Cabinet Magic, Inc.

I highly recommend Cabinet Magic for anyone interested in a kitchen remodel! We contracted with Cabinet Magic to create our dream kitchen in 2015. They offered a same day appointment which is when we met Lila, who was amazing. Having met with many other remodeling companies, we were growing tired of the design and sales «process.» Some only offered «standard» sized cabinets, some offered custom … but cost an arm & a leg.
Lila offered us a vision of our dream kitchen, and worked very hard to ensure we got the customization we wanted but for a budget we could afford. In fact, special kudos to Lila and her Management team for working hard to give us a great deal on a great kitchen. The ordering and manufacturing process was well managed (by Antonio), and the installation was incredible (kudos to Carlos, their master cabinet installer!). Everything was made custom for us, as a result we were able to maximize the storage and cabinet space in our kitchen. Pullouts, soft close drawers, lazy susan, beautiful (9ft) island with seating … you name it, they made it happen. Even the staining was done «in home» to ensure nothing was scratched in transit and that all shading looked the way we wanted.
Having gone through a previous kitchen remodel at our old home 10 years ago, which didn’t go well, you can imagine our concern with going through yet another kitchen remodel. I am very happy to say that Cabinet Magic was the RIGHT decision and I would highly recommend them for any kitchen project you are considering.

I am completely happy with my Cabinet Magic experience. They were responsive to my needs and made me feel as though they cared. Antonio and everyone else weren’t satisfied until I was. When I changed my mind or added features even at the 11^th hour, Cabinet Magic was very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. Every one of their workers was professional, experienced, hardworking, and personable. After witnessing all the labor of love that goes into remodeling a kitchen, I felt their prices were very reasonable. It all turned out better than I imagined!
I believe some customers may have experienced an unethical contractor who is the one who made it «look» like he was Cabinet Magic. When I complained to Cabinet Magic about him they sent a harshly worded e-​mail to that contractor, and that’s when I understood they were 2 distinctly different entities — night and day different. After I was able to unload that nightmare of a contractor and deal directly with Cabinet Magic my kitchen remodeling experience went smoothly as these sorts of things can.
My cabinets are beautiful inside and out. My friends rave about how the self-​closing
doors/​drawers. The pull out drawers in the pantry and those I added to cabinet also glide so smoothly. Now I can actually see what’s in my cabinets and will be able to better inventory what I have.
I love the quality of my custom made cabinets. I wanted hand-​painted cabinets, but had no idea how much work was involved in that. When they were first installed my kitchen smelled of fresh wood. The cabinets were subsequently primed and painted which took about 3 days to tape them up and paint them perfectly. The end product is a beautiful, smooth finish. I was surprised at every turn how much work it all was and how the workers all took pride in their craftsmanship. For example, my floor was uneven, so it needed extra cement underneath in order to make it perfectly smooth for which Ivan had to run out to buy after an already long day.
What I now know is Cabinet Magic is YOUR contractor; you definitely do not need anyone else complicating things. I had hired my own plumber to install gas and water lines. Ultimately, Cabinet Magic had to work around and modify the cabinets to get around my plumber’s work. It would have been easier, better, and more cost efficient to go directly through Cabinet Magic for ALL services related to the remodel. Once I figured that out, they we’re able to conveniently move around my electrical to adapt to my new layout and turned my old garbage disposal switch into a light switch for a light they put in above my sink. Regardless of headaches because of problems that popped up out of CM’s control, everyone was always positive and able to problem-​solve.

