Where To Buy Question
My company started out as a painting company and has grown into a painting and remodel business. We have always gotten our cabinets from depot or lowes but now that our volume is getting higher I am wondering if there is other places I should be going for our cabinets and other installed supplies.

Re: Where To Buy Question
Just like you get your paint from a specialty paint store, you should look around for a specialty cabinet store. You can't run a business relying on HD and Lowes designers, they will F&&K your orders up everytime.
If you are in a big enough market there should be plenty of cabinet places with designers on staff who will design what you want for your customers and sell the cabinets to you at a discount. They place the order, they take responsibility for it being right. |

Re: Where To Buy Question
find a cabinet manufacturer to buy directly from so that you can mark the cabinets up and still beat the box stores prices. I buy cabinets wholesale from Armstrong Cabinets, and their salesman will go meet with my customers to finalize the kitchen design and such. He has 20/20 on his laptop so he can show them a 3d model and i don't have to spend thousands of dollars on software. He is happy cuz he just sold another kitchen wholesale w/o much work. I am happy cuz I marked it up and sold it retail. The customer is happy because my price beats HD and they actually get some real customer service for a change. Everyone wins except for the big box.....
