Why Us

So you want
great cabinets.

So you want great cabinets. Are you looking forward to building your own custom designed home? Or are you about to take on an exciting remodel? All too often, the cabinets are forgotten about, left to a last minute decision due to all of the other big tasks we have to take on when building a new home or completing a remodel. Cabinets should definitely take precedent in your kitchen and bathroom, as they are a huge element of making sure your room is tied in together and looks great. Don’t skimp on hiring a great cabinet company. KBD is a great place to hire someone to help with your custom or stock cabinets. We have 4 locations — Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, North Liberty, and Davenport.

What to look for

Research, style, budget, and features.

Research

In a remodel, cabinets can account for about 40% of your budget so it’s vital that you do your research and hire a good company that holds quality above all else. How can you make sure you hire a good cabinet company? Look for a company who has their products available with plenty of details accompanying them online, or have samples in the store. Knowing the material and make of the product beforehand will save you time and make it so you can skip over consults with less than par cabinet companies. Great news — KBD has it all!

Style

You have two options when it comes to the structure of your cabinets: framed and frameless. Framed cabinets use doors that are attached to a box and face frame and are extremely sturdy for this reason. Frameless cabinets have a more modern style and skip the box and face frame but rigidity is compromised in this style. A great way to have the best of both worlds if you want a frameless style is to choose a framed style with a full overlay door that will cover the face frame. Visit with one of our KBD store designers in Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, North Liberty, or Davenport. We're here to help.

Budget

How much are you expecting to spend on your cabinets? If you want to know the exact cost of the cabinets you are wanting to go with, make a call to one of our cabinet stores near you. Note — there are three categories of cabinets you may choose from: stock, semi-custom, and custom cabinets. As a general rule of thumb, stock cabinets are going to be your cheapest option, semi-custom is going to increase your price range, and custom cabinets are going to cost you the most money (but are well worth the investment).

Features

When you purchase new, quality cabinets you are making an investment in your home. Don’t skimp on this by not adding in all of the convenient features that cabinets offer. Whether it’s an option for a pull out trash can, charging station, step ledge, or other convenience, make sure you include all of the great extras that are available in your new cabinets.
