Kitchen cabinetry is the most impactful renovation in any home. We offer a full design-to-install service: we design the layout, source cabinets, and install everything including uppers, lowers, pantries, crown moulding, and hardware.
We measure the space and create a design in 3D. Once the cabinet order is confirmed and delivered, we install using a plumb laser reference, shimming and scribing all cabinets to plumb and level before hardware and doors are set.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the lead time from design to cabinet installation?
For semi-custom cabinets (stock sizes, custom finishes), lead time is typically 6-10 weeks from order confirmation to delivery. Fully custom cabinetry runs 10-16 weeks depending on the manufacturer and complexity. We build the lead time into the project schedule so it doesn't hold up your renovation - design and ordering happen at the start while other trades are working.
Can you work around existing countertops during a cabinet installation?
We can, but it adds complexity. If the countertop material is being reused, we carefully remove and store it, install the new cabinets, and reinstall. Countertop reuse works best with butcher block or tile - stone slabs are often templated to the original cabinets and won't fit new ones. We advise on countertop strategy during the design phase.
How do you handle leveling cabinets on an uneven floor?
All base cabinets are installed level regardless of what the floor is doing. We use adjustable cabinet legs or solid wood shims under the cabinet base to bring everything to a level reference line. The toe kick covers the gap. Getting the cabinets level is non-negotiable - out-of-level base cabinets make door gaps uneven and countertop installation very difficult.
What is the cabinet box made from?
Our standard cabinet boxes use 5/8" or 3/4" furniture-grade plywood with hardwood veneer or melamine interior - not particleboard. Plywood holds screws far better, is much more durable in high-humidity environments like kitchens, and is significantly stronger. Door and drawer fronts are typically solid wood or MDF depending on the line selected.
