Your kitchen cabinets in Wake Forest, NC should do more than look good in a photo. They need to handle your morning coffee rush, your weekend meal prep, and everything you’ve been shoving into that one junk drawer for the past three years.
Most cabinet installations fail because they prioritize aesthetics over function. You end up with deep corners you can’t reach, shelves that waste vertical space, and drawers that don’t open all the way because nobody measured around your dishwasher.
We start with how you use your kitchen. Where you need pull-out shelves for pots and pans. Where a lazy Susan actually makes sense. How much pantry storage you need so you’re not stacking cans three-deep. The goal is a kitchen that makes your life easier, not one that just photographs well.
We’ve been serving Wake Forest, NC as a local business that understands what homeowners here actually need. We’re not a national chain that rotates crews every six months. We’re the team that shows up, measures twice, and installs it right the first time.
Wake Forest has grown fast. Median home values here sit around $435,000, and most of those homes were built quickly. That means builder-grade cabinets that weren’t designed for long-term use. We’ve replaced enough particle board bathroom vanity units and sagging pantry cabinets to know what holds up and what doesn’t.
Our lifetime warranty on installations isn’t marketing language. It’s what happens when you hire people who plan to be here next year, and the year after that.
First, we come to your home in Wake Forest, NC and measure everything. Not just width and height—we’re looking at plumbing lines, electrical outlets, how your doors swing, and whether your walls are actually square. Thirty percent of cabinet installation problems come from bad measurements, so we take our time here.
Next, we talk through what you actually need. If you’re redoing your kitchen cabinets, we’ll ask how you cook, where you want your most-used items, and what’s driving you crazy about your current setup. Same goes for bathroom cabinets or a pantry cabinet—we design around your routine, not a template.
Then we order your cabinets. We work with quality manufacturers who build cabinets that can handle daily use for 15 to 20 years. Once they arrive, we inspect everything before installation because transit damage happens, and we’d rather catch it before we’re halfway through your kitchen.
Installation day, we protect your floors, remove old cabinets if needed, and install everything level and secure. Cabinets that aren’t properly anchored can literally fall off the wall, so we don’t skip steps. You’ll see us checking and rechecking because that’s what keeps your investment safe.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting cabinets designed for your specific space in Wake Forest, NC. Whether it’s kitchen cabinets that maximize your layout, a bathroom vanity that fits your plumbing configuration, or storage cabinets that actually hold what you need them to hold.
You’re getting professional installation with a lifetime warranty. That means if something goes wrong because of how we installed it, we fix it. No arguing, no fine print. We’ve been doing this long enough to know that standing behind our work isn’t optional.
You’re also getting access to current design trends without the pressure to follow them. White cabinets still dominate 68% of kitchens for good reason—they’re clean and timeless. But if you want the warmer wood tones or deeper colors that are trending now, like walnut or sage green, we’ll show you options that work in Wake Forest homes.
And you’re getting transparency on cost. Cabinets typically eat up 40% of a kitchen remodel budget, so we’re upfront about pricing. You’ll know what you’re paying for and why, whether it’s a full kitchen, a bathroom vanity replacement, or adding a pantry cabinet for extra storage.
Kitchen cabinets in Wake Forest, NC typically run between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on the size of your kitchen, the materials you choose, and how much customization you need. Stock cabinets from big box stores sit at the lower end but often require compromises on size and layout. Semi-custom and custom cabinets cost more but actually fit your space.
The price includes materials, installation, and hardware. If you’re replacing existing cabinets, demo and disposal add to the cost. If your walls need repair or your plumbing needs to move, that’s extra.
Wake Forest homeowners usually land in the $12,000 to $18,000 range for a standard kitchen with quality materials and professional installation. That’s not the cheapest option, but it’s the one that lasts 15 to 20 years without needing replacement. We give you a transparent estimate upfront so you can make the decision that fits your budget.
