Question 1

What makes your custom kitchen cabinets in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens different?

Accepted Answer

Every project starts with a free in-home consultation across Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and the wider New York area. Our custom kitchen cabinetry, from classic shaker and modern slim shaker to flat-panel, is designed by us and built to our specifications by vetted millwork suppliers using FSC-certified hardwoods, low-VOC finishes, and European hardware, so you get a true one-of-a-kind kitchen that fits your space exactly.

Question 2

Do you build shaker and slim shaker cabinet doors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Shaker and slim shaker are two of our most-requested door styles for custom kitchen cabinets in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. Traditional shaker uses a wider 2.25" rail and stile for a timeless look, while slim shaker uses a narrower ~1.5" frame for a cleaner, more modern profile, both available in painted, stained, or natural finishes.

Question 3

How much do custom kitchen cabinets in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing for our custom cabinetry solutions in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens typically runs $350 per linear foot for full kitchens and vanities (shaker, slim shaker, or flat-panel), $225/lf for base cabinets, and $125/lf for wall cabinets. A typical NYC kitchen ranges between $8,000 and $25,000+ depending on size, materials, and finishes.

Question 4

How long does a custom kitchen cabinetry project take in NYC?

Accepted Answer

Most projects take 4–6 weeks from design approval to installation: 1–2 weeks for design and material selection, 2–3 weeks of fabrication by our millwork suppliers, and 3–7 days for installation in your Brooklyn, Manhattan, or Queens home. We provide a clear timeline up front and keep you updated at every stage.

Question 5

Do you handle both kitchens and bathroom vanities?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many clients who renovate bathrooms also upgrade their kitchens with our custom cabinetry solutions in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. We design both as a coordinated package, matching shaker, slim shaker, or flat-panel doors, so finishes, hardware, and woodwork stay consistent across your home.

Question 6

Where do you source your materials?

Accepted Answer

We source FSC-certified hardwoods (white oak, walnut, maple, cherry) from regional mills in the Northeast, formaldehyde-free plywood cores from North American manufacturers, and stone slabs hand-selected from NYC-area yards in Brooklyn and Queens. Hardware comes from Blum and Hettich, and finishes are low-VOC conversion varnishes, all chosen for durability, sustainability, and long-term performance in NYC homes.

Question 7

What does the fabrication timeline look like week by week?

Accepted Answer

Week 1–2: design, material selection, and shop drawings. Week 3: CNC cutting of cabinet boxes and door components by our vetted millwork suppliers, to our specifications. Week 4: assembly, sanding, and joinery. Week 5: spray finishing, drying, and final QC inspection. Week 6: delivery and installation in your Brooklyn, Manhattan, or Queens home. Most kitchens are complete 4–6 weeks from approved drawings.

Question 8

Do you provide Certificates of Insurance (COIs) for condo and co-op buildings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We carry general liability, workers' comp, and umbrella coverage and routinely issue building-specific COIs naming the building, managing agent, and board as additional insureds. We also handle alteration agreements, contractor registrations, and any building-required documentation across NYC condos and co-ops, typically turned around within 48 hours of request.

Question 9

How do you handle building noise rules and freight elevator scheduling?

Accepted Answer

We schedule all loud work (drilling, sawing, anchoring) within your building's permitted hours, typically 9 AM to 5 PM weekdays, and coordinate freight elevator reservations directly with your super or managing agent. Quiet finish work (hardware, alignment, touch-ups) is done outside loud-work hours so we keep neighbors happy and stay on schedule.

Question 10

Do you have a showroom I can visit?

Accepted Answer

No. Green Cabinets NY is appointment-based, with no public showroom or storefront. Instead, the free in-home consultation comes to you: we bring door and finish samples to your home and measure the room in person.

Question 11

Do you work with architects, designers, and developers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We design, specify, and install custom cabinetry for homeowners, architects, and developers across Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens, and we issue building-specific COIs for condo and co-op boards, typically within 48 hours.

Question 12

Which Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens neighborhoods do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We work throughout Brooklyn (Park Slope, Williamsburg, DUMBO, Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens, Bushwick), across Manhattan (Tribeca, SoHo, West Village, Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Harlem), and Queens (Long Island City, Astoria, Forest Hills), plus the greater NYC metro area.
