Cabinetry FAQs

At Artistic Cabinetry, cabinetry is more than storage. It’s how your home works, how it feels, and how your style shows up every day. As a local, family-owned and operated cabinet store, we design and deliver cabinetry solutions that fit real Long Island homes and real life. Below, we answer the most common questions we hear from homeowners in our area.

What types of cabinets do you offer?

We offer a full range of cabinetry solutions for nearly every space in your home. This includes kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, custom wall units, boot benches, lockers, and outdoor cabinets. We also design specialty storage for laundry rooms, home offices, pantries, and built-ins. If you can imagine it, we can likely design it.

Do you specialize in kitchen cabinets only?

No. Kitchens are a major focus, but they are not the limit. Many homeowners come to us for bathroom vanities, mudroom lockers, family room wall units, and outdoor cabinetry. Our designers think in terms of the whole home, not just one room.

Are your cabinets custom or semi-custom?

We offer both. Our cabinetry lines allow for extensive customization, including cabinet sizes, finishes, door styles, storage inserts, and organizational features. This gives you the flexibility of custom design without unnecessary limits, while still staying mindful of budget and timeline.

Which cabinet brands do you carry?

We proudly offer cabinetry from some of the most respected manufacturers in the industry:

• Dura Supreme
• Showplace
• Urban Effects
• Europa
• Mid Continent
• Mantra

Each brand brings something different to the table, from sleek modern lines to timeless traditional designs. We help you choose the right brand based on style, durability, and how you use your space.

How do I know which cabinet brand is right for me?

That’s where our design consultation comes in. We walk through your goals, budget, layout, and lifestyle needs. Some homeowners want maximum storage. Others want a bold, modern look. We match those priorities to the right cabinet line so you get results that make sense long-term.

Do you offer free cabinet consultations?

Yes. We offer free design consultations in a comfortable, no-pressure environment. You can visit our remodeled showroom or schedule a consultation to discuss your ideas, ask questions, and explore materials before making any decisions.

What happens during a design consultation?

We start by listening. We talk about how you use your space, what frustrates you now, and what you want to improve. From there, our designers review layout options, cabinet styles, finishes, and storage features. You’ll leave with clear direction, not confusion.

Can you help with cabinet layout and space planning?

Absolutely. Smart cabinetry starts with a smart layout. Our designers are trained to optimize workflow, storage, and visual balance. We consider traffic flow, appliance placement, door swings, and how everything connects so your cabinets actually work for your daily routine.

Do you have a showroom I can visit?

Yes. Our remodeled showroom features cabinet displays, door styles, finishes, and countertop options. Seeing cabinetry in person helps you compare textures, colors, and construction details that photos simply can’t show.

Are your cabinets suitable for older Long Island homes?

Yes. Many homes in this area were built decades ago and come with unique layouts. We regularly design cabinetry for older homes, uneven walls, and non-standard spaces. Custom sizing and thoughtful design make all the difference.

Do you offer modern and traditional cabinet styles?

We do both, and everything in between. From clean, flat-panel modern cabinetry to detailed traditional doors and transitional designs, our selection covers a wide range of aesthetics. We help you choose a style that fits your home, not just what’s trending.

Can you design custom wall units and built-ins?

Yes. Custom wall units are one of our specialties. We design built-ins for living rooms, home offices, media spaces, and libraries. These units are tailored to your room dimensions and storage needs, creating a seamless, finished look.

What are boot benches and lockers?

Boot benches and lockers are popular mudroom features. They combine seating, cubbies, hooks, and closed storage to keep shoes, coats, and bags organized. They’re especially useful for busy households that want less clutter at the door.

Do you offer outdoor cabinets?

Yes. We design outdoor cabinets built to handle moisture, temperature changes, and regular use. Outdoor cabinetry is perfect for kitchens, entertaining areas, and poolside storage, and it adds both function and value to your outdoor space.

How long does the cabinet process take?

Timelines vary based on cabinet brand, level of customization, and project scope. During your consultation, we’ll outline realistic lead times and keep you informed at every stage so there are no surprises.

Can you coordinate cabinetry with countertops?

Yes. We offer cabinet and countertop solutions together, so everything works as a cohesive design. Coordinating these elements at the same time helps with color matching, edge details, and overall flow.

Are your cabinets built to last?

The brands we carry are known for quality construction, durable finishes, and reliable performance. Properly designed and installed cabinetry should serve your home well for many years, both functionally and visually.

What types of cabinet hardware are available?

There is a wide range of decorative cabinet hardware options, including:

• Knobs for a traditional or minimal look
• Pulls for drawers and larger doors
• Integrated or edge pulls for modern cabinetry
• Statement hardware for focal points like islands or wall units

Finishes vary as well, including brushed nickel, matte black, polished chrome, brass, bronze, and mixed-metal styles.

How much do new cabinets cost?

Cost is one of the most common questions we hear. New cabinets vary widely in price based on materials, brand, customization, and the size of the project. Because every home and design need is unique, we don’t use one flat price. During your free consultation, we’ll review your layout and style preferences, take measurements, and provide a detailed estimate that reflects your choices.

Do you help homeowners stay on budget?

We do. Our designers guide you through options that align with your investment level. We focus on smart choices that deliver value, durability, and design impact without overspending where it doesn’t matter.