A little over a year ago we had a vision of redoing our 1970’s kitchen. It started with taking a wall down ourselves, and soon realizing we needed a professional to handle our kitchen. We’ve watched a lot of «do it yourself» TV shows and feared that there were more nightmare experiences awaiting us than good. After a lengthy amount of research, and feeling discouraged, we were lucky enough to be introduced to Mark Nubani at Cabinet Magic. Mark spent a lot of time explaining their design process, gave us a tour of their onsite cabinet shop, listened to us and then scheduled a visit to our home in person. He and Antonio came out to our home, took pictures and detailed measurements and a week later had a plan that included all of our wishes… they really listened. Upon us approving the plan, the team at Cabinet Magic provided us with a detailed timeline, what to expect (we lived in our home during most of the remodel), and ensured us of the plan every step of the way. I can’t say enough about the support team in the office: Milka, Joie and Francisco are «on their game». Our on site core team of Carlos, Antonio, Fernando, Martin, and Ruben were always professional, on time, respectful of our home and trustworthy. Their craftsmanship was highly detailed and impeccable. Mark and the team took our calls at all hours, promptly responded to our emails, guided us through selection of our finishes and made our experience in remodeling our kitchen a fantastic experience. Our project was completed in a reasonable timeframe and for the agreed budget. No surprises, no hidden agenda. The final kitchen design blew our minds. Every square inch of our kitchen is functional and well thought out. Quite simply — WE LOVE OUR KITCHEN! I find myself chatting with folks in Home Depot and Lowe’s and ultimately end up singing the praises of Cabinet Magic. I would recommend them time and time again! We look forward to working with them on our next project involving a master bed and bath addition. (5) Stars — highly recommend them!

This is my first Unilocal review, as I was inspired to write one after working with the team at Cabinet Magic. Hopefully this is payback to all the Unilocal reviews I myself benefit from and the time investment from people who write them.
I obtained quotes from 3 different companies and decided on Cabinet Magic because 1) the price 2) the reviews I read online were good 3) I like to support local businesses. After the quote, my husband wasn’t ready to pull the trigger on the budget yet, so I asked Lila, the sales rep, to check in with me again in 6 months. She followed up to the date, but was not the least aggressive about closing the sale. By that time, we were ready to go. Lila came out again to confirm the details and I showed her a photo of the look I was going for. It was different than current trends and ended up taking some work to make fit with our initial quote. However, Lila called different companies and brought me several samples to make sure that I was happy with the choice. I initially thought I would resurface the cabinets, but it ended up being a better decision to rebuild entirely and they made the cost difference manageable. Any question I had, Lila would respond back literally within the hour. I repeatedly heard, «we want to make sure you love your kitchen.» I’m guessing it must be their mission statement because they did not give up on finding the right material for me and it took several months. Because it took so long, they then had to rush the build so I have the kitchen done before the year end. I appreciated that since it really wasn’t their fault it took longer.
Antonio worked with us on the design. He came up with a new design for the island that makes it more functional. He made sure again, that we were completely happy with the layout. He even had all the cabinets installed and waited on the island to make sure the dimensions worked in real life, and that meant he had to rush his builders to have it built the next day. The level of professionalism and attention to detail embodies everyone who works there.
Freddie did the installation on the cabinets and he is a perfectionist. I really appreciated that he took the time to make sure they were perfect. And having someone in your home for so many days, he was a pleasure to work with. The cabinets are very streamlined and any imperfection in how they are hung would have looked exaggerated because there is nothing to distract from the straight lines. So while a more complicated project, Freddie did a perfect job and I’m very grateful.
The countertops were last, and a few days later I noticed a scratch on one of them. I called Antonio and he had the guys out to fix it. Unfortunately I was unhappy with how it was buffed out because you could see the lines when the light reflected on it. I emailed Antonio and he had the guys out again. They ended up taking the countertop off the island to try and buff out in their shop where they could use more water in the process. That didn’t solve it, so they ended up giving me an entirely brand new piece! Wow, how’s that for exceptional service?!
My kitchen is done and Cabinet Magic made sure that I LOVE my kitchen. It came out exactly how I wanted. I didn’t have to settle on one thing. And it’s more functional, love all the drawers and how deep they are, and the soft close hinges on everything. It’s perfect.
I really appreciate the team at Cabinet Magic! I strongly recommend them, for their competitive price, their talented design team and their satisfaction guarantee.

