Our Process:
At Nantucket Cabinets, every project is custom-made to fit your home, your style, and your needs. We manage the entire process, from the first design consultation to fabrication and installation.
More Than Cabinetmakers
With over 25 years of experience in residential construction, including carpentry, general contracting, and custom cabinetry, we understand how every part of a home renovation comes together.
As a Massachusetts Licensed Residential Construction Supervisor (CSFA-106866), our owner brings valuable construction knowledge to every project, helping us anticipate challenges, coordinate details, and ensure cabinetry integrates seamlessly with the rest of your home.
1. Design & Planning
Every project starts with understanding your ideas, space, and budget.
Our owner personally handles the design process, including measurements, layouts, material selections, and 3D renderings.
A design fee applies and is discussed before work begins. Once the design is approved, we prepare a detailed project estimate.
There is no obligation to proceed with fabrication after the design stage.
2. Fabrication
We operate two specialized workshops, each focused on a different part of the process.
Hyannis Workshop
47 Warehouse Road, Hyannis, MA
CNC cutting, sheet processing, and cabinet component preparation.
Nantucket Workshop
5 Salros Road, Nantucket, MA
Custom millwork, cabinet assembly, and final preparation for installation.
Combining advanced CNC technology with traditional craftsmanship helps us deliver precise, high-quality cabinetry efficiently.
3. Installation
Our installation team works closely with the workshop team to ensure everything fits and functions as designed.
Installation is billed at $95 per hour, based on actual time spent on site. We provide an estimated installation time before work begins.
To avoid unnecessary delays, the installation area should be ready when our team arrives.
4. Cabinet Finishing
Painting and staining are generally not included in our fabrication pricing.
Most cabinetry is delivered ready for finishing by your painter or finishing contractor. Certain projects, such as bathroom vanities, may be finished in our workshop by special arrangement.
We can coordinate with your painter or recommend a finishing professional if needed.
When we arrange and manage outside contractors or suppliers on your behalf, a 20% coordination fee applies.
5. Planning Ahead
The time of year you start your project can affect pricing and availability.
Summer & Fall: Ideal for planning projects for the following year, with more scheduling flexibility.
Winter: A good time to finalize designs and prepare for spring installation.
Spring: Our busiest season. Projects requiring completion before July 4th may involve additional costs due to high demand and tighter schedules.
Early planning gives you more options and helps keep costs under control.
