BradCo review We worked with BradCo on new kitchen cabinets in 2017. We did a full remodel of our kitchen, and the cabinets were 100% new. We chose BradCo because they were cheap and pretty friendly, and they seemed to know what they were doing. We had three main problems that lead me to write a review; hopefully this will help others make the right choice.

1. There were many issues with installation -- their guy was super sweet, but rarely showed up before 10 or 11am, and more often than not had to reschedule for another day. Our contractor was frustrated by the delays, which made other parts of the project more complicated. Something to keep in mind if you’re on a tight schedule.

2. It was a huge bummer to discover that the refrigerator we had chosen did not fit in the kitchen design we got from BradCo, even though we had given them the fridge specs before we started the project. We realized on our own that our chosen refrigerator would stick out 14” past the cabinets, and luckily we were able to find a counter-depth version of the fridge. Make sure you check their work.

3. The biggest issue, though, is that the cabinets have changed color! We went with BradCo’s high-gloss, white, euro-style cabinets, and about a year after installation, half of them started to turn yellow. Every other cabinet door. Now, two years after installation, some of them are so yellowed they appear to be a completely different color. It’s like a checkerboard. I assume it will only get worse....

We contracted Bradco Kitchen & Bath to remodel and expand our kitchen in mid-century style. Working with Michael and Amelia was an absolute pleasure! Their dual expertise as a kitchen contractor and cabinet maker made all the difference. From the get-go, they truly listened to our desires and offered practical advice that aligned with our budget and style.

Throughout the process, Michael, Amelia, and their crew kept us well-informed, explaining each step and ensuring our satisfaction with the progress. Each evening, we were briefed on the plans for the following day and which team members would be on-site. During the nearly four months of construction, work was ongoing every day, often with up to four people working simultaneously. The entire team was considerate of our living conditions, taking measures to protect the rest of the house from dust and debris—an aspect for which we are particularly grateful!

All subcontractors employed by Bradco demonstrated high competence and shared similar work ethics.

The cabinets and countertops turned out beautifully, and the project was completed on schedule. Everyone from Bradco who was involved—Nadine, Charlie, Adrian, Carlos, Sam, and John—deserves our heartfelt thanks for their hard work and positive attitude.

If you're considering building new or remodeling your kitchen, we highly recommend Bradco!

*One thing to keep in mind: refrain from emailing Michael after hours or on weekends because he'll respond...

I selected Bradco to replace all kitchen cabinets for my kitchen remodel. They were nice until things went WRONG.

Cabinet quality itself seems to be good. Cabinets are from Envoy (one of the manufacturing companies they use). Box is made from sturdy plywood and door fronts are MDF.

Order mishaps. There were missing cabinet pieces when the order arrived. Missing pieces were ordered but of course it delayed installation of the rest of the kitchen project due to a domino effect those missing pieces caused. Bradco would not provide reimbursement, compensation or any other remedy, other than simply blame Envoy for the mishap. Bradco is the middle man and they would not take responsibility for the mishap. Of course the client (me) has the pay out of pocket for the extra order, rush fees and contractor for the delays this caused.

Installation mishaps. I hired Bradco to install ONE cabinet because it required some custom work to join two doors together to make one long door. Thank goodness I used my own contractor for the rest of the cabinets install - clearly experts. The Bradco installers are terribly slow. They had to come out on 3 separate occasions to install this ONE cabinet. Installers were really nice guys but DO NOT HIRE BRADCO for install. I also had to follow up multiple times because they clearly did not want to keep taking on the cost of sending workers out to fix this one cabinet. Finished cabinet work...