They called yesterday 01/​12/​2016 to confirmed my appointment today at 11am… No one showed up. not even a phone call. I called them up, Francisco said yesterday it was the owner will come to give me an estimate, now he said another person supposed to come but he didn’t get the message. They are full of magic… Liars and incompetent … DON’T HIRE THEM TO DO YOUR CUSTOM CABINETS!!!

I had high expectations of this place. The showroom looks great with tons of beautiful cabinets, and when we first walked in the customer service was quick and friendly. We set up a home estimate with Lila for our kitchen remodel, and when she came she was highly knowledgeable and helpful.
And that was essentially the end of it.
Lila told us we’d have an estimate before Thanksgiving. Well we didn’t get it, and when we texted her after the long weekend she said something unexpected had come up. That’s fine, we weren’t in any particular rush, and we understood things happen. She said the estimate would come next week. It is now a month since she came to our house. We don’t have an estimate. She doesn’t answer any texts or emails. When we call Cabinet Magic (3 times!) we get a «we’ll look into it, we don’t know why she isn’t answering» with absolutely no followup. (And just a tip for you guys, having the nearly deaf Abe answer the phone is probably not the best idea, although we only got him once). If this is the kind of response we get just trying to get an estimate, imagine the kind of service that follows with an actual job!
So thanks Cabinet Magic, but no thanks. If you’re not interested in our job, at least have the courtesy to not waste our time. There’s too many other contractors out there to settle for one with such poor communication.

Cabinet magic i have used this company now twice. The Cabinet refacing they did at my home was done with the most care and proficiency. They set appointments were on time and took lots of care to work clean. Every teck. that was here knew there stuff i‘m very pleased with all there work i highly recommend there company. I will use them again in the future for any other projects that may arise. Pricing, i have had 3 other estimates and Cabinet Magic blew them out of the ballpark. Thank You guys and gals at Cabinet Magic

Good salesmanship — — –but thats all. Don’t do the e-​mail quotes or send them any information It does not work I asked for an in home quote, and a week later got an e-​mail saying, «I don’t know how I missed this, but». I went to another company, and got great service

i’m going to do this review in stages based on each experience! last week, my hubby and i went in to check out cabinets and to get a quote. when we walked in, abe was the first person to greet us! (i kept thinking, oh no! it’s the guy from the bad reviews!) he was AWESOME! yes, he is hard of hearing – nothing eye contact and talking louder cannot fix! he and francisco both gave us great recommendations! abe, listened to everything we said, introduced us to almost all the staff, showed us where the cabinets were built! not once did we feel he was condescending or rude. (i love old people so maybe i am biased!!) he came out to our house 2 days later, measured everything, got a feel for what we want and gave us a good, fair price. we just went in yesterday and signed contracts to begin a $ 45k kitchen! it will include hardwood floors, solid maple cabinets, silestone, and new laundry room as well! he quoted us 6 weeks without a kitchen! based on the quote, he has left nothing out! i cannot wait to start!

I got a quote from several companies, but eventually decided to go with Cabinet Magic. The installation team was very professional, caring of my home in that they covered everything and when the installer left every day, he cleaned up, putaway his tools and made sure that he and I had a walk through to talk about progress. He also kept me abreast of issues. There were a few issues:
1. wrong size doors were manufactured
2. wrong door glass fronts were ordered
3. when the glass doors arrived, one of them was still wrong
4. I was told that my Korbels and fire place mantel will be stained to a 80% match but the stainer was telling me something else and the designer was telling me something else.
I would consider using them again but this time I will make 100% sure that everything that is agreed upon is in the contract and so should you.
I am happy with the results though and do believe that iCabinet Magic has the potential to become a leader in this space.

