I've spent what's probably an excessive amount of time shopping around for kitchen cabinets for my…read morenew home, comparing models and prices from various websites and showrooms. Unfortunately, I've worked with a few kitchen showrooms or websites that either clearly did not value my business or drew out a design full of extra (expensive) features that I did not ask for, thinking I would not notice. When I came to HM Cabinetry, I did not have an appointment but after looking at a few brands and models, sat down with Tamaz and he drew up a kitchen design for me based on a diagram of my kitchen that I had with me, and offered a quote based on a mid-grade brand and model the showroom carries. Of course I had to give some more thought to one of the most expensive upgrades to my house, so I took a little time to keep on looking. A couple of weeks later, I emailed asking for a few modifications on the design he made, and a quote based on this new design, but with another brand. Tamaz gave me a call and suggested a different brand instead, which was better quality and had better customer service yet available at the same price. He also pointed out that I'd need a different refrigerator cabinet size as the one I chose was too large for the refrigerator I'd be using with it. I was then sent a diagram and an estimate with an itemized list of each cabinet. Once the quote was approved and the items paid for, the order was quickly placed.
Although most people probably purchase pre-assembled kitchen cabinets, I opted to get unassembled. I'm not sure if all of their cabinet brands are also available unassembled, but make sure to ask so you will be quoted accordingly. Also, as a helpful tip, from what I gathered from speaking with Tamaz about the different brands of cabinets they sell, it appears that on the HM Cabinetry website, the brands are written in order from cheapest to most expensive, although all of the brands they sell are made of good materials. Although the prices on the website help serve as a guide, make sure to ask for a quote because every kitchen is different, even if yours measures (more or less) 10x10' like mine does.
I appreciate how HM Cabinetry allows customers to arrange their own delivery if they'd like. They'll give you an order number and a contact phone number to make the process easier for you. You'll need to arrange pickup directly from the brand's warehouse instead of from the showroom, but if you choose to have HM Cabinetry handle it for you, the rates, at least, from what I was quoted, seem pretty reasonable. Just keep in mind that the delivery will be to your curb and the cabinets won't be brought into your house, but that is how all trucking companies operate (unless you hire a moving company) and not HM Cabinetry's fault.
In case you need help, the weekday hours are pretty convenient for 9-5 workers so long as you work nearby (they close at 6 on weekdays) plus they're open on Saturdays until 6, and they're quite accessible by phone and email.
