Do you give free estimates?
We do give free in-shop estimates. We ask that you schedule an appointment to speak with us in person or through Zoom or FaceTime. You’ll need to give us a plan or drawing of your room including wall-to-wall measurements, ceiling heights, and location of existing windows, sink, refrigerator, etc. One of our design experts will go over your information with you and give you an estimate within the next few days. If you agree to the estimate, then we will come out and measure your house and start the process. See our Design/Plan Process link above for the steps to our process.
Do I need an appointment?
Yes! Because of COVID, and because we’re busy measuring, designing, building, and installing the cabinets on-site, in addition to meeting with clients, an appointment is necessary. You are welcome to drop off blueprints or kitchen drawings at any time with our employees, but when you are ready to discuss your cabinet needs in detail with one of our professional cabinet designers, we will need to set aside a time in advance to give you the personal attention you deserve.
How far in advance should I meet with you?
It’s best to plan to meet with us 4 to 6 weeks before your sheetrock stage, so we can go over your design, get your approval and down payment, then put you in line to start building your cabinets. By the time you get your sheetrock, your cabinets should be ready to install. Natural disasters and heavy workloads affect our turnaround time.
Are countertops and finish included in the price?
In our area, countertops and finish (stain or paint) do not come standard with cabinet construction. We will build your cabinets ready for the countertops and finish of your choice. We can recommend excellent subcontractors for your actual countertops, finishing, and faux finishing needs.
Can you reface just the doors and drawers of my old cabinets?
It depends on the condition of your cabinets and the quality of material they were built with. For example, if the insides of your cabinets are not solid wood, but are made of particle board, they will not support the weight of our new hinges and solid wood doors. If your drawers don’t have drawer slides but are sitting on a wooden rail, they may or may not be able to handle the weight of new drawers. Even if they are able to support them, your cabinets would have to be retrofitted with new drawer slides for the new drawers.
Do you do small jobs or repairs?
Sometimes we do small jobs (build one drawer, replace one burned or flooded cabinet, etc.). It depends on our workload and how many contractors and homeowners are already waiting to have their cabinets custom-built, especially after disasters. If we cannot do your small job, we will try to refer you to other contractors who specialize in those areas.
