Cabinet FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing cabinets involves more than selecting a door style or color. Construction, materials, customization, storage, lead times, installation, and design all influence the finished project.
Since 1995, McCabinet Inc. has provided cabinetry for builders, contractors, interior designers, and retail clients throughout the Tampa Bay area. From new construction to renovations, our team provides cabinet design, product selection, and professional installation with an emphasis on craftsmanship and attention to detail.
How much do new kitchen cabinets cost?
Cabinet costs depend on the size of the space, construction, materials, finishes, customization, accessories, and installation requirements.
Stock cabinetry is generally more affordable, while semi-custom and custom cabinets cost more because they provide greater flexibility in dimensions, configurations, finishes, and details.
Instead of comparing price alone, consider construction quality, functionality, customization, and long-term performance. Our team can help identify options that align with the project's specifications, design goals, and budget.

What is the difference between stock, semi-custom, and custom cabinets?
Stock cabinets come in standard sizes and configurations, making them practical for straightforward layouts and projects requiring less customization.
Semi-custom cabinets provide more choices for dimensions, door styles, finishes, storage, and configurations.
Custom cabinetry offers the greatest flexibility. Cabinets can be designed around specific dimensions, architectural details, appliances, storage requirements, and design objectives.
The right option depends on your budget, timeline, layout, and desired level of customization.
Semi-custom cabinets provide more choices for dimensions, door styles, finishes, storage, and configurations.
Custom cabinetry offers the greatest flexibility. Cabinets can be designed around specific dimensions, architectural details, appliances, storage requirements, and design objectives.
The right option depends on your budget, timeline, layout, and desired level of customization.
What is the difference between framed and frameless cabinets?
Framed cabinets have a face frame attached to the front of the cabinet box. This traditional construction works with many different door styles.
Frameless cabinets eliminate the face frame, with doors and drawers attaching directly to the cabinet box. This construction is often associated with clean, contemporary designs and can provide more accessible interior storage.
The right choice depends on the desired appearance, functionality, cabinet line, and project specifications.

What should I look for when choosing quality cabinets?
Look beyond the cabinet door. Cabinet box construction, drawer systems, hinges, shelving, joinery, finishes, warranties, and manufacturer reputation all matter.
Features such as soft-close hardware, full-extension drawers, adjustable shelving, and durable finishes can improve performance and convenience. For projects where craftsmanship and detail are priorities, these construction features deserve careful consideration.

What is the best material for kitchen cabinets?
Plywood is commonly used for cabinet boxes because of its strength and stability. Solid wood is frequently used for doors and other components, while MDF provides a smooth surface that works particularly well for painted finishes.
The best material depends on the application, desired finish, cabinet manufacturer, and budget. Florida's climate also makes proper material selection important. Our team can help you compare construction and finish options for your specific project.

How long does it take to order new cabinets?
Lead times vary by manufacturer, cabinet line, customization, finish, and current production schedules.
Standardized cabinet lines may have shorter lead times, while semi-custom and custom cabinetry generally require more production time.
For new construction and remodeling projects, selecting cabinetry early helps provide enough time for design approvals, ordering, manufacturing, delivery, and installation.

How long does cabinet installation take?
Installation time depends on the number of cabinets, layout, customization, site conditions, and project scope. A straightforward cabinet installation may take several days, while larger or more detailed projects can take longer. Custom features and coordination with other trades can also affect the schedule.
Careful planning helps keep installation efficient while allowing time for precise alignment, adjustments, and finishing details.

Can you provide cabinets for new construction and remodeling projects?
Yes. We provide cabinetry for new construction, renovations, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, and other residential projects.
New construction can provide greater flexibility for layouts, appliances, storage, and architectural details. Remodeling may require creative solutions for existing dimensions and site conditions. In either case, accurate measurements, thoughtful design, and careful coordination are essential.

When should cabinets be ordered for a construction or remodeling project?
Cabinet planning should begin early. Final ordering typically occurs after measurements, layouts, appliances, cabinet specifications, and finishes have been confirmed.
Because manufacturer lead times vary and customized cabinetry can require additional production time, ordering early can help prevent cabinetry from delaying other phases of construction.
For builders, contractors, designers, and retail clients, early coordination also helps keep cabinetry aligned with the overall project schedule.
