What are the qualities of a good cabinet maker

So you have decided on custom cabinets over store bought, and now it is time to find a cabinet maker. What are the qualities of a good cabinet maker? How can you be sure that your information is accurate?

Well, having cabinets installed is a commitment and an investment. You want to be sure that you have hired the best person for the job. You should not believe everything you read on one review them, bit go to additional sites like Angieslist.com. Do not be afraid to ask for references and call them. See what others are sating. You never want to hire the lowest bidder. You want a craftsman who specialized in cabinets and who had years of experience.

When you find the right person for the job you will know it. He will help you along, answering any questions that you have and he won’t come across as trying to constantly sale you something.

This is someone who has no problem working with you on your budget, and he will be licensed, bonded and insured. He will have enough references to make you feel at ease, furthermore, you will be comfortable letting him into your home to do the work. Shockingly, your first instinct will tell you when you have found “the one” and everything else will fall into place thereafter.

A really good cabinet maker will put things into a realistic perspective for you. He wont be scared to tell you when something is a bad (even if it costs him a little money) and he will be able to suggest alternatives that will make it even better while maintaining the budget. This is someone who you know does this as a living and not as a hobby even if he don’t have a shop.

The quality of work is what counts the most. Look at jobs he has done. Surely someone is willing to let you check his work out. You can do the old ball trick. Take a tennis ball along (or a golf ball) and place it on a cabinet he has finished. If it doesn’t roll or if it rolls only a slight hair then it is a great cabinet install, but if it rolls significantly you may want to look else ware.

Now, regardless of how trustworthy and professional your craftsman seems to be, take before and after photos, have contracts and a budget agreement drawn up and keep a watchful eye on how things are coming along. Finally post reviews summarizing the work you received so that other people have that information available when it comes time for them to face the situation.
