I'm writing to share my overwhelmingly positive experience with Guilin Cabinets. Our recent kitchen remodel, thanks to them, has completely transformed our home. It's more than just new cabinets; it's a testament to their exceptional craftsmanship and commitment to customer satisfaction. From the very first consultation with Dean and our project manager, Andrew, the design process was a collaborative and enjoyable experience. They possessed an uncanny ability to understand our vision, offering insightful suggestions that elevated our design beyond what we initially imagined. Their patience and willingness to answer our countless questions (we admit, we had many!) were invaluable. They truly listened, making us feel heard and understood throughout the entire process. Beyond the design, the quality of the cabinets themselves is superb. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the flawless finish to the robust construction. The materials are clearly premium, promising years of durability and beauty. These are not just cabinets; they are a long-term investment that has already significantly enhanced our enjoyment of our home. The installation team was equally impressive. Their professionalism, efficiency, and respect for our property were remarkable. The entire installation was completed with minimal disruption to our daily lives, and the workspace was left spotless - a detail we truly appreciated. In short, our experience with Guilin Cabinets surpassed all expectations. The combination of exceptional design, superior craftsmanship, and outstanding customer service made this project a truly delightful one. We wholeheartedly recommend Guilin Cabinets to anyone seeking to transform their kitchen into a space of beauty, functionality, and lasting quality. We are particularly grateful for Saeed's unwavering patience and expertise in the reconfiguring of the peninsula as well as final touch ups...his craftsmanship is out of this world!!! -Joe

I've been looking for a kitchen remodel and had a consultation with several companies. I came across with Dean from Guilin and he gave me a reasonable quote. He's very straight to the point (which I like) and drew me a suggested outline of the kitchen. After researching about their company and works, my husband and I decided to get their service. I went to their office and finalize the details. Dean showed me the different options for countertops (they have tons) and very patient with me since I had hard time choosing the perfect one. After that, we sorted out the payment options and the process began. It took a while for the project to finish (about 5weeks) but it didn't disappoint. I had Andrew and Bobby as project managers. Most of the time Bobby was the one who is hands on with the project and Im thankful for him for being responsive with my requests and other details. Whenever I message him he will reply right away. There's some delays with the schedule and delivery but everything has been sorted out. Shout out also to Mauricio for installing all the cabinets perfectly and neatly. I liked it that he always keep the place clean and organized after he finishes his job for the day. I also loved the Lighting upgrade and the guy did a very good job . There's so many people who did the remodel and I can't remember all their names.. But I highly recommend this company for the good service and quality of their products.

We hired Guilin Cabinets to re-do our pantry. This was a project we considered for a long time - 4 years in fact - and had kept their proposed design for when we were finally ready. We wasted time getting other quotes and ended up back where we started. So glad we did! Everyone we worked with was very professional from the beginning through the end of the project. The outcome exceeded my expectations (this is rare). Not only is it a beautiful space, but highly functional as a kitchen extension. We waited much too long to do this. Looking forward to more projects! Thanks Guilin!

I started my kitchen remodel process two years ago! And decided it was too overwhelming with all the choices out there, design styles, the different quotes, etc. Until october when my refrigerator broke down and I wanted all panel ready appliances. I interviewed over 15 contractors/cabinet specialists and when I sat down with Guilin, I felt I found the perfect match. Jack Yarborough from Guilin was patient, responsive, listened and understood my vision. There was an entire team that made this whole process painless and pleasant. Carina saw my vision and made every effort to make it perfect. Chris was there to make sure I knew the schedule and what was happening during the entire project. He was prompt and attentive. Josh Bloomquist was always cheerful and made sure all my concerns were addressed. And of course, none of this would be possible if it wasn't for James incredible craftsmanship! His cabinetry skills and attention to details was masterful! James work is precise and crafted with excellent detail. The lines, the spacing, the exactness was exactly what I was looking for. My vision was to created a minimalist, organic, clean European kitchen with all push to open cabinetry and hidden appliances and this was executed perfectly! I can't say enough about Guilin and would definitely recommend them for anyone who is looking for beautiful, caring craftsmanship. Thank you guys. I am beyond happy with my kitchen. Love it!

I hired Guilin to make and install custom panels for my panel-ready fridge after 3 prior vendors couldn't make it happen. The team at Guilin gave a quick accurate estimate and time line which they abided by. The got the panels accurately made and installed on time. No changes, no excused, no drama, just a job well done. Highly recommend.

