We recognize the state's diverse climate, from coastal influence to inland valleys, and the common housing styles. Our process is designed to be clear and actionable, guiding you through every stage of selecting and installing your new kitchen cabinetry.
Oregon's climate, with its mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers, influences material choices for cabinets. We select materials and finishes that can withstand humidity and temperature fluctuations common across the state. The housing stock in Portland and surrounding areas often features a mix of older, character-filled homes and newer, modern constructions, each presenting unique opportunities for cabinet design. We start by assessing your current kitchen and your vision for the remodel.
