Frequently Asked Questions
Custom cabinets are built specifically for your space with precise measurements and your choice of materials, styles, and features. This approach eliminates fillers and maximizes space utilization while allowing unlimited design possibilities. Stock cabinets come in predetermined sizes and limited style options, requiring your space to adapt to the cabinets rather than the reverse. Semi-custom cabinets offer some size flexibility and more finish options than stock but still have significant limitations compared to truly custom work.
The complete process typically takes 6-10 weeks from initial consultation to completed installation. Design and approval usually require 1-2 weeks, fabrication takes 3-6 weeks depending on complexity and current production volume, and installation requires 1-3 days for most projects. We provide a detailed timeline during the proposal phase and keep you updated on progress throughout the process.
We offer a wide range of premium hardwoods including maple, cherry, oak, walnut, alder, and mahogany. For cabinet boxes, we use furniture-grade plywood rather than particle board for superior strength and moisture resistance. We also offer eco-friendly options like bamboo and reclaimed wood, as well as high-quality laminates and thermofoil for specific applications. All materials are selected for both aesthetic quality and performance characteristics appropriate to their intended use.
Custom cabinet pricing is influenced by several factors: material selection (with exotic hardwoods commanding premium prices), design complexity, cabinet size and quantity, special features and storage accessories, finish type, and installation challenges. We provide detailed, itemized estimates that clearly explain all cost components. While custom cabinets represent a significant investment, they offer superior quality, perfect fit, and optimal space utilization compared to mass-produced alternatives.
We offer comprehensive design services as part of our cabinet process, with experienced designers who specialize in cabinetry for kitchens, bathrooms, and other spaces. However, we also gladly collaborate with your interior designer, architect, or contractor if you prefer. Our design team can work from existing plans or start from scratch based on your needs and preferences. Either approach results in detailed cabinet plans and 3D renderings before fabrication begins.
Yes, we specialize in matching existing cabinetry when creating additions or replacements. Our process involves carefully analyzing your current cabinets' wood species, construction details, door style, and finish characteristics. We then create new cabinets that seamlessly integrate with your existing pieces. While exact matching of aged finishes can be challenging, our finishing experts are skilled at creating harmonious results even when perfect matching isn't possible.
We provide a 5-year warranty on craftsmanship and materials for all our custom cabinetry. This warranty covers structural integrity, drawer and door operation, and finish durability under normal use conditions. Hardware components like hinges and drawer slides typically carry manufacturers' warranties ranging from lifetime to 5 years, depending on the specific product. We document all warranty information clearly in our contracts and provide maintenance guidelines to help you protect your investment.
Yes, we offer complete removal and responsible disposal of existing cabinetry as part of our installation service. This includes disconnection of sinks and appliances (though we recommend licensed plumbers and electricians for complex utility work), careful demolition to protect surrounding surfaces, and proper disposal or recycling of all materials. We can also arrange for salvageable cabinets to be donated to organizations like Habitat for Humanity when appropriate.
Proper maintenance of custom cabinets is straightforward but important for long-term beauty. For wood cabinets, we recommend regular dusting with a soft cloth and cleaning with a mild soap solution when needed, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Periodic application of quality cabinet wax (typically once or twice yearly) helps protect the finish and maintain luster. We provide detailed care instructions specific to your cabinet materials and finishes upon project completion.
Yes, we partner with reputable financing companies to offer several payment options for qualified clients. These include no-interest plans for up to 12 months and longer-term financing with competitive rates. We can provide information about current financing options during your consultation, allowing you to make the best decision for your budget while still achieving the custom cabinets you desire.