HORRIBLE!!! TERRIBLE!!! ROTTEN!!!-OWNER
First, I spoke to two different representatives before I drove 40 minutes to get there. I asked if they just sell the cabinets as my husband would be installing them. They said yes. Ok so I drive there. I walk around the small showroom for about 15 minutes while two men sat in their offices. Finally, a man comes out and ask me what I’m looking for etc. All the while I am talking to him. I am thinking this man is arrogant and has an attitude. A bad attitude along with his creepy roaming eyes (if you get my drift). He keeps telling me he is the OWNER and kind of bragging in a non professional way. At this time, I am asking myself is the man I read about on Unilocal that someone else complained about? Hmm, as he continues to talk; I am telling myself yes this is him. He was acting like an arrogant Jerk. In my mind I am thinking of walking out then. However, I stayed to see if he got better. No he didn’t. I explained to him that my husband is going to install the cabinets. Then he says well we are custom you can’t buy them here. I stated that 2 reps already told me yes they do just sell cabinets. I stated I drove a ways to get there. Then the owner continues to brag about how busy he is. He says ok get your measurements from your car and I will look at them. (like he thought he was doing me a favor) I told him they are just rough measurements and you won’t be able to do an estimate off them. He says get them anyways. So I did. I bring it into his office he looks at them and his (OWNER’S) EXACT WORDS were «THIS IS JUNK, GET OUT OF HERE and TAKE YOUR MONEY and BUSINESS AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, WE DON’T WANT YOU HERE”-OWNER’S EXACT WORDS– I immediately left. In my five decades of life this was the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED!!! I HAVE NEVER BEEN TREATED SO BAD BY ANY BUSINESS LIKE THIS. The OWNER of Cabinet Magic is RUDE, MEAN, UNPROFESSIONAL and ARROGANT! I am glad I am not buying from Cabinet Magic! Please don’t reply with he is just old and senile. That is no excuse. How sad that a man turned out like that at his age. I feel sorry for people that had to live with this man. For customers looking for a company to install a kitchen I went to Mr. Cabinet Care yesterday and even though they only do custom installation kitchens they were so polite and professional to me and their product looked impeccable. Go to a company that values customers. Who cares if you built a business but turned out to be a RUDE OLD MEAN BITTER MAN. (Owner-​Abe) PLEASE DO NOT GO TO CABINET MAGIC the OWNER IS A HORRIBLE RUDE MAN. THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER is at CM!!!

This is a great place for your kitchen. I bought a kitchen 5 years ago in my last house. It increased my value of my home more than I paid for the kitchen. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Here we go again with my next house. Great quality for the price.

About as good as it gets. Excellent kitchen remodeling. Could not be happier with both product and service. Had a complete 50 year old kitchen replaced. Down to bare walls and back up to a show piece. Added and island and ceiling lights as well as floor tile. Even had laundry room resurfaced. Employees were excellent craftsman and very friendly. All trash was removed and when job was completed we had nothing to do but enjoy it.

What a great place for all your kitchen needs. We got the flooring, cabinets, and backsplash done all in one place. Mark the owner was a great help with his design ideas. The quality of the cabinets are top quality and you wouldn’t know it based on what they charged me. Thanks again for all your help. Now I’m ready to entertain!

Went in to look at Silestone for kitchen counters. Abe sat us down in his office. Said he had been in the business for 24 years and he knew best. That might be, but we still had questions. He wouldn’t listen or answer any of them. Said it was their way or not at all. Okay fine, but we still had questions and he wouldn’t give any answers. He just kept getting annoyed with us and my husband was getting annoyed with him as he wouldn’t listen to us. Finally, he gets up from his desk pushes his chair back and actually screaming at the top of his lungs, says, «GET OUT OF HERE, WE CAN“T DO BUSINESS, GET OUT OF HERE AND DON’T COME BACK.» I mean the man was screaming at us!!! I just looked at my husband and said, «I don’t believe this.» We got up and left and he was yelling at us out the door. We sat in the car dumfounded. We have never been treated by anyone anywhere like that. I personally couldn’t get out of there fast enough, the man was scaring me. I wouldn’t recommend or buy one single thing from this company, ever! It’s been a day since we were there and I still can’t believe the treatment! So much for customer service there!!! The old man needs to retire if he can’t handle it!!!

Abe and Mark are a class act. I had my kitchen intalled in February. Cabinet Magic did the entire kitchen from ceiling to floor. They gave me a decent price. customer service was top notch. The new kitchen is beautiful. Happy customer.
