Frequently asked questions

Most people start with a conversation. Tell us the room, the rough scope, and your timeline, and we will schedule a studio visit or a site meeting. From there we field-measure, understand how you use the space, and only then begin drawing. There is no obligation attached to the first meeting.

Kitchens are the heart of what we do, but the same cabinetry program extends to butler's pantries, mudrooms, primary closets, libraries, media walls, and architectural casework throughout the home. If it is built to a room, we can draw it.

Not at all. Many clients come to us with a Pinterest board and a rough floor plan, nothing more. We are comfortable working alongside your architect or interior designer, or leading the cabinetry design ourselves. The earlier we are involved, the fewer compromises later.

Yes, and we prefer it. We coordinate directly with your architect, builder, and trades so that plumbing, electrical, and appliance rough-ins land where the drawings say they should. Clear shop drawings shared early keep everyone on the same page.

Because rooms are never as square as their plans. Walls bow, floors slope, and existing conditions rarely match the drawings on file. Field measurement lets us price against what is actually there, which is the difference between an estimate and a number you can trust.

A full set of drawings: plans, elevations, and the key sections that show how each run resolves at corners, appliances, and reveals. Every cabinet is drawn before it is priced, so you can see exactly what the number pays for.

The drawing stage is exactly where changes belong. We expect to revise, and we would rather move a wall of cabinets on paper a dozen times than once in the shop. Once you approve the final set, that approved drawing becomes the reference for everything built.

Every project is priced to its own drawings, so there is no meaningful single number. Cost follows scope, material, finish, and hardware. What we can promise is that the price you receive is drawn against your actual room, not a catalog average, and that it will not move unless the scope does.

Design and drawings usually run three to six weeks depending on scope and revisions. Fabrication typically takes ten to fourteen weeks once drawings are approved and finishes are selected. We give you a dated schedule at approval and keep you posted as milestones pass.

A deposit secures your place in the fabrication schedule and releases the project into shop drawings. A progress payment falls at the start of fabrication, and the balance is due at delivery. Every stage is written into your agreement before you sign.

Solid hardwoods and premium veneers over stable substrates: rift-sawn white oak, walnut, and painted maple are perennial favorites. For handleless and matte programs we work in lacquer and thermofoil-free painted fronts. We will always tell you where a material makes sense and where it does not.

Yes. We custom-match paint and stain to a sample, a chip, or an adjacent element in the room, and we produce a physical sample door for your approval before anything goes into finish. What you sign off on is what arrives.

We specify and supply drawer runners, hinges, and interior fittings as part of every project, and we are happy to source pulls and knobs to your taste. Appliances are usually purchased separately, but we coordinate their specifications so openings and clearances are exact.

Our own installers set every project we build. They know the drawings, they know the tolerances, and they scribe each run to the wall on site. Cabinetry is only as good as its installation, so we do not hand that step to anyone else.

We are based in Cherry Hills and serve the greater Denver area, where we can field-measure and install with our own crew. For projects beyond that radius, reach out and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.

Because everything arrives built and finished, on-site work is measured in days rather than weeks. We protect floors and adjacent surfaces, keep the work area tidy, and coordinate with your other trades so the room comes together without unnecessary downtime.

A soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner handle daily care on both wood and painted fronts. Wipe spills promptly, avoid harsh solvents, and keep the room at a stable humidity. We leave you with a written care sheet specific to the finishes in your project.

We stand behind our cabinetry and workmanship, including the hardware we supply. Natural wood movement and normal wear are expected characteristics rather than defects, and we explain that distinction clearly at handover. Your specific warranty terms are written into your agreement.

Doors and drawers settle as a house lives through its first seasons. A quick tune-up of alignment and soft-close is part of caring for the work, and we are a phone call away. Reach us any time at (303) 555-0142 and we will arrange a visit.