We had the best experience with the Guilin team- from start to finish and along all of the curves along the way. They truly brought my dream kitchen to life and were extremely friendly and efficient along the way. I met with a ton of other companies before going with Guilin and we definitely made the right call going with them!

Thanks to Guilin Cabinets for my beautiful new kitchen! Their cabinets are well made, and they use high quality materials. I was very impressed with their management of all the subcontractors, who uniformly did excellent work and were respectful of my time and my home. From the initial in-home consultation and demo to the final finishes, they communicated the schedule well and were responsive to all of my calls and questions. I am a novice to home renovation, and they made the experience as painless as possible. I would recommend them to anyone and would use them again!

I decided to go with Guilin Cabinets, after reading reviews, to reface my cabinets and replace my kitchen & bathroom countertops. I met with Jack who was extremely helpful in laying out how the project would proceed and providing advice on some of the particulars. He also assisted in getting paperwork I needed for my HOA. The installation of both the cabinets and countertops met my expectations. The quality of the cabinets and drawers were high. The quartz countertops look great and everything looks professionally installed. The only hiccup I had was the kitchen walls being a little scuffed up bringing in the countertop piece to my small condo. But Chris, who was coordinating with me on the countertop install, had a drywall guy come out to fix up those areas to my satisfaction. Overall, very pleased the quality and customer service. Would recommend Guilin Cabinets to others.

Guilin Cabinets did a fantastic job for us to remodel our kitchen. The price was reasonable, the work was very on time and well organized, and it was finished nine days before it was planned. Even though changing the cabinet while living in the house with two kids was very difficult, Guilin made it easy for us. The cabinets look very high quality, and installation is done without issues.It is very high quality, and the installation is free of issues. Pricing was accurate, and no extra charge was added during the job.

I went with Guilin Cabinets for my kitchen remodel project after receiving recommendation for them and they did not disappoint. Andrew my project manager was always helpful and addressed any concerns quickly. James and install crew had excellent attention to detail and left the workplace clean. The install and craftsmanship were impressive to see, and the cabinets turned out better than expected. If you are looking for a company to deliver great service and a high quality product I would highly recommend Guilin.

We had our bathroom redone by Guilin Cabinets. It was a tub to shower remodel and we are very happy with the job. From the designer, Denis, to Andrew, the project manager, to all their subcontractors, everyone was respectful and professional. They adhered to the schedule that was set and adjusted as needed. Andrew was on top of all the communication. Overall, we would highly recommend this company and will happily hire them again.

I wanted to update my review on Guilin Cabinets. After my interaction with the aforementioned sales associate, I received a call from Vivian at their office. We had a a great conversation she was empathic, professional and asked what she could do to earn my business. She set up another appointment with Denise who was a pleasure to work with. He showed up at the scheduled time. Denise was a true professional who asked questions about my preferences and made appropriate recommendations based on the space. He even provided an initial quote. I have interviewed over 6 contractors and based on my interactions with Vivian and Denis I have decided to move forward with Guilin.

I can't say enough good things about Guilin Cabinets. They were the first to respond to my kitchen remodel request. Jack came on time and spent a lot of time listening and measuring to ensure the estimate was on mark. Believe it not, my project started earlier than the initial projected time and finished early as well. My project manager was Andrew and he made sure everything was done correctly and ALWAYS responded to my texts right away. I also appreciated the group texts with all people involved with my kitchen update. I highly recommend Guilin Cabinets to anyone who wants a stress free remodel experience.

It wasn't hard to pick Guilin Cabinets from our choices of contractors when it came to remodeling our two bathrooms. The people who we worked with were honest, always on time, and professional. Throughout the entire process, they maintained good communication. The workers were very professional as well and the work was top notch. We love the results and have plans to use them for our kitchen. I highly recommend!

Guilin Cabinets did an amazing job on our kitchen remodel. They communicted with us on every aspect and quickly replied to all of our questions. Andrew was our project manager and Jack was our designer. All of the crew were superb craftsmen, great to work with, and were always on time and neat and clean and prevented any dust and debris from getting into the rest of the house. And they were great with our dogs! They brought the project in on time and remained within our budget as well. In all ways they are a terrific company and I have recommended them to all my friends.

