"The new cabinets at an affordable price make my entire house look new! I was extremely impressed with the professionalism and how quickly I had a brand new kitchen. Neal and Ryan were friendly and put up with my 3 nosy dogs that kept getting in the way! I would recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade your kitchen or or other cabinets. You will be happy that you hired them!"

"Classy Closets was recommended to us by the company that remodeled our master bathroom. Sean Ireland brought samples and photos to our home to help us decide what type of installation we wanted in our closet. He took measurements and then provided a couple of different sets of CAD drawings for us to choose from. He provided updates to the drawings in a timely manner and helped us to make cost-effective choices. Sean worked with us to schedule the installation to coordinate with the work in our closet. The installers arrived promptly and completed the job as scheduled. The resulting closet is beautiful. The workmanship is excellent. Our closet is oddly shaped and all the cuts/carpentry fits exactly. The drawers and doors operate beautifully and the aesthetic is just what we wanted."

"I have hired Michael Grant from Aztec Woodworking many times over the last 10 yrs for small and large projects. Michael's artistic experience helps greatly in informing his woodworking and fabrication projects. His work is high quality with great attention to detail. His pricing is very reasonable for the quality delivered. Michael is a solution oriented person which matters a lot when dealing with the smaller details of a project. He has a great personality and has never been confrontational even in the face of some challenging client situations. JA Henseler will be hiring Michael again and highly recommend Aztec Woodworking."

Cabinet Making questions, answered by experts

Since melamine is a type of laminate, both types of cabinets are similar in features and benefits, but they also differ in some ways. Melamine is generally more affordable than laminate, while also being resistant to scratches, stains, and heat. However, melamine cabinets are also heavier and may easily splinter during installation. All in all, the choice between melamine and laminate cabinets will depend on your specific needs.

In a kitchen installation, starting with the foundation and structural elements before moving on to the finishing touches is essential. Framing, plumbing, and utilities should go first, followed by cabinetry and countertops, then plumbing fixtures and new appliances. Flooring, paint, tile backsplashes, and similar finishing touches should get installed last.

If your walls aren’t plumb, it can make installing frameless cabinets difficult because they require precise measurements so they don’t show imperfections. Any dissymmetry with installation can cause the doors and drawers to not function correctly. Frameless cabinets are also thicker and heavier, making them harder to install by yourself.

The 1/3 rule is a design guideline used by interior designers and cabinet installers to select appropriately sized pulls for cabinets and drawers. The rule suggests that for a balanced and cohesive look, a cabinet pull should be approximately one-third the height of the cabinet door or one-third the width of the drawer face. This guideline helps create a symmetrical appearance because the human eye tends to follow the length of the pull across the cabinet face.

While the 1/3 rule is a helpful starting point, it is not the only option. If a measurement falls between available pull sizes, it's generally best to size up. For an ultra-contemporary aesthetic, you can also opt for full-width pulls that span the entire drawer.

Like nearly any other upgrade, new and improved kitchen cabinets can increase your property value and make your home more attractive to potential buyers. After all, the majority of home buyers consider the kitchen to be one of the most important rooms in the house. New melamine cabinets can be a big plus, particularly if you select a classic wood grain or another light neutral color that provides a blank slate for other design elements.
