picked out came out great and the tile work was perfect. read more

When we decided to remodel our kitchen we randomly drove around looking for kitchen shops. We found SKB open late on a Tuesday afternoon, and Rick welcomed us into the showroom and started chatting. He scheduled us a measure appointment at our house, and it all snowballed from there! He helped us design our kitchen, shopped for each of the design elements, and coordinated all the work through his highly skilled contractors, Dave and Henry. We never felt pressured into making any decisions, but rather Rick and his team are so knowledgeable in what they do we felt confident in their suggestions. I truly feel that I ended up with a kitchen that even exceeded what I had set out to achieve, so much so that when I watch TV shows or look on Zillow at other homes, there's no homes (even at higher price points than mine!) that have a kitchen that i like nearly as much as my own :). Since renovating our kitchen, which in fact was a complete gut and overhaul of our previous kitchen, i have been cooking and baking so much more than before, thanks to newer, quality appliances and the openness of the kitchen. My baked goods are in such high demand at work, and my coworkers want to have our staff meetings at my house just to take advantage of the kitchen and the open flow of the kitchen/living room/dining room. Definitely one of the things that every person comments on is the backsplash (pictured) that Rick helped us pick, as well as the spaciousness and usefulness of the kitchen island and the "Fanciness" of the pantry door. Once the project got started, it actually went so quickly that it finished a few weeks ahead of schedule, which is always a welcome occurrence. I definitely would use SKB again, especially if my husband would let me redo our guest bathroom :) read more

Rick is the most professional and creative brains behind this business. Very honest and makes sure that you are happy with the results. I highly recommend this business! read more

Wife and I have been searching for a Kitchen remodel that will be seamless and something to where we can actually see before making any decision on throwing done a ton of money. There are so many choices in Bakersfield with companies to choose from. We met Rick at he Home Show last year and have been totally impressed with his knowledge and also that he hasn't tried to push anything on us even though our decision is not 100% final. His words to us were he would earn our business. From the first meeting to measuring our kitchen and putting together a 3d rendering of our kitchen, he is living up to that statement. read more

I recently had a large renovation project, including kitchen, laundry room and 2 bathrooms. The finished project is even better than I imagined. My decor is now modern and beautiful; the workmanship and products are superior. In thinking about the whole project, two things especially deserve a 5-star rating. The owner creates designs alongside the client, so that he makes changes in real time with the owner's input. The second thing that was invaluable to me was that the owner shops with the client to select appliances, tile, flooring, etc., advising what items would be best-suited to the project. He went out of his way continuing to look for tiles that satisfied me. I highly recommend this business! read more

The owner showed up for the scheduled appointment to measure my kitchen for a pretty extensive rebuild--water damage. As he looked at the torn out cabinets, tile, and part of the wall. He asked who did that--I told him and he said oh insurance. Then he said insurance is just a coupon--he is undoubtedly right but that is between me and the insurance company. Mind you he did not ask how much I wanted to spend or tell me how much it would cost, he just said he could not do the peninsula counter and he had done a lot of these, and they take out the soffets, get rid of the hanging cabinets and build an island. Then he says, "I don't think this is a job for me." I said it's your company and you don't want the work. I thought you were a professional." I honestly contacted the company because the website showed work I though looked promising. Maybe I just looked too poor for his business. I most certainly do not recommend them because of what I think was very unprofessional behavior. read more

Do not get your house remodeled by stock dale kitchen. Took them 8 months to complete a small kitchen remodel when I signed a contract stating it should only take them 3 months.They made appointments to come fix my kitchen no call no shows. They have one poor guy completing 20 jobs at the same time. No wonder it's taking them so long.Finally after 8 months of this mess.I have a kitchen but a very poorly done kitchen. I'm no professional and I could of done a better job But I paid a suppose professional. Ill be posting pics below.These liars filed a restraining order a week after my husband called to complain.saying that he threatened them.

These people filed a false report only to get out of fixing the mistakes they made.please save yourself the headache and find yourself a better qualified professional. read more

Worst experience I've ever had with a company or it's staff. They made countless mistakes despite multiple corrections and clarifications and when brought to their attention blamed me, were extremely rude and refused to fix them. Most unpleasant, impolite, incompetent and insulting people I've ever encountered in a professional setting. Absolutely horrendous lack of professionalism and customer service. read more

Horrible service and work please don't ever go with this company the work they did is so bad. My whole kitchen is ruined because of these assholes read more

The team at Stockdale is exceptional. I've worked with many contractors over the years but Stockdale has been hands down the best, most experienced in cabinetry and a high level of professionalism. The owner answers and returns calls timely, when consulting him on out of the box solutions to my kitchen and ancillary room problems... He listens and consults. He loves using imagery to explain and I couldn't have appreciated it more. The office staff is also responsive and his showroom is to die for. If you are looking for a designer to listen, solve and work within your budget there is no other option. I only wish I had more Kitchens and remodels to do. But I highly recommend him! read more

So I called these guys out to fix a simple leak in my daughters sink at her house. Not only were they several hours late, when I called to see what the hold up was they said " if you don't like the service than call someone else." When they finally came and knocked on the door I was greeted with 2 guys that both reeked of alcohol and apologized and said "sorry lunch took longer than expected". They were stumbling around and broke 3 of my cabinet doors and said nothing about it. And when they left the sink smelled like beer and cigarette butts and my daughters sink still leaks. If you ever need any work done in your house I would ask McDonald's employees to do it before these guys. read more

