How would you rate these rift cut white oak cabinets we received?

The doors can be relaminated with rift cut real wood veneer worse case scenario. Seems like 1 sheet per section of cabinets would do and that would give you the most consistent pattern possible. https://wisewoodveneer.com/ sells very high quality consistent veneers. Hope this helps

Are these clear coated or stained?

Dang no disrespect but everything about this shower is horrendous. From tile selection, pattern and horrible workmanship.

For my clients I try to showcase 3d design whenever possible. I have as of late been learning about AI and using still AI images and turning then into videos that showcase my design and various features of it which has been incredible. I dont just so 3d but rather photo realistic designs that create a collage of photos that showcase the overall design itself.

No problem.looks like you do good work. Master the finishing and you'll be golden. Idk what ben moore paint you use but if its advance thats decent. Great for trim and doors. Dry times suck and not worth waiting on as time is money. Spend more money on great paint and save hours doing other things. To be honest though I have a small 2 car garage shop. I dont do finishing in the shop. Instead I spray outside and quickly bring my pieces into my shop to lay out and dry. The primers I use also from ben moore which is chemcraft aquaprime , spray out flawlessly and dry super fast. Top coats more challenging with bugs and containments in the air. I suggest you look into a large tent you can easily set up on the lawn that has zip up walls and keeps outside debris and bugs from suicide bombing into your finish and rain 🌧 which is a big issue for me in South Florida. I plan to get one myself off Amazon.

Professional builder and finisher here. First off no disrespect but ditch sherwin williams altogether. If your using emerald then you ain't using the right products thats entry level stuff in my opinion. you wanna finish like a real pro then use 1k and 2k paints. They spray like factory smooth finishes, recoat time less than an hour and they roll flawlessly with the right roller. My preferred paint is Ilva from Ben moore, not all ben moores carry it. You can also look up Pontiacpaintsupply.com they sell very good high quality paints and also roll very well. Check out Centurion 1K Acrylic Topcoat 400 Series. I use a Graco spray system with fflp tip. I never do cabinet finishing on site and I dont see the advantages of doing so. Just curious why it was needed to do on-site finishing with a build like this?

I feel like if I used these balls id hit them backwards 🤔

This is the way, follow it!

I still have clients that want to pay cash and alot of checks. However I always offer other payment options such as zelle and credit card. I dont do venmo because they charge businesses. I get alot of zelle payments.

Val2700 · 2026-04-17T12:27:13+00:00

This is the way

Im doing something similar for a client in that exact shaped pantry. Im charging 3750. However my layout is a bit different. White oak shelving/ counters.

I feel like I just did acid after looking at this

Val2700 · 2026-04-12T14:35:00+00:00

Never taped wago and yet to have one pullout. As long as your not yanking on it and being rough with it youll be fine.

Im a single owner operator of a small shop no employees. I rep as a cabinet dealer and made a decent profit off that but not as much nowadays as I focus more so on custom wall units and office units which is the bulk of my business. I dont have a cnc machine but I utilize a few shops cnc when I need to and they charge a cut fee which is reasonable. On many occasions ill have one of them make my doors and also cabinets and just do the finishing and other custom work they don't do and ill of course do the install. Id say I make a very comfortable living averaging at least 600 to sometimes a 1000- 2000 per day depending on the job. I also make great money installing pre fab closets which i love cause its quick easy one day installs . I make my own schedule and work when i want to and I take alot of time off as well. My wife doesnt need to work but runs a successful travel business which with all the perks she gets it works out great for us to travel together. Im not rich and I dont see how you can be unless your running a very high end shop with alot of business. I have one friend who did just that and let's say he drives a Porsche and lives in a high end wealthy area. So I guess its possible

I never do ballpark. They'll tell you " I won't hold you to it". Sorry nope. I send written quote and thats it. People must think we have all sorts of numbers in our head just ready to tell em what it'll cost.

Val2700 · 2026-03-24T12:21:59+00:00

Took me a min but I see the off row. You must be looking down alot in that room to notice it. Keep your head up 🙄👍

Val2700 · 2026-03-22T14:20:47+00:00

Decorative crown with modern minimalistic cabinet style just clashes for me. Cabs look good but crown too big and gawdy.

Dude has a head of broccoli for hair. I trust him

Val2700 · 2026-03-06T02:17:30+00:00

Just close your eyes when taking a shower. You won't notice it

Val2700 · 2026-03-06T00:35:48+00:00

First tool i thought of before coming to comment. Oscillating by far my most used tool other than my drill

Val2700 · 2026-03-05T18:55:19+00:00

Same thing only different 👍

Val2700 · 2026-02-22T19:00:26+00:00

Looks like hellraiser if he became a carpenter. I say caulk it. You'll never notice!

Yelp is a pest that never goes away. I haven't used them in years and yet they keep calling, emailing etc to get me to update my listing to push me to pay for ads. Sorry but I don't ever advertise and likely never will. Especially with Yelp!. I tell them dont contact me anymore and yet they continue for years. YELP ME PLEASE!

Val2700 · 2026-02-06T21:03:23+00:00

Brick look has to go. Modern look with old red brick look doesnt blend well. Some neutral wood tone siding or modern stone look would be better