This is a long overdue review. My house flooded in September 2021. The water damage was so extensive, we had to evacuate our home. In my desperation I reached out to a friend who is a Real Estate Broker and an Interior Designer, and Guilin was recommended. Brian came out for a first meeting and about a month later we received an approximate estimate for the project. My husband and I were very impressed with their cabinet quality when we went to see them at their warehouse. Once our case was settled with the insurance company, we signed a contract to rebuild our home with Guilin. This involved dry wall (many walls and ceilings were ripped out because of the water damage), plumbing, electrical, new kitchen, new powder room, new laundry room and a new bathroom upstairs where the water leaked from the toilet service line. In addition, Guilin installed new interior doors throughout the house. The new kitchen rendering done by Christine is pretty much the same as the final product and we couldn't be more happy. Of course, we ran into problems here and there, but Guilin fixed them all. Guilin stands by their products and work, I would HIGHLY recommend. Brian, Robert, Billy, Christine, Edgar, Marven and Andrew, thank you for helping us rebuild our home. \

I highly recommend Guilin Cabinets. They redesigned my kitchen and replaced my cabinets. Their cabinets were by far the best quality of the several companies I interviewed. They were always professional, arrived when scheduled and their work was superior. When I asked them to come back for some small touch-ups they cheerfully did so. Their goal was for me to be completely happy with my kitchen and with them and I was both.

After months of research and talking with few kitchen contractors we stumbled onto Guilin and now realize how lucky we were. Truly a professional and experienced group that showed up to work on time with a smiling face, progressing the work as best as possible. I say that because kitchen remodel is not uneventful, and we had our share of unforeseen issues that the project manager Brian handled them very professionally. The team from sales to design and construction are absolutely trust worthy. Randall, Christen, Robert, Marvin, Jack, Edger, and last but the most polite, professional gentleman BILLY are the core team. They installed a challenging design of modern kitchen cabinets, countertops, fireplace wall, and minor flooring which we are quite happy with. Most of all, they are so confident that they guarantee their work for 10 years, unlike many other kitchen cabinet contractors. I have recommended Guilin to our friends and can't wait for the time to call on them again for our future bathroom remodel work.

We are super happy with how our remodel turned out. What started as a small kitchen remodel ended up being a full demo with walls coming down and the transformation is perfect for us. Guilin ended up handling our entire project which included a new kitchen, bar, floors, 2 bathrooms and new doors throughout our home. Christine designed the space beautifully and the rest of the team executed the vision. Couldn't be happier with the finished product. Obviously with any large project there are hiccups along the way but the Guilin team was patient through every step. Thank you to everyone for your part in making our dream home!

I absolutely loved working with this company! They were thorough, reliable, on time, neat, friendly, professional, helpful, and so much more. I have referred so many of my neighbors and friends to Guilian. Their team, from the sales department all the way to the workers that came by the house were very helpful. We had a lot of issues with new appliances being back ordered (from another company) and Guilian was there to help with dry wall and fixing drawers after install. I'm very happy with my new kitchen. Can't wait to do the master bath next!

I had my kitchen cabinets refaced by Guilin Cabinets and they look FABULOUS!! We met Christian at their showroom and then he came to our house to quote the job. Marven then came to measure and once he started the job he magically transformed our cabinets. I HIGHLY recommend Guilin for their superior workmanship and quality!!

We were in the process of designing a new kitchen for our kitchen remodel. Christine was fantastic, she was able to come to the house, take measurements and then design the kitchen of our dreams. As you know, remodels are challenging and she was there every step of the way, accessible to answer questions when needed and ease any moments that I may have second guessed. The cabinet quality is great, soft close and very appealing to the eye. They also have a metal interior lining face frame that eliminates the concerns of chipping the cabinets with cups or plates. It is actually a great accent piece to the cabinets (see for yourself)! The installer, James was fantastic and very kind and communicative. Lastly, Brian, he was very helpful in coordinating everything and when we had any issues was able to help discuss troubleshooting between the counters and the cabinet team. I would highly recommend them for any kitchen remodel. They just got a new space in Irvine and it's beautiful!

I had two sets of cabinets installed and they look wonderful. This is the same cabinet maker as the builder used and it was very easy to set up the additional cabinets. Again, cabinets look fantastic and have not had any significant problems, only a few areas that needed touchup or repair and they corrected those areas in a timely fashion. I would recommend highly. Thinking about some additional cabinets in the future. Jeff has been very responsive and very accommodating.

