General Questions

Most custom cabinet projects are completed within 4-6 weeks from design approval. This includes 2-3 weeks for construction in our workshop and 1-2 weeks for installation. Kitchen remodels typically take 4-5 weeks, while bathroom vanities can be completed in 3-4 weeks. Complex projects with multiple rooms may take 6-8 weeks.

We specialize in premium hardwoods including oak, maple, cherry, walnut, hickory, and birch. We also work with engineered woods like plywood and MDF for painted finishes. Each wood type has unique characteristics - oak offers durability and prominent grain, maple provides smooth finish for painting, cherry develops rich patina over time, and walnut offers luxurious dark tones.

Yes, we provide completely free in-home consultations and estimates for all cabinet projects. This includes measuring your space, discussing your vision, and providing a detailed written quote within 48 hours. There's no obligation and no pressure - we want you to feel confident in your decision.

Pricing & Payment

Several factors influence the final price: wood species selection, cabinet size and complexity, hardware choices, finish options, and any special features like soft-close drawers or pull-out shelves. Kitchen cabinets start at $8,500, bathroom vanities at $2,200, and built-ins at $3,200. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards. We require a 30% deposit to begin work, 50% at the start of installation, and final 20% upon project completion. For larger projects, we can arrange flexible payment schedules to meet your budget needs.

Yes, cabinet refacing typically costs 40-60% less than full replacement while still providing a dramatic transformation. Refacing is ideal when your cabinet boxes are structurally sound but you want to update the appearance. Starting at $1,800, it's an excellent option for budget-conscious renovations.

Installation & Materials

We minimize disruption by working efficiently and maintaining a clean workspace. Kitchen installations typically take 2-3 days, during which we can set up a temporary kitchenette if needed. We protect your floors and furniture, and clean thoroughly each day before leaving. Most families can continue living normally during the process.

Installation includes removal of old cabinets (if applicable), professional mounting, hardware installation, door and drawer adjustments, and complete cleanup. We also include a final walkthrough to ensure everything operates perfectly and provide care instructions for your new cabinets.

While we focus on cabinetry, we work closely with trusted local plumbers and electricians when needed. We can coordinate all necessary trades for your project and ensure seamless integration. Any plumbing or electrical work is billed separately by our partner contractors.

Absolutely! We can match existing cabinetry for additions or modifications. We'll analyze your current cabinets' wood species, stain color, and door style to create seamless additions. This is perfect for kitchen islands, pantry additions, or expanding existing cabinet runs.

Design & Customization

Yes! We provide detailed 3D renderings that show exactly how your cabinets will look in your space. You can see the wood grain, hardware, and how the cabinets integrate with your existing room. We make revisions until you're completely satisfied with the design before beginning construction.

We create all popular door styles including Shaker, raised panel, flat panel (slab), beadboard, and mission styles. We can also create custom profiles to match your unique vision. Each style can be crafted in your choice of wood species and finish, from natural stains to painted colors.

Absolutely! We can work with your existing layout or suggest improvements for better functionality. Many clients choose to keep their current layout to save on plumbing and electrical costs while still getting beautiful new cabinets. We'll optimize storage and workflow within your existing space.

We stand behind our work with a comprehensive warranty covering materials and workmanship. Cabinet construction is covered for 5 years, hardware for 2 years, and finishes for 3 years. We also provide lifetime support for minor adjustments and maintenance guidance.

Regular care is simple: clean with mild soap and water, dry immediately, and avoid harsh chemicals. We recommend cleaning hardware monthly and checking hinges annually.
