"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!"

"Mike was on time and quick on the draw for starting projects. We used him to finish the kitchen for us. I want to say that when he came in, our house was a disaster due to a plumbing leak in which insurance was working on with their contractor. Mike didn’t skip a beat, worked around everything and did a fantastic job on the backsplash and the can lights. I feel a little bad because I’m fairly talkative and I found several other projects for him after we decided we were listing the house. His work has been outstanding on every project so far and can tackle many jobs. He’s is about to start painting our house this week and has fixed several issues in the meantime. I would recommend Mike over and over."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Solid wood is the most common material for cabinet bases. It’s a popular choice because it’s durable and will hold up over time. Oak, maple, cherry, hickory, and pine are all types of solid wood that can be used to build cabinet bases. Other options include plywood, medium-density fiberboard, and other types of manufactured lumber, but they need to be sealed properly to avoid swelling, separating, and delamination from moisture.

Yes, there are some options for pre-built inset cabinets—and RTA ones, too—but the selection can be somewhat limited. Many homeowners who decide on inset cabinets choose to have them custom made. 

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.

For safety when installing a vanity, attaching the vanity to the wall is ideal to prevent it from moving. Typically, sinks must be 4 inches away from bathtubs. Also, most states require that you have 21 inches in front of a sink, but the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) recommends 30 inches for more comfort.

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.
