Quesco Cabinets

Good quality but terrible service. We got very expensive custom cabinets from them and they measured incorrectly and then refused to fix their mistakes. Their own guy came out to measure. It was out contractor who helped fix the issues caused. Quesco refused to take responsibility. If you’re looking for custom go elsewhere.

This 5 star plus review is long overdue! Service, attention to detail and professionalism are truly what make this place special. Claudia is extremely knowledgeable, patient and just a wonderful person to work with. Todd is very service oriented, will pick the phone even on holidays ready to help and answers questions. Getting your cabinets at Quesco is a stress free experience. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.

In August, we were looking for cabinets for our kitchen remodel. I saw Quesco Cabinets on Unilocal and liked they had a lot of variety of product to choose from. We were originally interested in bamboo, but they told us quality not good. They had a huge wall of samples to choose from.
After deciding, Claudia was very friendly, knowledgable, and efficient of what we wanted done. The pricing was on our higher died, but we wanted good quality cabinets.
Todd came to our condo to take final measurements. He was on time, friendly, very knowledgable, very efficient! He was done in less than one hour.
Our cabinets were complete in 3 – 4 weeks and were delivered and unloaded by only one employee. He had to unload some pretty large boxes.
It took another month for our contractor to install our cabinets. Our install was completed with no problems with cabinets fitting. We have heard of horror stories.
We highly recommend Quesco Cabinets for your kitchen remodel. Very friendly, very efficient, & very knowledgable.

5 STARS & a great resource. Quesco Cabinets has been around for years. The staff is well trained and knowledgeable on cabinet styles and features. I worked on many kitchen and bath projects with Todd. They utilize the ²⁰⁄₂₀ software for 3-​D viewing to help those with difficulty visualizing. This company is well established with a good reputation, product and competitive pricing. And… The Countertop Store is next Door!

The service provided by Quesco was excellent. We purchased cabinets for the entire kitchen, master bathroom, powder room, family room and assorted linen closets.
Todd the owner has a great deal of experience in the construction industry as well as the cabinet world and brought some good advise to the table. Todd came to our home and measured everything.
Maria was so good. Her practical approach, constructive suggestions and eye to the overall design was invaluable to the process of selecting and designing each room. We had a very clear vision of what we wanted and she helped us to achieve that end point.
She responded to emails and telephone calls promptly.
Quescos price was very competitive. Todd suggested ways to save us money by doing things a little differently and that worked for us.
Quesco stored all the cabinets for us for over a month due to construction hold ups with no problems. Delivery was scheduled and the guy that delivered worked extremely hard helping us get the cabinets into our house.
We totally recommend Quesco in San Carlos for cabinets, and Maria for her design skills, good humor and can do attitude.

My husband and I worked with Claudia from Quesco and was really impressed by her expertise and professionalism. She gently discouraged me to spend too much money on non-​useful features and helped us choose something that was modern yet timeless and fell within our budget.
Would go there again!

We found Quesco on a fluke while driving around and man am I glad we did. These folks were awesome to work with. I’d never done a kitchen remodel before and Todd and Claudia answered all my questions, worked up designs, made suggestions, and so on. They work closely with the Countertop Store next door so it was really a hassle free experience even though we were dealing with two separate companies. The service is great, the price is great (they do semi-​custom cabinetry), they’d tell us when to NOT buy something because it was over priced, and so on. We’ve now got a gorgeous new kitchen. If you’re looking at a kitchen remodel, definitely check these folks out. We interview about a dozen places before Quesco and are certain we went with the right company.

We did an entire kitchen remodel and went to Quesco in part, because of their Unilocal review. I was lucky enough to meet the owner on our initial visit. He talked us through the pros and cons of different cabinet types and I was sold from the start. His initial quote was 25% less than similar stores. More importantly, Quesco saved us money with helpful advice (e.g., don’t buy the glass from the cabinet manufacture) and were very involved in the planning layout process.
The cabinets were delivered ahead of schedule but Quesco kept them in their warehouse until our contractor was ready for them. It turned out that one of the doors was scratched and Quesco immediately ordered a replacement. They also worked with our contractor to ensure that the custom wood paneled hood was a proper fit for the remote liner/​blower we were installing.
One additional plus, there’s a counter top store right next door to Quesco (
) that’s very convenient. In addition to the solid surface counters they have on display, they are granite fabricators — we bought our slabs at another store and had them do all the work. I highly recommend both businesses.

