Because the housing market has slowed in some areas, some builders are less busy. Smart buyers can take advantage of some of the best prices and services available in the past ten years. These unusually ripe conditions make an investment in the home a wise choice. Mortgage rates are dropping. Now is the time to take advantage of a unique opportunity.

According to the January issue of Kitchen and Bath Business magazine, it is estimated that in 2007 there will be over six million (6,000,000 +) kitchens remodeled in the USA. We find that many homeowners are remodeling because their existing cabinets are falling apart, and/or because their kitchen design doesn't work for them. Many of the brand name cabinets that we replace are less than eight years old. Before you buy any cabinet, consider reading some advice about how to avoid cabinets that won't last. When planning your space, include well built cabinets like our all wood Fashionable Enclosures brand cabinets or our Eli Sperry brand cabinets.
To solve the problem of poor design mentioned above, we offer professional and personal 3-D on-line design services. You can work with a national award winning designer from the comfort of your home or office. Before we begin laying out your space, we phone you to go over your requirements. Then we create your kitchen design based upon our understanding of your needs and budget. We present the design concept(s) on a web page for you to review. Working with an experienced designer helps you make sound choices and avoid mistakes. Read more...
Fashionable Enclosure brand cabinets (F.E.) have been certified by the K.C.M.A. to meet standards set within the Environmental Stewardship Program. This program verifies that the shop is firmly committed to environmental quality and sustainability. In order to be certified, a cabinetmaker must use plywood that meets the lowest formaldehyde emissions standards, work with wood suppliers who use sustainable forestry practices, and utilize an energy conservation plan and recycling program to minimize waste where ever possible.
Our sales and design office saves a tremendous amount of paper by publishing information on the Web and our cabinet catalog on CD ROM. We utilize flat screen and energy efficient computer technologies to reduce our energy use, re-use shipping containers for samples, and recycle waste. Our sales office is more energy efficient than most local showrooms even though we reach out to the entire country. We continue to seek ways to improve our environmental stewardship.
Over the past 25 years we have sold almost every major cabinet brand. Most used MDF (also known as particle board, engineered wood, fiber board, etc.) construction. It is our experience that most MDF products do not withstand normal kitchen and bath environments. Particle board products tend to swell when exposed to moisture (like over a range, near a dishwasher, near a shower, etc.). Quality plywood retains its appearance better than the MDF products. We also find that using recommended modern fasteners in MDF products just do not hold as well as a wood screw in plywood. The sales pitch that MDF is better than plywood is a myth. We have seen countless MDF products that have caused homeowners much embarrassment.
We prefer to maintain an outstanding reputation and have chosen to promote durable goods. We do realize that quality plywood costs more than MDF, but the long term benefits far outweigh the costs.
