"I wanted a custom piece in my master bedroom that I could use for clothes storage and that would also double as a small desk space. I had a vision of what I wanted and Ryan was able to design it perfectly. He and Neal gave me everything I wanted, including four file cabinets drawers that blend seamlessly into the entire piece. They did amazing work, were fast and professional!"

"Our remodeled kitchen exceeded all expectations. Leoni’s eye for design brought our ideas to life, creating an open and functional layout perfect for entertaining. The team’s craftsmanship was top-notch, and they respected our home, leaving it clean each day. The project was finished on time and within budget, and our kitchen now feels like a welcoming and sophisticated part of our home. I’d recommend McCormick to anyone wanting a home transformation without stress!"

"DB Construction remodeled our kitchen and we had a really great experience working with David and his team. I’m pretty detail oriented (probably overly picky to be honest haha), and David was very patient and accommodating throughout the entire process. He really paid attention to the small things and made sure everything was done exactly how we wanted. He was upfront about costs and timelines. His crew showed up when they said they would, were respectful of our home, and kept the workspace as clean as possible during the remodel. The finished kitchen came out great, cabinets are lined up perfectly, countertops look amazing, and the backsplash and finishing details really tied everything together. You can tell they care about the quality of their work and not just rushing to finish the job. Overall, we’re really happy we chose DB Construction would recommend."

Cabinet Contractors questions, answered by experts

Since there are many methods of repairing your cabinets, including refacing and refinishing, it can be tricky to know when to replace or fix your existing cabinets. Generally, it’s best to repair your existing cabinets when the cabinet boxes are in good condition. Additionally, this option is best when you’re being budget-friendly or remodeling. 

Replacing your cabinets is best when you’re changing the layout of the room or when the cabinet boxes are in rough shape. It’s also best to replace your cabinets if you need more storage space, as this will remove the existing cabinets for new ones.

The cost to install a kitchen island ranges from $900 to $6,500, with an average price of around $4,800. The final cost depends on whether you buy a prefabricated unit or have one custom-built. Prefabricated kitchen islands are generally cheaper. A simple prefabricated cart can cost between $150 and $900, while a permanent, stationary prefabricated island costs from $900 to $5,000. A custom-built kitchen island averages around $4,800 but can cost $10,000 or more depending on factors like materials, size, design complexity, and accessibility.

Unless otherwise specified in the manufacturer’s instructions, in most cases you should attach the hinges to the cabinet door before attaching it to the cabinet frame. Once you attach the hinge to the door, you can then align it with the cabinet frame and screw it firmly into place. Be sure to consult the manufacturer’s instructions for best practices.

While most kitchen island installations do not require a permit, some situations do. Any major kitchen renovation will require one, and depending on your municipality, you might also need one if you install new plumbing or electrical work. 

Your kitchen island installation pro will be able to determine if you need a permit for your job, which can run you between $460 and $2,900, depending on the permits required.

The Janka Hardness Scale rates wood species according to their hardness levels or density. On the scale, hickory ranks as the most dense hardwood that is common for use in making cabinets. While there are woods that are harder, they're uncommon in cabinetry. Maple, oak, and walnut also rank relatively high on the scale and are excellent for use in cabinetry.
