A FILLINGER INC

About us

Aside from our affiliation with Ace Hardware, A. Fillinger, Inc. manufactures and sells millwork goods, as well as design and create custom cabinetry for your kitchen, bathroom, library, entertainment center, office, and more! Since 1938, we have based our custom cabinet creations on three principles: Self-Expression: your home should be a reflection of who you are, and we are here to materialize that self-expression. Craftsmanship: happiness with the everyday elements in your home is essential; our skills will accomplish projects to your satisfaction. Innovation: custom designs need innovation, and our designers use original thought to add character to your home. A. Fillinger, Inc. has a continued tradition of constructing fine custom cabinetry and millwork in South Eastern Wisconsin. Our success has been founded on principles of self-expression, craftsmanship, and innovation, rendering home design less troublesome. For each client, we intuitively create a design that is elegant and distinct, fabricating cabinets that best reflect our clients' interests. These designs of distinction are illustrated throughout our galleries. Take some time and notice the beautiful effect our cabinets have on every room in these homes. Like A. Fillinger, your cabinets will last for generations. We can also provide you with mouldings, doors (interior and exterior), windows, stairway systems, balusters, cutting boards, butcher block tops, and counter tops. Whatever it may be, A. Fillinger, Inc. is with you from conception to completion, ensuring your happiness with your home. In our millwork division, we can also sand (up to 48" wide material), rip, plane, per-hang doors, create knives for mouldings, make shelving units, create locker shelves, and repair broken windows and screens. A. Fillinger, Inc. is also an ACE Hardware store with over 25,000 products on hand to help you with whatever inquiries you may have.

We needed to replace an interior hollow core door.  Fillinger had the size and wood species of the door we needed to match the other doors in the house.   The Fillinger employee was knowledgeable and helpful.

Overall, it was a very positive experience! The kitchen looks great now. My daughter said, and quot;You have a new house.and quot;
I contacted three contractors for my project. The contractor I selected recommended A. Fillinger. The design work started in October and we went through many revisions to be ready to start at the end of February. I reserved a spot in their production schedule even before we had finalized the plans. It was six weeks out at the time.
The cabinets were delivered on the scheduled date. The cabinet doors and drawer fronts were not included in the first delivery but that protected them from damage during the installation. They did arrive at a good point in the project.
The microwave cabinet had to be replaced. It exactly followed the specifications and both the range and microwave installation manuals. However, I felt the microwave was only 12-13 inches above gas burners and I felt that was not acceptable. Fillinger worked with me to reduce the price of the replacement. It was ready by the end of the project.
The general contractor (Dwelling Renovations) installed the cabinets.
I sometimes felt email responsiveness could be improved.
I would definitely consider them again.

Our contact at Fillinger's (Rick Price) was extremely knowledgable, precise, and patient. He spent a considerable amount of time educating us about door options and was diligent with respect to measurements. Rick also provided us with names of several individuals who subsequently provided quotes for installation. Although the ordering process took much longer than expected, we were very happy with the end result ... and the fact that there were NO surprises upon installation. The door was perfect!

I bought materials for paneling. They have good quality materials, but a little expensive. I liked their services and will use the same in future

Bob George was meticulous and listened to exactly what we wanted. We believe less is more and Bob definitely listened. He also made sure the dimensions and style of the mantel would match the rest of the room - meticulously. I would highly recommend Fillingers. If we could ever afford custom cabinets, this is where I would go.

We worked with Bob George, one of the design team members. Bob was very meticulous on his measurements and very detail oriented. He helped us with choosing reasonable upgrades and guided us to some new products that they hadn't used before (such as a new self closing door system). He was at our house approximately 4 times to measure and check on the progress. He was also attentive to any follow-up questions.

The handrail broke along my stairway and could not be repaired. The railing is old, very long, curves in three places, has rounded ends, and is not available in the same width. Fillinger was able to custom build a new one using stronger wood. They also built a shorter straight handrail with rounded ends for the adjoining stairs. They estimated it would take seven hours but it took only five and 1/4 hours which decreased my bill. The clerk politely and patiently helped me to chose the wood and hardware. They were very careful in securing it in my car when I picked it up. I highly recommend using Fillinger for mill work.

They were able to come out for the measurements, made drawings, sat down and talked over the drawings with me. They made a few changes. The door and drawer styles match my existing cabinets perfectly.

I had two knowledgeable salesmen. I am extremely happy with the ironing center. Greg made several calls to the manufacturer for me. They spent a lot of time with me on my special order for an inside door and art glass.
