If I were to ask you to associate custom cabinets with affordable what would you say? Well, for many of us that have been around for a bit we have this idea that the phrases custom cabinets are truly that ideal place of destination for our kitchen should we have an unlimited amount of money to spend. Ironically, despite the increase in supplies, the cost of custom cabinets is decreasing and a lot of this has to do with the change to the process.
This article is about small business going hi-tech in order to improve on price and maintain a custom service for their clients. I support small businesses abroad and I applause LyndenCraft for making such a step in their production process. I support entrepreneurs. More importantly those with such a unique skill set that when combined with technology can offer you some of the best products around. What used to be accomplished with manual labor, a table saw, keen eye and a steady hand is now accomplished on a 4 foot by 8 foot flat surface and robotic router. Imagine pieces being cut within 1/100th of an inch in accuracy. Accurate, safe for the employees and more importantly for you and I it costs less because less man hours are required.
Local shop owner, Steve Oates, shared this story, "I received a phone call from a local resident. She was anxious to receive a fast quote over the phone for some custom cabinets. In particular, she was wanting a custom island to match her kitchen cabinets. According to the caller, Home Depo_ quoted her about $6,700 for a kitchen island including a non-granite countertop. After speaking with her I shared that I felt pretty sure we could probably save her at least $1,400. But I went one step further. I even included granite with her cabinets and she could choose up to 20 styles." She was surprised as I was when he shared the story.
Local custom cabinet shop owner, Steve Oates, unfolded this recent example, "My phone rang last week and one struggling Mom called to obtain a verbal quote. I could tell she was anxious to obtain a quote fast so I asked a few questions. Reading from a recent quote from "Home Depo" she said, "can you beat $6,700?" In my mind I'm wondering what she asked for that drove the cost up a bit but after talking a few minutes I instantly knew the cause. She was trying to adjust a manufacturer's standard cabinet to make it customized." "I talked with her a few more minutes then shared that I felt we could save her about $1,400 and in addition include a granite top. I even gave her up to 20 granite types to choose from. Needless to say the client was very pleased and surprised."
In closing Steve talked some more about the custom service included with his custom cabinets. He said, "I try to explain to all my clients wishing to purchase any custom cabinet project. I firmly believe the process is equally important to the product! Too many of my clients have told horror stories of contractors that are great at sales, horrible at delivery, and just ok with the end product. We wish to be fantastic to work with from the moment we enter the home until the last tool is removed and we work hard to that end. We are committed to creating such a pleasant experience that they can't wait to tell their friends. In my mind, it's even more important that their new kitchen becomes a center piece for gatherings as they share their home with others and create a sense of community. - 33383
