BUSINESS NAME:   Blue Ridge Cabinets  
ESTABLISHED:              1976  
LOCATION: Concord, California  
OWNER:   Steve Gorman  

MISSION:  

The Finest In Custom Cabinetry & Furniture Since 1976.   

 

 

 

 

 

THEN:         

 

It all began with two ambitious 20 year olds, lifelong Contra Costa residents, with custom wood working in their blood.  They began their association in the early 70’s when they both worked for a retail furniture store and moonlighted building custom furniture on the weekends.  In 1976, after a few years of hard weekend work doing “side jobs” for friends and family Steve and Gary left the retail business and began their own business working full time, out of a garage in Concord.

This venture prospered nicely and in 1977 they purchased an existing cabinet manufacturer and began to specialize in kitchen cabinetry, which was sold through a major Contra Costa appliance store. This venture became so successful it resulted in Blue Ridge Cabinets, establishing their name and hiring their first employee in 1981.

By 1984 they had expanded their operations to cover the entire spectrum of cabinets, which resulted in buying much more material and faster-more efficient tools, recruiting an exceptional staff and needing to find much more room to work!

By 1985, Blue Ridge did acquire land and opened a second location in Pacheco off the Benicia Bridge. Now they had it all, the equipment, the staff and the growing client base they had worked so hard for.

In 1989, Blue Ridge Cabinets settled into an even better location, a brand new and much larger facility with a staff of eight and a sales mix of 75% residence and 25% commercial.  Geographically covering all the Bay Area and as far as Reno/Lake Tahoe and Palm Springs.

Together, with endless commitment, manpower and attention to detail, Steve and Gary built a stable foundation and booming business.  As a manufacturer of quality wood cabinetry, the work of Blue Ridge Cabinets can be found in numerous luxury homes, including the well-respected Lesher home and many commercial buildings, throughout the greater bay area and beyond.

The level of precision, commitment and perfection on which Blue Ridge Cabinets prides itself has been recognized by The Oakland Tribune, Contra Costa Times, Diablo magazine and Better Homes and Gardens, to name a few.

NOW:
