Products & Selection

What cabinet brands do you carry?
We carry 12 premium manufacturers: Fabuwood, Cubitac, Wolf Classic, CNC Cabinetry, TSG Forevermark, JSI Cabinetry, Century 21, K2 Kitchens, Ferma, Urban Effects (semi-custom), Kitchen Craft (semi-custom), and Brighton Cabinetry (full custom). That's over 300 door styles to choose from.
What's the difference between stock, semi-custom, and custom cabinets?
Stock cabinets are pre-manufactured in standard sizes with fixed options—fastest delivery (1-2 weeks) and most affordable. Semi-custom offers more sizes, finishes, and modifications with 4-6 week lead times. Full custom cabinets are built to your exact specifications with unlimited options, taking 6-8 weeks.
Do your cabinets come with soft-close hinges?
Yes! All our stock cabinet lines include soft-close hinges and drawer slides as standard features. Most use BLUM Blumotion hardware, the industry leader in soft-close technology.
Can I see cabinet samples before ordering?
Absolutely. Visit our Howell showroom to see door samples, finish options, and full cabinet displays. We have samples from all 12 manufacturers. You can also take our virtual showroom tour online.
Do you carry RTA (ready-to-assemble) cabinets?
We focus on assembled cabinets for the best quality and convenience. However, some of our lines are available in RTA format if you prefer to save on costs and assemble yourself. Ask about RTA options when you get your estimate.

Delivery & Installation

How long does delivery take?
Stock cabinets typically deliver within 1-2 weeks. Semi-custom orders take 4-6 weeks, and full custom cabinets require 6-8 weeks. Rush delivery may be available for urgent projects—ask for details.

We inspect all cabinets before delivery and pack them carefully. If any damage occurs, document it at delivery and contact us immediately. We'll arrange replacement of damaged pieces promptly at no additional cost.

Design Services

Do you offer kitchen design services?
Yes! We offer two options: "You Design" where we provide tools and guidance for you to create your own layout, and "We Design" where our professional designers create a complete kitchen plan based on your measurements and preferences. Both include free consultations.
How do I measure my kitchen for cabinets?
We have a detailed measuring guide on our website. Basic measurements include wall lengths, ceiling height, window/door locations, and appliance positions. For best results, visit our showroom and we'll walk you through the process or schedule a consultation.
Can you work with my contractor?
Absolutely. We regularly coordinate with contractors, designers, and builders. We can provide detailed cabinet specifications, delivery scheduling, and technical support throughout your project.
Do you design for renovations or new construction?
Both! Whether you're renovating an existing kitchen or building new, our design services accommodate all project types. New construction projects benefit from early involvement to ensure proper cabinet specifications.

Warranty & Support

What warranty do your cabinets have?
Warranty varies by manufacturer. Fabuwood and Brighton offer lifetime warranties. Most other brands provide limited lifetime or 5-year warranties. All warranties cover defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.
How do I care for my new cabinets?
Clean cabinets with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, and excessive moisture. Wipe up spills promptly. For detailed care instructions, we provide manufacturer care guides with every order.
Can I order replacement parts or additional cabinets later?
Yes, most manufacturers keep styles in production for years. We can order matching cabinets, doors, or hardware for additions or replacements. Keep your original order information for easy reordering.
