Custom Cabinets - While some homeowners decide to choose cabinets from a company that offers a simple to install premade cabinet set into their kitchen or bathroom, others hire a custom cabinet maker to build them the kitchen or bathroom of their dreams.
Custom cabinets are a work of art and generally are created by professionals who have been trained by master carpenters. They should have plenty of experience working with cabinetry and other detailed woodworking projects. The work that is performed can be very detailed and does add extra labor to the costs and time to the schedule of the project.
Custom cabinets will provide your home with cabinetry specially designed to not only suit your needs, but also your space. When remodeling a kitchen or bathroom and space is of the essence, then hiring a custom cabinet maker to build your cabinets from scratch is the only way to go.
The first thing to do is to check for licensing, insurance and references of your prospective cabinet maker prior to hiring them for your kitchen project. Without a long list of past satisfied customers, the proper license and insurance, then you may be getting a cabinet company that’s not up to other cabinet maker’s standards.
A custom cabinet maker’s job begins when they visit your home for an estimate. Some cabinet makers have their own shops and showrooms allowing you to get a good idea of what they do and the quality of their work. Make sure when visiting the showroom or shop, bring a sketch of your kitchen or bathrooms dimensions. This will allow your prospective cabinet maker to come up with a design that suits your idea of a dream kitchen or bathroom.
Once the cabinet blueprint has been drawn up by the custom cabinet maker and you approve of the project, they will go back to their shop and create the cabinetry. After a few weeks, the cabinetry is ready to be installed; the workers come back and install the final product. While the cabinetry, trim and final details of the project are completed by the cabinet makers, marble, granite and other costly materials may not be installed by the cabinet makers. |
