"n Summer of 2023, my pregnant wife and I confirmed that there was asbestos in the popcorn ceiling in our home built in the 1970s. We knew we didn't want to risk exposing our son to the asbestos so we contacted some asbestos abatement companies to find out what it would take. What we learned was discouraging: we would need to move everything (and I mean *everything*) out of our home and the entire ceiling would need to be scraped. Since our household was getting upturned anyway, we decided it was time to go ahead and have some renovations done that we had been thinking about. Primarily, the kitchen. The biggest hurdle in our way was our January 2024 due date. We had six months to design, gut, build, paint, and install everything before the due date. Sean took us on as new clients knowing it would be a tight deadline to meet even if everything went as according to plan. We laid out a plan for how to get there in town and thought we could get to a functional (if not complete) kitchen before the due date. During our first meeting with Sean, over pancakes, we discussed all of our ideas for the space. Sean was quick to put together a design plan and make adjustments over the next few weeks. Coordination with the asbestos abatement, Remtech Environmental, was smooth and the renovation proceeded as expected. Then our baby boy came into the world more than a month early. We were living in a hotel with our newborn baby and two dogs while we awaited the completion of the renovation. You can imagine the pressure this put on Sean, a father himself, and the rest of his associates. Working late days and weekends, enough was completed that we could move back in just in time for Christmas. But you better believe they were back at it on New Year's Day! Everything was completed by the end January 2024. That first month of our son's life was such a tender time for our family, but Sean and his team were nothing but respectful. Having them around posed no problem, it was actually kind of nice having them around to chat with during our numerous coffee refills (baby boy was not a good sleeper). From start to finish, Sean provided us with professionalism, creative freedom, and fair and clear pricing, including when we made changes that would change the price. Everyone we had the pleasure of working with was respectful and provided excellent attention to detail. On the few occasions that we did find an error, it was addressed and fixed quickly. Even months later Sean is still checking in to make sure everything is still to our satisfaction. We look forward to working with him again in the future."

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.
