A kitchen remodel is a huge investment, and it can improve both your quality of life and your home’s resale value. Custom kitchen cabinets are one of the most important features of your new kitchen, and it’s important to understand what you’re getting. Do you know what to look for to ensure a quality cabinet?

Brincks Construction and Cabinet Company has been serving the eastern Iowa communities near Lawler for years, and they have great advice about what to look for in your next kitchen cabinets. Here are three important questions to ask before choosing a cabinet maker:

• What Are The Boxes Made Of? Most of your attention is probably on choosing a door style that you like, but the structural components of the cabinets are just as important. Look for solid-core plywood instead of particleboard for strength and stability. 
• How Do You Make Your Drawers? Dovetail joinery is an old-fashioned woodworking technique that has stood the test of time. Look for these joints to keep drawer fronts and sides solidly linked together—staples are a sign of cheap, rushed work.
• What Hardware Do You Use? Again, it's the hidden hinges and drawer slides that are important here. Look for cold-formed steel for maximum strength, and be sure to ask for soft-close features on doors and drawers.
• Can I See A Sample? You should be able to “test drive” a set of cabinets by opening and closing them in a showroom. You should also be able to take home samples of door fronts and finishes to decide on a favorite finish for your space.
