About Us
Since 1988, our family-owned company has been handcrafting cabinetry dedicated to making cabinets that are durable, functional and stylish. How did we do it? By focusing on absolute dependability and craftsmanship. JC Huffman Cabinetry is known for our uncompromising quality, our hand applied finishes and our original designs. Quality custom cabinetry built exclusively for your home.
Our custom cabinetry operation fills 22,000 square feet at 3100 W. Burlington Ave. in Fairfield, IA where shoppers are welcomed into a grand 6,000 square-foot showroom which showcases various styles of cabinet works, granite, marble and quartz counter tops, fireplaces, wood stoves and accessories. Beyond our showroom is the manufacturing area, where craftsmen make the cabinetry.
When a homeowner decides to contract with JC Huffman for a custom kitchen or bath, Jim and Teresa help them complete their ideal design with computerized drawings. We can use any wood a customer wants. Some people want to use the wood from their land. That can add a little to the cost, but it's a feature that stock cabinetry can never offer. It becomes a very personal process for our customer. It's important for customers to see their cabinets being made. It makes them feel like they are part of the process. Anyone can sell you cabinetry, not everyone can build it!

45 years of experience in painting and decorating has
exposed me to an abundance of designers and contractors, both good and bad. Being good at what you do does not always include having the ability to work well with customers and sub-contractors. Theresa, Jim and Chasity are highly skilled in every aspect of their business as well as being knowledgeable, calm, warm hearted people. They deserve more than 5 stars!

JC Huffman and their crew are amazing to work with. Very professional in all steps of building and designing our kitchen. Teresa designed our kitchen to be beautiful and functional. It fits our style so well. The cabinets are built with perfection in mind. The quality will last for many years. We get so many compliments from friends and family on our kitchen. People love the look and quality. We love that this kitchen meets everything we ever wanted in a kitchen.

First project we used JC Huffman Cabinetry on. I wish I would have found them sooner. Great professionals to work with on this custom cabinetry and custom match trim project. With their knowledge of woods and colors, they match 120 year old trim in style and in color. The cabinets are excellent quality, all wood faces and wood plywood cabinets. I will be using them again.

I visited the JC Huffman showroom several times while in the planning stages of our new house. I researched other companies and it didn’t take long before I was certain that these were the people I wanted to work with. They have, or have access to the quality of products and materials I wanted in my home. Most importantly, the knowledge of all aspects of design and the craftsmanship of their creations are impeccable. There isn’t one room of my new home that doesn’t have something from this company, and some rooms scream JC Huffman because you can see their products literally everywhere you look. The outside of our home showcases more of the products that are available and displayed in the showroom.
They have an incredible team. A special shout out to Chasity and J.D. for their expertise. Jim and Teresa, I would never want to build a house without you. You possess the Integrity and standards of the highest quality. Thank you for everything.

If I could give 10 stars I would! Teresa, Jim, and their team did a fabulous job on my project. I am so glad I found Teresa! I was building a new home and overwhelmed with the amount of decisions and how I was going to bring my ideas to life. Teresa was so wonderful and insightful in helping me make decisions. Every detail was really well thought out, and I appreciated having a sounding board to create the best possible outcome for my project. With the stress of building, I cannot tell you how invaluable that was and what it meant to me to have someone like her along in my journey. That alone sets them apart from everywhere else, not to mention the craftsmanship and detail of the final product. They are passionate about what they do and really cared that I was happy with the final result. I cannot say enough great things about their business, and I highly recommend them to everyone I know.

We started a basement remodel due to water damage from a water heater. We decided to tile the floor, redo the kitchenette, bottom half of walls and the bathroom. When we started tear down of the kitchen, we discovered bare wiring. Needless to say, this required a teardown of all the walls, redoing all the downstairs wiring to ease my mind.
What ensued was a rather lengthy delay in order to coordinate a much larger project. But JC Huffman were able to help with the coordination and get the project done. It was a long and difficult process for all involved, the Huffman's handled it all with significant help and understanding.
They were able to help with designing and walked us through the entire process and stood by every step of the way. The designs that were decided on worked extremely well and we are beyond ecstatic with the product.
We definitely would HIGHLY recommend them for just about any project. We have several more that we will be calling JC Huffman in on.

