Here's our story!


     What was once a hobby evolved into a small home-based business in October of 1993, when husband and wife, Bob and Sandy Paddock, officially launched Cabinetry Concepts. Bob's craftwork started with custom fireplace surrounds, and through word of mouth referrals quickly became a 'hot' item. With a solid background in customer service, the Paddock's knew taking care of each customer was key to continued growth. This commitment to their customers and their craft kept them so busy they never had a need to advertise. Blessed with a strong referral-based clientele, Cabinetry Concepts grew to include in their offerings nearly any kind of cabinetry for a home or office. 
     Continued growth meant more space was needed, and after three additions to their home site outbuilding it was time to build their own cabinet production facility, complete with offices and showroom . Located in Ramsey just off highway 10, Cabinetry Concepts is now able to provide more products and better service to their customers, always striving to go above and beyond expectations and transform each house into a treasured home.

     Owner Bob Paddock can be found on nearly every job site. His attention to detail and conceptual thinking provide innovative ideas and solutions to contractors, businesses and homeowners. 
     Bob's positive, 'can-do' attitude, his leadership by example and a 100% commitment to every customer's total satisfaction are key reasons for the continued success of Cabinetry Concepts.

How long will it take for my custom cabinets to be ready?

The process of getting new custom cabinets is very enjoyable, with the right company! As with any major purchase it is always a great idea to research a few potential suppliers, check references and of course meet with them face to face to see if you click. It is important to be able to communicate well with each other to ensure ideas are understood by both parties so your dream kitchen or other cabinetry project turns out just the way you want it to.     Once you decide on a cabinet maker, depending on where you are with your ideas on a new or remodeled project, it may take one to four weeks to finalize layouts, accessories, stain colors, lighting and other features. Your cabinet maker should be able to provide you with updated layout versions fairly quickly with your minor changes. Major overhauls do take more time and if too many changes are being done you may incur additional plan production costs. 
     When the layouts are approved by you, production begins. Crafting your new cabinetry will take three to five weeks. Factors that may lead to longer production time are; variety of wood species, lot's of special wood features, how busy your cabinet maker is, staining or enameling of the cabinetry. Cabinetry is an art, and cabinet makers and the staining/ enameling steps can't be rushed. 
     Delivery and installation are the next two steps. Depending on the job size, installation may take one day, or up to a week, or more. Finish carpenters are very detailed and want to do a perfect job on the cabinetry. No rushing through just to get finished. 
     At Cabinetry Concepts, our standard cabinetry project is a four week production, and a two day installation. Of course this does vary on certain jobs, due to the size of the project and our current work load schedule. Communication with our customers is key and will help eliminate any scheduling mix ups. We understand there may be a number of other pieces of the project puzzle going on and will do our best to fit into the timeline of the contractor or other sub-contractors. 
     Stay involved, keep in touch and enjoy the process. It's a great learning experience and you will love how your new cabinetry looks!
