Builder FAQ

Your plans (PDF or photos are fine), your cabinet budget or allowance if you have one, the project address or city, your target install window, and whether your crew or ours is installing. That’s it.

Within 5 business days once we have your actual plans. If anything’s missing, we’ll reach out right away so your quote doesn’t stall.

No. Send plans and a budget. That’s the whole start. We handle the rest and tell you when we need something.

West Michigan, within about 50 miles of our shop in Paris. That includes Mecosta, Osceola, Newaygo, Montcalm, Isabella, Clare, Lake, Wexford and Missaukee counties: Big Rapids, Cadillac, Fremont, Greenville, Mt. Pleasant and the towns in between. Building just outside that? Call us. We’ll tell you straight whether we can serve the job. (Delivery-only jobs can go farther.)

Yes. We meet your homeowners in our showroom, by appointment, Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. You don’t need to be there. Selections are guided by your budget from the first meeting.

No. Your allowance stays between us and you, unless you tell us otherwise.

We raise it before we design it. With your OK, we give the homeowner a change-order range that includes your markup. Without it, we send them back to you. Either way, you issue the change order. See how one builder handles it →

Most builder packages use our Atlas stock line, assembled in our shop. If a homeowner wants to upgrade, we price it against your allowance before anyone commits, and you issue the change order.

Our pricing runs in line with local lumberyards. We won’t be the cheapest quote. What you’re paying for is the work that doesn’t come back to you: the selections you didn’t manage, the reorders you didn’t chase, and the lost production you didn’t have.

We’ll give you a delivery date when you order and confirm it fits your schedule before delivery. Typical delivery for Atlas stock line is 2-3 weeks.

In the Cabinet Hauler, our padded delivery trailer, straight to your jobsite on your schedule. Cabinets arrive assembled, checked and counted.

Every order goes through Jobsite Verified in our shop, so issues get caught and handled before delivery day, not by your crew. If something does come up, Atlas replacement parts ship within 3 days of a damage claim.

Yes, if you want us to. Installation is quoted separately for each job. If your crew installs, the cabinets arrive checked, counted and staged so they can set them in one pass.

100% on Atlas cabinets at order. If we install, labor will be invoiced after installation.

Atlas cabinets carry a Limited Lifetime Warranty. When we install, our workmanship is covered for 1 year, and we cover the labor on warranty replacements.

Every package includes a Homeowner Handoff Packet: a Cabinet Care Guide plus what’s normal for stained and painted finishes. The questions homeowners usually call their builder about get answered before they pick up the phone.
