Bradco Kitchens & Baths is a family-owned kitchen and bath company with a showroom at 8455 Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles. It says it has operated for over 30 years, and its Houzz profile lists 1989 as its founding year. It designs and builds custom cabinets in its own factory, with formaldehyde-free construction, and handles kitchen and bathroom remodeling, cabinet refacing, whole-home renovations, and ADUs. Its designers have won HGTV's Designers' Challenge twice, for a kitchen and a bathroom. Its main differentiator is design depth: projects run from modest kitchens to very large custom homes, with the design and cabinetry kept in-house.
MTD Kitchen is a cabinet maker and remodeler founded in 2008, according to its site, with showrooms in North Hollywood and Anaheim. It manufactures cabinets in its own facility in North Hills and sells custom, Shaker, modern, and farmhouse styles, plus closets and accessories. It offers free design consultations with 3D renderings, and says its installers have at least 10 years of cabinetry experience. Beyond homeowners, it supplies contractors and multi-unit developers, including a 376-unit mixed-use project. Its main differentiator is factory-direct pricing across a wide range of styles and buyers.
Both companies design and build their own cabinets. Where they differ is the kind of project each is built around.
Bradco Kitchens & Baths leans toward design-led work. Its Houzz profile lists kitchen, bath, pantry, closet, mudroom, outdoor kitchen, and wine cellar design, and a typical job cost from $10,000 to $3,000,000. Its HGTV wins, a 2012 Interior Design magazine honor, and a 2013 PureBond quality award point to design and materials as its focus.
MTD Kitchen leans toward value and volume. It markets factory-direct pricing and computer-generated 3D models so customers can see a kitchen before it is built. Its Houzz profile lists a typical job cost from $4,000 to $250,000, and its product lines include named styles such as Shaker, matte, and minimal.
Why it matters: the same kitchen can be priced very differently depending on whether you are buying a design service or a cabinet package. Knowing which you want helps you compare quotes.
If you want a designer to shape the whole room, Bradco Kitchens & Baths fits. If you want well-priced custom cabinets with a clear 3D preview, MTD Kitchen fits.
Bradco Kitchens & Baths has one showroom on Beverly Boulevard near West Hollywood and Hancock Park. It lists service areas across Los Angeles, including Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Malibu, Pasadena, the South Bay, and parts of the San Fernando Valley.