As the son of a GC and someone who has purchased, designed and installed kitchens--and price conscientious to boot--I'll say that paying someone else to do my kitchen was not a decision I arrived at easily or quickly. That said, I knew I wanted better than the cheap (and very affordable) Chinese RTA kitchen cabinets I normally dealt with. Enter Guilin. Local to LA, showroom that isn't in a dirty/dusty warehouse, and quick communication? Good start. My favorite thing about this experience was the communication. I hit a couple snags during the process (because I'm OCD and also one of those too-involved type clients), but Guilin was quick to respond and fix things. I mean, on a holiday weekend I had one of the top guys at the company pay us a visit to check out the issue we were having. He evaluated the problem and offered a good solution with a short turnaround. Marven, our installer was great. Patient, friendly, and communicative. In construction it's always difficult to get a rapport going because guys are just trying to rush through their work and get to the next job, but not only were questions answered, but creative solutions were offered that went beyond what is typical of a kitchen install. As for follow through and warranty--we just noticed a small piece of damage on one of the cabinets (we just moved in finally), and they are offering to replace the item and install it without question. I know I know--they should do that anyway right??? But let's be real, this isn't often the case. All this to say, we are happy to recommend these guys--we being my wife and I, because she's the real boss and she also recommends them

I have to give this place 10 stars (if I could!!). They have gorgeous cabinets and a beautiful showroom, and are so reasonably priced. I absolutely LOVE my cabinets and the design. I worked with Scott Slupik, and he is nothing shy of AMAZING!!! He created a stunning design for my kitchen, and truly is one of the nicest, most knowledgable, and most professional people I've ever had the pleasure to know. He has been with Guilin many years and is highly educated. He spent so much time with me creating my dream kitchen. He went above and beyond the call of duty (even staying late for me after hours when i decided to make a last minute trip there). Also, Guilin does it all - demo, design, you. name it - they do it. You don't have to go shopping for electricians, plumbers, contractors - nothing, no hassle, no worries. I highly recommend Guilin and their gorgeous wood cabinets, and especially Scott. He's the absolute best, and is not a pushy salesman and doesn't try to sell you on things. He even went so far as to look into various appliances for me, and would text me pictures!! So nice! If you're looking for a kitchen remodel - don't look any further!!

The team did an amazing job with my kitchen reno and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. They were patient and quick to reply to my many questions. Installers arrived on time and cleaned up after themselves. Needless to say, there were delays as with everything nowadays, but they got everything resolved in a timely manner.

So we're 9 months into kitchen reno from (ahem), and our contractor's cabinet person is MIA. Contractor doesn't have any options. What's a girl to do? Yelp! I send out an SOS message on a Saturday morning. Less than an hour later, I get a call. Awesome, they are attentive. Next I hear from Jack aka my hero arranging to come by that Monday. He brings info, and we chat. I'm impressed that he's on time, friendly, and he patiently/thoroughly answers my endless questions. I explain we've been without a working kitchen for 9 months. No problem, he says, we can figure out something to get you back in business quickly. I'll be honest - I was dubious. I waited for the other shoe to drop - the price. I mean, they can do the work fairly quickly, the cabinets look to be great quality, sales folks are nice... Must mean it's out of my price range, right? Nope. The price is super reasonable! Where are the hidden costs? Hubby and I ask another million questions. All the nice things that seem to be extra with other cabinet places are included. Wait, what?! Also, Jack explains how they all text and communicate with you throughout the process. We love how it sounds, but we've been down that road before. We're dubious. But guess what? They DO! Next we're introduced to Jeff aka my other hero, who managed the process for us. Got a question? Nervous about things? We text... and BAM. We get an answer. Evenings. Mornings. Weekends. Do these guys ever sleep? Nope. Unsure of something? BOOM Jeff swings by, checks it out, reassures us, and arranges for any needed solution. Need a custom hood? Boom! Designed, built, and installed. Oh! They are mind readers, too. Thinking about the progress? Before you can ask, they are on the phone, calling/texting and updating us, sharing good news, explaining any problem areas AND the solutions they have put in place. Wait, WHAT?? Yes!! Run into a snag - need a quick fix to adjust something due to other workers? Boom. Jeff throws on his superhero cape, and swoops in. What about the guys on the ground doing the work? That's the catch, right? Nope. Installers James, Robert, and Edgar were attentive, kind, polite, and quick. And thorough! And they clean up after themselves! And the cabinets are dreamy... Beautiful. Functional. Soft-closing drawers and doors. A special pullout spice cabinet. A special drawer for my baking sheets. A lazy Susan. A deep and tall pantry. Housing for my pots, pans, mixers. Large and deep drawers that glide. If you can dream it, they can design it and build it! Not only that, but they advised us on the design, and helped us avoid mistakes. Seriously folks. I don't gush - certainly not easily. I have been so impressed with Guilin. They are honest, kind, punctual, and do great work. (A real unicorn in the contractor biz. lol) If you have a kitchen or bathroom that needs TLC, do yourself a favor and give these fine folks a call!

