City Cabinetmakers

Unlike manufacturers' satellite outlet stores, at City Cabinetmakers you communicate directly with the sales, design, finishing and manufacturing staff involved in your project. You get timely expert information about your custom project when you need it, not "the run around". Simple projects are typically completed in 8 weeks from design to delivery, (smaller projects much quicker).

All of our cabinetry is finished with Sherwin-Williams conversion varnish, one of the finest, most durable finishes available. The look and feel of this durable finish in 10 years is the true test of quality. Whether it's Paint, Custom Stain or Clear finish you are after, you have to see and feel it for yourself to believe it! So don't be fooled by competitors claims that you can't get high quality finishes in California, come in and see for yourself.

Please bring along your plans when you come to see us. We will be more than happy to look them over and offer suggestions on where to reduce costs and get the most value for your money without compromising design. If you don't have plans, ask about our design service that saves time and money on your project. Our design service is the best value in town!

From drawings we can supply you with a free estimate. We typically bid in one or two materials so that you can get a good idea of where our pricing might fit into your budget. Often our price leaves extra money in your budget that might allow more attractive options. From time to time we have specials on exotic materials that might enable you to afford something truly special.

When you receive your preliminary estimate please call us so that we can offer suggestions to help you fine tune the bid. We also invite you to go check out the competition for quality, craftsmanship and value. We know you'll be back!!

When you determine that we are your cabinetmakers, we need to get you on our schedule.

To begin the process we require a one-third deposit and a copy of the signed contract we prepare for you. The deposit puts you in queue on our schedule. Typically our lead time is between 5 and 8 weeks, with shorter times for simple projects. The contract serves as a point of departure on your project. If there are no subsequent changes, this is the price you will pay for your project. However, changes are not unusual. Changes will be priced and accounted for in our change order documents as necessary.

Between the time you give us a deposit and you go onto our schedule our office staff will contact you to set up a site measure meeting. At this meeting we would ask that you, your installer, your architect/designer (if applicable) be present with all necessary appliance specifications from the manufacturers. It is at this meeting that minor changes and inclusions are discussed.

Before the arrival of our planner at the job site, all framing and rough plumbing should be completed. You should have copies of all specification sheets for your appliances in your possession. Now is the time to make those custom changes dictated by your desires and the peculiarities of the job site.
It is important that all of the current decision makers involved in your project are present at the jobsite measurement meeting so that everyone comes away with the same perception of what is going to take place. From this visit our planner create final drawings for your project. Remember we cut to 1/16" so when your cabinets arrive they only fit in one space on the planet...YOURS!!
