Boyar’s Kitchen Cabinets

Our «new» cabinets are beautiful! We are so pleased with the work that Hector and Hector did. It was a pleasure to find craftsmen that obviously take pride in their work and know what they’re doing. They did a wonderful job. From start to finish it was a very satisfactory project. The kitchen looks like new and I couldn’t be happier.

Over a year ago, I wrote a Unilocal review that put Boyer Cabinetry in a moderate category; the product was very good but at that time, customer services was marginal. I have come to regret my review as subsequent to writing it, we have received nothing but great service from Melissa Perez. After having our cabinets refaced, we needed to get new appliances. The fit was a bit off with an opening above the microwave. We decided to put a drawer in that spot and called Melissa to see if one could be made and matched to the existing cabinets. She responded quickly and in no time the drawer was installed. We are very grateful and will definitely recommend them and use their services again when the time comes.

WOW! What an amazing transformation! Our outdated kitchen with maple cabinets was updated with bright white cabinets with Boyar’s refacing technique. Anyone thinking of doing this, should do it!!!
The professional transformation took 1 week and now we have a kitchen that we are proud of and will be glad to show off to our friends and family. Our installer, Tony is a personable, professional cabinet installer who took great pride in his work and every single detail. He told us what time we should expect him daily and he arrived on time everyday. He cleaned up daily and made sure that everything was taken care of daily.
Boyar’s installed Blum soft close hardware, refaced existing cabinets, added new cabinets and a frame box enclosure for our refrigerator which added more counter space, storage and the overall look and function of our kitchen.
I cannot say enough about the entire experience as they exceeded my expectations in every area. The office staff followed up to phone calls and the Design Consultant, John Demko always returned my calls in a timely fashion.
Thanks again for an exceptional job well done and keep transforming beautiful and functional kitchens!!!

Just had the finishing touches put on my beautiful, new Boyar’s kitchen, and I couldn’t be happier! A wonderful experience from beginning to end. Melissa was such a pleasure to work with. She said in the very beginning that they are not the least expensive, but they don’t cut corners and definitely go above and beyond to make sure we get the best job and exactly what we want. And she wasn’t kidding. She was so patient with me, and offered me so many different options and ideas until I had exactly what I had dreamed of. And within our budget! I met the production manager, Chris, at the showroom, and he was so nice, and took the time to walk me through everything, and let me know what to expect every step of the way. The installers were very courteous and efficient as well, and did a wonderful job. The bathrooms are next, and I will definitely be calling Boyar’s Thank you guys!

We recently had Boyars Kitchen Cabinets do a project for us. We had our cabinets refaced. We are extremely pleased with the final project, and really the entire process. We responded to an ad from a mailer we receive monthly. Something we would not normally do. We did the standard «get 3 estimates» but that was really a waste of time. The other 2 companies barely responded and the estimates were much higher. We went with Boyars for the price, selection, and great customer service we received and anticipated throughout the project. Melissa the sales rep was punctual, polite, and very informative/​helpful. Everything she promised would happen, did happen. We have had many projects take place in our house and we know all the ins and outs. There were no real issues, that were not addressed or solved immediately. The attention to detail was great. The workers were clean and respectful. We have small children and the crew was able to keep the work environment safe and clean at all times. The project was completed in the time that it was promised, which is rare these days. I would highly suggest that if you are considering cabinet work to call Boyars first!

Boyar’s did an amazing job. Our initial consultation with John proved that he is knowledgable, helpful and very respectful of our budget. He was also very patient as we debated the various stain colors.
We had our kitchen, two bathrooms & two entertainment centers refaced. Jerry installed everything & did an amazing job. He was meticulous &, undoubtedly, a perfectionist. The cabinets turned out beautiful !
It was truly a pleasure to work with Boyar’s, and I couldn’t be happier with the result.

For the most part I was very pleased with Boyar’s. They were very professional, offered quality service and a variety of colors and grains to choose. Everything was done in a timely manner, which was a nice bonus from the horror stories I had heard from friends.
My big disappointment was the pull out shelves for pots, pans, baking pans, etc.
Since the cabinets were to be refaced, they used a ready made, standard pre-​sized drawers. There is quite a bit of wasted space now. I am very disappointed not to have as much room as before.
The sales rep did not mention if any other option was available. In hindsight, I would have gladly paid more to have more upgraded pull-​out shelves in stead of these little ones.
Too late now!

Beautiful kitchen remodel. They were on time, on schedule, professional, and had the best sub-​contractors. Melissa was amazing with design ideas! She knew what I wanted better than I did.

