Good cabinetinstaller.
TIME MANAGEMENT IS A BIG ISSUE. He schedules then reschedule.
There was definitely a communication breakdown. Not fluent in English. I understood he would do certain things that came with cabinetinstallation, he wanted todo only the minimum, put up cabinets. Countertops and handles were xtra. Expected pay before job was complete. Also contracted to do the kitchen floor. Poor job. He needs to stick to cabinetinstallation.

Luis did a wonderful job moving some cabinets around for me. I install a vent hood over the range and needed to move the current cabinets and he did that for me. 10/10 would recommend.

Luis did an amazing job installingcabinets in my garage. I had purchased them at a discount and some of them were not in great condition. Luis secured them and made them look as good as the others. I highly recommend L&Y Professional Cabinets and will definitely use their services again.

They came out the same day and installed replacement cabinets in my laundry room quickly and efficiently. I was very happy with this husband and wife team and will use them again in a heartbeat.

Luis is a rock star! He did a fantastic job assembling and installing my new IKEA cabinets. We encountered a few issues and Luis recommended great solutions and now my cabinets look great! I would hire him again. He's a real professional who takes great pride in his work.

This review relates specifically to Dylan. If you use his father Gio he may be more professional.
They installed some very cheap engineered wood cabinets. It’s my fault for not requesting to see the cabinets to be installed in person first. They looked fine in pictures, but are cheap in person. They did not complete the countertop installation.
The cabinets were installed sloppily, diagonal screws, gaping corners, unfinished bracketed portions exposed, unlevel doors, and a dented cabinet door.
The new cabinets that were installed were too short relative to the old. This left plumbing exposed such that a new countertop can’t be installed until plumbing work is done.
I requested that they complete this work ~20x over a three week period. Despite repeatedly saying they were coming out to fix the job, they would no-show and ghost my texts/calls.
See for yourself what their work looks like. This is a rare job where the before remodeling picture is comically better than the after.
As far as the countertop, they took me to two stone dealers to select stone. They gave the impression that they can do countertops, but I don’t think they can, as my stone installation contract was with a separate company. They never said “we can’t do stone, here are vendors you can use” but that appears to be the case.
A stated requisite of the job was that I could use the same vendor for both cabinets and countertops. You also see how the new cabinets destroyed the old wall covering. So now I also have to pay to repair all the wall exposed by cabinets smaller than the old ones. The exact reason I wanted to use one vendor was so that myopic work to fix a cabinet isn’t lost in the goal of improving the overall appearance of the space.
At a minimum I would not pay them until the work is complete. Their responsiveness and professionalism fell off a cliff after I paid them for the initial cabinet installation.
Review Reply: Darwind/Dylan is a liar and a completely unprofessional contractor. I'm super glad I restricted them to this small trial job rather than using them on the other remodeling projects I have done and will be doing at this property.
Let's expose a few of the lies in his reply message:
(1) Dylan was not an adult 8 years ago. He was maybe 10-15 years old 8 years ago.
(2) This is their fourth 1-star review just on this app in the past two years (some may be deleted or have aged out). All of the 1-star reviews say the same thing - sloppy work, done in a hurry, and ghosting once paid - even if the work was not complete or satisfactory.
(3) The cost of his cabinetinstallation was $1198.39, not $500. A "whole kitchen" consists of more than just cabinets. In fact his sloppy haphazard cabinetinstallation work had to be re-done by other installers so that the countertop could be installed. This corrective work cost >$1000 extra. ~$2750 for 6 lineal feet of improperly installed cheap cabinets is not a bargain. Dylan notes that they did this job in just one day. In fact they did the work in half a day, and that rushed pace of work shows in the low installation quality (see pictures).
(4) The only thing that confused me was Dylan lying about being able to doing cabinets and countertops together. They have no stone-cutting capacities and don't do countertops. Had they not lied about being unable to do stone, I would not have selected them for this job, which is why they lied about being able to do stone. Their cabinet-only focus means they completely ignored the problems created by their sloppy cabinet installation relative to the rest of the kitchen.
(Conclusion) I would never use these vendors again, and strongly advise anyone considering using them to choose someone else where you might pay more up front, but at least they will stand by their work, and their work won't have to be redone by true professionals.
The end of this job was 20+ texts/calls by me to Dylan attempting to schedule a repair date. I was extremely patient and persistent despite him not replying for 3-5 day stretches at a time. Dylan no-showed all three of the repair dates he committed to. The final no-show combined with his prior low quality inadequate work led to this 1 star review.

Hired to installcabinets. His price was fair. The quality of work and customer service were average...
He put two cabinet doors on backwards. I had to reinstall those myself so they swung properly.
I noticed a few minor issues with the cabinets while doing a final walk through with him.
He was to quick to blame the manufacturer instead of taking a harder look at the issue at hand and solving the problem. All the issues were in fact correctable, I ended up hiring a different contractor corrected the matter.
I was trying to clarify a few things with him while ordering the material at a cabinet store and he got smart saying "he was busy, and needed to pay him more if I wanted him to design the cabinets".
I asked him to call me a few times to finish up the job and I couldn't get a hold of him.
Asked him about a few issues we had with the cabinets and he blamed it on the manufacturer.

Luis was great, very professional and friendly. He installed a medicine cabinet for me in the bathroom. All went smooth and quick. Best of all when he quoted the price it was exactly what I had in mind for that job. Thanks Luis, good job.

Luis was fantastic! He was very responsive to my questions and even provided recommendations when we ran into a small issue with the filler I bought. He was professional and completed the project quickly and with very high quality work! We were very impressed and very glad we went with Luis to install our cabinets.
