"Roman is very detailed and knowledgeable. I've never had a contractor who tried that hard to understand the job even before coming for a quote. Very easy to get a hold of as well which is rare for contractors from this site. Would highly 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 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."

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.

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.

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.

You can stack upper kitchen cabinets, but they may not fit neatly. Because upper kitchen cabinets are typically available in these standard sizes—12, 15, 18, 24, 30, 36, and 42 inches—you can stack various-sized upper cabinets. But, depending on your ceiling height, these standard sizes may not work together. That’s why smaller stacked cabinets are a much more stylish and economical choice.

To estimate the cost of your kitchen cabinet installation, measure along the wall where you want your cabinets to be. Add up the linear feet, remembering to include both upper cabinets and lower cabinets in your total. Then, calculate the cost by multiplying the average price per linear foot of the type of cabinet you plan to install by the total length you measured.
