How to Order
Everything we make is built to order. Whether you're looking for a little nightstand, storage for your extensive record collection, or an entire kitchen, it all starts with a conversation.
1. Get an estimate
Start with measurements
When you fill out the Quote Request Form, please provide the overall dimensions of the cabinets you need. A simple sketch with a few dimensions is usually enough for us to start on a price. Photos are really helpful too. You don’t have to be an architect, but if you are, some plans and elevations don’t hurt either.
Then tell us what you need
Want a bookcase to store your extensive art book collection? Tell us how big your biggest book is. Want to put grandma’s cast iron on display? How many pans are we talking about?
With this info, we'll come up with an initial design and calculate the price of your specific project.
2. We'll handle the design
Leave it to us!
You don't need to design the cubby and drawer locations yourself, leave that to us! We have a team of designers here at Kerf and one designer will be assigned to work with you. We are experts at designing a visually beautiful layout around your storage needs.
Design stage
We will create a 3D model of your project and tweak it until every last detail is right. Sometimes we nail it on the first try, other times it is a long discussion that evolves over time. This process can take anywhere between 4-12 weeks depending on the size and complexity of the project.
Technical drawings
When the design is finished we produce a detailed set of measured plans and elevations to be verified by the person responsible for the installation of the cabinets.
3. Production and Delivery
Production
Once measurements of your design are verified and the plans are signed off, we can start building the cabinets. This stage takes about 8-10 weeks depending on our schedule.
Delivery
If you are in Seattle we can deliver the cabinets for you. If you live somewhere else we pack all of the cabinets into crates and ship them on a truck to your door. Transit time is 1-2 weeks depending on how remote your project is.
