Wood Cabinet Doors
We have been using one of the oldest and most experienced door makers in the United States for almost 20 years. Not only are we a customer but have been New England’s sales representative for over 18 of those years. Many of my competitors use the same doors for kitchen cabinet refacing projects and new custom-built cabinet installations. They are Superior Cabinet Components and they carry hundreds of styles, with thousands of colors and finishes in which to choose from. They have developed a scheduling system and manufacturing procedures that give us one of the fastest delivery times in the country.
Never substituting speed and quantity for quality, Superior Cabinet Components maintains the highest quality standards in the industry. All doors and drawer fronts are ordered custom, without exception. The styles and rails are 7/8 inch thick, and the raised panels are 3/4 inch thick, exceeding industry standards. All the doors and drawer fronts arrive at our shop unfinished, so that we have control of staining and finishing details. We apply a Sherwin Williams con-version varnish, which is a four step process.
The end result is a kitchen that leaves you with a durable finish for years to come. Color selection is limitless, we can custom mix and match just about any color, and would be more than happy to submit samples upon request.
