Construction & Finishing
Construction Specifications
A cabinet is not just a cabinet. There are many ways to cut costs and cut corners. At Heister House Cabinetry, we strive to build you the best, strongest, and longest lasting cabinets possible. That’s why we use solid plywood sides, backs, and floors; we screw our face frames together with pocket screws; and we use dovetail drawers whenever you specify under-mount drawer glides. We want your cabinets to be something that you’ll be proud of for years to come.
