Feature Friday: The Value of Custom Cabinetry: Why It’s Worth the Investment
It’s not just about storage—it’s about craftsmanship, functionality, and creating a space that feels both beautiful and built to last.
In Residential Design, Millwork (aka Cabinetry) is a large part of what we do you need to find a reputable millworker you can trust. One that operates with integrity, and transparency and has the expertise to go with it. For me, that is Brandon Laney with Progressive Cabinets LLC.
“At Progressive Cabinets, we pride ourselves on being a third-generation custom cabinet shop dedicated to creating high-end, fully customized cabinetry. Our expertise spans a range of styles, from charming farmhouse aesthetics to sleek ultra-modern designs. While we’ve successfully completed both residential and commercial projects, we’ve chosen to focus exclusively on residential work to better serve our clients.
Our background in upscale commercial projects has given us a unique edge. It has allowed us to think outside the box and develop innovative solutions for residential clients with unique spaces and specific design needs. We utilize advanced technology, such as 3D laser room templating and CNC machining, ensuring unparalleled precision and craftsmanship. There’s virtually nothing we can’t handle.
Choosing custom cabinetry over prefabricated options is an investment in quality, durability, and personalized design. Unlike prefab cabinets, which are mass-produced with standard dimensions and limited material choices, custom cabinets are built specifically for your space, ensuring a perfect fit and a unique aesthetic.
With custom cabinets, you’re not just getting a product—you’re getting the expertise of professionals who truly understand materials, finishes, and functionality tailored to your space and lifestyle. We use only the highest quality hardware and materials, ensuring superior craftsmanship and longevity, making sure that everything we build is made to last a lifetime.
Additionally, prefab cabinets often use lower-quality materials and construction methods, not to add value for the customer, but to increase company profits. This results in cabinets that are more prone to warping, chipping, and overall poor quality workmanship. Hinges and drawer slides often break or wear out quickly, leading to misaligned doors, sticking drawers, and a general decline in functionality. Over time, these defects accumulate, causing frustration and additional costs for homeowners who must replace or repair components more frequently. Should repairs or replacements ever be needed, our lead times are significantly shorter than those of prefab companies, and since every piece is custom-made, matching and modifications are seamless.
For those considering a kitchen or bathroom renovation, we strongly recommend working with a professional designer. A skilled designer is invaluable in ensuring a smooth, on-budget project. We love collaborating with Kayla from Raw Ash Interiors—her professionalism, ethics, and keen design eye consistently bring added value to our clients. We’re grateful for our partnership with her and the exceptional results she helps achieve.”
