Many people ask why custom manufacturing kitchen cabinetry takes so much longer than stock, off-the-shelf cabinets that can be found at Home Depot, Lowes, and Consumers. Quite simply, it’s because each cabinet is made by hand based upon each customer’s unique specifications of height, width, door style, and finish.
fabricated cabinet boxes and doors
Each kitchen job is fabricated by one master cabinet builder- this ensures the job gets done correctly and there is no mis-communication. Once the entire job is assembled, the entire kitchen goes to sanding.
each door front, drawer, shelf, and cabinet box is hand sanded
Once sanding is completed the entire kitchen job gets either pre-stained or primed, depending upon whether stain or paint is to be applied. All of our stains and paints are hand mixed, so our customers are not limited like they would be with stock cabinets.

The primed or pre-stained boxes (and doors, drawer fronts, shelves, etc) then head to finishing, their last stop before delivery/installation. Finishing takes the longest to complete as all paints and stains are applied by hand. Special finished, such as glazes, are hand brushed, nothing is applied by automated machine. Our finishes are artisan quality.