I scheduled an appointment and when they showed up, they were not wearing masks and were extremely rude. So I reached out to see what the issue was. It's not my fault you can't remember remodels and if scheduling is the issue maybe you guys should make some changes.. I have never had a more difficult time trying to give someone money for a service. They cut my counter top wrong and also stole my dogs pain meds. I called to them and got no response. read more

Save your money and go somewhere else. If you want your floors and cabinets done as well as stock sale kitchen and bath you could go to your local elementary school and give some third graders $20 and some power tools they could probably build cabinets of the same quality. Just go to Home Depot and hire some people out front that know what they are doing. read more

Hire this company if you want an unlicensed contractor who will take your 50% deposit and then change his business name and flee the area. This is what happened to me when I hired Rick Sorci. read more

Although my wife and I had a preconceived idea of what we wanted to do when we decided to remodel, Rick and his staff really brought a creative vision to the project that exceeded our expectations. Rick guided us throughout the process step by step and used our input and feedback to mold the project into a final result that we would be happy with. All of his contractors were easy to deal with and quite responsive to our every request. Thank you for a job well done. We look forward to using your services again for our next project. read more

Stockdale cabinetry & bath was our first and only choice for our kitchen remodel! After seeing two kitchens designed beautifully by Rick (without knowing it was his work), we found out later that our family and friends used him. Once in the design studio it was confirmed we would be in great hands. His years of experience and customer service shine through with how thorough he is in the design process. I would highly recommend SCB for your home updates. You will fall in love with what he designs for you! read more

Recently we renovated our master bathroom and closet. We chose Stockdale Kitchen and Bath and worked with owner Rick Sorci. He answered every question and helped us with the tile selection and design. Everyone involved with the project from the demo crew to the tile installers and installation of the claw foot tub completed their work in a timely and professional manner. We will be contacting Stockdale Kitchen and Bath on any future project. read more

after meeting the owner ,who never gave me a card or a copy of written estimate and i was not even allowed to shop my own counter tops or appliances he would control that, i would have to give a depost to see anything i wonder how he would feel if he wanted to buy a car and i wont let him see the car untill he puts a deposit down. read more

Had them come give me and estimate and never heard from them again. I will just bring my business elsewhere...

We had been in a perpetual home redesign since I retired as cofounder of My Sisters closet several years ago (I became a DIY Network and HGTV junkie) Les retired from Open and Shut Enterprises in March 2013 as co-founder of Cofer & OberIies, Inc. and we both wanted the kitchen to be unique and extremely functional. We decided to contact Rick Sorci to do our kitchen remodel as I had dealt with Rick's father many years ago. This was not a project that we felt we could tackle by ourselves, it consisted of new cabinets, granite counter tops, recessed lighting, tile and wood flooring. Rick and his team proved to be hands on contractors, Rick worked hand in hand with me from measure to design he took the time to go shopping with me, guiding me through the decisions on all things from appliances to paint colors. We did get in touch with 3 other contractors but Rick was able to tie down the estimate with fewer unknown factors than the others. Our family, friends and neighbors really love our kitchen especially the special features that the cabinets and drawers have in them. We do not believe that we could have chosen a more knowledgeable and professional company than Stockdale Kitchen and Bath. read more

After twenty-seven years in our home, we were ready for a major kitchen remodel (the kitchen was ready too!). We also had a pretty clear vision of what we wanted. We knew about Rick Sorci's reputation for timely, quality work from friends who had worked with him. When Rick came to our home to take measurements, his first comment to us was "Of course you want to raise the ceiling right?" We were thrilled as that is exactly what we wanted although other contractors had discouraged us from making such a dramatic change. We knew then that Rick was the best choice to help us realize our vision! Rick and his team have been wonderful to work with. It did not take long for us to realize the innovation, creativity, dedication and professionalism Stockdale Kitchen and Bath brought to our project. Designing the kitchen was a breeze with the 3-D software he uses. We had a great time interacting with Rick as we described our vision in detail and he brought it to life in virtual reality. He showed great respect for our ideas and aesthetic, and at the same time, made creative and expert suggestions to help us refine and finalize our design. The process was exciting and enjoyable. Making decisions about finishes, granite, tile, fixtures and accessories was also exciting and enjoyable thanks to Rick's great personality and his enthusiasm as we shopped for everything we would need. Rick's skillful guidance, easy manner and positive attitude made difficult choices that much easier. We were constantly reassured that we would love our new kitchen owing to the personal investment Rick showed in our project. Tina and Jeff deserve special thanks for being such key players on the team. Tina kept us informed of everything as the process unfolded and was always available when we had questions. Jeff did an amazing job from the first day of demolition to the final installation of the cabinet hardware. His attention to detail and craftsmanship are of the highest quality. We were thoroughly at ease with Jeff in our home and he quickly felt like a member of the family. Our sincere thanks to Rick Sorci and the amazing team at Stockdale Kitchen and Bath. We love our new kitchen and look forward to enjoying it for many more years to come! ~Cheryl and David George read more
