What kind of cabinets do you build?We build custom cabinets
that some people categorize as "European" or "full overlay" but we
prefer to call them "full access" cabinets utilizing what we believe
is the best selection of hardware and materials available today. The
exterior style of the cabinet, whether traditional or contemporary, is
determined by the door style and finish used.
Do you build everything that goes into a cabinet?
Much like a general contractor uses subcontractors, Ancom
Custom Cabinets will outsource certain parts of the cabinets
we fabricate when it make sense. The selection of door and dovetail
drawer styles available to us from
Conestoga combined with the exceptional quality of their
product make it possible for us to offer a wider range of styles at
a competitive price.
Does Ancom Custom Cabinets act as a general contractor?
No. We specialize in the design, fabrication, and installation of
custom cabinets. We will work closely with your general contractor
to insure that the project flows smoothly and to resolve any issues
that may surface.
How do we get started?
New customers generally call first to discuss their project, then
fax or e-mail us a
plan or drawing with some dimensions to work with. From this
information we can generate a very accurate estimate of the cost of
your job. If this cost is something we can both live with we move
onto the design phase. At this time we will require a small
retainer, equal to about 5% of the total job, to cover the costs of
providing drawings and of site visits if necessary. This deposit is
fully applied towards the purchase price of your cabinets.
How long does it usually take before my cabinets are ready?
Lead times are sometimes as short as four weeks but can be as
long as twelve weeks depending on the size and complexity of your
project. The average is about six to eight weeks. From the very
beginning we will be honest and upfront about the delivery date of
your job.