Saw an advertisement in the news paper for kitchen and cabinets. Ok, let’s go for it.
Had the estimator come out, write it up and everything looked good. Said we had nothing to worry about, everything would be taken care of.
*Work was supposed to start January 22^nd.
Work started February 19^th.
*Kitchen cabinets resurfaced painted and new hardware.
Hardware not level and I didn’t know you could reuse old wood to patch up new work?
*project manager unorganized. Very poor communication.
*When EVERYTHING is included on the estimate, estimate yourself to get more charges. Super annoying.
*Had our credit card charged for full complete work. Found this out when We got an alert for a charge on my credit card company. Thumbs up guys. Work incomplete. Charged the full amount. Wow.
*Contractors/​workers had an attitude. But if you hate your job, we understand.
It’s now March 5^th, still incomplete.
Take this information to your next estimate. Good luck.

According to the reply from the business Below «Melissa» states that she does not have me as a client. Correct, she has my mother who does not have a Unilocal account. (which is why this was written in the first place.
Rather than owning up to their work ethic and craftsmanship that was reflected in my «mothers» home, which I reside in when I am not in «Los Angeles», the company simply states they do not «paint «or offer services in Los Angeles. Well Melissa, the work was done in Chula Vista. You wont have me as a client, and the gentleman who came over to the house asked to remove this review, yet I believe it only deserves an update.
before this escalates or you want to deny that I am a not a client, I only hope this will shed light on the poor quality of how your company does work, treats their customers and handles issues that arise in everyday contracting.
Again if its not on the contract you wont get it. If your not based in San Diego, you’re not a client of theirs. I think this review fully speaks for itself.
Have a great day Melissa, all the best.
PS
The work is still not completed. 03/​22/​2016

Who isn’t a little nervous when they have to hire a company, they don’t know, to work on their house. I was when I met with John Demko, Design Consultant for Boyar’s Kitchen Cabinets. John was 100% positive I would love the work their company produces. He was absolutely right. Humberto and Eddie (installers) did an incredible refacing job on two of my bathrooms. Being a perfectionist, I should know. Because I took John’s advise and painted the inside of the cabinets an off white color, my cabinets look as if they were just removed from a box. You would never know they were refaced. On top of all that, John was available every time I called him, both before and after signing a contract. The office staff out performed most company’s I have dealt with in the past. I would definitely Deal with them again.

My wife and and could not be more delighted with the cabinet refacing Boyar’s performed in our kitchen and bathrooms. Their team are meticulous, highly skilled craftsman and left no detail undone. The workmanship and outcome was terrific. The cabinet door hinges and drawer slides exceeded our expectation and the cabinet finish is flawless. Additionally, the craftsmen were true gentlemen and were a genuine pleasure to have in our home. We are glad we made the decision to utilize Boyar’s for this work.

I am so glad I went with Boyars for refacing instead of buying new cabinets. Our cabinet boxes themselves were still sturdy so there was no need to replace them and create more junk in the landfill. And it saved me thousands of dollars. From the time I visited their office to the end of the project everything went smoothly. Melissa was the salesperson who came out and discussed options and pricing with me. I liked that she was able to give me the quote on the spot and didn’t make me wait until she got back to the office. It was a busy time of year, leading right up to the holidays, but they scheduled my countertops before Christmas and the cabinets immediately after, the soonest possible according to what they already had booked.
The installer, Jerry, was very professional and also personable, which is always a nice bonus. He took a lot of care and it was obvious that he had high standards for his work.
A few days after the install was finished, I noticed a dent on the edge of one of the cabinet doors. I had a lot of doors installed, 20+ so I hadn’t seen it right away. I emailed Melissa and although she was out, someone else from the office got right back to me and within a couple of days had come out, retrieved the door, and took it back to the shop to fix it. That was late last week and today he brought it back, good as new. That was a good test of their customer service, since sometimes you don’t know how a company will respond once a job is finished and they’ve cashed your check (or processed your card).

Boyar’s did a fantastic job on my kitchen and two bathrooms. John Demko was very pleasant and patient with helping me make my decisions and always answered my phone calls and took care of what I was calling about. My cabinets were all refaced and Jerry and Eddie did a GREAT job. Not only was their work exceptional, their personalities and professionalism was super. Very careful not to nick your walls, etc. and cleaned up every night before leaving. Very satisfied with our countertops also. Finished both the kitchen and bathrooms in two weeks plus two days. K.C. did a terrific job on keeping me informed as to when everybody was coming. She was so pleasant to speak to also. In fact, everybody at Boyar’s were a pleasure to speak with. I would definitely recommend BOYAR’S to anyone. Even though I hesitated to spend the money, it was well worth it. Thanks, again!

