    Custom bathroom vanity.
    Edith R.

    This is our second experience with the K Doctor team. They replaced a vanity in one our bathrooms. It is an awkward shape and with their skill it fits perfectly. With their direction I was able to find a remnant piece of quartz that matches our kitchen that they remodeled 2 years ago. From an 1994 track build vanity to a custom vanity with a lower drawer, a corner section with shelves and the typical 2 door opening where the plumbing goes. No wasted space. I love that we are free to choose the sink, faucet and mirrored cabinet to fit our taste and budget. Whatever you choose the team installs it exactly as you want and leaves every thing clean and neat when they leave. They gave as much attention to this small job as they did our major kitchen remodel.

    Had a really great experience with Robert and his team. They did a lot of work remodeling my cabinets, counters, tile, floors, lighting, fixtures, baseboards and fireplace. Wife and I felt really comfortable with the team and they routinely went the extra mile. He makes the kitchen cabinets in his shop in Santee and can customize them however you want. The look great and are of high quality. You can see from the before and after pictures how awesome the kitchen turned out. They also installed recessed lighting and flooring in the family room, living room and bathrooms. The also tiled the fireplace and made a custom mantle to cover the red brick. Wife and I are very impressed with the work and will definitely have them back to remodel our bathrooms and master bedroom next!

    Hard to express how impressed we have been during the whole process of our kitchen remodel. From the estimate process through completion , Robert, Keith, Jose, and the whole crew were professional, responsive, and helpful. The craftsmanship is top of the line. We love our new kitchen. Thank you Kitchen Doctor for a job very well done.

    I can't thank these guys enough for the beautiful cabinets they installed in our remodeled kitchen! The owners of this company are completely hands on and were involved throughout the entire process. They are so talented, knowledgeable, friendly and patient. They were honest from the start with their timeline and didn't sugar coat any part of the process. We really appreciated their professionalism. We would highly recommend The Kitchen Doctor to anyone interested in beautiful cabinetry.

    What a lucky find! How rare is it to look back a year later with zero buyers remorse? It started with a quick chat in the parking lot, Robert was in his truck, ready to leave when we happened to drive up. He was kind enough to reopen and show us some samples, and we ended up scheduling an estimate. We had already gathered several estimates from other places, but when we realized this estimate would include all prep work that needed to be done, we never looked back. I loved the fact that when it came down to figuring out the logistics of our design plan, the entire crew was there. I believe that was the most important aspect of the entire project; TEAMWORK! I need to give a shout out to Todd, the priceless miracle worker. The man knows his stuff. We had so many things that needed to be done, like changing outlets, moving water lines, enlarging a doorway, replacing a window, recessed lighting, etc.. everything done to perfection. I want to thank everyone at Kitchen Doctor for a great experience. And the original quote we were given? It did not change.

    We decided to update our kitchen. We pretty much knew what we wanted done. After getting estimates from a number of different companies (Some that advertise heavily to some we'd never heard of) we decided to go with The Kitchen Doctor, a local east county company. We visited their facilities, examined the custom cabinets they were making and finishing for other jobs, and liked what we saw. They will custom make whatever you want. We had a picture of a "key cabinet" that we liked, they looked at it, said Ya, we can do that... (BTW It turned out great). First a few thoughts... Take time to do your homework.... It's was amazing to see the wide range of price quotes for virtually the same work AND a wide range of time necessary to do the job. PLAN AHEAD! Know what YOU need to supply (sink, faucet, appliances, floor tile etc.) and order them well in advance, so they are there when they are needed. After you decide on your counter top, decide on your backsplash and order it too. This will make things go smoothly without unexpected delays and glitches. ...and a money saving "tip"... shop for door/drawer handles and pulls on Amazon Prime. The savings over buying them locally is huge. Robert isn't going to be there to hold your hand each day, he has a good crew that have worked together for over a decade, he has faith in their work... you can too. BUT having said that, whenever I ever felt the need to contact Robert, he never failed to answer a text message, usually immediately with a follow up call if necessary. Start to finish our kitchen took just over 6 weeks (about as quick as you're gonna find anywhere) and almost 2 of that were waiting for the granite counter top fabrication. There was one (minor) glitch in the whole process and that was attended to quickly and thoroughly. Would we contract with Kitchen Doctor again? ...Ya, we would. Would we recommend them to friends/family? ...already have.

I cannot stress enough how much of a mistake it was to choose San Diego Custom Cabinets for our kitchen cabinets on an Encinitas project. The workmanship is absolutely appalling (bad). The cabinets started showing signs of wear and tear within just a year. Some panels (dishwasher) corroded and started peeling. The gaps between panels were uneven and unsightly at time of build but especially over time became worse, and to top it all off, the cabinets have actually changed color over time, going from a dark brown (walnut) to a tiger orange. It's obvious all materials were of the cheapest and lowest quality, but beyond that the company's response to these issues was to push back and simply state the warranty period had expired. I should add, it was not only the faces of the cabinets that failed miserably, but the boxes were poorly constructed, including cheap/failing hardware (like the trash pull out which constantly fails (hardware becomes loose and needs to be manually tightened monthly). At this point, we've had no choice but to demolish the entire cabinetry system. We have incurred massive costs (since prices have dramatically changed) and our clients are displaced during this demo period. I'm beyond disappointed with this purchase and this company and would strongly advise anyone considering this company to look elsewhere. As a company and brand, we will not be working with SD Custom Cabinets in the future. We will not be endorsing them. And if actual or prospective clients ask for our vote of confidence or recommendation, we will point them to this review.

The project included bathroom remodeling, kitchen remodeling, new flooring throughout the house, and interior painting. From beginning to end, the entire experience was smooth, professional, and very well organized. Amit, the project manager, was outstanding throughout the entire process. His communication was excellent he always kept us updated on the timeline, progress, and every important detail. Anytime we had questions or concerns, he responded quickly and made sure everything was handled professionally. One thing that truly stood out was the quality control and attention to detail. The workmanship exceeded our expectations, and every part of the project was completed with care and precision. The crew maintained a clean and safe work environment every single day, which made the remodeling process much less stressful for our family. The project was completed on schedule, and the final results completely transformed our home. We are extremely satisfied with the quality of work and the level of customer service we received. We highly recommend Friendly Remodeling and Amit to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional remodeling company. We will definitely recommend them to our friends, family, and neighbors.
