Stockdale Kitchen and Bath

You know the old saying, "You get what you pay for?".Not if you use Stockdale Kitchen and Bath! The etch-a-sketch software they use to design our master bathroom does not calculate the drywall, plaster and tile which matters when every inch counts."We won't start the job until all material is received". 8 days later, "we got a huge job elsewhere so we're going to start on your bathroom now and continue as material comes in." Taking time off work to accommodate their schedule was a pain.The crew that did the demo and new installation installed the Shower faucet that leaked causing water to fill between the walls on the first use. They had to come out, install new faucet and replace the drywall. Rick stopped responding to my call and emails so I was forced to communicate with the contractor he hired.Stucco cracked on outside wall where they installed the soap dish cubby. The shower drain had to be brought up to code bustarted smelling less than a year later. This would happen every few months. Called a plumber who ran a camera and found gravel in the line and said it's either from the install or a connection came loose and debris is filling the line. Ran into Rick and asked him about it and was told "it's out of warranty". The only bright side was that the cabinets we picked out came out great and the tile work was perfect.

When we decided to remodel our kitchen we randomly drove around looking for kitchen shops. We found SKB open late on a Tuesday afternoon, and Rick welcomed us into the showroom and started chatting. He scheduled us a measure appointment at our house, and it all snowballed from there! He helped us design our kitchen, shopped for each of the design elements, and coordinated all the work through his highly skilled contractors, Dave and Henry. We never felt pressured into making any decisions, but rather Rick and his team are so knowledgeable in what they do we felt confident in their suggestions. I truly feel that I ended up with a kitchen that even exceeded what I had set out to achieve, so much so that when I watch TV shows or look on Zillow at other homes, there's no homes (even at higher price points than mine!) that have a kitchen that i like nearly as much as my own :). Since renovating our kitchen, which in fact was a complete gut and overhaul of our previous kitchen, i have been cooking and baking so much more than before, thanks to newer, quality appliances and the openness of the kitchen. My baked goods are in such high demand at work, and my coworkers want to have our staff meetings at my house just to take advantage of the kitchen and the open flow of the kitchen/living room/dining room. Definitely one of the things that every person comments on is the backsplash (pictured) that Rick helped us pick, as well as the spaciousness and usefulness of the kitchen island and the "Fanciness" of the pantry door. Once the project got started, it actually went so quickly that it finished a few weeks ahead of schedule, which is always a welcome occurrence. I definitely would use SKB again, especially if my husband would let me redo our guest bathroom :)

Wife and I have been searching for a Kitchen remodel that will be seamless and something to where we can actually see before making any decision on throwing done a ton of money. There are so many choices in Bakersfield with companies to choose from. We met Rick at he Home Show last year and have been totally impressed with his knowledge and also that he hasn't tried to push anything on us even though our decision is not 100% final. His words to us were he would earn our business. From the first meeting to measuring our kitchen and putting together a 3d rendering of our kitchen, he is living up to that statement.

Rick is the most professional and creative brains behind this business. Very honest and makes sure that you are happy with the results. I highly recommend this business!

The owner showed up for the scheduled appointment to measure my kitchen for a pretty extensive rebuild--water damage. As he looked at the torn out cabinets, tile, and part of the wall. He asked who did that--I told him and he said oh insurance. Then he said insurance is just a coupon--he is undoubtedly right but that is between me and the insurance company. Mind you he did not ask how much I wanted to spend or tell me how much it would cost, he just said he could not do the peninsula counter and he had done a lot of these, and they take out the soffets, get rid of the hanging cabinets and build an island. Then he says, "I don't think this is a job for me." I said it's your company and you don't want the work. I thought you were a professional." I honestly contacted the company because the website showed work I though looked promising. Maybe I just looked too poor for his business. I most certainly do not recommend them because of what I think was very unprofessional behavior.

I recently had a large renovation project, including kitchen, laundry room and 2 bathrooms. The finished project is even better than I imagined. My decor is now modern and beautiful; the workmanship and products are superior. In thinking about the whole project, two things especially deserve a 5-star rating. The owner creates designs alongside the client, so that he makes changes in real time with the owner's input. The second thing that was invaluable to me was that the owner shops with the client to select appliances, tile, flooring, etc., advising what items would be best-suited to the project. He went out of his way continuing to look for tiles that satisfied me. I highly recommend this business!

Do not get your house remodeled by stock dale kitchen. Took them 8 months to complete a small kitchen remodel when I signed a contract stating it should only take them 3 months.They made appointments to come fix my kitchen no call no shows. They have one poor guy completing 20 jobs at the same time. No wonder it's taking them so long.Finally after 8 months of this mess.I have a kitchen but a very poorly done kitchen. I'm no professional and I could of done a better job But I paid a suppose professional. Ill be posting pics below.These liars filed a restraining order a week after my husband called to complain.saying that he threatened them. Allegations were false but who believes anyone with a record.Only because I posted a bad review.So now they can't fix the issues they promised they would fix. Because of the restraining order. These people filed a false report only to get out of fixing the mistakes they made.please save yourself the headache and find yourself a better qualified professional.

Worst experience I've ever had with a company or it's staff. They made countless mistakes despite multiple corrections and clarifications and when brought to their attention blamed me, were extremely rude and refused to fix them. Most unpleasant, impolite, incompetent and insulting people I've ever encountered in a professional setting. Absolutely horrendous lack of professionalism and customer service.

Horrible service and work please don't ever go with this company the work they did is so bad. My whole kitchen is ruined because of these assholes

The team at Stockdale is exceptional. I've worked with many contractors over the years but Stockdale has been hands down the best, most experienced in cabinetry and a high level of professionalism. The owner answers and returns calls timely, when consulting him on out of the box solutions to my kitchen and ancillary room problems... He listens and consults. He loves using imagery to explain and I couldn't have appreciated it more. The office staff is also responsive and his showroom is to die for. If you are looking for a designer to listen, solve and work within your budget there is no other option. I only wish I had more Kitchens and remodels to do. But I highly recommend him!
