FAQs

With McGovern Woodcraft custom cabinets, you’ll enjoy high-quality, beautiful, functional cabinets that will last. With Home Depot, IKEA, and other major brand cabinets, they use low-grade particle woods that mass-produced overseas. This material doesn’t stand the test of time. Besides, there's something about a sturdy door, a soft close hinge, and a silky air-brushed finish that just feels so right. If you want a piece of craftsmanship, go with custom.

We also ask potential clients to consider value. At chain stores, they'll give you a quote for a certain number of linear square feet. Their estimate will sound reasonable...at first. However, when you add anything special like multi-layered drawers, custom hardware, glass panels, soft-close hinges, crown molding, or special legs for an island, the cost soars because they just don't do custom. When it comes to installing, you can also bet the big brands will try to rush through the process. This inevitably leaves scratched paint, crooked boxes, and loose hinges. We guarantee a clean installation no matter how long it takes.

McGovern Woodcraft specializes in cabinets—whether they're in bathrooms, closets, pantries, cellars, or decks.

We regularly build a variety of styles and finishes. The most popular style these days is a paint grade face/framed cabinet with shaker-style doors and drawer fronts. However, we've also built cabinets in a "cottage" style design, mid-century, art deco, and more.

We are not countertop fabricators, but we work closely with sub-contractors who install granite, stainless steel, solid surface, soapstone, tile, etc. 

We'll cost out each project once we have a design outline. In general terms, our custom cabinets will cost a little bit more than the big-box store particle-board cabinets. However, with us, you can expect to save around 30-60% from most commercial cabinet shops. And don't forget - we're able to build TRUE CUSTOM cabinetry to fit your needs and space.

The process usually takes 3 months from initial consultation to final installation. This allows for attention to detail and proper order of installation on other items such as flooring, countertops. and back-splash.
