Cabinets FAQ

Frequently asked questions about cabinets

At Orchard Hill Cabinetry, we know cabinets aren’t just boxes with doors. They’re essential to how you live, work, and move through your space. Whether you’re remodeling a kitchen, adding a mudroom, or building from the ground up, the right cabinetry makes all the difference. That’s why we’ve compiled answers to the questions we hear most often. If you're new to shopping for cabinetry or just want to make sure you're making the right decision, this page is for you.

What types of cabinets do you manufacture?

We craft custom cabinets for kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms, laundry rooms, offices, built-ins, and more. If you can dream it, we can likely build it. From traditional shaker styles to modern flat-front designs, we tailor every cabinet to your needs. Our team works with homeowners, builders, and designers across Chicago, Western Suburbs, and Northern Suburbs, IL, to create beautiful, functional cabinetry that fits seamlessly into your space.

Do you offer custom sizes and finishes?

Yes. All our cabinetry is built to order, which means custom sizing, layouts, finishes, and configurations are always part of the process. Whether you’re working with a tight corner, a high ceiling, or a one-of-a-kind design idea, we adjust to fit your specifications. We also offer a wide selection of paints, stains, and wood species so you can get exactly the look you want.

Do you install the cabinets too?

While we specialize in manufacturing, we work with a trusted network of professional installers throughout the area. If you don’t already have an installer, we can recommend a crew familiar with our products. That way, you can feel confident that your cabinetry will be handled with care from start to finish.

Can I see samples before I commit?

Absolutely. We encourage clients to view finish samples, wood types, and door styles in person. Whether you visit our showroom or work with one of our designers remotely, we’ll make sure you’re confident in your choices before anything goes into production.

What sets Orchard Hill Cabinetry apart from other cabinet manufacturers?

We combine old-school craftsmanship with modern tools and technology. That means your cabinets won’t just look great on day one. They’ll function beautifully for years to come. We’re also local. Based right here in Chicago, we bring Midwestern pride and reliability to every project. No generic imports or assembly-line shortcuts. Just quality, built-to-order cabinetry made by people who care.

Do you offer cabinets for commercial projects?

Yes, we do. We’ve worked with offices, retail spaces, hospitality properties, and multi-family housing units across the region. Our team understands the functional and visual needs of commercial cabinetry and can build solutions to meet specific codes and durability requirements. If you’re a contractor or commercial designer, we’d love to connect.

Can I update my cabinets without replacing them?

It depends on the condition of your existing cabinets. If the boxes are in good shape, you might consider refacing, repainting, or swapping out the doors and hardware. While we don’t offer refacing services ourselves, we can manufacture custom doors and drawer fronts to give your cabinetry a fresh look. If your layout needs improvement or you're going for a totally new style, a full replacement might be a better long-term investment.

Do you work with homeowners directly or only through contractors?

Both. We often work directly with homeowners, helping guide them through the design and build process. We also collaborate with contractors, interior designers, and architects who are looking for reliable custom cabinetry from a trusted Chicago partner.

How do I get started?

Just reach out. Whether you have blueprints in hand or just a Pinterest board full of ideas, we’ll help you turn those dreams into a space you love.
