Our Custom Cabinet Making Process

Your Contact for top-tier cabinetry in DFW

Here at Kerfside, we believe in making the custom cabinet process as seamless and enjoyable as possible! It all starts with booking a call and consultation with one of our team members, where we’ll discuss your vision and needs. Once the details and contracts are in place, we will work closely with you to create a personalized design that reflects your style and maximizes functionality. After the design is finalized, our craftsmen get to work building your custom cabinets with meticulous attention to detail. Finally, our expert installation team ensures a perfect fit and finish, leaving you with beautifully crafted cabinets that elevate your space. Let’s turn your dream cabinets into reality together!

1. BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL

Let's chat about you and your project! This call is completely informal and only takes about 5-10 minutes, The purpose of this call is to determine if we are the best fit for your scope of work and desired timeline. You can click any of the "Book A Call" buttons on our site to select a time to speak with one of our team members. There is no need to have all of your details sorted out before booking a call so don't hesitate if you are unsure! Our team is here to help answer any questions you may have. Please note this is only a phone call (not a video call) and our team will reach out to you at the selected time! If you need more information about our services before booking a call, please visit our FAQ page.

2. SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION​

After your discovery call, we will coordinate a time to meet in person. This often looks like a 30 minute meeting to measure your space and talk through any critical design elements you may have. This is a key step in our process to shake your hand and capture your vision for your project! We also schedule shop tours if you would like to see some of our work in progress in the shop. 

3. PRELIMINARY DRAWINGS​

Once we have measurements of your space, our team puts together a custom preliminary design for you to see. As it stands, the preliminary design is complementary and allows us to put together a more accurate estimate for you.

4. Your Estimate

It’s time to decide if we will be working together! We will review your estimate and determine whether or not you are ready to move forward with us as well as help answer any questions you may have. Assuming you are ready to proceed, we will collect an upfront deposit at this time to hold your spot in our production calendar.

5. Finalize Designs

Hooray! You are now in our production queue and it’s time to start ironing out all of your design details. This is the fun part where you get to work closely with our team in making your vision a reality. Once your designs are finalized we will send you a contract to sign which will outline the scope of work and detailed cabinetry plans before we begin building anything. This simple contract ensures that we are all on the same page and can deliver the finished product you want. 

6. Build

Now that your plans are finalized and we have a signed contract, your cabinetry moves from idea to reality as we make those first cuts. We work closely with you to make sure you are aware of production progress and updating your lead time as we build. 

7. Installation

Your install day has finally arrived! You will receive a notification from our team 1-2 weeks in advance to schedule a day that works well for you. Our team of installers take every precaution to ensure a smooth experience for you and we are typically in and out within 1 day for average size projects.

"Judson and the Kerfside team really knocked it out of the park! We are beyond pleased with how our home office cabinetry turned out. Kerfside was easy to work with, always kind, and even got everything installed ahead of schedule! Can’t recommend them enough!"

"We were needing to update our kitchen that was built in 1963 and needed a lot of love. Kerfside was able to build exactly what we wanted and install quickly. They handled the demo and install so professionally and had a handful of great recommendations for other professionals to help us finish the project. Our kitchen is now the focal point in the home and we love the results."

"We recently worked with Judson on the design and installation of office built-ins and a new entertainment center and could not be happier with the result. Judson was very thorough, asking questions we didn’t even know we should have. Not only is Judson’s work excellent but he was a pleasure to work with as well. We we’re happy to support this small business and look forward to working with Judson again in the future."

"Judson and his team did such an incredible job on our game room custom cabinets. It transformed the room in an amazing way and the quality of workmanship was fantastic! I had never done a custom cabinet before and was a little nervous but it was the best decision!"

"My wife and I moved into a 1990’s home this year and decided to rework our kitchen. After looking at several cabinet makers we decided to go with Kerfside. Judson is intelligent, Detailed and very talented. His shop utilizes high tech cutting equipment, top-quality lumber and the best hardware sources…which puts Kerfside ahead of all the others. We asked for a white oak island and 3 walls of paint-ready cabinets and a powder bath vanity. We just finished install and they’re now prepped for paint. We will be back. Kerfside cuts no corners."

"Out with the old and in with the new! Not only did Judd remove the old cabinets but designed and installed beautiful cabinets and bookshelves to the ceiling with molding that was expertly done. The molding looks like it was done with the original molding around the rest of the living room and it was quite involved. Judd really cares about doing a professional thorough job and wouldn’t settle for good! I would highly recommend without reservation!"