We had an excellent experience with Quesco. Their staff is very knowledgeable and accomodating, and their product (Dynasty) is of high quality. Claudia was very good at generating designs, and was very patient as we went through 3 – 4 versions until we settled on the best arrangement for us. She & Todd offered very good advice about what works, & what doesn’t. Quesco’s software is very powerful, enabling one to visualize the design from a number of angles & perspectives.
The cabinets arrived just when promised. They’re beautiful, and they’re truly high-​quality cabinetry (for a very reasonable price). They’ve definitely stood by their product — when we discovered one very small (factory) flaw in a door, Quesco immediately ordered a replacement, with no questions asked — & had the door express mailed to our home. We are very pleased with our dealings with Quesco. They’re knowledgeable, customer-​oriented, and very responsive. I’d strongly recommend them.

I went to Quesco to find out about their products and pricing for a kitchen remodel on a Saturday. There was only one person working there at the time, and he was not very helpful or knowledgeable. I felt like we had to drag information and details out of him, and we walked away not knowing very much at all about their products. He didn’t seem like he really cared and was just there to pass the time. Now the guy keeps calling to see if I want to go with his quote.

We recently purchased our new kitchen cabinets from Quesco. We couldn’t be happier with them. They gave us A+ service from day one. We shopped at a bunch of places before deciding to go with Quesco’s Dynasty cabinets. When our cabinets were installed, we noticed that the large oven cabinet came scratched at one of the bottom corners. We e-​mailed some photos to Quesco and they ordered us a replacement cabinet. No fuss no muss.
Delivery of the replacement cabinet was delayed on the manufacturer’s end. This was not Quesco’s fault. In fact, they moved heaven and earth to try and get us the replacement cabinet delivered before Thanksgiving so that we would have a fully working kitchen for Thanksgiving. The cabinet came in on the Monday before Thanksgiving and they had the cabinet on their truck the same day and delivered the cabinet to my contractor who ended up installing the cabinet and all our appliances on Wednesday so that we had a kitchen over Thanksgiving. YAY!
We later discovered one upper cabinet came with doors that were slightly warped. Quesco ordered replacement doors and they were delivered right away.
We love our Dynasty cabinets. They’re beautiful, great quality and service from Quesco could not have been better. Don’t underestimate the importance of great service when you order your kitchen cabinets. It matters.
Huge thanks to everyone at Quesco for making our kitchen renovation such a success!

The team at Quesco is awesome. Very patient, helpful, honest and kind. My contractor recommended Quesco to me and I am very grateful!

My kitchen cabinets that I bought at Quesco Cabinets are as beautiful as the day I bought them… Not one to rush into reviewing something, I bought my cabinets about 3 years ago. the whole process was fairly easy. The designers there are fun and knowledgeable to work with. The decisions of which ones are hard, but, they helped me along and made all the correct suggestion’s. now, living with them, and the kitchen lay out, I could not be happier. I have enough cabinets to function easily and they look amazing… Great Job Quesco Cabinet…

My husband and I went into Quesco and talked with their salesperson who showed us all their various lines of products and drew up a rough CAD kitchen design for us based on my measurements.
The primary problem is that Kraftsmaid products are of very poor quality and made in China. Kraftsmaid cabinets are not well made the side and bottom of the boxes often don’t fit tight or even or level.

I love my new cabinets! The girls at Quesco were so much fun to work with. I brought my layout to them, and Maria took me in right away. I sat down with her and she had my plan in the system in less then 15 min. I couldn’t believe how quick and efficient she worked. She was very good and explaining all the different styles and colors along with all the extras inside the cabinets. They have a beautiful showroom, and this long wall of doors. The prices were very competative, and the customer service was great.

