"Abe is one of the exceptionally few cabinet makers serving all of eastern NC who will build to the purchaser's specifications rather than simply installing some prefab unit from a factory. When my wife and I decided to replace our old bathroom vanity, we went to Lowes. The clerk there was very helpful but all he could offer us was prefab units. The examples in the store looked to me as though they were built from some composite stuff (maybe fiberboard??) rather than real lumber. Abe built our new vanity to the exact measurements that would fit into our bathroom and built it from poplar and birch. His carpentry was excellent and he did a good job of installing it to meet all of our picky little demands. If you want the real thing, go to Abe. He is now my go-to guy."

"Sean made custom roll out shelving to install in my current cabinet and added supports to sure up the small cabinet pantry to ensure it would not separate, creating issues with new slide out wood shelving he made to fit my cabinet. It was exactly what I wanted, he designed and made it happen! 100 percent satisfied. I would definitely hire again for future projects."

"We wanted to replace our old laminate countertops with granite. We visited several places, including full service Kitchen design shops, but I have worked with someone over the years who could handle most of the handy-man type tasks, so for us, simply going to a fabricator, like NCO was the best idea. I found them on Angie's list, and we stopped in. From that very first meeting, Janneth and Celine took excellent care of us. It was very cool to walk through their work area, and see the guys finishing off other jobs. Janneth walked us out to where various granite slabs were waiting for other customers' jobs. There was enough variety that we were able to decide what colors and types of pattern in the stone would work best in our kitchen. She gave us a rough estimate, based on something we really liked, and gave us all the contact information, addresses and websites for their suppliers. Over the next week, we visited several, and chose two for NCO to provide us with better estimates. While we weren't 100% sure about either, Janneth and Celine worked with a couple additional suppliers, and knowing what we were looking for, emailed a photo of a slab which had just come in to one, that was about $5/sq ft less than what we'd been looking at. We drove out there the next day, and when we saw it in person, we knew immediately that it was what we wanted. We chose two slabs and called NCO back to tell them that those were what we wanted. We had to replace the cabinets that made up our island, and when our cabinets came in and we had the old ones taken out and new ones installed, NCO sent out Osvaldo to make final measurements. He was very professional and excellent about answering several questions we had. The next day, I went over to NCO to confirm which sink we wanted installed in the new island, and gave Celine a check for half, with the balance due upon installation. Within a week, our counter tops were delivered and installed. We called a plumber, who reinstalled our dishwasher, plumbed the new sink (with a new disposal we'd purchased separately), and by 6PM that evening the job was completely done. The kitchen looks stunning. I can't believe we waited this long to make a much needed upgrade to our kitchen, but once we made the decision, I was thrilled that everything went so quickly and efficiently. "
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.
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.
Before making any big plans, climb up a step ladder and closely examine the top of your cabinets. You’ll get to see what sort of clean-up work needs to be done, but you can also check for any unexpected obstacles. Sometimes this space holds electrical boxes, wiring, or even plumbing components. Those will affect plans to install a new layer of cabinets or shelves.
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.
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.
