"Half of my house is nearly 100 years old, and this is where the kitchen is located. I wanted to keep with the style of the era, but also get some modern updates for functionality. Cory and his team did an outstanding job. From the initial CAD drawings to the end of job tweaking and everything in between, they went above and beyond my expectations. The quality of construction and expert installation (Thank you Tommy!) on a custom job in an old home was not a simple task, but these guys give great attention to and care about the details which show up in the end result. The project was done on time. Cory had an immediate interest in hearing and understanding what I was asking for. His good and timely communication was also very appreciated. Quality workmanship. I will definitely hire again."

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.
