A note from Travis, owner of Thirty Three Cabinetry
Cabinet problems cost you production days. On your next job, every room finishes in one pass, and your crew moves on to the next build.
Before builders get here, most try one of three things.
Send them to the design center. Hand them a budget. Buy it cheaper online.
Some builders send the homeowner to the lumberyard design center. Some hand over a budget and let them shop. Some keep the bid tight by buying cabinets online or at a big box store. Each one makes sense when you’re bidding the job months before the homeowner makes selections.
Then the job starts. The design center sells the homeowner their forever kitchen, and you’re the one explaining the overage. Hand over a budget, and they spend it. Then they’re asking why you didn’t budget more and what they can cut to keep the cabinets they just fell in love with. Buy online, and the savings last until install day, when a damaged box or missing piece stops your crew.
All three leave you stuck between the allowance, what the homeowner wants and your own time.

Every Complete Cabinet Package includes a Bid-Ready Allowance Sheet, a realistic cabinet number you can drop into your bid without chasing a quote. An accurate allowance helps you win the job and protects your margin once it starts.

From the owner
I’ve been the builder waiting on cabinets.
Before Thirty Three Cabinetry, I ran a design-build remodeling company. My first job buying cabinets direct from a wholesaler was a cottage remodel 45 minutes from home. We opened the boxes and found eight cabinets with broken face frames.
They still had the manufacturer’s red QC reject stickers on them. They’d gone through every stop on the way to my jobsite, and nobody caught it until install day. We lost production that day, then again three weeks later when the replacements finally showed up.
That’s why every order goes through our Jobsite Verified process before it reaches your jobsite. Issues get caught and handled before delivery day, not by your crew.
27 apartment units. One day per unit to install.
On a 27-unit renovation, tenants left in the morning and came home to a working kitchen and bath. A two-man crew tore out and replaced each unit’s cabinets in a single day.
Each morning, we delivered that day’s cabinets assembled, checked, tagged and ready to set. There was no sifting through boxes, no unpacking and no doors to pull.
When the job closed out, the builder told us they couldn’t have done it with another supplier. Both installers now run their own businesses, and they use us on their jobs.
You’re a builder, not a cabinet dealer.
Here’s what install day looks like now.
It’s install day on a three-bedroom ranch. The cabinets are already in the garage, out of the drywall crew’s way and a few steps from the kitchen. Taped to the first box is a checklist with every piece on the order checked off, end panels included.
You don’t count boxes. You grab the first base cabinet and start setting.
By Thursday afternoon the kitchen’s done and both baths have their vanities set. The countertop template is already scheduled. If our crew handled the install, you weren’t even there. You were at your next start.
The job closes out on schedule, and the final draw comes in on time. You didn’t make one call about cabinets all week, and you made it home for dinner.
You never wanted to be the guy managing cabinet orders. Now you’re not.
