New build, new cabinets

The client acquired a 0.43 acre lot in a fully developed subdivision a year ago. Proceeded to build a colonial style single-family home in three levels with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The first floor was a spacious open-floor layout with vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors. It had a huge gourmet kitchen with center island and was set at the back of the home. The client called us in for a quote for cabinets and drawers. We visited the home for an ocular.

Consultation

The client had very precise requirements for his cabinetry. He produced a design layout for what he needed, and it was just a question of choosing door style, wood, and finish. After browsing through the many options we carried, he selected the Fabuwood Shaker style cabinets in birch with a natural finish. It was a full overlay door with reversed panel with soft-close hidden hinges.While the drawer had slab drawer fronts and dovetail box construction with adjustable shelves. The color and style was an excellent choice, complementing black granite countertops and transitioning to the light hardwood floors. However, his requirements meant custom cabinets, which would take longer to deliver. We advised the client that custom cabinets would take six to eight weeks for delivery. The client had no problems with this as the build was still ongoing in other parts of the home. Would take another two months to complete.

Measurement

The challenge with this project was the precise measurements. We needed for all the appliance accommodations, the kitchen island drawers, and mini-pantry on either side of the refrigerator. We brought in the staff designer to make sketches of the required components. Taking note of each measurement to ensure no errors in construction would result based on our measurements. Two people took each measurement independently and compared notes, just to make sure there were no mistakes. Any discrepancy in the two sets of measurements immediately rechecked.

Installation issues

Because Fabuwood has a 5-year limited warranty on their custom cabinets provided it installed improperly, we advised the client to hire a reputable professional to install the cabinets to avoid voiding the warranty. Custom cabinets tend to be tricky, and should only be installed by a skilled professional. He assured us that his contractor experienced cabinet installers on the payroll, and with that we had to be content.

Delivery

As expected, the cabinets  delivered a full 8 weeks after ordered, and it was literally the last things (barring the appliances)  brought into the spanking brand new house. Fabuwood’s custom cabinets are imported so we were especially careful in inspecting each piece prior to delivering them to the client to make sure there was no damage sustained in the shipping. Everything seemed fine, and we sent them off with crossed fingers. We still worried about the installation.

Post installation

We called the client a week later to get his feedback, and he expressed satisfaction in the quality of the cabinets we supplied. Asked about any difficulties with the installation, The installer adjusted the hinges and stops properly. The cabinets and drawers all had soft-close Blumotion mechanisms that would have to be adjusted after installation. The client assured us that everything was working perfectly. We could now breathe a sigh of heartfelt relief.