This is a preliminary review — I have not purchased my cabinets yet.
I have been to several cabinet/​kitchen stores over the last months due to an extensive remodel my husband and I are just about to start. For most of the remodel trim items I understand what I am looking for in price vs. quality — i.e. fixtures, tile, hardwood floors, etc. However, with cabinets I had no idea how price was determined and how to know what I was really paying for After extensive research I found out you are paying for the following:
1. Level of Customization — do they build the cabinets by hand upon order in a warehouse in East Michigan or are they sitting on a shelf ready to be shipped
2. Carcases/​boxes — what is the body made of… you pay more for solid wood, most are plywood, particle board is BAD. You want something that will not warp with hot/​cold fluctuations and if it gets really wet it will not swell and be ruined
3. Type of Wood for the doors — Alder is the cheapest (also the softest) goes up from there with Maple, Cherry, Red Birch etc. i. e the type of wood can add 8%, 10%, 20%. Almost everyone agrees you want solid wood doors and not plywood or particle board. If you are looking at veneer then you have to determine how he veneer was applied, etc.
4. Door — flat slabs are the cheapest — the more cuts, bevels and details you have add cost. Shaker is considered a transition door, not as modern as slab, but not as «country» as the others
5. Dove tail and solid wood pull outs and inserts will cost you more than glued drawers. As with most wood furniture dove tail joints are better
Other than that they are all pretty much the same on handles, draw slides, full pull-​out vs ¾ pull out, soft stop and hinges.
My builder recommends the Dynasty line of cabinets by Omega. Basically the middle of the road. This is what I think we are going to go with. He has installed them in million dollar homes in Los Altos and Palo Alto and homes with little kids. Seems like kids defacto standard in determining «quality» — i. e can a kid throw a can good at this door and will it not dent or scratch :-) Since we are starting from scratch we do not require customized cabinets and we are probably going with either a Maple, Birch or Cherry finish. Pecan is the hardest but I do not like the grain (too country for our modern home)
The cabinets at Quesco seemed great and just as good of quality as the higher priced cabinets at Atherton Appliance — at Atherton you are paying for the higher cost of custom or semi-​custom cabinets.
The net net if you can go with STOCK cabinets you are not losing out on quality only on the variety of customization.
I highly recommend visiting Quesco Cabinets if you are searching for new kitchen or bathroom cabinets. I didn’t feel dirty. The staff was extremely friendly, not pushing, helpful, educated on cabinets, the store was clean and laid out nicely, and the are directly adjacent to the stone store-​and by adjacent I mean they share an interior door and I didn’t even realize I walked into the counter top store. This is an added bonsu. If you buy your stone from the counter top store and your cabinets from Quesco they work together so you don’t have those issues where the stone and cabinets do not line up at time of install. And if you do have issues they will work together to fix it and you won’t have to determine whose «fault» it was.
Steps to picking out cabinets no matter what brand you go with
1. Pick a door style — slab, shaker, transition, etc.
2. Pick a wood — Alder, Pecan, Cherry, Maple, Birch, Teak, etc. Alder is the softest, Pecan is the hardest and Cherry & Maple are the most popular (you can also have them painted)
3. Pick a stain (doesn’t determine price)
4. Layout your kitchen design — try to go with standard sizes and styles to avoid any customization costs. And by customization I mean you want any standard size that is either 24, 27, 30″ etc. Most cabinets are every 3″ (width) and they all have pretty standard depths. They can even add filler to stock cabinets if you need to fit cabinets into a non standard width.
5. Pick out inserts, door hinge locations, etc.
6.With some cabinets you can upgrade your carcases from plywood to solid wood, but that is an extra cost. I personally don’t think you need solid wood carcases because it will swell/​shrink with temp changes.
Good Luck!

Going to Quesco is like going to a used car lot. I feel dirty having been in there for an hour. First, there’s no prices here. They only do complete quotes. You can’t even get them to price out one standard unit. Instead, they have «price categories.» It ranges from 1 to 10. 10, being most expensive. How does that equate to reality? I have no idea. All I wanted to know is whether or not the cabinets that I like would be in my price range before I waste their time and my time setting up an appointment to design an entire kitchen.

Quesco Cabinets sells stock cabinets from Kraftmaid’s Diamond and Omega lines at a great discount. We used Quesco for our bathroom cabinets. The space was very tight. They managed to fit a lot of storage in without running afoul of San Carlos’ code requirements. The cabinets came in right on time and the price was terrific.
