FAQ
Let's answer some of your most common questions here.
From deposit to installation, custom cabinetry usually takes approx. 6-8 weeks, depending on approval of design renderings, site readiness, and delivery of your chosen materials from suppliers. Once designs are approved and mateiarls ordered, I can give you a specific timeline for installation and completion.
Durability is key for FehrCo cabinetry. With your renderings, I will supply options for core materials (5/8–3/4 melamine vs. plywood), drawer boxes, hinges and slides. At FehrCo, we use construction methods that match your needs and design goals. Whether you prefer frameless full-overlay cabinetry or face-frame inset, our team has the experience and craftsmanship to deliver the style you’re after. Using a combination of dowel joinery and blind dado construction, we build cabinets that are strong, precise, and made to last.
You won't have to worry about chipping or staining with a FehrCo finish. Your cabinets will be finished with durable, smooth, and consistent coatings. I will offer recommendations for cleaning to maintain your finish. At FehrCo, we select the finish that best matches your needs and budget. We understand that not everyone requires the highest-end finish on the market, and we’re committed to offering options that balance performance and value. Our finish options range from Conversion Varnish(our entry-level product) to Acrylic and Polyurethane (our premium upgrades). Each option provides reliable durability, with Acrylic and Polyurethane offering enhanced protection and longevity.
If you’re unsure which finish is right for you, we’re happy to guide you based on your usage, style preferences, and budget.
Storage and workflow are critically important. I offer in-house and on-site options for complete project flexibility. With input from you, we will map out your work zone and recommend tricks to maximize storage. You have final say on the design renderings before manufacturing begins.
Before the design rendering stage, we will require appliance model numbers to ensure exact fit and swing clearances, as well as ventilation space.
Once design renderings are approved and manufacturing begins, I will provide a readiness checklist (flat/level floors and walls, paint done, flooring in, appliances on site, utilities capped, room clear). This ensures a smooth installation process.
At our initial discussion, before design renderings are done, you will have a chance to decide on what features you want and need. This may include such features as soft-close drawers and cabinets, pullouts, special corner solutions, trash pullouts, spice/pantry, corner units, tray dividers, lighting, etc. Your estimate will include these features.
FehrCo proudly offers a 3-year comprehensive warranty. You will be impressed by all that this warranty covers. Satisfaction is in the details.
FehrCo asks for a deposit at sign-off of the design renderings and approval of the Estimate. The balance is due at substantial completion. Any written change orders will impact the final cost and timeline.
