How long do projects take?

The length of a project from an initial idea through completion varies greatly depending on the size of the job, choice of readily available materials or something more exotic, our existing schedule, and which finishing process you select. There are many factors in determining an accurate time estimate. To receive further information, please contact us either by phone at 510.444.2030, by fax at 510.444.4930.

How our cabinets are made?

For the most part, we construct European style cabinets. This refers to the method of box construction, not the look of the exterior. The exterior is determined by your wood or laminate preference and style choice for doors and drawer faces. The interior is often made with pre-finished maple veneer plywood. Our preferred hardware includes Accuride drawer slides and Blum hinges. Please see Our Product page for more info

What materials do you use?

Materials are chosen by the customer. The range of woods we use is solely dictated by your decision and design. While the doors and drawer fronts are highly individual, the actual box is often made with pre-finished maple veneer plywood. Cabinets that are open (no doors or drawers, often with adjustable shelving) or that have glass paneled doors are usually made of wood-veneered plywood to match the rest of the room.

How are the cabinets finished or painted?

Finishing is a matter of personal taste. If the natural coloration of the wood is what you enjoy, a clear coat conversion varnish offers a durable sheen ranging from matte to glossy. At times staining is requested to achieve a certain look, followed by the clear coat conversion varnish treatment. Priming and painting is often done on site by professional painters, but we can also deliver painted parts.

Can you match existing fixtures?

We will do our best to match, replace, or simulate your existing fixtures. A personal consultation is the surest way for us to speak to the needs of your respective rooms.

Do you install?

Yes, we install jobs that we build. If you are working with a general contractor on a remodel, it might be that we provide the cabinets and all attending materials while the general contractor does the installation.
