"These guys are incredible. They refaced our kitchen cabinets in North Carolina. We were so pleased that we asked them to build, install, and face the kitchen cabinets in our new house in Virginia. They are meticulous in every aspect of their work - from keeping a clean workspace to making sure every little detail of their work is perfect. This work required them to come to the worksite in Virginia, get all the measurements they needed, fabricating the cabinet boxes, having all the drawer boxes, drawer fronts, and cabinet doors fabricated in solid wood, then bringing all that material up to Virginia and spending 3 days installing and facing the cabinets. My wife and I are thrilled at the end result and continue to be impressed by the individuals who actually do the installation. I whole-heartedly recommend AMR."

Customers say: Quality work

"We hired Tommy Phillips to update our kitchen. He installed new cabinets with soft close doors and pullout shelves. He built a kitchen buffet and hutch and, in addition, he built a computer desk with a drawer for files. He also installed crown moulding throughout our condo. He is an excellent carpenter and very easy to work with."

"Ryan and his crew are the nicest people. They are great at what they do. I had a small water leak that was caused by an improperly installed atrium door. They had to totally re-install the door and correct the water leak. They cleaned up after themselves and I couldn't be happier with the work they did."

"I hired Briteway to install pull out drawers in my kitchen cabinets. Rich was very prompt in coming out to look at the job, gave me some ideas & suggestions, took measurements & said he would send a cost estimate. His price quote was prompt, detailed & competitive. He came out again for final measurements & said he would be back the next day to do the install. I love the pull-outs & the quality of the work. I would highly recommend Briteway for any of your carpentry needs - you wonâ t be disappointed."

"I had an amazing experience with Go Assemblers. I have already recommended this business to 3 other people, and will definitely use this service again in the future. They painted my home so beautifully for a very fair price, and even installed new fans as an additional project."

Cabinet Contractors FAQs, answered by experts

Whether you install flooring before or after kitchen cabinets depends primarily on the type of flooring you are using. For materials like hardwood, tile, and sheet flooring, the best practice is to install the flooring first. This ensures the cabinets are installed at the correct height and on a stable surface. However, you should not install cabinets on top of floating floors, such as laminate or luxury vinyl plank (LVP). These types of flooring need room to expand and contract with temperature and humidity changes. Placing heavy cabinets on top can restrict this movement, potentially causing the floor to buckle and making the cabinets unstable. For floating floors, install the cabinets first and then lay the flooring up to them. Other reasons to consider installing cabinets before the flooring include saving money on materials (since you won't need flooring under the cabinets) and avoiding potential damage to your new floor during cabinet installation. Additionally, installing cabinets directly on the subfloor might prevent voiding your flooring's warranty.

Installation typically takes 2-3 days, depending on the kitchen size and preparation needed.

If your walls aren’t plumb, it can make installing frameless cabinets difficult because they require precise measurements so they don’t show imperfections. Any dissymmetry with installation can cause the doors and drawers to not function correctly. Frameless cabinets are also thicker and heavier, making them harder to install by yourself.

It depends on whether you buy pre-made stacked cabinets or construct them from scratch. If you build added cabinets from scratch, you can expect it to take several hours or days to build each one and then another two to three days for installation. Then, after painting your new cabinets, you should allow a few weeks for the paint to dry thoroughly before installing them over your existing cabinets.

It is typically cheaper to buy stock or semi-custom cabinets than to build custom ones. The price difference is significant:

  • Custom Cabinets: Cost between $500 and $1,200 per linear foot. This price is affected by materials, size, design complexity, and door styles. For instance, a simple slab door's materials might cost $60-$70, while a decorative mullioned glass door could be $100-$200.

  • Semi-Custom Cabinets: Cost between $150 and $700 per linear foot.

  • Stock Cabinets: Cost between $100 and $400 per linear foot.

While buying pre-built cabinets is more cost-effective, building custom cabinets allows for full modification to fit unique spaces, such as rooms with high ceilings or unusual layouts, which stock options cannot accommodate.
