Go behind the scenes with Cabinets Core. Watch showroom tours, product talks with our partners MSI, Fabuwood, Nextar, plus real before-and-after kitchen transformations and client testimonials.
Inside the Work: Tours & Partner Conversations
A finished kitchen is only as good as the materials and the people behind it. In this series we walk through our showroom and sit down with the manufacturers we trust most — talking through how their products are made, how they hold up, and why we put them in our clients’ homes. Consider it the research phase, minus the legwork.
MSI: The Surfaces That Top Our Kitchens
MSI is one of the largest surface suppliers in North America, and a go-to source for the countertops we install — quartz, granite, porcelain, and natural stone. In this conversation we get into what separates a good slab from a great one: how engineered quartz is built, why it shrugs off stains and moisture without sealing, and how to match a surface to the way you actually live and cook. If you’re weighing countertop options, start here.
Nextar: Modern Frameless Cabinets & Closets
For homeowners drawn to a sleeker, contemporary look, Nextar’s European-style frameless cabinets open up a different design language — handleless fronts, clean lines, and smart storage that extends from the kitchen into closets and beyond. We talk through frameless versus framed construction, the modern finishes available, and who this style is really right for. If “modern and minimal” is your direction, this one’s for you.
Fabuwood: All-Wood Cabinetry, Up Close
Fabuwood builds the kind of all-wood, semi-custom cabinetry we love to work with — solid construction, clean shaker styling, and a price that leaves room in the budget for the rest of the kitchen. We walk through door styles, finishes, and the construction details that decide whether cabinets still look and function beautifully a decade in. A close look at where your cabinet dollars actually go.
Real Kitchens, Real Clients: Before & After
The product talks tell you what we build with. These tell you what it adds up to. Below are real Cabinets Core projects — the same kitchens before we started and after we finished — alongside the homeowners who lived through the process and came out the other side. No staged showrooms here. Just honest transformations and honest words about how it went.
From a Kitchen Leak to a Dream Home
What started as a kitchen leak in their 1953 Magnolia mid-century turned into the remodel John and Holly — “Jolly” — had always wanted. After spotting a Cabinets Core truck on I-5 and calling the next day, they teamed up with Nick from Cabinets Core and Masterpiece Construction Remodeling for a kitchen and laundry transformation that grew (because you only want to do this once) into natural hardwood cabinets, quartz countertops, heated tile floors, a new island that’s become the social heart of the home, a tankless water heater, and a whole-home filtration system they can’t stop raving about. Their verdict, pinching themselves daily: why didn’t we do this earlier?
Bellevue Full-Home Remodel: One Family’s Dream Transformation
After more than twenty years in their Bellevue home, Constantine and Elena loved the house but never stopped noticing what didn’t work — so Nick from Cabinets Core, with Masterpiece Construction Remodeling, gave them a full transformation. Walls between the kitchen and dining room came down, a custom hands-free kitchen bin and a long-troublesome fireplace were finally solved, soundproofing reshaped the living room, and a restain of the original yellow hardwood changed the entire feel of the home. The result, in their own words, is a true dream house — modern, warm, and exactly what they’d always wanted.
