Byron came out today to take measurements and help make a solution for our hamper and drawers and we couldn’t be happier. Wow were we impressed with his product knowledge. It says a lot when someone has been with a company for over 30 years. It shows. Such a great company to work with!

Kim assisted us in planning and designing. She did an outstanding job and worked hard to take care of our walk in closet. The materials and finished product were exactly what we expected. The 2 gentleman who installed cabinets also did a remarkable job and should be recognized as top employee's who take pride in their work.

I needed storage and I decided on built in cabinets and drawers. Originally, I was going to get quotes from a few vendors, but Kamil at California Closets was such a joy to work with and put together a design exactly what I wanted that I just decided to go with Kamil. I love the fact their showroom is close by so I was able to see and touch various drawer/shelf configurations. I also had cabinets/shelves built in a smaller room. California Closets is very professional and made me feel secure in my decision. Their communication during the process from beginning to end is much appreciated. The installers were fabulous and did a fantastic job. I absolutely love the results!

We greatly appreciate your positive feedback and are thrilled to hear that you love the results of your built-in cabinets and drawers. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

My wife and I went to California Closets in Palm Desert intending to convert our guest bedroom into a home office. We made the appointment, and designer Matius Barrionuevo came to our house the following day to look at the space. We described what we wanted; floor to ceiling bookshelves and cabinets with a wraparound countertop, desk and drawers. Matius took measurements, showed us some wood and paint samples, and said he’d be in touch by email in a few days. What he emailed was amazing! Using computer software, Matius created schematic diagrams with measurements and visual renderings in multiple angles, including a rotational 3D image of the room that showed us exactly what our office would look like. It was exactly what we had in mind! We went to Matius’ office the next day for a presentation. Using his computer connected to a big screen TV, the software enabled us to see other options Matius had created for the bookshelves and to make choices on the fly, such as type of wood, paint color, and style of cabinet doors. After a couple of hours we saw our home office fully designed and priced. We decided to go ahead with a contract. In six weeks, Rodrigo came with his crew. They installed the office perfectly in one day! They were fast and clean. We arranged the books on the shelves and equipment on the desk. A week later, Matius came back with Fabian and drilled holes with grommets, and invisibly ran the wiring. The entire California Closets experience was fun and stress-free. We highly recommend them. A special shout-out to Matius, who stayed on top of the project from start to finish.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re thrilled that Matius and the installation team brought your home office vision to life and made the process fun and stress-free. We’ll be sure to share your kind recognition with the team.
