Cabinetry FAQs
I’m interested in new cabinetry. Where do I start?
There are many ways to go about dreaming, designing, and creating cabinetry that is special and unique to you. Visiting a cabinet showroom such as ours at Wood Specialists Inc and meeting with a kitchen designer ensures that you get the look and layout that will make your kitchen and cabinetry work for you. Getting ideas from pictures and articles in magazines can help with the initial design process. Contact the custom cabinet makers Fargo, ND residents trust to get started on your cabinets.
How much does cabinetry cost?
Like cars or weddings or vacations, a cabinetry budget will vary with each individual. Even a small kitchen can vary in price. A larger or more elaborate kitchen will cost more. The actual price for custom cabinets in Fargo, ND includes many variables and products. Knowing your investment capabilities and the relative value of your home will provide a wise cost-to-value comparison. In new construction, a rule of thumb is that all cabinetry should run approximately 10% to 15% of the total market value of the home.
How long does the cabinetry process take from generating ideas to installation?
Each job is different. Sometimes the process can take weeks or months of planning. Other times, decisions can be made quickly. Once the major decisions and designs are made, building and installing new kitchen cabinets in Fargo, ND will generally take 6 to 8 weeks.
Cabinets and Countertops FAQs
Do you match existing cabinets?
If the existing cabinets were originally built by us, we can match door styles and wood types. Due to the unique characteristics inherent in wood and the aging process of nature, you should expect some variations between your new cabinets and your existing cabinets. We do not guarantee any match to cabinets that were not originally built by Wood Specialists Inc. Contact us today to get started on your custom made cabinets in Fargo, ND.
Do you re-face existing cabinets?
No, we do not. While we are one of the top custom cabinet companies Fargo, ND has to offer, this is not a service we provide. There are several companies in our area that specialize in this kind of work and are better able to serve your needs.
Do you replace countertops?
Here at Wood Specialists Inc, we’re more than just the custom cabinet makers Fargo, ND loves; we can also supply several countertop options for your space. We carry a full selection of laminates, solid surfaces, granites, and other surfaces for you to choose from.
Remodeling and New Construction FAQs
Do you do remodeling or new construction?

According to Houzz, almost 94% of kitchen remodels involved work on cabinets, and we are happy to take care of that portion of the remodel.
Do you only work with contractors?
A large portion of our business does come from contractors, but our team will do projects for individuals as well. We design, build, and install your countertops and custom made cabinets in Fargo, ND. Wood Specialists does not provide general contractor services, so any construction, electrical, and plumbing modifications would need to be provided by you or your contractor.
