From workshop to your San Diego doorstep.
I · We fabricate in Tijuana
Your kitchen is built in our own workshop minutes from the border — the same Austrian Blum hardware and quartz the San Diego market pays a premium for, with per-stage quality control.
II · We handle the crossing
We manage the cross-border logistics end to end. The crossing is a single, clearly itemized line on your quote — never a mystery markup that appears halfway through the project.
III · We deliver to your San Diego home
We deliver to your address with a per-unit handover record. In California, installation is done by a California-licensed contractor. Because the workshop is minutes away, scheduling moves on local time, not import lead times.
IV · Billed in USD, written warranty
Quotes and contracts in US dollars for local transparency. Every kitchen ships with a written warranty on fabrication (6/9/12 months by line), and our shop is close enough to handle claims fast.
— why it's safe —
A manufacturer you can visit, a crossing you never touch.
A real workshop, not a flat-pack importer
We're a manufacturer with a physical Tijuana workshop and showroom — not a reseller drop-shipping boxes. You can visit, and our designers measure in person on the San Diego side.
The crossing is our job, not yours
You never deal with a border broker, paperwork or a freight terminal. We coordinate the crossing and delivery; your kitchen arrives at your door ready to install.
Transparent USD pricing
A line-by-line quote in US dollars — materials, delivery and the crossing all spelled out before you sign. No currency surprises, no scope creep.
Warranty serviced from minutes away
A written warranty on fabrication, backed by a shop that is closer to most of San Diego County than many local cabinet makers. If a part fails, the replacement moves fast.
— frequently asked —
Cross-border questions, answered.
Is it safe to buy a custom kitchen made in Mexico?
Yes. We are an established manufacturer with our own Tijuana workshop and showroom — you can visit before you commit. We design and measure in person on the San Diego side, deliver with a written warranty, and our shop is close enough to handle warranty claims quickly. You get craftsmanship the San Diego market rarely offers without the importer risk of a flat-pack box.
Who handles the border crossing and the paperwork?
We do, end to end. You never deal with a customs broker, a freight terminal or import paperwork. We coordinate the cross-border logistics and deliver your kitchen to your home; the crossing appears as one clearly itemized line on your quote.
How does the warranty work if I am in San Diego?
Every kitchen ships with a written warranty — 6 months on the Base line, 9 on Premium and 12 on Signature. Because our workshop is minutes from the border, warranty claims are handled on local timelines, not on import lead times.
Are there customs duties or import taxes I have to pay separately?
No surprise charges on your side. Any cross-border duties or fees are handled by us and itemized in your USD quote before you sign, so the price you agree to is the price you pay. The exact line items are confirmed in your formal quote.
Will I be billed in US dollars?
Yes. Quotes and contracts are in US dollars for local transparency, so there are no exchange-rate surprises between signing and delivery.
How long does it take, including the crossing?
Fabrication runs 4–6 weeks for Base, 6–10 for Premium and 8–14 for Signature, plus roughly 1–2 weeks for cross-border logistics and delivery. The schedule you sign is the one we keep.
What happens if something needs service after delivery?
You contact us directly. A manufacturing defect is covered by the written warranty, and because our Tijuana workshop is closer to most of San Diego County than many local shops, replacements move fast — no waiting on a distant supplier. Installation adjustments are handled by your installing contractor.
Do you install in San Diego?
No. In California, installation is done by a California-licensed contractor: we deliver your kitchen ready to install. We design, measure, fabricate and deliver; the crossing and the paperwork are on us.
