"Our basement flooded recently due to a sump pump failure. Our floor to ceiling storage and entertainment unti needed to be torn out and replaced. I hired Paul after using this website and reading the reviews and speaking with him on the phone. He stayed in contact with me throughout the process and got the job finished 1 week ahead of the estimated timeline. Both my wife and I love the new built in unit Paul and his team built for us. It is beautiful and we simply love it. Paul is easy to work with, very professional and did everything he said he would in a very timely manner. I would recommend him and I will hire him in the future without a doubt!"

"Paul Barton's (owner) work demonstrates his commitment to perfection and customer satisfaction. ALL of the cabinets were both built by and installed by Paul himself, who came out on several occassions to ensure we were in agreement on the layout and specific cabinet style requested for each piece. He also met our timeline, which was especially challenging (between Thanksgiving and Christmas).
The great thing about using Paul is that he can do whatever you want (he never once said no or complained about what we wanted). We had some very specific requests, dimensions and layout ideas (all of which Paul accommodated or provided a better solution to). There were changes we requested throughout the build, which Paul accomodated as well (without changing his price). 
The kitchen and laundry room are exactly what we wanted, at a lower price than we were able to find at any retailer or through any other contractor (we looked at a lot of places), plus Pauls' cabinets are all solid wood (3/4" boxes vs. partical board), were INSET (typically much more than regular cabinets), certain of them were painted (we could pick ANY color at Sherwin-Williams), the island was stained, some doors had glass, while others were wood. The INSET doors all line up PERFECTLY, if you know about cabinets, this is especially challenging. All of the other contractors who did work at our house after Paul (countertops, general contractor, tile guy, appliance guys) were equally impressed with his work. 
Paul is also very clean and my wife and kids felt very comfortable around him and his assistant. Other places may provide fancier drawings or brochures (Paul drew our kitchen layout and dimensions with a pencil and notepad as we decided what we wanted), but don't let that get in your way of using him. He also provided us a quote on the spot and stuck to it. While it is a semi-leap of faith to pay someone 50% up-front several months in advance, I would do it again in a heartbeat.
If I had to guess, probably 95% of Paul's work comes from referrals and word-of-mouth of actual customers and their friends who see his work at their house, which isn't a coincidence. If you're lucky enough to stumble across Paul (he's low key) do yourself a favor and get in the queue.  You won't regret it.

Cabinet Making questions, answered by experts

In many homes, upper cabinets are installed with a 1- to 2-foot gap between the tops and the ceiling. However, many homeowners extend their cabinets to the ceiling to gain extra storage and a polished, built-in look.

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.

Building a bathroom cabinet can be cheaper than buying one, especially if you have woodworking skills and tools. The cost of materials can be less than that of a premade cabinet. However, buying a ready-made cabinet might be more convenient and cost-effective if you factor in your time and effort. Custom-built cabinets offer more flexibility in design and materials, while pre-made options provide ease and faster installation.

Most assemblies take 1-3 hours, but larger units or those requiring wall mounting may take longer.

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.
