Cabinet renovation costs depend on whether you're refacing existing cabinets or investing in custom replacements. Cabinet refacing (new doors, drawer fronts, and veneer on boxes) costs $4,000 to $10,000 for an average kitchen and extends cabinet life by 10-15 years. Custom cabinet replacement ranges from $12,000 to $35,000+ depending on wood species, finish quality, and design complexity. While refacing is more budget-friendly, custom woodwork provides heirloom quality that lasts 50+ years. We help Shelton homeowners evaluate which option delivers the best value for their specific situation and timeline.

Absolutely. We offer comprehensive home repair and maintenance services including annual maintenance contracts designed specifically for Shelton homeowners. Our recurring maintenance plans include seasonal property checks, structural wood repair, moisture control (critical in the Pacific Northwest), and small repairs that prevent emergency situations. We also handle one-off repairs like drywall patching, trim replacement, deck maintenance, and exterior touch-ups. As a licensed contractor with woodworking expertise, we can handle everything from minor fixes to structural wood repairs that other handymen can't tackle.

Custom cabinet projects typically follow this timeline: Design and planning phase takes 1-2 weeks, including in-home consultation, measurements, and material selection. Shop fabrication requires 4-6 weeks for handcrafted construction. Installation and on-site finish work takes 3-5 days depending on kitchen size and complexity. From design approval to final walk-through, expect 6-10 weeks total. Rush projects can sometimes be accommodated. We provide a detailed project schedule during the quoting process and keep you updated throughout. You're welcome to visit our Shelton shop to see your cabinets being built.

Yes, matching historic millwork is one of our specialties. Many Shelton homes built in the early 1900s feature unique crown molding profiles, baseboard details, and architectural trim that's difficult to replicate with modern stock materials. We can create custom knife profiles to exactly match your existing millwork, source period-appropriate wood species, and even match aged patinas for seamless restoration work. This expertise extends to built-in cabinetry, window casings, door trim, and stair components. We've restored millwork in some of Shelton's oldest properties and understand the craftsmanship required to honor these historic details.

We build all types of custom cabinetry for Shelton homes: Kitchen cabinets (including islands, pantries, and specialty storage), bathroom vanities, built-in bookshelves and library walls, entertainment centers and media walls, mudroom lockers and bench systems, home office built-ins with desk integration, laundry room storage, and custom closet systems. Every cabinet is handcrafted in our Shelton shop using solid wood construction—no particle board. We offer both paint-grade (Poplar, MDF) and stain-grade options (Oak, Maple, Cherry, Walnut) with modern hardware and soft-close mechanisms standard.

Yes, we handle all permitting for projects that require it. We're familiar with Mason County building codes and the City of Shelton's permit requirements. Kitchen remodels involving electrical, plumbing, or structural changes require permits—we pull these, schedule inspections, and ensure compliance. For straightforward cabinet installations without structural modifications, permits may not be required. We evaluate your specific project during the consultation and advise you on permitting needs. All permit costs are itemized in your quote so there are no surprises.
