A Redwood City kitchen

The price we quoted is the price they paid — to the cent, with no change orders.

Proposal issued

2025-07-04 · $27,434.31 · from the shop’s daily record

Fixed price for the whole kitchen: frameless boxes, Shaker doors in paint-grade maple, dovetail drawer boxes, soft-close throughout.

Approved

2025-07-09 · from the shop’s daily record

Five days later. Nothing in the price changed between this date and the final invoice.

First payment

2025-07-16 · $2,743.43 · from the shop’s daily record

10% to start. Progress billing, so nothing large is due before there is something to show for it.

50% payment

2025-08-14 · $13,717.16 · from the shop’s daily record

The production deposit. This is the date the eight-week build clock starts from.

Doors checked in

2025-10-22 · from the shop’s daily record

Every door and drawer front counted against the order before anything was finished.

Priming

2025-10-24 · from the shop’s daily record

13 doors primed in 37 minutes, then 19 doors and drawer fronts the next day in 90. These are the shop's own logged times, not estimates.

Final payment

2025-10-30 · $10,973.72 · from the shop’s daily record

The closing 40%. Three invoices, summing to the proposal exactly.

Assembly

2025-11-12 · from the shop’s daily record

Cabinets cut, edge-banded and assembled in the Concord shop, logged by number as each one went together.

What this does not show

  • This is one job, not an average. It was chosen because it is the cleanest paper trail in the archive, which is the opposite of a random sample.
  • No delivery or installation date is shown, because no such date was recorded on this job. We are not going to infer one.
  • We are not publishing a company-wide on-time percentage yet. The promised dates were written into emails and never stored, so the honest figure starts accruing from October 2026 and there is not enough of it to quote.
