Acutech is Montana's most technologically advanced metalworking facility for structural steel, high tolerance machining, and precision cutting.
"I’m very disappointed with Acutech. I visited Acutech to inquire about a kitchen countertop support. I was going with a simple 1/4” steel plate 20” x 60”. I was given a quote for $350 with the explanation that the new tariffs just caused the prices to double. That sounded high but I felt they were being honest so I placed the order. The order was ready within a week. I installed the plate. A couple of weeks later I checked in to the price of that same piece of steel from a competitor to Acutech. I found that the steel was a available for $98. I feel that Acutech took advantage of my trust. It is ultimately my responsibility to have searched out multiple quotes for my project but I never dreamed someone would charge 3-1/2 times the price of this steel plate. I went back to Acutech and told them of my disappointment and all they could say is “I’m sorry you feel that way “. I would not recommend doing business with Acutech. If you do, definitely, get additional quotes. I’m not sure how a company can stay in business with such questionable business practices."

Built-in cabinets can enhance property value by combining practical storage with architectural appeal. These permanent fixtures often appeal to potential buyers, particularly when crafted from quality materials and designed thoughtfully. The value increase varies depending on construction quality, material selection, and how well the design complements the home's overall aesthetic. Well-executed built-ins can make spaces more marketable and potentially increase sale prices.
Prefabricated cabinets cost significantly less than custom-built options. Stock cabinets offer standardized sizes and features at more affordable prices, while custom work requires skilled craftsmanship and made-to-order materials. However, custom cabinets provide a perfect fit for unusual spaces and precise style matching. The decision often depends on budget constraints, space requirements, and whether standard sizes adequately meet your needs.
Installation timelines vary considerably based on project complexity. Simple bookcase installations require only a few days, while elaborate entertainment centers or whole-room systems can extend to several weeks. The process includes initial design, fabrication, and on-site installation phases. Material availability, design revisions, and existing structural conditions can all affect completion times. Most medium-sized projects take approximately one to two weeks from start to finish.
Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) provides the best balance between affordability and performance for painted cabinets. This engineered material offers smooth surfaces ideal for paint finishes at lower costs than solid wood. For stained applications, less expensive hardwoods like poplar or pine provide reasonable durability with more economical pricing. The most cost-effective choice depends on your specific application, finish preferences, and expected lifespan requirements.
Most straightforward cabinet installations don't require permits. However, if your project involves structural modifications, electrical work for integrated lighting, or changes to load-bearing elements, permits may be necessary. Requirements vary by municipality, so checking with local building authorities before beginning is advisable. Professional installers can guide you through permit requirements when needed.
