We know that the construction industry creates significant waste. To combat this waste, we have decided to base our company on select materials and finishes that can be rolled over into the next job, or recycled and disposed of responsibly.

The benefits of using a local company for offsite construction can often be overlooked. Some additional benefits are..

Less packaging used in the delivery of your project.

Smaller likelihood of damages, reducing the amount of additional work and materials.

Access to support and service for our products which reduces long lead times and subcontractors.

In today’s market it is harder than ever to reduce how many global materials we use in our industry. Lower costs in other countries for labor, lower material costs globally, and low rates of domestic manufacturing have pushed industry to other parts of the globe. This means a higher carbon footprint for materials to make it to our door, which is a concession we make consciously. Admittedly, we can’t overcome all of those challenges, we are making efforts to solve what we can.

Using local materials when possible such as domestic hardwoods.

Using local suppliers instead of big box stores. Bringing manufacturing jobs and labor into our local economy.

Sourcing materials from nations that don’t exploit their workers or their environment.

Because our cabinetry doors and drawers are flat, they can easily be sanded down and refinished without the work involved in sanding/stripping moldings. This can avoid potentially hazardous chemicals in the stripping process as well as lengthy timelines for this sort of repair work. Additionally, the panel can be re-veneered, refinished, or have a complete color/finish change more easily. Imagine being able to change the whole look of your kitchen without throwing away all of your cabinets.

While we are open to using reclaimed wood and other recycled materials for projects, we don’t seek those projects out for ourselves. Here are some reasons to consider. The material itself can be hard to source, especially when large quantities are needed. Generally, once you exhaust one source for the material, another is very difficult to find. The cost savings of reusing material are usually small, and can sometimes even cost more money given the need for additional labor in processing that material.
