Still Have Questions?

According to the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) a kitchen remodel budget should be between 10% to 20% of your home’s current value. The average cost of kitchen remodeling for an average-sized kitchen can be over $20,000. The final cost will depend on the size and how luxurious you want the cabinets and appliances. A major kitchen renovation may cost you anywhere between $40,000 to $70,000.

Do you sell used cabinets?

No. We only sell new, factory fresh, premium quality all wood cabinetry.

Do you install cabinets?

Typically, by the time you select your cabinets, you have a contractor or remodeler. We do have a vetted list of quality sub-contractors that meet our rigorous standards that we can refer.

Do you deliver?

You bet! There is a nominal fee based on your location.

I have seen cabinets made from MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard). What is MDF?

Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibers combining it with wax and a resin binder. Low grade MDF may swell and break when saturated with water. May warp or expand if not sealed. May release formaldehyde, which is a “known human carcinogen”[8] and may cause allergy, eye and lung irritation when cutting and sanding associated with nasal sinus cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer, and possibly with leukemia. MDF is a cheaper alternative than all wood cabinetry.

From what materials are your cabinets made?

Premium Cabinet Studio’s cabinets are made from maple with birch box interiors. All wood, dove-tailed construction. NO MDF.

Are your cabinets finished or unfinished?

FINISHED. Premium Cabinets have a baked-on catalytic factory finish to ensure ultimate durability and easy to clean. All cabinet components are perfectly matched no need to match paint or stain.

I love the look of painted cabinets but my remodel contractor said they can get cracks in the corners where the joints are. Is this poor quality or just the way painted cabinets are?

Good question! Actually when you have real wood cabinets they will expand and contract. However, paint does not. So yes, you should expect some cracking. This is most common during the winter when dry heat is forced into your home. It is not indicative of the quality. Hard maple, which Premium Cabinet Studio’s are made of, are the least likely to crack due to its stability. Premium Cabinet Studio provides a touch up kit for repairs. See what Master Carpenter Norm Abram says about cracking: www.thisoldhouse.com/ask-toh/cabinet-paint-cracks

Why can't you quote me a price over the phone?

I don’t know what cabinets you want. Raised panel with extra detail will cost more than a slab or shaker style. I don’t know the dimensions of your space. What kind of custom options do you want. It is not our policy to quote prices over the phone. Besides you could be one of our competitors shopping price.
