i would say the price with the discount should be about what you will pay. With the discounts, lowes was only a tiny bit higher than a local kd. I had medallion silverline cabinets installed in April which are the same as the schuler at lowes. You want the perfect cabinet I will tell you if you are still interested. They are few and far apart and I am pretty sure they would agree with me. Those are the guys that have the knowledge and experience. You would find many owners of mid size companies who built their business based on their personal talent and struggling to walk away without giant mistakes. Old school, computer age and back to old school has opened this industry for people stuck in tunnel vision. Do not get boxed in with labels and pretty papers on a one of job. People have forgotten that the fastest way to any jobs is still a straight line. I have the newer machines and always go back to my older machines. i wrote programs on older technology machines where just changing the door size in the header would change your whole program.
#LOWES INSTOCK CABINETS CRACK#
I used to make a perfect shaker door on a CNC that will never crack or grow and shrink from humidity. Unless they are mechanically fastened and plugged which is way too much work. Any wood style and rail or mitered shaker painted white will crack in the joints over time. For example this is how this question of yours can vary. I would be happy to talk more about your question. Anyone on this post will agree with me that every wood behaves differently in different climates and scenarios. I am still in line to start a worrier built program but I strongly believe in doing everything right. There is so much missing on the front end of this industry and I would love to teach our worriers a trade that is hurting for knowledge and after 30 years of watching a trade I love start imploding on itself after the computer age and again after 2008 the quality of talent and just caring for quality just seemed to disappear. before retiring or actually getting away from being hands on due to injuries I was starting to put a program together to work with wounded veterans and teach this industry. If you still want to talk about this I would be more then happy to give you some of my insight on this. You just happened to ask a question that hit a spot I have been educating people on for years.
The bigger the place the more out of control,l it seems to be. I have come across very few people in the past 10 years that can look at the whole industry and point out where the biggest problem is. I did not read all the answers you received and I am sure there are many professionals with good answers. Your question of MDF vs wood has tons of variables. The cabinets I built will outlast their door stiles and can be refaces with new doors many times over. I believe in the whole box hardware and exterior done the absolute best to last the lifetime of that project.
Not just the outside finish like the Italians do for top dollars. Everyone tries to save a dollar that in the end wasn't worth the savings. we used to do $200k kitchens and then some. I have developed the best cabinet made for my high end jobs. I have seen the decline in talent lost to computers and now an industry struggling and waiting for computers to do what used to be better and faster the old timers way. I have been doing for a few years a part of this industry that should have a job title but will not for a few years. I am 30 years into this trade and have worked on some of the biggest projects out. I just happened to see your title and it hit a part of the industry I have been dealing with for some time. Here is a link that might be useful: KCMA TESTING The co-opted label itself means zilch without the work that goes into truly earning it. You're the one that has to perform your due dilligence on ''custom'' guys. Most low budget site built paint hack's cabinets will NOT pass those tests like factory built KCMA certified ones will. And you want a sample, so that you can perform as many of the KCMA tests on it as you can yourself. What you want is someone who uses a high solids catalyzed lacquer, sprayed in a clean room. Many just put together jigsaw puzzles of ordering boxes and doors from different companies and don't make anything. An actual cabinet design firm has lower multipliers than a box store though, because they make less mstakes that the company has to absorb.īeware of ''custom'' cabinet makers who are anything but. I wouldn't expect any quote in a true mid grade line to be all that much cheaper given the design that you show and the amount of cabinets.
