Next Level Fine Woodworking & Painting

Brandon and his team did an outstanding job refacing our kitchen cabinets and peninsula.
They’re very creative, have tons of energy and were just all around a pleasure to work with. We’d highly recommend them!

Brandon painted a new front door and twin sidelites for us (bought through Apple Blossom in San Ramon) and between all the sanding, primer and finish coats, the whole entry system looks like marble, it’s so smooth! Don’t even consider anybody else.

Brandon and Jesse are the best! We hired Next Level to reface the kitchen cabinets, make new drawer boxes, and install pullouts. Everything came out completely and totally awesome. Both Brandon and Jesse have the highest attention to detail in whatever they are working on. Communication was great all through the project. The guys cleaned up after each day’s work and were incredibly nice to my 2 dogs and 2 cats! I would hire Brandon and crew again in a heartbeat.

Next Level is absolutely a quality run outfit. I am in the same industry as them and I hold myself to the highest standards and would only give a 5 star review to someone who holds the same values and performs high quality work. Brandon is a quality fanatic and it clearly shows in the finished outcomes of his jobs. Keep up the good work gentlemen!

The mark of a good company is their CONSISTENT attention to detail, for jobs big and small. I didn’t have a painting job, I didn’t have a new kitchen… I had a cutting board. Simple as that. My old one was splintering to pieces. Brandon took the old one and made a new one, better than the first — I’m almost sad to start cutting on it again. Bravo!

I keep walking into my Next Level kitchen and just smiling at it; it’s SO beautiful!
It took a little longer than anticipated but the result is fantastic. Brandon designed a custom look for our yucky old space and Jesse’s execution was meticulous. These are heart-​centered guys who give their all.
Whether it was the re-​facing done on all the cabinets or the new construction needed to accommodate a larger oven, the brand new drawers Brandon built by hand or the helpful design suggestions — all contributed to a first-​class result at a price that didn’t give us sticker shock.
Our family and friends are amazed at the transformation — and so are we!

I would without a doubt recommend Brandon and Next Level. Working with him was a positive experience from start to finish. The scope of the work in my house included the painting of cabinets,‘painting of walls, installation of baseboards throughout my house, and several wood trimming projects. And wood trimming projects, is really an understatement, he transformed a drab and boring drywalled island into a gorgeous work of art, with great detailed moldings. I also had a very large entry way trimmed and that is also a gorgeous statement in the room. He and his crew are true craftsmen and perfectionist which is evidenced in the finished product.
Brandon really was a great resource-​not only did he understand what I wanted the finished product to look like, but guided my choices of cabinet color, design of the island, and corbel selection. He also was able to work within my budget without sacrificing the design or quality. I know that we will be using him again in the future, I look forward to seeing the other improvements he will make to my home.

Brandon, and his team are true artist. He delivered an amazing final product. Turned cheap maple colored cabinets throughout my entire house (kitchen an 4 bathrooms) to antique glazed furniture. Everyone that comes to our house is blown away with the quality. His price is competitive, he is highly networked with skilled contracting professionals, an is an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommend hiring him

If you can see what I see in my kitchen, you would be a 49er type fan of Brandon and his crew (Jesse, Paul, & Cornilio).
A few weeks ago my wife and I were staring at some very sorry looking oak cabinets (25 years of use and builder grade materials will do that). Now that we are semi-​retired, we had even more time to stare at the yellowing wood. It was time to do something. I am pleased to be able to say that my wife’s often repeated «I hate the look of these cabinets» has now been replaced by «My kitchen looks like a showroom».
Brandon’s down home friendliness is matched by his woodworking expertise. He also proved to be an invaluable «interior design consultant» in helping us choose both the right color for the cabinets along with complementary pull and knob hardware to match our granite, wall colors, and appliances.
Aside from the final result, I am still in awe of the workmanship and the techniques that were utilized. The cuts of the ¼″ wood used as facing were surreal in their accuracy. The ‘prep’ for each of 5 coats of paint was almost surgical as the guys used halogen lamps to inspect every inch of the cabinet surface for blemishes. The painting was performed with the room tented, a high volume low pressure air gun (minimize overspray)’ and the creation of negative pressure to the outdoors to create an impeccably even coating. The doors are made of solid maple and were hung with the most advanced hinges (three way adjustments and soft close technology … we no longer can hear the banging of cabinets when someone is raiding the pantry at night).
I can attest that the pictures of the Next Level «products» on the web site are accurate and not photoshopped. I have my own pictures to prove it. Nice to be so proud of a kitchen that you want to send everyone pictures.