Our experience with JC Huffman was excellent! Both Jim and Teresa were extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and professional from day-one to the end of our significant remodel project many weeks later. The Huffmans were great listeners, always hearing our thoughts and ideas while also willingly sharing their own. We're extremely happy with the quality of their products and materials, and with the entire finished product of our project. We couldn't be happier and wouldn't hesitate to use JC Huffman Cabinetry again.

In 2001-2002 we hired JC Huffman to build kitchen cabinets for our new house. We helped designed and they were able to use some elements of ours in the construction. We were very pleased at that time and also with the durability of the cabinets. When we decided to update we wanted to keep our original cabinets and design that we loved. Theresa and Jim helped us with ideas for granite countertops and we also purchased the line of Thor Kitchen appliances that we love. Still waiting to decide on backsplash. We think our "new" kitchen is beautiful and were very pleased with our experience with JC Huffman!

Jim Huffman was one of three business's that came to give a job bid. He made suggestions that made me feel very confident in his knowledge and expertise. The guys came and were very timely ,hard working and cleaned up afterwards. Everyone in the showroom was helpful in picking out the best color stone for our home. We were also able to use the existing mantle which matched the cornice moldings over the living room windows with some of Jim's carpentry skills etc. .The job was done in the quoted time frame and estimate was accurate. They did an amazing job and I love how it turned out . I know that its a sound financial investment in our home as well. We have done several updating projects and this was by far the easiest, LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

We initially contacted JC Huffman for a bathroom vanity and while they were there measuring, we had just asked if they knew around how much kitchen cabinets would be. So from the beginning the project ended up being way more than we anticipated. Our first impression of the folks at JC Huffman was amazing - very responsive, professional and knowledgeable.
The issues started once we had given them some of the money and when the project started. Their attitude completely shifted, to more annoyed and less helpful. I will say that I asked a lot of questions and contacted them a lot, but I felt like they could have been contacting me for some of the things that I was contacting them for.
Once the project started their wasn't enough flooring ordered, and then they did order some more, which delayed the project, and then it was the wrong color. The backsplash for the kitchen was ordered in and was also incorrect, this wasn't their direct issue, the supplier ordered it wrong, but I would just think that they would check what was shipped to them to make sure it was right before they have their contactor bring it to the job.
Also, the vanity that they had made for us, is pretty but it is a bit shorter than we expected. They also made us a mirror and that was also delayed....and to be honest, for the price of the mirror, I would expect the quality of the mirror to be better, you can tell it is low quality. Things are distorted if they are far away.
The other issue is that the cabinets (which are not ones that they make in house - they are ordered from a third party) are really pretty. But there are issues with things not being level, gaps between the doors (you can see the dishes because the gap is so big) pull outs not working all that great. And the project was really drawn out, it took almost 2 months for them to redo our kitchen and bathroom.
These are just a few of the things that happened during our project that were less than desirable. Also their contractor, had given us a estimate and it ended up being 3 times that amount, which was also a huge and disappointing surprise. When we would get an invoice to be paid, it would say supplies and just have a total but it wouldn't say what was bought and have an itemized receipt so we had no way of knowing if the charges were accurate. Due to the fact that the cost was triple what was estimated, it seemed like it might have been inflated. The contractors were also incredibly messy (more than the typical construction), we had a ton of cans or bottles filled with tobacco spit and they had used some of our tools and they just left them scattered all over. This is my first time for a construction process, so maybe this is completely normal, but seems unprofessional to me.
I know that their contractors are not their employees but the way the work to so closely together that there is some responsibility there. I also feel like they made the contractor relay information to me that should have been coming from them. I just wasn't really happy with the service after we had given them our money, in the end. If the service was there, I probably wouldn't be telling you about the bad things that had happened.
I cannot remember the exact date that they were finished up with our project, but I believe it was sometime in November 2017, and as of today, I haven't heard one thing from JC Huffman asking how the project went and to see if we were happy, no follow up at all. The only communication I have gotten are them trying to sell me something or to do this review.

We didn't want a brand new kitchen, just some updates. Huffman was able to work with our budget to help improve what we had. It only took a few weeks for the materials and applicances to arrive and be installed.