I've been wanting to remodel our original guest bathroom for years, and have been putting it off, but I'm so happy it's finally done. Attention to the small details is very important to me and I'm very happy with the results. Diana, Jeff and their crew are great! Diana is very knowledgeable and has an eye on designing, which was so helpful. I basically knew what I wanted to do, especially because my bathroom is small, but she gave us a lot of great suggestions and ideas I didn't think of. Jeff and his crew, starting day one, went straight to work. They were so careful not to dirty/damage any areas like the carpet, and cabinets. They covered up everything, which I appreciated. Jeff gave us a weekly/daily schedule, and not once did he fail us. They came when they said they would. I liked the fact that they have different crews that specialize in one area like demo, plumbing, tiles, etc. The project went as scheduled and couldn't be happier.

Kitchen remodel and flooring installation...we had a leak in our kitchen area that required the replacement of our kitchen cabinets and flooring but needed to stay under a certain budget as leaks are never planned. We reached out to Guilin Cabinets and were met with a quick response that met our budget. We learned that the turn-around time with Guilin Cabinets was quicker than any of the other big-box stores by months and the quality of their product was excellent. We expanded our kitchen to include an island and about a 50% more drawer space and cabinets. Guilin gave us the custom kitchen we always wanted which included quartz countertops. The installation of the cabinets and flooring went great and all of the staff were professional, knowledgable and very nice. We are extremely pleased with the results and would definitely recommend Guilin Cabinets.

Great customer service and follow through. Had an issue with my new floor that was not Guilin's fault. Had new LVT installed throughout the house. When it started to get hot and humid the floor started to buckle and the seams started to rise. So I had Brian come out and take a look and he immediately agreed that there was an issue. He called the manufacturer of the flooring and they came out to inspect the installation and flooring. The issue turned out to be that the floor required a vapor barrier. Normally you can lay down the LVT directly on the slab but there are cases like ours where a vapor barrier is required because we are an older house. Newer homes have a vapor barrier put down before the slab is poured to prevent any water vapor going through the slab. My house more than likely didn't have that done since it was built in 1979. Brian did not hesitate and had the vapor barrier and brand new flooring installed within a few weeks. This company is the real deal. No excuses just solutions from these guys.

