Focal Point Design And Cabinets

Cabinet Making, Kitchen and Bath Remodeling

About us

Focal Point Kitchens started right in our our own kitchen. A stay-at-home mom raising the kids, my wife Liza took on our kitchen renovation project. She enjoyed the in's and out's of the project so much, she and I decided going into the business was the thing to do. The cabinet person on that job inspired her to go to NKBA to develop her natural talents, and that's just what she did. After working for a firm for about a year, we set out to start our own business. The idea moved from our kitchen to the trunk of the family car, as I roamed the peninsula looking for contractors who could use our services. Everything started as word-of-mouth, just as it is today. The trunk of the car soon became a studio office, and as our customers had parties and invited friends over and those friends called us to "do that" in their kitchens, soon we were hanging our shingle on our showroom location in San Mateo.

Cabinets arrived ten days so later than expected but that didn't matter because of the construction schedule. We used Waypoint which isn't the fanciest brand but they look great and are more affordable. The store offers other cabinet brands more upscale. Megan is extremely responsive to questions and easy to reach and I really appreciated that.
Description of Work: Megan conceptualized a wonderful design for our new kitchen, including plans to change windows and doorways to make the space function at its best and we got a lovely breakfast nook out of the design on top of a beautiful and functional space. Beautiful design, ideas we wouldn't have thought of ourselves. She gave advice on purchasing countertop from her Stoneman company and tile ideas too. Leave it to the expert!

It went very well. One thing that stands out is their very personal attention to detail and service. The workers are attentive to detail. I will use them again in the future.

I have to say this was not all that good. The manufacturer we chose may not have been at fault for some of the issues. I would not use this company again.

They were very good. They did a good job in giving the estimate. They were very responsive in giving the estimate and answering my questions. I don’t remember how much the estimate was. I would like to use them in future.
Description of Work: FOCAL POINT KITCHENS gave me an estimate for making kitchen cabinets a couple of weeks ago. However, they did not do any work for me.

Liza designed a great new layout for my kitchen. I wanted to get rid of the inefficient large u-shape design, but no one else I consulted managed to think creatively. Liza came up with a great new plan that I've lived and cooked in for over a month and I'm simply delighted with -- the design is functional, comfortable and good looking.

Liza came up with a great new plan that I've lived and cooked in for over a month and I'm simply delighted with -- the design is functional, comfortable and good looking. Evaluating price is hard to do -- cabinets differ and with services like Focal Point you pay a bit more for the cabinets because you get the design for free. Of services I consulted, Liza's price was completely reasonable. I also appreciated that she was willing to give me guidance with some of the choices I needed to make, including giving me referrals to appliance people, tile people, contractors, etc. She offered me the "hand holding" I needed going forward with such a big project.
