Buyer Beware! This company does NOT stand by their work. We ordered custom cabinets Frank Jr sent his "Designer" to measure. When we got the cabinets the measurements were wrong.and cabinets didnt fit, couldn't be installed. and if that wasn't enough they were missing pieces! Instead of correcting the mistake they blamed homeowners, that measurements were off? I'm sorry, isn't that designers job, that they hired?
Be aware of a company that wants full payment prior to you receiving your product! It's a shame that we trusted this company and until this day they have made zero effort to fix nor refund money so we can get our kitchen back. Where is their integrity?

ITs Open during COVID but just an FYI you do need an appointment before arriving or you could be waiting for a VERY long time if they even let you in. Good selection.

From a no appt/walk-in meeting with Lillian to the completion of our project, we had a great experience with Diablo Valley Cabinetry. Great showroom for product examples. We had a kitchen design which Lillian reviewed and suggested a few changes. She offered good input when we were deciding the cabinetry line and was spot on regarding delivery dates. Very responsive in contacting the cabinet maker when they shipped one box of the wrong drawer style. Lillian also referred us to a great contractor. Excellent service and we highly recommend this shop!

They provide great service and nice layout for our kitchen remodeling. We had Lillian as the designer. She has passion and listen to what we needs. She also been very helpful when we adjusted the project a bit. Overall, we are happy the result and will consider them as first choice if I need cabinet in the future.
