Real Customer Reviews
“I ordered a complete set of kitchen cabinets from Lewis Custom Cabinets … Fred Lewis and his wife Bonnie gave me wonderful service, and solid (fiscally responsible).”
— Tiffany H. (MapQuest)
“Had a laundry chute cabinet built for my bathroom to match an existing cabinet, very odd size. This cabinet is so much stronger and better built than the all‑plywood manufactured one I already had.”
— M E S. (Yelp review, 2013)
“With the house being a landmark … you have helped us to achieve that with creating new windows that look exactly the same as the old ones. Your work clearly shows your expertise.”

FAQs
What’s the difference between custom cabinets and distributor options?
Custom cabinets are handcrafted in‑house to your specific design, while our distributor options (Koch & Co., J&K) are pre‑manufactured—great for quality at a set price.
Do you offer in‑home consultations?
Yes. We come to your home for measurements, review your layout, and help you choose the best solution.
Can you match my existing cabinets?
Absolutely. Our team specializes in matching new cabinets to existing pieces—down to finishes, hardware, and wood type.
What materials do you use?
Custom cabinetry utilizes solid hardwood (like maple or oak) and sturdy plywood. Even our budget-friendly sets from distributors avoid particle board.
Is your showroom open?
Yes! Our on‑site showroom features distributor lines and hardware. While we remodel, we’re happy to share stock photos or schedule a visit.
