Our Customized Process
At Raleigh Woodworks, we’ve built our process to be clear, efficient, and tailored to each client. Custom cabinetry isn’t a one-size-fits-all service — and our goal is to guide you from idea to installation with confidence every step of the way.
Initial Contact (Virtual)
We start with a complimentary Zoom consultation to learn more about your space, goals, and overall vision.
This is a working conversation — we’ll review inspiration, talk through layout ideas, and provide a ballpark investment range based on similar projects.
This step helps us both determine if we’re a good fit before moving forward.
In-Home Consultation
Once we’ve aligned on direction and budget, the next step is an in-person consultation at your home.
During this visit, we:
-
Take detailed measurements
-
Review layout options in your space
-
Identify any site conditions that could impact the design
-
Refine the overall scope of work
This is where your project moves from ideas into a clearly defined plan.
A consultation fee applies, which covers:
-
On-site evaluation
-
Project planning
-
Initial design development and/or renderings
This ensures we’re able to dedicate the time needed to thoughtfully plan your project before moving into final pricing and production.
Design & Scope Development
For custom cabinetry projects, we move into a design phase where details are finalized.
Depending on your project, this may include:
-
Cabinet layouts and configurations
-
Material and finish selections
-
Functional details (storage, hardware, specialty features)
-
3D renderings or visual references, when needed
This phase includes a set number of revisions to refine your design.
Additional changes beyond that scope can be accommodated as needed.
Our goal here is simple: Get everything right on paper before anything is built.
Final Proposal & Approval
Once your design and scope are finalized, we provide a detailed proposal outlining:
-
Full scope of work
-
Project cost
-
Estimated timeline
From there, you’ll review and approve the project to move forward.
Project Scheduling & Material Ordering
After approval and deposit:
-
Materials are ordered
-
Your project is placed into our production schedule
-
Installation timing is confirmed
We’ll guide you through any final selections (paint colors, hardware, etc.) to keep everything on track.
Shop Production
All cabinetry and built-ins are constructed in our shop by our in-house team.
This allows us to:
-
Maintain consistent quality
-
Control timelines
-
Focus on precision and finish work
You’ll receive updates along the way so you always know where your project stands.
Installation
Our team handles installation with a focus on efficiency, cleanliness, and respect for your home.
We’ll coordinate timing in advance and provide reminders leading up to your install date.
Final Walkthrough & Completion
At the end of your project, we’ll walk the space with you to ensure everything meets expectations.
Final payment is collected upon completion, and your project is backed by our warranty.
