Semi-custom works to specific materials, specific door styles and specific sizes, and then leaves the colour entirely open.

Where semi-custom fits

This option combines the buying strength of a multi-million dollar corporation with the fitting and finishing of a local shop. You give up some of the dimensional freedom of the full custom line and keep almost all of the choice that shows.

It suits a kitchen where the layout is reasonably conventional but the finish still has to be yours. We plan the run, order to size, and handle the parts of the job that decide whether a kitchen looks fitted or looks installed.

Set sizes, open colours

Specific materials, door styles and sizes, with the colour left entirely to you.

Manufacturing strength

The buying power of a large manufacturer behind the boxes, with a local shop handling the parts that show.

Planned to the room

We measure and plan the run first, so the set sizes land where they should instead of leaving filler everywhere.

How we work for you

We make kitchen renovation simple, transparent, and stress-free from the first consultation to the final walkthrough.

STEP 01

Bring Us Your Ideas

A sketch on a napkin, blueprints from your architect, a page torn out of a magazine. Any of it gets your idea into our shop.

STEP 02

Design & Estimate

We measure the room, plan the space, and work through door styles, woods and counters until the design fits both the kitchen and the budget.

STEP 03

Built In Our Shop

Your cabinets are made to order and then stained and finished locally, so nothing arrives on site as a surprise.

STEP 04

Fitted By The Makers

The cabinetmakers who built the work install it, and we stay available afterwards, whether that is next week or next year.

Why people call us back

A kitchen is not just another room. It is the heart of the house and the place a family actually lives, so we do not stop until the result is right.

Three Ways To Buy

Full custom, semi-custom and stock programs, so the cabinets are matched to your budget instead of the other way round.

You Deal With An Owner

No second-string crew sent out by a factory. You work directly with a principal who has a stake in how the job turns out.

We Stay Available

If you are our customer, we are there when you need us, whether that is tomorrow, next week or next month.

Question? Answered

The things people usually want to know before they pick up the phone.

What kind of cabinets do you make?

All three kinds. Full custom cabinets give you unlimited choice of material, design, colour and finish, framed in the traditional way or frameless in the European style, in woods like oak, cherry, maple and hickory. Our semi-custom line works to set door styles and sizes with unlimited colours. We also run stock programs when the budget is the deciding factor.

What countertops can I have?

DuPont Corian, natural granites, and laminates by Wilsonart and Formica. We will talk through how each one wears, what it costs, and how it sits with the doors and the floor you have chosen, rather than pushing you toward one material.

Where are the cabinets actually built?

Here. Everything we make is built, stained and finished locally in Western Massachusetts, which is how we keep control of the quality and get it right the first time. Kitchen-Works is staffed entirely by cabinetmakers, so the people who build your kitchen are the people who fit it.

Do you work on anything besides kitchens?

Yes. The same cabinetry carries through to dining rooms and the rest of the house, and over the past twenty years we have built museum-quality furniture, entertainment centres, desks and hutches, computer stations, bank counters and multiple-unit ATM surrounds.

Can you help if I am doing the work myself?

That is what we call Do It Yourself Insurance. If you get puzzled or stymied part way through, you can retain us on a flat fee to help in whatever capacity is needed, as a design consultant, a technical assistant, or a second pair of hands. You decide how involved we get.

How do I get started?

Call 413-589-1454 or email ron@kitchen-works.com and we will arrange an appointment. Bring whatever you have: a rough sketch, an architect’s blueprints, photographs, or a page out of a magazine. We are happy to show you a portfolio of recent projects and to put you in touch with past clients.
