Best Kitchen Cabinet Brands for your Home Remodel

The kitchen is one of the best rooms in a home to remodel because it adds immediate value to your home, and it’s a remodel that you’ll use every day. To get the most out of your kitchen remodel, choosing the right cabinets is a must, but it’s also a big decision. Cabinets set the tone and style for the room, and they’re also one of the bigger investments you’ll make in the project. Here are a few things to consider before you make your investment, and a few of the best kitchen cabinet brands that won’t let you down on quality or style. 

What To Consider Before Buying Your New Kitchen Cabinets:

Before you decide what kitchen cabinet brand you’ll go with, it’s a good idea to know what you’re looking for. There are all kinds of great kitchen cabinet brands out there, and they each have different specialties along with all kinds of options for finishes, colors, and features. Knowing what you like, how much you plan to spend, and what types of features you’re looking for will help you narrow your choices down to one particular kitchen cabinet brand. 

Style

While every kitchen cabinet brand will offer a variety of door styles and finishes, they each have their own distinct look. It’s important to have a clear idea of what style you like, and what you plan to implement in your new kitchen before you decide on the best brand for you. For example, one new style trend is frameless cabinets. Though it’s a popular style, not all brands have a line of frameless cabinets. That style choice alone will help you narrow down the brands you can choose from for your new kitchen cabinets.

Features

Your kitchen remodel is your chance for your ultimate dream kitchen. If you’ve been living in your house for a while, you already know what’s working for you, and what’s really not. Now is the time to add features that will help streamline your day. Cabinet features, like a slide-out trash can, a built-in charging station, roll trays or a pantry cabinet can better customize your kitchen to your lifestyle while adding to your kitchen’s functionality. 

Again, these types of features may only be offered by some brands that have custom or semi-custom cabinet building capabilities. It’s good to think about these features before you get too far into the purchasing process, especially if you’re remodeling an oddly-shaped or sized kitchen, that might benefit from custom cabinets. While these features will cost more upfront, they’ll help contribute to a more functional kitchen in the long term and can help you boost the resale value of your home. 

Construction

The construction of a cabinet is a big marker of how much the cabinet will cost, but it also tells you how long you can expect your cabinet to last. As you might expect, cabinets that are made completely from hardwood are going to be the most expensive, but they’re also likely to last the longest. Cabinets with particleboard or plywood components will be more budget-friendly. 

In either case, be sure you’re looking at the quality of the construction to assess how long the cabinets will last you. You can find some exceptional quality cabinets with hardwood faces and plywood boxes and drawers — you just have to know what to look for. Cabinets and cabinet components that feature dovetail joinery, over stapled particleboard, are the best way to go for durability.

The way cabinets are made will have a big impact on the budget. With cabinets, you certainly get what you pay for. If you’re not sure which brands to trust, just keep on reading. We’re going to provide a list of some of our favorite, top-quality kitchen cabinet brands offering cabinetry solutions at every investment level.
