Testimonial for a Bathroom CabinetJul. 11th

No job is too small to merit our full attention.

 

This couple has a vacation condo in Ventura. They were here visiting from Florida and needed a bathroom cabinet within the time frame of their vacation. I told them we couldn't push them ahead of anyone, but if they worked with me on the details we could get it done quickly. 

 

So that is what they did. They even waited while I designed the cabinet so we could settle all the design questions at once. They paid their deposit, and within a few hours the cabinet was in production. With a little help from our favorite granite guy (more on him later) we were able to get the job done and in place with enough time for them to enjoy it before they returned home.

 

They were kind enough to post a review on our Yelp.com page, which I am reposting here for posterity:

 

When my husband and I planned to redo our bathroom in Ventura, we knew two things for sure:  (1) We wanted a custom look, and (2) we couldn't break the bank.  Oh, and we needed our dream vanity in record time because we had company coming.  Not only did Jay step up to the task and guide us towards a beautiful selection, but he was able to connect us with a great granite guy, who put on the finishing touches. If you think you can't afford custom work, think again!  We highly recommend this company.  They will serve you well, and we are looking forward to working with them again on our next project.

 

Thanks for the kind words and for your business.

 

Testimonial from a Ventura CustomerJul. 08th

We've received some great reviews on Yelp.com, and we really appreciate them. Unfortunately, Yelp reviews tend to dissappear if the reviewer isn't an active Yelp user. I totally understand this rule in Yelp's algorithm. Becuase, after all, what is an algorithm without rules? However, I'm not willing to let the unsolicited kind words from our customers dissapear into the internet ether. So just in case they do end up dissappearing from Yelp, I'm posting them here as well for posterity. Thank you customers (both those who review us and those who don't).

 

From a lovely couple in Ventura, quite near our plant actually, who recently remodeled their home:


My wife and I were anxious about starting our very first kitchen re-model. We contacted several cabinet makers, and  decided to go with W.L. Rubottom and Co.
And, what a great decision!  These guys really know their stuff!  I was stressed every step of the way, but, after all was said and done I realized I didn't need to be concerned for one minute!  They completed their work right on schedule, the installation went perfectly, The plant manager was in constant contact with us, and they treated us like family.  They run their business as well as any business I've ever dealt with...Couldn't recommend them more highly.

 

Thanks for the kind words and your business.

mostlymommyhood.com Wants/Needs a BanquetteJun. 21st

Jeni over at mostlymommyhood.com admires our banquette from the Midtown Ventura Remodel post. Well, we'll be happy to build one. Those windows look a little low in the space she shows on the site. I wonder if we can notch around them.

Midtown Ventura RemodelMay. 26th

This midtown Ventura remodel must be seen to be believed. This family poured their heart and soul (not to mention plenty of hard work) to transform their kitchen from a small crowded room into a wide-open family space. I was pleased to be a part of their design process and, since I live nearby, I have been able to keep tabs on their progress. It has been a few months since we installed our cabinets, so I went over this morning to see the final result and take a few photos. Needless to say, I was very pleased with the results. They did a great job putting the kitchen together, choosing lighting and fixtures, wall, cabinet, floor, and countertop colors.

Bathroom Picture from a CustomerApr. 01st

We love it when customers send in photos of the finished work. It's not often we get to see the whole thing completed with counters and fixtures, so it's great to see it when a customer sends us a photo. What we really want is our customers to get the bathrooms and kitchens they want and need, and so a picture usually means they did and they're excited to share it with us.

 

This bathroom remodel in Camarillo ended up being quite lovely. Maple cabinets, Eagle doors, Chestnut finish with a black glaze, with legs at the sinks that were "popped out" proud of the cabinets.

2011 Santa Barbara Winter Home ShowFeb. 15th

The Home Show is coming to Santa Barbara, and Rubottom Cabinets will be there again.  The dates are February 26-27. 

One of the great things about the show for us is that it gives people a chance to actually see and feel our cabinets.  We have created a full-sized kitchen with in-cabinet accessories such as roll-outs, spice racks, soft-close drawers, baskets, and a pantry system that defies description, granite counters (thanks to Celestine) and true gourmet appliances (thanks to Reid's).  It's advantageous for our customers to see and connect with our cabinets in real life. It is also really helpful if we can meet with you and your kitchen or bath plans, magazine cutouts, and pictures to help get a complete picture of what you are looking for in the project.


Here's a link to what I originally wrote about our display; its design and inception.  And please come see us at the Santa Barbara show.
