What Our Customers Are Saying

5 star review

Working with Nicolette and her team was a wonderful experience! Doing business with a small town, a family business added the extra touch of intentionality and attention to detail that we desired. Nicolette was professional and engaging, she asked all the right questions and really got to know us. She gave us options for various designs to cater to our lifestyle as well. They were able to help us stay within a budget while not sacrificing quality. I would definitely recommend Arcata Cabinet & Design Company!

5 star review
Nicolette is as excellent to work with. Patient, responsive, and their product is wonderful. The prices are great and the installer was fantastic. Nothing but praise for this company. My wife and I love our new cabinets would highly recommend them.
5 star review

I cannot say enough wonderful comments about the Arcata cabinets. We recently remodeled our kitchen. Nicolette worked with me from beginning to end. She is experienced, competent, and wonderful to work with. Casey who installed was meticulous, a real perfectionist, and a hard worker. When we had a couple of doors that were just not quite not plum and a few knobs with faint scratched. They went way above and beyond and replaced them free of charge. I could go on and on. You do not have to worry about Arcata cabinets when it comes to quality, workmanship, and experience.

5 star review

Our house was built in 1953, a well built and fairly straightforward craftsman style. The kitchen was the original, having only replaced the countertop Formica and adding a dishwasher. We needed more [and more efficient] cabinets, more counter space, and a rework of the entry/mudroom and adjacent bathroom. We wanted to do this remodel without removing load-bearing walls, and with keeping to the style of the rest of the house. Importantly, we wanted to work with a local company. Nicolette and Arcata Cabinet gave us exactly what we needed and wanted! From her first visit to assess the project, to all the ending details, she listened to us and responded with ideas and solutions that reflected our objectives. Since we were going to be doing a lot of the work ourselves, we wanted to work with someone who would be comfortable with that dynamic. Nicolette incorporated our ideas along with her own design perspective, guiding us to make better decisions and avoid mistakes. She gave us complete and detailed plans for the cabinet installation, along with accurate pricing at all points along the way. She made numerous visits to the house, responding quickly and professionally. When questions and concerns came up, Nicolette was responsive and provided solutions. All deadlines were accurate and met, and most importantly, the quality of the cabinets was great! Additionally, we hired Nicolette to help with countertop and tile selection and design. She was able to translate our tastes into reality, steering us towards the design choices that will last beyond current trends. In closing, we are thrilled with our experience with Nicolette and Arcata Cabinet and Design Co., and couldn’t be happier with the end result. We have a kitchen-mudroom-bathroom remodel that will hopefully last another 65 years!

Nicolette at Arcata Cabinet and Design was a pleasure to work with. She was patient, communicative and created a beautiful, functional design for our kitchen remodel. We received our cabinets on time, the installation was seamless, and we love our new kitchen.

5 star review

We hired Nicolette to create a new design for our aging kitchen. She came to our home and took the time to get to know us and our preferences. Her careful listening paid off because the outcome is more beautiful, efficient, and spacious than we dared imagine. Her design was a bold departure from the original floor plan, adding a large island and encompassing an adjacent sitting area with a wall of windows into the new kitchen. Brilliant! The finished project is a huge improvement in traffic flow within the kitchen and to the outside, and we have much more storage and counter space. Nicolette advised us throughout the construction process on the appliance and fixture selection, all of which have proved to be outstanding choices, thanks to her impeccable taste and attention to detail. The cabinets she provided are beautiful with excellent organization features and functionality. She was available to answer questions and solve minor glitches as they came up, and we greatly appreciated her expertise, communication skills, and experience. Nicolette was sensitive to our budget and style preferences at every decision point and guided us towards the highest quality within our range. She is extremely knowledgeable about everything having to do with the kitchen, and if I asked her a question she didn’t have an answer for, she immediately researched it and got back to me. Always professional and articulate, Nicolette was an invaluable resource. Friends who come and see our kitchen invariably ask who designed it and if they can hire her too. Everyone admires our beautiful new kitchen, including us!

5 star review

We had Arcata cabinets design and install our kitchen cabinets. They did an excellent job. They were very patient in working with us on the design process and had very good ideas to add to what we in mind. The installation was perfect and quick. As things go in remodeling there were some small changes that had to be made during the install and they communicated with us very well when issues raised. We are very happy with their product and the quality of work.

5 star review

Arcata Cabinet & Design did an incredible job for me. I live in an old house (1930’s). It is small. They installed natural cherry cabinets which are absolutely spectacular! They were amazingly patient with the changes required as the design unfolded. Casey did an impeccable job dealing with the installation in such a tight space. Tim and Casey are professional and super easy to work with. I would give them my highest recommendation! Thanks so much!!!
