Custom Cabinet Makers Near Hilo

“I am a 72 year old retired building contractor who for many years designed, built, and sold high end custom homes on the Big Island. For for a long time I had a cabinetmaker, who was trained in Austria, who built all the cabinets for my homes to an extremely high level of craftsmanship, so I was used to high quality work. After 7 years of retirement and travel my wife and I set about to build what we hope to be our final home here in Hawaii. Because of our age we designed our home to be wheelchair accessable in the future, which required many custom specs for the cabinetry. As my previous cabinetmaker had retired and moved away, we had to find a new cabinetmaker, We contacted Jay's Custom Cabinets and began working with Jay's daughter, Robin, who handles the design work. After several rounds of refining the design, we settled on horizontal grain matched sapele plywood lowers and solid wood door uppers with glass panels. Throughout the entire process they were extremely accommodating to all my special requests and Robin even found several details I had overlooked that would have caused problems later on. When the cabinets were delivered I installed them myself, which required me to take an extremely close look at everything. I can say that all the dimensions were spot on and the cabinets met all my very critical expectations. Two other things I'd like to add: First, their prices are very reasonable. I got a quote for the same project from a well known high end cabinet shop in Kona that was almost exactly double the price Jay's charged us! Secondly, I have to comment on their integrity. We had just finished the design and final quote process when all the covid supply chain problems hit. Lumber and plywood prices soared. Of course they had to inform me that the price would now be higher. Anticipating a huge increase in the cost of our cabinets I was extremely happy when the final quote was only about 8% higher. They could have easily charged me more. So if you are looking for a quality custom cabinet builder for your project here on the Big Island I highly recommend Jay's Custom Cabinets.”

I have a bit of an eccentric taste so it was challenging to find someone who I could work with for the desired effect of what I was looking for. Laura and Kevin spent a day at my house measuring and consulting in order for us to achieve the desired result...my ultimate kitchen!”