Stock cabinets come in standard sizes—usually 3-inch increments—and you have to make your kitchen fit them. They’re the fastest and cheapest option, but you’ll likely end up with filler strips and wasted space. They work fine if your kitchen happens to match standard dimensions.
Semi-custom cabinets offer more flexibility. You can adjust heights, depths, and widths within certain ranges, and you get more choices for finishes, door styles, and interior features like pull-out drawers or lazy Susans. Most Wake Forest, NC homeowners go this route because it balances cost with customization.
Custom cabinets are built specifically for your space with no size restrictions. If you have an awkward corner, a sloped ceiling, or you want a very specific look, custom is the way to go. They cost more and take longer, but you get exactly what you want. We’ll walk you through all three options and show you what makes sense for your kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanity, or storage cabinet project.
A typical kitchen cabinet installation in Wake Forest, NC takes three to five days once the cabinets arrive. Day one is usually demo if you’re replacing old cabinets. Days two through four are installation, leveling, and securing everything. Day five is hardware, adjustments, and final touches.
Bathroom vanity installations are faster—usually one day unless there’s plumbing work involved. A pantry cabinet or standalone storage cabinet can often be installed in a few hours.
The bigger variable is lead time. Stock cabinets might arrive in two weeks. Semi-custom cabinets typically take four to eight weeks. Custom cabinets can take 10 to 12 weeks. We give you realistic timelines upfront so you can plan around them. The last thing you want is to be without a functioning kitchen for longer than necessary, so we coordinate delivery and installation to minimize disruption.
Refacing makes sense if your cabinet boxes are solid and you just hate the doors and drawer fronts. You’re essentially getting a new look for 30% to 50% less than full replacement. It works well for budget-conscious updates when the layout already functions.
But refacing doesn’t fix structural problems, poor layouts, or inadequate storage. If your shelves are sagging, your boxes are particle board that’s swelling from moisture, or you’re constantly frustrated by wasted space, refacing just puts new doors on old problems.
Most homeowners in Wake Forest, NC who come to us thinking they want refacing end up replacing once they see what’s possible with a better layout. If your cabinets are more than 20 years old or you’re changing your kitchen workflow, replacement gives you a chance to actually improve function. We’ll look at your current setup and give you an honest assessment of whether refacing makes sense or if you’re better off starting fresh.
Soft-close hinges and drawer glides are worth every penny. They prevent slamming, reduce wear on your cabinets, and make your kitchen quieter. They add maybe $200 to $400 to your total cost and you’ll appreciate them every single day.
Pull-out shelves in base cabinets are another smart investment. They let you access items in the back without getting on your hands and knees. Same goes for pull-out trash and recycling bins—they hide your garbage and make it easy to use.
Drawer organizers for utensils, spices, and cutlery keep everything in place and visible. Lazy Susans in corner cabinets turn dead space into usable storage. Pantry pull-outs with adjustable shelves maximize vertical space for food storage.
What’s usually not worth it: glass-front doors that force you to keep everything inside looking perfect, or overly complicated corner solutions that sound clever but are annoying to actually use. We’ll show you what works in real Wake Forest, NC kitchens based on what our clients actually use and appreciate years later.
Yes. We install bathroom vanity units, pantry cabinets, storage cabinets, and any other cabinet type you need in your Wake Forest, NC home. The process is similar to kitchen cabinets—we measure your space, discuss what you need, and install everything properly.
Bathroom vanity installation requires coordinating with your existing plumbing, so we factor that into our timeline and pricing. If you’re upgrading from a pedestal sink to a vanity with storage, there’s usually some wall repair involved. We handle that.
Pantry cabinets are popular additions in Wake Forest homes because builder-grade pantries are often too shallow or poorly organized. A well-designed pantry cabinet with pull-out shelves and adjustable heights makes a huge difference in how much you can store and access.
Storage cabinets for laundry rooms, mudrooms, or garages follow the same quality standards as our kitchen work. We’re not just flooring contractors who dabble in cabinets—we approach every installation with the same attention to detail and lifetime warranty that covers all our work.
