“The quality rivals that of any ultra luxury design and the fact that they're made locally is amazing.”
“My husband and I worked with Fred Alsen on the remodel of our dated, 1996 condo kitchen.”
My husband and I worked with Fred Alsen on the remodel of our dated, 1996 condo kitchen. Our realtor recommended that we visit Builders Cabinet once we decided to remodel. We went to "just take a look" and left with a complete design idea after describing our vision and working with Fred. Fred is a gifted designer, and we were drawn immediately to one of his stylish installations in the showroom. In a few days, Eric came to measure, and not even a week later, we had measured plans, drawings and elevations from Fred! Everyone we met and worked with is talented, professional, and experienced. We used Builders to install the cabinets and worked on a separate contract with the same contractor, Ivan, to do all the work. Fred also referred us to his contacts for appliances and countertops. A wonderful experience. We are truly pleased with the outcome (a little painting left to do). We highly recommend.

“Start to finish, a fantastic experience.”
Start to finish, a fantastic experience. This is the second project we’ve done with Builders Cabinet, and we couldn’t be happier. Fred is great to work with. He has an eye for style and creative solutions for our odd layout. He was also able to provide a handful of referrals for other vendors to help complete the project. We did a DIY install, and having Eric as a resource was invaluable. He graciously shared his knowledge on how to install some of the more difficult pieces. Lastly, Danny with scheduling/delivery provided clear communication on when to expect delivery and everything was handled with care. The three of them made for such an easy process, and I would absolutely recommend.

Great experience working with Fred and the team, listened to what we wanted, while providing great feedback based on their expertise. Full kitchen and foyer cabinets look fantastic in a completely custom space.

I’ve worked with Mike Falbo at Builders Cabinet a bunch of times and he’s great to deal with. Pricing is always really fair, and the quality is solid whether it’s simple box cabinets or semi-custom work. They show up when they say they will and get the job done right. Can’t ask for more than that.

**May 2025, New Review After Needing Support: I contacted our sales rep and designer Mike, after needing support for an issues with our vent fan front panel. After hearing the issue, Mike was able to get a replacement panel under warranty and without cost to us. This was more than I expected. I've found that the entire team from sales, back office, delivery/logistics, etc. were always going above and beyond. I would definitely recommend Builder's Cabinet. WS **May 2021, Original Review From Remodel: Mike F. was our designer and sales rep contact. He was super responsive, attentive, and most of all, listened to what we really wanted. Based on those conversations, and after some professional suggestions, he designed our dream kitchen (complete with mandatory coffee & puppy stations). Cabinets are good quality and look great in our modern style home. Would definitely recommend these guys. Hit them up for more pics. WS

“Best prices in Chicago for quality.”
Best prices in Chicago for quality! I shopped around and I didn’t find anything better than here. Great people thanks for everything Ronnie. Kitchen wasn’t completely finished yet on these pictures still needed to finish the crown molding and the bottom of the cabinets.

“The entire process was amazing.”
The entire process was amazing! I had a basic idea of what I was going for and Fred absolutely nailed it! He was so helpful with cabinet selection and right there when my contractor had questions. Also I LOVE MY CABINETS!!! They look amazing and function beautifully. I cook a lot so they're opened and closed frequently and I have nothing but good things to say about their hardware.

“We went to BCS with a drawing of our kitchen and met with Rani Jain.”
We went to BCS with a drawing of our kitchen and met with Rani Jain. She helped us design the perfect kitchen, with new Island, fantastic cabinets, and buffet with TV in the center. We were 100% satisfied with the design, recommendations for custom drawers and storage, as well as quality and craftsmanship of the cabinets.

On behalf of ReNew Communities I'd like to say thank you for excellent cabinetry we get from Builder's Cabinet. The quality of the cabinetry, the on-time performance, and the great service make our kitchens special. We're doing 6+ homes a year and have Builder's Cabinet in every one of our homes. These are not builder quality cabinets; they are far above.
