Why is it better to finish cabinets at your shop rather than on-site?

Our spray booths and finish lines provide a clean, controlled, dust-free environment. It also keeps the fumes off the job site and out of the atmosphere.

Why should I buy custom cabinets instead of standard sized cabinets?

Custom cabinets will make better use of your space than standard sized stock cabinets with filler strips. Cabinets shipped locally are less likely to get damaged and any problems can be resolved quickly so projects are not delayed. Custom cabinets typically are higher quality and better able to express your style with special design features, quality finishes and professional installations.

How can I get an estimate for my project?

What type of finish do you use and why?

We use a high-end post catalyzed water-resistant varnish. It is hard and durable, and scratch and water resistant. Our finishers sand between coats to acquire a furniture-style look and feel. We also work with custom finishes, such as glaze, whitewash and distressing to curate the look you always dreamt of.

Are cabinets made from HDF (High Density Fiberboard) inferior to those made of hardwood, plywood or solid wood?

HDF is typically used by most high-end cabinet shops (along with paint-grade poplar) when cabinets are painted because it is extremely dense and therefore does not shift as much as wood, especially during season changes with fluctuating humidity levels.

What type of hinges and drawer slides do you use?

We use BluMotion soft close hinges and drawer slides.  They are a high quality product and are extremely smooth and quiet. Blum also stands behind their hardware with a lifetime limited warranty.

What species of wood is most popular in the Midwest right now?

We frequently work with cherry, clear and knotty alder, maple, white oak, and walnut.

What colors are popular for painted cabinets and will hold their appeal over time?

Whites, off-whites, beige/taupes, and greens are our most popular colors; we have 16 standard paint colors to choose from and 8 paint stains. Specialty colors can be chosen from Sherwin Williams paint chart (paint set-up costs will apply).

How can I choose a cabinet color and be confident in how it will look in my space?

How we perceive color is personal. However, the color and intensity of ambient and artificial light and reflected color from adjacent surfaces will affect how the cabinets look. To anticipate how a color will shift at different times of the day, cabinet sample pieces will be loaned so they can be placed where the cabinets will be installed and observe it for a few days. Each cabinet set will be accompanied by 3D Renderings so you can visualize your layout in real life! 

Should all cabinets in a room be made of the same materal and finished the same color?

It is popular to emphasize an island or focal point cabinet with a different wood type or stain or paint color.

How can I keep the contents of my cabinets organized?

Spice racks, tray dividers, knife holders, pot lid organizers and Tupperware organizers will help.

How can I make my cabinets more accessible?

Roll out shelves, full-extension drawer slides, wide opening hinges and frameless cabinets enhance access. There also are accessories available for corners or hard to reach spaces.