Boyars did a fantastic job with our kitchen. And for thousands less than Home Depot. So glad we gave Boyars an opportunity to give us an estimate. Home Depot tried to come closer to the Boyars quote, but HD was going to cut several corners (no soft-​close drawers that Boyars includes, no dove-​tail drawers that Boyars includes, etc.) and they still were thousands more than Boyars. Boyars did a fantastic job, and all workers were friendly and professional.
Boyars quote, involving primarily refacing but with 2 brand new cabinets to accommodate a built-​in microwave, was only a 9 day job (spanning over a single weekend) whereas HD estimated as long as 2 weeks. They understand the inconvenience of being without a kitchen, so when possible, they schedule jobs that only span a single weekend.
Our salesperson, Melissa, was very friendly and down-​to-​earth. She had a nice idea of giving our new countertop a slight curve to give it some character, which we had not considered. Even better: no extra cost. Melissa helped us pick out the granite and backsplash, and she made sure we understood the contract, 0% financing option, etc.
Several weeks later, Angel contacted us with a detailed schedule of when each step of the project would be done. It deviated a bit in the middle, but it started and ended on schedule. We were very impressed.
Tony was the cabinet guy who did the refacing and installing of the new cabinet. He is the BEST. Friendly, professional, and great attention to detail. He carefully protected our floors and appliances as he worked and cleaned up each evening. Give the man a raise. The guys from Arizona Tile did fantastic work with our countertop and backsplash. Again, friendly and professional.
After the job was completed, we had noticed a few minor issues. One was a tiny nick in one of the cabinets. I asked Angel if they could provide some touch-​up paint. She told me they’ll make a whole new cabinet door and install it. What service! We also needed another shelf, which she said they’d bring and install when they came out to replace the cabinet door. It took a couple weeks for them to prepare those items, but a new cabinet guy, Jeff, came by to complete that work. He was every bit as good as Tony. Another thing needed fixing were a couple minor sink/​plumbing issues. Angel had the plumbers return the next day to fix those. Everything looks fantastic and works great.
Another benefit of Boyars is that they have a good relationship with Pacific Sales which is nearby the Boyars office. For the couple appliances we needed, Pacific Sales was able to give us fantastic discounts from their already good sale prices because we were Boyars customers.
Angel (and later KC) kept us informed along the way with scheduling. Very pleasant and responsive to our emails/​calls.
One area of improvement for Boyars to consider: After great initial meetings with our salesperson, Melissa, we never really heard from her again. We expected periodic contact to see how things were going, or at least a call after completion to see if everything was done to our satisfaction. So we’d recommend that the salespeople do a better job with staying in contact through the completion of the project.
All in all, very happy with the work they did and would highly recommend them.

We had a complete kitchen cabinet install with Boyar’s and other than a minor communication delay in fabrication we were satisfied with the end result. The drawers are outsourced but of good quality.

Love our new kitchen and bathrooms!
John Demko was great help in helping us decide on the design. Hector and crew were courteous, patient and very creative in the installation. We are delighted with their work.
Thanks from Sam and Lucy in Carlsbad

Love our newly refaced kitchen and bathrooms! I now have the kitchen I have always wanted. John Demko, your designer was great to work with, very good at what he does. Every detail was
completed and every assurance was met. Job started on time and finished on time 5 days later. Hector & crew were amazing, talented and creative. They ‘tidied up’ every day before leaving. It was truly a pleasure to have them in our home. Your office staff, particularly Gladys was very attentive to our many questions. Would use Boyars again and will refer any who ask, thanks from Lucy and Sam in Carlsbad

I would warn anyone from doing business with these folks. I had them reface my cabinets about two years ago. I purchased very expensive paint grade maple doors. They were damaged a tenant. I have called multiple times, trying to find out how to get replacement doors or to have them refinished. «Gladys» keeps promising to call me back with the information but does not. I have called and asked at least five times. I also cannot get any information from them on touch up paint. They keep insisting that I must pay a $ 75 fee to have someone come out. All I want is to know the price for a new door and information on the paint color. They refuse to give it to me. I would never do business with them again.

Checked out a discounted mailer from Boyars to refinish our kitchen cabinets. My wife and I chose Boyars based on their
reviews. End result: Boyars did an excellent job. Our old, dark, worn out cabinets and drawers were replaced with fantastic new sliding drawers and easy-​close doors. Hector and Hector do amazing work customizing the new cabinets. Where we had empty space up on our old cabinets, John the salesman suggested adding a new row of cabinets for storage space to the ceiling. Looks amazing now, and we have plenty of storage space for all our appliances in the cramped space of our kitchen. Fredo and his crew do excellent work on the counter tops too. Beautiful result.
Boyars does great work at an affordable price. We priced Home Depot for the same work and they were TWICE the price ! Only one draw back: Boyars took over four weeks to complete the work, one reason was a cracked kitchen sink once we opened the box ! But Boyars works several jobs at once and their people bounce around. Maybe a firm completion date written into the contract would help? Otherwise, my wife and I are 100% satisfied. Great job Boyars.

Great company to work with. Had my cabinets done over 10 years ago & had a hinge break. Called them to find out a part # so I could order a replacement online @ Amazon. Gladys sent 2 out at no charge! How’s that for good customer service? Have loved my cabinets through the years. Will use the again & refer to all who ask. Thanks again Gladys!