I will get right down to the bottom-line regarding Guilin Cabinets and my experience with them over the past three months. They were one of three interviews I had with cabinet contractors, all ending up pretty much within the same price range for my kitchen/dining area renovation project. I will not go into why I didn't choose the other two but want to point out why I chose Guilin. No contest really. Denis Devlin from Guilin showed up at my door completely prepared to sell me his product, and he indeed did that (and I am not an easy sell). He looked at my 50-year-old kitchen, raised his eyebrows and rolled his eyes a bit, and then asked me what my vision was. I was very definite what I wanted, the cabinet type, sink type, counter tops, and backsplash material. Denis listened to every detail and sketched and wrote down everything as I described my dream kitchen, knowing I would most likely have to scale back on that dream somewhat. Surprisingly Denis said, "we can do that, no problem." He spent several hours at my house that day, measuring, writing things down, making design suggestions. I inquired about timeframe information as I knew that during these Covid years building materials were hard to come by. One contractor told me it could take up to three months just to get started on my project. "Not with Guilin," Denis said. "Guilin is a full-service company; we do our own cabinets and have inventory in place." I asked him about subcontractors, and he indicated that Guilin had their own staff of specialists in all the areas that I needed work done, so that was not a problem either. Pretty impressive I had to say! Denis indicated he would have a Plan drawn up in about a week and asked me to visit the Guilin showroom here in Irvine the next week. I agreed to do that and was pleasantly surprised that the Plan he showed me had been put on to a video; that is, my kitchen with all that I had requested looking beautiful and new. Pretty good sales tool for sure!! Not mentioned until now was the cost of all this, and I was expecting the worst; but the cost came in under my budget, an amount I had not shared with Denis. Almost too good to be true! I had no good reason not to go with Guilin. The next two weeks involved drawing up the plans, me approving them, etc. Then demolition happened, a job I was sure would take all day. That team was in and out in three hours, appliances all safely tucked away on the patio, covered, and protected. No mess to be seen, except a room with blank walls, and of course no functioning kitchen. Also, during that time various members of the Guilin Team on my project would come by the house, assess the layout and what their individual responsibilities would be. There is just no end to how impressive Guilin is during a very difficult time in our country where customer service is all but non-existent in many other companies!! It took three months to finish my kitchen, and I am loving all of it! It is beautiful! Yes, there were some time delays here and there, and a few hiccups. But there was never a time when I called or text that I did not immediately have a response. So truly I would like to thank of course "no pressure" Denis Devlin who knew he had a good product and took the time to make sure I knew it too. To Brian who took the reins and made sure things were kept on schedule as much as possible. To Billy (my favorite, I can't help it) who did so much more than just coordinate the project and was always available. To Hu, the magic cabinet maker, "strong as an ox!" It was amazing what this one man could accomplish in assembling and installing cabinets! To Jeff who ended up managing the project to the finish, frequently coming by to check up on the progress and taking care of any loose ends. Cannot forget those that were in the trenches, Berty, Edger, Robert, all dedicated part of the Guilin Team that made this beautiful kitchen a reality for me. Ryan coming today to finish up painting and last minute "stuff." I have to say it was a pleasure to have these men in my home, really seeming to enjoy what they were doing, all friendly and with good attitudes. Look no further if you want the best quality materials, the most efficient staff, a competitive price, tireless workers, and a Company that strives to give only the best service, makes no excuses and will fix what needs to be fixed when necessary. In my opinion one can do no better than the Guilin Group for any and all of your cabinet needs and more. Judi Roznos Irvine

Guilin Cabinets recently renovated our kitchen - installed new cabinets & countertop. They also did some minor work on our floors. Overall, we are happy with the remodel. It wasn't perfect (kitchen remodels are never easy) but the team at Guilin Cabinets worked with us to make sure we were satisfied. When we brought up issues along the way, they tried to their best to resolve it quickly. Their teams even worked 2 full Saturday's to make up for lost time. Toward the end of the project, they assigned Jeff as a project manager & he helped with communication. They also had Berty jump in & he helped with final adjustments and make sure it all came together. Thanks Guilin Cabinets!

Kitchen remodels.... why do they evoke such emotion? Theres a lot of fear at the cost, and expectations of what the end result is going to look like. Will it meet expectations? Will the contractor deliver? We felt the same. We looked and looked for a good cabinetmaker. I'm a yelper, so did the research. We had a few misses with those that promised, but failed; too expensive or just couldn't respond in a timely manner. Then we found Guilin. Wow. Not only did they have great quality, which was evident in their showroom, but their responsiveness beat everyone else. We found them competitive on price and importantly, as we were on a tight timeline, they assured us a quick install timeframe. We signed with them, refined the plans some more and waited to see what would happen. To say they exceeded our expectations is an understatement. We got a call from them while we were traveling in Europe to say they were running early and could have someone out to install the cabinets a week earlier than planned! Wow! Was a wonderful surprise to come home and find the kitchen mostly installed! And James was amazing. This one guy installed the whole thing, and it wasn't a small kitchen! Since then we've had the counters and appliances installed and we couldn't be happier. Sure, there were a few tiny things, adjustments etc that needed sorting out - there always is - but they sent someone out to fix them up quickly and we have a very modern new kitchen that we love! Outstanding work, team! You made a stressful event, seem so easy. We're just blown away with the quality and attention to detail. Thankyou Christian, Brian, James, the designers and everyone who made this a delight...and our kitchen the best! Thankyou!

Superior service from start to finish. Scott, Robert and workers made our experience a memorable one. Our project even came cheaper than quoted. They were on time each day and communicated every step of the way. We are extremely happy with our kitchen remodel. As such, we've referred them to our neighbors and friends. Don't think twice about choosing Guilin for your next project.

