When it comes to kitchen cabinets, it's the finer details that wow people. Go with a certain period style, create a European air, opt for a pretty and practical design, or put an emphasis on trendy finishing touches like exposed strap hinges. Different looks can work to streamline a kitchen or make it a centerpiece of the whole house. Whatever your preferred style, our carpenters will deliver!

Kitchen cabinets provide storage that frees up your counter space to maximize efficiency. New cabinets will help keep your cooking area organized and give your kitchen a makeover at the same time! The contemporary feel of dark finishes is currently trending, though if your kitchen has more of a country style, a lighter cabinet contrasted with dark countertops may be more appropriate. We offer your choice of colors, materials, and styles. And don't forget about specialty options like a pull-out spice rack or a sidemount for pots and pans.

The type of material used for your kitchen cabinets will make a big difference in the way they look and how long they last. Hardwoods are the best options, though often they are used only as a veneer applied over a plywood base. This can add stability and prevent warping in high-humidity areas. Red oak is a popular choice because it is durable and affordable, with pronounced grain patterns which offer a traditional look. White oak is slightly stronger, with golden tones and a subtle grain. Hard maple is a little more expensive and is generally given a natural finish to accentuate its light contemporary look. Other options include hickory, cherry, birch, ash, and pine. Just keep in mind the primary features you should take into consideration: grain, color, and construction. Read More
