Best Cabinet Companies in Montgomery, AL

Choosing Custom Cabinets in Montgomery

Older homes in Old Cloverdale and the Garden District sit alongside newer construction in east Montgomery, Pike Road and Prattville, and the cabinet work each needs is different. The age of the home is only a starting point. Compare the room's measurements, the storage you need and the changes each company can make. A custom shop may be useful for unusual dimensions, while a semi-custom line can work when its available sizes suit the plan.

For custom kitchen cabinets, ask to see a layout that accounts for appliances, storage and door swings. For a bathroom, compare how custom bathroom cabinets will fit the plumbing and available width. Built-in cabinets need a plan for what they will hold and how they meet the surrounding walls.

Compare written estimates for the same scope before you sign. Alabama requires a state home builders license for residential work above a set contract amount. Ask any cabinet company doing installation or remodeling whether your project requires one, and confirm the license with the Alabama Home Builders Licensure Board.

What to Ask Before Hiring

• Who designs the project and takes the final measurements?
• Do you fabricate the cabinets, or order them from a manufacturer?
• What materials are used for the boxes, doors and drawers?
• Which hinges, slides and storage hardware are included?
• Does the installation scope include removal, delivery, fitting and touch-ups?
• Will I approve the door and finish sample before fabrication?
• What are the schedule and written warranty?

Use the cabinet installation guide to compare the same scope across quotes.