Given the minimal yelp and other web reviews, I was HIGHLY skeptical to use this company for our kitchen remodel. However, we were heavily attracted to the reasonable pricing and time estimates, as other companies quoted us more than $10-20k above Guilin's pricing. Once we saw the showroom and cabinet quality, I felt a little more at ease. The process had a few bumps along the way in terms of communication and professionalism. Its definitely not a 'structured' business model to say the least - but nothing a little internal training can't fix. (I.e. young, inexperienced sales rep; lack of internal communication (ex: had to resend our appliance models 4x etc.)). However, once we finally locked down our kitchen design and the GC, Brian, took over things, everything went pretty smoothly after that. Brian has a team of trusted workers that he would send over day-by-day. While the arrival time of workers was inconsistent, as an individual that works from home, it was a minor inconvenience for us since one of us was always around. The electrician assigned to our project was great, but would often stay until 8pm some days working late, which is a bit overbearing. Aside from that, big shout-out to the individual that installed ALL of the cabinets in a single day by himself - extremely impressed by his efficency. Also, do the under cabinet lighting.... its worth it! All that said, we're very happy with our kitchen. For the price we paid, we have thrilled with it. Its beautiful, functional, and exactly what we envisioned. Thank you Guilin and especially Brian.

As all of you know how difficult it is to find a good contractor / builder. As I was only looking for cabinet for my dining area I stumbled upon Guilin cabinets. When Brian and Cherrie came to do an estimate I found out they are also licensed contractor and builder ( over 30 years experience). Cherrie also took her time a show me 3D rendering of what my closets and cabinets would look like. So I decided to get my bathroom redone, closets redone, kitchen countertop replaced as well as installation of new lighting. Brian and the team was amazing, they did an amazing job of my space and did a lot of small touch up for me with no extra charge. I will continue to use them for future projects!

Moved into a new home and needed a custom build in for the living area. I had requested a quote from a few places and ultimately went with Guilin Cabinets because Brian is very responsive and offers a competitive price, along with more timely lead time for build and installation especially during this time when everything is so backed up. The process from design to installation was easy and I felt very taken care of in my needs and vision. Brian and the team were very patient and detailed, and created a perfect design. The installation was easy and Brian made sure I was happy with the end result. Thank you Brian and team for a great experience and perfect build in!

Love my new kitchen so much. Great quality work and extremely easy to work with. I love that they gave me a 3D design/ picture with the quote so I could visualize better what we discussed. Billy was on top of everything and in good communication throughout the whole project. They also worked around the company who did my new flooring. Definitely a great remodel experience. I am excited to use them for my master bath remodel as soon as I am ready.

I have only remodeled one other time. 10+ years ago. I work in real estate and hear horror stories of remodeling projects gone south. Most common theme's * resulting work ended up being more expensive than initial bid * shoddy work * lack of communication from the contractor and/or project manager *etc, etc After contacting 5 other companies, a few didnt respond, 2 gave me ridiculous bids. We found Billy. What a game changer & what a life saver. We started off with just my kitchen and bathroom. It turn into a full blown remodel. He is incredibly patient. Changed my mind on things a few times, last minute. Very, very reasonably priced. Thus why I went all out. When his wasnt able to handle a project. He quickly reached out and found people could. What really sold me was the follow through. Showed up when he said he would, price was within his initial guestimate. Workmanship was and has been top notch. The interesting thing is that they we where recommended by Builders Surplus in Santa Ana. Two of the contractors who gave us outrageous bids told us to get cabinets here. We got taking to the employees, they sent us here. Best recommendation ever!! *

Guilin Cabinets is a perfect balance of craftsmanship and service. We couldn't be happier with having stumbled across them. A kitchen remodel is a daunting task. And no matter what you imagine in your mind, the process is hardly a straight line. That being said, we couldn't be more pleased with choosing Guilin to give us our dream kitchen. Their attention to detail and meticulous intent to get things exactly as you'd want them, is second to none. They were easily the most thorough estimators we came across, with a great appreciation for the craft and an answer to every question. Billy was a monk with his patience to work with us and dial in every single detail we requested. He was always available and a pleasure to collaborate with; customer service incarnate. Brian orchestrated the entire buildout from top to bottom and as any savant would, he had a solution for everything. He was one of the most genuine people I've ever met in the field, with a lifetime of experience. The entire crew along the way were wonderful humans with a passion for what they did and an honest and pleasant demeanor. As stressful as the process is step by step, it was such a treat in hindsight working with them. For the ability to provide all the services you could need in a kitchen remodel, they were absolutely fair in their pricing and honest in their approach. You will not find a better deal for the quality and peace of mind anywhere else in Southern California. Trust me, we tried. You will get 10x your value out of your investment. You guys are the best. I'd recommend you to anyone. Call them. NOW.
