Your kitchen stops being frustrating when the cabinets actually function. Pullout trash cabinet organizers keep waste hidden. Deep pantry cabinet shelves with full-extension slides let you reach everything without digging. Soft-close drawers mean no more slamming at 6 a.m.
The difference shows up in the details. Dovetail drawer boxes hold up under daily use. Plywood construction won’t sag or warp in Carolina Forest’s humidity. Hidden hinges and undermount glides aren’t just cleaner looking—they’re built to last through thousands of open-and-close cycles.
You’re not just getting new bathroom cabinets or kitchen storage. You’re getting space that makes cooking easier, mornings faster, and your home more valuable when it’s time to sell.
We bring J&K and JSI cabinet lines to Carolina Forest, SC—brands known for all-wood construction and premium hardware at prices that don’t require a second mortgage. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for cabinets without particle board, installation that’s level and square, and service that doesn’t disappear after the check clears.
Carolina Forest homeowners are updating kitchens faster than most Myrtle Beach-area communities. The demand for wood-tone kitchen cabinets is up, white shaker fatigue is real, and people want storage solutions that actually solve problems. We’ve installed enough bathroom vanity and pantry cabinet projects here to know what works in these homes.
You start with a consultation where we measure your space and talk through what’s not working now. Most people need more functional storage—not just more cabinets. We’ll show you J&K and JSI options that fit your layout, style preferences, and budget.
Once you approve the design, we order your kitchen cabinets or bathroom vanity. Lead times vary, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront. No one likes surprises three weeks into a project.
Installation happens after cabinets arrive. We remove old cabinets, prep the space, install the new boxes level and secure, then mount doors and drawers with proper alignment. Hardware gets adjusted so everything closes smoothly. Countertop templating happens after cabinet installation—that’s standard sequencing, and yes, it means coordinating with another trade.
You’ll have a functional kitchen or bathroom when we’re done. Drawers that glide. Doors that close without a push. Storage cabinet space you can actually use.

All-wood construction across every cabinet—no particle board in the boxes or doors. You’re getting plywood that handles Carolina Forest’s humidity without swelling or delaminating. J&K cabinets come with dovetail drawer boxes, soft-close undermount glides, and hidden hinges as standard features, not upgrades.
Storage options go beyond basic boxes. Pullout shelves for your pantry cabinet. Lazy Susans for corner access. Drawer organizers for utensils and spices. Tray dividers for cookie sheets. Dedicated trash cabinet pullouts that hide waste and recycling. These aren’t luxury additions—they’re how modern kitchens actually function.
Carolina Forest buyers are choosing medium and light wood tones at higher rates than the national average. Oak, maple, and walnut finishes are replacing the all-white kitchens that dominated five years ago. If you’re updating for resale, wood cabinets are holding value better than painted options right now. If you’re staying long-term, you’re getting a kitchen that won’t look dated in three years.
Kitchen cabinets in Carolina Forest typically run between $4,000 and $13,000 depending on the size of your kitchen and the features you choose. That’s for the cabinets themselves—installation, countertops, and other trades add to the total project cost.
J&K and JSI cabinets sit in the middle of that range. You’re getting all-wood construction, soft-close hardware, and dovetail drawers without paying custom cabinet prices. Most Carolina Forest kitchen remodels we work on fall between $20,000 and $55,000 total, with cabinets representing about a third of that budget.
The number swings based on cabinet count, finish selection, and specialty storage. A galley kitchen with 10 cabinets costs less than an L-shaped layout with 25 boxes, a pantry cabinet, and a trash cabinet pullout. We’ll give you an accurate quote after measuring your space.
Stock cabinets come in standard sizes—usually 3-inch increments for width. You pick from available styles, finishes, and configurations. Lead times are shorter and costs are lower because manufacturers build them in volume.
Custom cabinets get built to your exact specifications. Any size, any finish, any modification you want. You’re paying for that flexibility—custom work typically costs 50-100% more than stock options and takes longer to produce.
J&K and JSI cabinets are technically stock, but they offer enough size variations and specialty options that most Carolina Forest kitchens don’t need true custom work. You can get a bathroom vanity that fits your space, a pantry cabinet with the storage you need, and drawer organizers that actually match how you cook—all without custom pricing.
Cabinet installation itself usually takes 2-4 days for an average kitchen, depending on the size and complexity. A simple bathroom vanity might only take half a day. A full kitchen with a pantry cabinet, trash cabinet pullouts, and specialty storage takes longer.
The timeline gets longer when you factor in the full project. Demolition happens first. Then installation. Then countertop templating, which can’t happen until cabinets are in place. Countertops take another 1-2 weeks to fabricate and install. Backsplash, plumbing, and electrical work fill the gaps.
Most Carolina Forest homeowners should plan on 3-4 weeks from demolition to finished kitchen. Delays happen when countertop shops are backed up or when we find unexpected issues behind old cabinets—outdated plumbing, electrical that’s not up to code, water damage that needs repair. We’ll keep you updated if anything pushes the schedule.
Yes. Bathroom vanity installation works the same as kitchen cabinets—we measure, order the right size and style, remove your old vanity, and install the new one level and secure.
J&K and JSI both make bathroom vanity options in various widths, depths, and finishes. You can match your bathroom cabinets to your kitchen if you’re updating both, or choose something completely different. Most people go with a vanity that has drawers instead of doors—you get better access to storage and it looks cleaner.
Bathroom projects move faster than kitchens because there’s less square footage and fewer cabinets. The challenge is usually plumbing—if your new vanity is a different size than the old one, supply lines and drains might need adjustment. We coordinate with plumbers when needed so you’re not left with a gap in the schedule.
Wood cabinets are outselling white cabinets for the first time in years—29% of homeowners are choosing wood versus 28% choosing white. That’s a significant shift, especially in Carolina Forest where resale value matters.
White shaker cabinets with subway tile backsplashes are aging fast. They’re not bad, but they’re becoming the “builder grade flip” look that buyers associate with quick renovations. Wood tones—especially medium oak and light maple—feel more current and have more staying power.
If you’re renovating to sell within two years, wood kitchen cabinets will likely appeal to more buyers. If you’re staying long-term, choose what you actually like. Both materials perform well when you’re using all-wood construction. The difference is aesthetic, not functional.
Soft-close drawer glides and hidden hinges aren’t optional anymore—they’re expected. Full-extension slides let you access the entire drawer, which matters more than people realize until they’re digging for a spatula in the back of a cheap drawer.
Pullout storage makes a bigger difference than adding more cabinets. A trash cabinet with a pullout keeps waste hidden and frees up floor space. A pantry cabinet with rollout shelves means you can actually see and reach everything. Drawer organizers for utensils and spices eliminate the junk drawer chaos most kitchens deal with.
All-wood construction is the one feature that affects longevity. Particle board boxes swell and fail in Carolina Forest’s humidity. Plywood holds up. You’re paying more upfront, but you’re not replacing cabinets in 10 years because the boxes are falling apart. J&K and JSI both use plywood construction standard, which is why we carry them.
