You need too many custom cabinets that the big box places not a choice?

Big box store cabinets are not an option for builders

On the side from working my trade, i’d help out my best friend and his dad building cabinets. They were rolling in the money when times were good. Shut it down in 2008 when shit went belly up.

My dad built cabinets on the side, paid well and once you've seen the difference in carcasses, sigh, it's hard to even look at the box stores.

I have a really good painter buddy. Like, everyone knows him around here. Paint grade cabinets usually get painted by the painters once installed.

Jesus am I glad it's Friday, I-5 traffic headed south out of Washington was on full suck mode this afternoon.

To build them
And most cabinet makers don’t install because that needs to be under a contractors license

I used to work with a guy in Folsom that inherited a cabinet shop in Sacramento from his dad & they had 90 employees building cabinets for track homes in the 80's-90's. The bottom fell out of the construction business and he went under, and wound up running the wood shop in Folsom prison.... You ever hear of "Taylor Cabinets"?
