Mike Dickinson is an accomplished entrepreneur and craftsman who has built his career around his passion for woodworking and cabinet making. His love for woodworking began at the age of thirteen when he built his first cabinet in his parent's garage. From that moment on, he was hooked and developed an interest in creating many different types of projects from wood.
Over the years, Mike honed his woodworking skills and began building everything from fine furniture to redwood decks. As a young adult, he also gained experience in metalworking while working in a modern factory, which allowed him to learn about manufacturing processes and develop an eye for precision and detail.
There are so many good things to write about Dickinson Cabinetry. Their work is absolutely beautiful and the cabinets they made are a work of incredible craftsmanship. They worked closely with us to achieve the exact color of stain we wanted for our red oak cabinets and had excellent suggestions for how to make kitchen more functional, as well as more beautiful. Our kitchen is definitely now a work of art!
I would highly recommend Dickinson Cabinetry to anyone who would like to have beautiful cabinets built by an outstanding organization that truly cares about the quality of their work. Thank you Mike and Shelly and the fabulous craftsmen for making our dream for the kitchen come true.
We got our custom kitchen cabinets from them. The typical 8-12 weeks wait time was definitely worth it. If looking for custom well made cabinets, I would strongly recommend them. Mike and hientire staff are very professional and take pride in their work.
We needed a small vanity for our smallest bathroom, but the prefab cabinets were so tiny that they didn't maximize use of the limited space in our bathroom. So we contacted Dickinson Cabinetry for a custom cabinet. Truly customized. We got to choose the exact size, type of wood, stain, number of drawers, you name it. Mike was even willing to speak with our contractor to make sure the plumbing would all fit correctly too! We had this cabinet installed 2 years ago. It still looks beautiful!
Having a team who is great at what they do and know how to truely work collaboratively are key to successfully executing projects and achieving next level results. Mike and his team were true project partners. They listened to our ideas, provided alternate suggestions, were transparent about pros and cons and pulled last minute saves. Thanks for all the help and looking forward to more projects with Dickinson Cabinetry in the future.
We recently had our kitchen cabinets fabricated by Dickinson Cabinetry and had them installed in our home in Fremont. CA. Right from my first communications with Mike and Shelly from discussing our needs to the final details by their shop manager Joe, we are extremely grateful for their customer-oriented service in delivering high quality cabinets. Our contractor, the installer and even the building inspectors who came by admired these bespoke cabinets and how well they were made. We did go through a hiccup when we opted for an additional cabinet, but they unhesitatingly accommodated us. There is always room to strive for higher accomplishments and stand out amongst their competition. Two such ways if we were to suggest are: 1. provide installation services and 2. include a step stool for access to over-the-counter cabinets. Thanks Mike, Shelly and Joe, for your service and the pride you take in your cabinets, these will be cherished and proudly exhibited by us to our guests for years to come.
Mike Dickinson and his team were fantastic and I am extremely happy with choosing them to replace all my kitchen cabinets. Their design team relaid out our cabinet arrangement giving me my heavy duty roll out drawers that I wanted for cookware plus swing out and rotating inserts in hard to use corner cabinets. They also helped me pick out the door design, wood choice, and stain colors and were extremely patient with us going through different options and styles and explaining the pros and cons of the different woods. Their craftsmanship is top notch. They use excellent quality materials and take great care in providing a quality product. We had one issue where one door didn't come out quite right, and the team made sure to take care of that promptly. I plan to use them again on future projects!
We remodeled essentially the entire front half of our house starting in late October of 2020, and Dickinson Cabinetry did all our kitchen cabinets, our island, pantry, and our fireplace mantel. Mike and Shelly and team were awesome and easy to work with, we had no issues with timing or any of the logistics, and the quality of work was outstanding. Our interior designer had had a bad experience with conversion varnish with a different cabinet maker in the past and she was nervous about using this, but as our general contractor said, "Mike's cabinets (and the paint on them) can withstand a bomb blast." ;) It's been about 9 months since the kitchen cabinets went in, and we haven't set off any bombs yet, but we certainly have made very good use of our kitchen, and everything is holding up great so far! The paint we chose for the kitchen cabinets was a very particular grey/blue color that Mike's team had to match, and they matched it perfectly - as a matter of fact, the most common compliment we get on our new kitchen is the color and look of the cabinetry. Our fireplace mantel was delivered in March and we installed it in April and that looks amazing as well. Would highly recommend Dickinson Cabinetry!
We remodeled our kitchen in winter and spring, and we order custom flush inset cabinets from Mike at Dickinson. We couldn't be happier. They are solid, beautiful made, and perfectly aligned. We get a lot of compliments. Dickinson delivered them right on time. We felt the price was more than reasonable given the quality of the work. Dickinson also made overlay cabinets for our laundry room and a bathroom. Highly recommended.
