We chose Guilin Cabinets for our primary bathroom and closet renovation. They earn a well-deserved 4.8 stars, navigating some project hiccups with professionalism.
Their project management team was remarkable, quickly addressing issues and aligning the work with our vision. Despite delays from suppliers and minor installation errors like a misaligned freestanding tub faucet and low shower head, the team efficiently corrected these missteps.
The tile work was exceptional, and their swift action in fixing a minor custom closet issue was impressive. This responsiveness and commitment to quality really set them apart.
Though custom work brings challenges, Guilin Cabinets' ability to rectify issues and deliver a high-quality final product is commendable. We're delighted with our new bathroom and closet, reflecting their dedication to customer satisfaction.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

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.

Hello Ramon,
We apologize for the miscommunication. Our associate did go to the home but was confused and went to the wrong address. As discussed, we will be sending over another designer, who'll be available to do the complimentary consultation, to provide you with a quote.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.May 1, 2024Previous reviewI am looking to remodel my master bath and kitchen. I contacted them via the internet and scheduled an appointment on May 1st at 3:30. I received a call at about 10:45 asking if they could come earlier. We agreed to 1:00 pm. The sales representative said he would text me to confirm. At approximately 12:15 I text him since I did not hear from him. He text back asking if 1:30 would be ok and I agreed. At 2:00 pm no one had shown up. I text him to cancel the appointment. I felt that if they could not be on time for a consultation I would not be comfortable completing a renovation with them.
I received a text from the sales representative saying that he was at my home and met with my wife. I explained that I had been at home waiting for him and that don't have a wife. I have no idea who he met with and neither did he. While I could forgive a mistake... he did not offer I come right over only to make another appointment for the following day.
Very confusing. - Vinny M.Laguna Hills, CA64265Apr 25, 2024
Very unreliable, I've called and scheduled them to come out and fix my cabinet edge banding that was poorly installed by them and is now peeling off and they set a specific date and never end up showing up. This has now happened 3 times and I've been promised this will not ahppen again. I've yet to hear from them and my cabinets still require repair which is covered under the warranty they offer.

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.

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!

Thank you so much! This was a large project, and so many different people at Guilin had a hand in making it real, we are all so enthused to hear that you love it! A truly spectacular remodel! The kitchen the dining room, living room and the new massive Fleetwood door for that California room all turned out so wonderful!

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!

This is an unfortunate amendment to my review which was written as soon as the cabinets were installed, but 10 days before the appliances arrived. My original review was solicited by Guilin with a specific request to mention names of people on the team and a promise of gift cards (never materialized) for these mentions. The appliance installation was being done by professional installers from Pirch. The following sequence of events occured:
1.The appliance installers could not fit the 2 ovens in their enclosures. One oven sat a little too high and couldn't fully slide in. The other oven sat a little low so that its door couldn't fully open. The installers asked for Guilin to come back and adjust.
2. About 15 days later Edgar from Guilin came to fix the problem with the following results. The top oven looked good. The bottom oven was sticking out by about 1/2 inch. Edgar told me that this is how this oven is, and I just had to accept. But I looked at the specs of the oven and its depth was 2-4 inches less than the depth of the enclosure. I complained to Guilin, pointing out the fact that according to specs this was a flush-installation oven. Four days later I had to remind them about the problem, sent a copy of the specs (which they were supposed to have all along). Got the following response from Andrew: 'If [Edgar] said that's as far as it goes I will believe him. Sometimes the electrical conduit will be in the back and cause the oven to stick out a little bit, I don't recall where it was located since we didn't do the wiring. Our cabinet was built properly to spec
I send our guy to reinstall the ovens as a courtesy since we weren't responsible for any appliance/electrical'. Thus, Guilin was refusing the responsibility.
3. I got the Pirch installers to come back again and see if they could explain the problem. They circled the place on the installation diagram which illustrated what part of the cabinet enclosure was not up to specs. I reported this to Guilin with illustrations.
4. Eight days later Edgar came back. The proper fixing of the problem would have required too much disassembling. So he had to create cutouts in the existing cabinet walls. He did this for both ovens, because the top one was slightly protruding too, though not as much as the lower one. Now the ovens fit, and looked flush. I had to remind Edgar to cover any resulting gaps with pieces of matching wood. For the top oven, the wood plank to cover the gap was not long enough and left gaps on either side. I complained about this by calling several times and texting once, but never got a response.
This whole saga took 6 weeks. I now have the oven with this small imperfection, which happens to be at the eye level. I am shocked by the change in attitude on the part of Guilin. In ALL my communications I was courteous and factual.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Thank you so much! We love to hear the positive feedback for the team and are thrilled when our work is appreciated! Andrew, Jack, Billy and Christine make an excellent team along with all the installers and tradesmen they work with!
Nov 29, 2023Previous reviewGuilin built and installed beautiful kitchen cabinets for us. The result is excellent. The process was smooth and clear. If mishaps occurred, they were promptly corrected. The communication between me, the customer, and the team of 4 people working on the project was carried out via a group text created early on. The cabinets were ready on the date promised. Guilin stored the cabinets for us until we were ready to install. The installation by James was amazingly precise and meticulous. Andrew did incredible work coordinating the installation of the cabinet handles by phone and text in my absence. Everyone else, Jack, Christine, Billy and others, were a pleasure to work with.

I have tried to be patient, but today was the last straw I have let things go through all the mistakes, lies, no shows, no responses, and poor quality work (pretty much daily throughout the project). But the most important thing I wanted to protect our family was to put up plastic to keep the dust contained. With no warning, and 2 weeks past the promised completion date, they are doing demo (of poorly installed tile) and dust is going everywhere. They absolutely don't give a s#$t.
Also, they try to sell themselves as premium, but hire the cheapest people they can find. Will the work ever get done??Helpful 4Thanks 2Love this 1Oh no 3Business owner information

Hello LL, we are truly sorry that things got out of hand. We are very sorry the tile patch-job tile crew did not properly re-do the plastic before correcting the tile installation. I do hope that now that we’re done and you’ve had to time to enjoy the space, that the end product is everything you wanted it to be. If there is anything not to your liking, please reach out to me directly on Yelp or by phone at 949-510-7314 and we will address it.
