"Excellent job! We hired the company for few projects- custom walk-in closets, cabinets and laundry. The precision and attention to detail was exceptional. It was very nice to work with and they listened to every request we made. We were very pleased with the overall experience and will hire them again. Strongly recommend."

"Matthew was a pleasure to work with from our initial meeting. He listened to our ideas, made suggestions, provided detailed options, and was very flexible as we iterated throughout the design process. We could not be happier with the outcome! He’s also incredibly kind and was very easy to work with - communication and flexibility was great! The photos show the after - he replaced the lower cabinets with new, larger cabinets that have a drawer, and build the entire bench with three drawers and got us the custom cushion. The functionality of this has been a game changer!"

"I hired Pauly Korzon at I Kustom Inc to do a full custom kitchen renovation of my parents’ condo. The before and after photos below show what an incredibly beautiful job he did. We are beyond delighted with the final outcome! Even beyond the top quality custom work he produced, Pauly was an utmost professional in every aspect. The project was completed on time with no price overruns. He took responsibility for the entire remodel from making the initial drawings to helping us purchase appliances, to helping my parents move out of the kitchen and back in! He was there for every aspect of the job to make sure everything got done to perfection and communicated with me daily. Pauly is an incredible human being with such a caring, conscientious heart and formidable work ethic. He made even my mom, who doesn’t speak English, feel like he was a part of our family! Even now she speaks of him with such fondness. He really went over and beyond! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience."

"I couldn't be more thrilled with the work MM Cabinets did in my home. From the initial consultation to the final installation, Mirsad demonstrated professionalism, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for quality craftsmanship. He listened carefully to my ideas and offered expert suggestions that brought my vision to life even better than I imagined. The custom cabinets they built are not only beautiful but also incredibly functional, maximizing every inch of space with a seamless design. The materials are top-notch, and the finish is flawless. Installation was smooth, on time, and spotless—truly a stress-free experience. If you're looking for a cabinet company that combines artistry with practicality, look no further than MM Cabinets. I highly recommend them to anyone who values quality, reliability, and exceptional customer service."

"Jesse was very professional. I drew up a design bookshelves and he offered his input to improve the design. He was very thoughtful in his ideas and construction methods to make the bookshelves fit well in the space I wanted them. The bookshelves turned out wonderfully and I will be asking Jesse to build more cabinets for me."

Cabinet Making FAQs, answered by experts

The cost of cabinet installation is influenced by several factors, including the material and type of cabinets, the level of customization, labor rates, and any additional features such as soft-close mechanisms or hardware upgrades.

While a three-inch center-to-center handle is common, there’s no guarantee that sizing will be the same for every cabinet. Different types of handles have different sized holes to attach them and there are lots of different cabinet handle widths and styles. You should measure to be sure you know the size of a handle and to avoid surprises.

While having an assistant to help ensure safety and to lend a hand is desirable, if someone isn't around to assist, you can install kitchen cabinets on your own. Normal kitchen cabinet installation starts with the upper wall cabinets. If you're working on your own, consider installing the bases first and building a temporary support structure on top of them to help you install the uppers.

Custom cabinets made from solid wood tend to last the longest, remaining in good condition for 20 to 50 years. Cabinet lifespan depends on upkeep, the amount of heat and moisture inside the home, and general wear and tear. Popular hardwood options include oak, cherry, maple, walnut, and hickory. Its longevity means that solid wood is more expensive than alternative materials like furniture board, laminate, and plywood. The average cost of solid wood cabinets ranges from $100 to $1,200 per linear foot.

The cost to install a kitchen island can range from $900 to $6,500, with an average price of around $4,800 for most homeowners. The final cost depends on whether you choose a prefabricated or custom-built option. It is generally cheaper to buy a prefabricated island than to build one from scratch. A budget-friendly prefabricated cart can cost between $150 and $900, while a permanent prefabricated stationary island costs from $900 to $5,000. Custom-built kitchen islands average $4,800 but can cost $10,000 or more, depending on factors like materials, size, design complexity, and accessibility.
