Custom Kitchen Cabinets & Remodeling in Johnson City, TN
How It Works
No guesswork, no winging it. Here’s our process from first contact to finished kitchen.
Free Consultation & Site Visit
We schedule a visit to your home to see the space in person, talk through what you're hoping to accomplish, and take measurements. We want to understand how you actually use your kitchen.
Custom Design & Quote
Based on your consultation, we put together a design plan and a detailed quote. No vague estimates — you'll know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before any work begins.
Installation
Our small, tight-knit crew handles installation personally. We show up on time, protect your home while we work, and don't leave until the job is right.
Final Walkthrough
When the install is complete, we walk through the finished kitchen with you. If anything isn't exactly right, we handle it before we pack up.
What We Do in Kitchens
We specialize in the carpentry and cabinetry side of kitchen remodeling — the pieces that define how your kitchen functions and how it looks.
Custom Cabinet Design & Installation
From full kitchen builds to cabinet replacements, we design layouts that make the most of your space and install with precision that shows in the finished product. Every cabinet is fitted to your kitchen, not forced into it.
Roll-Out Shelves & Drawer Inserts
Turn the back corners and deep lower cabinets that nobody uses into storage that's actually accessible. If you're tired of getting on your hands and knees to find a pot, this is the fix.
Kitchen Built-Ins
Islands, banquette seating, built-in pantry cabinets, a coffee bar nook, appliance garages — if you can picture it as part of the kitchen, we can build it to look like it was always there.
Pantry Organization & Custom Pantry Cabinets
A well-designed pantry changes how the whole kitchen feels. We build custom pantry cabinets and pull-out shelving systems that keep everything organized and within reach.
Specialty Trim & Finish Details
Crown molding, under-cabinet trim, toe kick finishing, and decorative details that tie the whole room together. The finish work is what separates a remodel that looks professional from one that just looks new.

Most cabinet installations run one to three days depending on the scope. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation so you can plan accordingly.
Every project is different, but most installations run between $3,000 and $12,000 depending on scope, materials, and whether we're doing a full redesign or targeted upgrades. The best way to get an accurate number is a free site visit. We don't do ballpark quotes over the phone — they're usually wrong.
Our focus is on the carpentry and cabinetry side: custom cabinet installation, built-ins, roll-out shelves, pantry systems, and finish trim work. We don't do plumbing or electrical, but we're happy to work alongside your other contractors as part of a larger remodel.
In many cases, yes. If your cabinet boxes are in good shape, we can reface or modify them rather than replacing everything from scratch. We'll assess during the site visit and recommend what actually makes sense.
Stock cabinets come in fixed sizes from a manufacturer. Custom cabinets are built or fitted specifically for your kitchen's dimensions and layout. For kitchens with unusual angles, older homes where nothing is square, or homeowners who want specific storage configurations, custom work delivers what stock simply can't.
