How long is the lead time?

Five to eight weeks from drawing approval to delivery. We order long-lead hardware the day you sign.

Can you match existing cabinets?

We can match a color closely and a profile exactly, but a perfect match to an aged finish is rarely achievable, and we'll be honest about it.

Do you sell cabinets only?

Yes. Cabinetry-only packages include delivery, install and the season adjustment visit.

What woods do you use?

Maple and poplar for painted work, white oak, walnut and rift oak for stained. Others on request.

What’s included

Included at no extra cost

Shop drawings, hardware layout and a lifetime hardware warranty.

Shop drawings

Every box dimensioned and approved by you before material is cut.

Door style & finish

Slab, shaker, inset or beaded, sprayed in a controlled booth, not on site.

Interior planning

Pull-outs, spice racks, tray dividers and trash sized to your actual bins.

Millwork & panels

Good questions

The things people ask on the first call.

Still unsure? Send a note below and we’ll talk it through on the first call.

Frameless gives roughly 10% more usable interior. Inset reads more traditional and costs about 20% more in labor. We'll walk you through both on a video call.
