CSLB #1045801. ## What we do Cabinets and built-ins made to fit: measured on site, drawn first, installed by one crew. ## Who it's for Homeowners in San Dimas and nearby cities. Based in San Dimas. Projects up to about 100 miles out, depending on the scope. ## How the project goes 1. **You call or send the form.** You: Tell us the room and what bugs you about it. We: Dallas or his team reaches out to you directly. You get: A person, not a ticket number. A question is fine. You don't need a plan or a budget to call. 2. **The estimate conversation.** You: Tell us the room, your must-haves, and a budget range if you'd like to share one. We: Ask what you'd change if money were no object, and look at what we can see: panel, plumbing, ceiling, floors. You get: A straight answer on what's realistic, even if it's “this is too big for that budget.” 3. **Design and plan.** You: Pick a direction. Use the mood-board builder if you want to see looks first. We: Design is in-house. We draw it, price it, and list every material. You get: A plan you can read. 4. **Written, fixed-price quote.** You: Read it with a pen. We: Itemize it by phase. You get: One price in writing, plus a list of what's in and what's not. Details below. 5. **The full walkthrough, before you sign.** Dallas: Walks you through the whole project: order of work, who does what, what you'll live without and for how long, what decisions you owe us and by when. You: Ask everything. We: Answer, and change the plan if it's wrong. You get: No “we'll figure it out later.” 6. **Contract and permits.** The contract: Lists the work, the materials, the payment schedule, our license number and who pulls the permits. The law: The down payment can't be more than California allows. See your money. 7. **The build.** In order: Protect the house, demo, rough-in (plumbing, electrical, framing), inspections where the city requires them, close-up, finish work. Changes: Anything that changes goes through a written change order first. See how. 8. **Final walkthrough and punch list.** You: Walk every inch with Dallas. We: Fix what you flag. You get: Finished work that matches the plan. ## What the homeowner gets - A call from Dallas or his team - A look at your project - A written, fixed-price quote - Straight answers on timing and payments - Give you a fixed price in writing. - Write up any change and price it before the work. - Explain options and cost if we find a problem behind a wall. - Walk you through the whole project before it starts. - Pick up the phone. ## From the custom cabinets & millwork page Cabinets and millwork · San Dimas and nearby We measure your room, draw it first, and build it to fit the walls you actually have.

This is what you see. 4. 4 Drawer boxes and slides The part you touch every day. 5. 5 Hardware Hinges, pulls, soft-close. 6. 6 Finish Paint or stain, how many coats, and how it's applied. Ask any cabinet maker these six questions. We'll answer them in writing. Pick a room ## Any room has a wall that needs it. Our work ### Kitchen Perimeter cabinets, island, pantry wall. Millwork is the trim that finishes it: crown, base, casing, wainscot, mantels, beams. Blank wall How it works ## Measure, draw, build, install. 1. 1 **Measure** We measure the room, the walls, the plumbing and the outlets. Walls are rarely square, so we plan for that. 2. 2 **Draw** You see the layout and the details on paper before we build. You approve it. 3. 3 **Build** Your approved drawings become the cabinets, made to the measurements we took. 4. 4 **Install** Set, level, scribe to the wall, hang doors, adjust. Final walkthrough with you. Cabinets and interior trim alone are cosmetic work and exempt from a building permit in San Dimas. If the job moves plumbing, gas or electrical, those parts need permits. Honest comparison ## Custom isn't always the answer. Type What you choose What it fits Stock Standard sizes and styles. Fits when your walls are standard. Semi-custom Standard styles, more sizes and options. Fits most remodels. Custom Built to your measurements and design. Fits odd walls, built-ins and exact looks. We tell you straight if stock or semi-custom will do the job. Which do I need? Your money ## A written price, and changes in writing. ### Written price One fixed-price quote in writing before work starts. No surprise add-on fees. ### Down payment, by law California generally limits a down payment on a home improvement contract to $1,000 or 10% of the contract amount, whichever is less (Business and Professions Code section 7159.5). ### Changes in writing If something unexpected turns up, we stop, show you, price the options, and you decide in writing before we go on.
