You can get high-quality custom cabinets right here in Green Bay without ordering inferior factory cabinets. Elegant Cabinets produces exceptional custom cabinetry using superior materials made by our experienced craftsman. We only build with high-end material for our cabinets so each customer receives a solid, long lasting order they’ll be pleased with for years to come. We NEVER use cheap particle board that chips on the edges or flakey laminate that bubbles and warps. Taking it a step further, as a standard practice we use soft close door hinges and drawer tracks. We don’t want you to hear that ugly thud when you close a door or drawer in your new elegant kitchen.
When you get your hands on the final product you’ll experience why we’re called Elegant Cabinets. We want you to feel like you own an elegant kitchen.
You can play a part in Elegant Cabinets becoming Best of the Bay once again. We’ve won in 2012 and 2013 and it’s time to put our name out there again for 2017.
We can’t do it without you, though! If you’ve been a client of ours or you know the quality of our work all you have to do is go to Best of the Bay and follow the steps to vote for us. After you’ve filled in your info you can click on the Personal & Professional Services link. Once you arrive there it’ll give you many options to chose from for casting your vote. We can be found under Best Commercial Builder. You’ll also need to vote on twenty businesses to officially cast your vote.
Elegant Cabinets thanks you in advance. Good luck to all of the other businesses as well.
We love when a client gives us a raving review likes Leslie’s. It makes us feel good. In fact, it makes us feel like every second we’ve put into that project was worth it and then some. As AJ once mentioned in our vlog, when a client feels good about what we’ve made, it makes us feel good too. When a client isn’t satisfied (which is rare) we won’t finish the project until they are pleased. It’s a policy of ours to walk away from every project with a happy client.
I’m about to get philosophical here.
When you spend time building custom cabinets week in and week out you learn something that you may not have in a previous project. There may be a small detail we’ve never had to apply before or a detail that’s rare for a cabinetry project. Often, we have very unique, artsy projects that require us to think way outside of the box and we really like that. This stretches us and makes our crew of craftsmen that much better. It also provides a sense of adventure during the production process which keeps everyone inspired.
A big part of what makes us good is the diversity of our projects combined with our collective skills and attention to quality. Everything just coalesces together to create something awesome for each custom cabinet project we work on. But when it really comes down to the real reason we’re so good, our clients hold the cards. We are nothing without our clients and we are thankful for each and every one of them. They keep us building, they keep us installing, and they keep us inspired. We greatly appreciate each and every client we have. If we created your cabinets or you’re thinking about hiring us to do so, Thank you!
This week we’re joined by our client – and very talented photographer – Jenny Longlais for the Longlais Project. We’re starting our installation process by putting in the kitchen and mudroom cabinets. Watch this week’s video to see our progress and to hear what Jenny has to say about the whole process.
“It’s nice working with a crew of guys that know what they’re doing.” Jenny Longlais
As cabinet builders, it’s an honor hearing our clients say things like that.
If you have questions about this project or any other home renovation project, feel free to send them to us. We’d love to answer them.
In this vlog episode 005, AJ gives us an overview of how the custom cabinet doors are made.
Every part of what we do at Elegant Cabinets is based on a detailed drawing which we bring to life. Cabinet doors are no exception. Each door is cut and assembled based on very specific dimensions which will match up to the custom cabinets they’re going to be affixed to. It’s certainly not a complex process by any means but it does demand great attention to detail.
If you have any questions about this project or a project you’re considering starting, please email us any questions you may have and we’d be glad to answer them.
Thanks for watching and have an awesome day! -Corey Steiner

If you’re current countertops and cabinets weren’t made from superior materials or maintained well over the years you’re probably ready for a fresh clean look. If you’re not convinced, here are 7 Signs That It’s Time For New Cabinets!
If you’re expanding or rearranging your kitchen it may be easier to just plan for new cabinetry. Many times the same cabinets can’t be reused after a renovation like this so it’s better to plan for a whole new look.
If someone in your home – or a previous owner – were a smoker it may have added that gross yellowish film to all of the surfaces in your kitchen. Any smoke damage will ruin your cabinetry, robbing it of a clean look.
Your countertops are simply outdated. If your home hasn’t had any cosmetic updates in the last twenty years chances are it looks it’s age.
You’re selling your home and want to increase its value. This is a big one! Most home buyers want a house with a great kitchen. If yours is old or falling apart it’s going to discourage prospective buyers from moving forward with the sale.
If your current countertops are warped, have burns on them, cracks along the surfaces or they’re pealing, it is time for new countertops. If you’re going to rip out your old countertops you may want to resurface your current cabinets to make them “like new” or go with a whole new look structurally.
If you need to accommodate a family member in a wheelchair you will want to install lower countertops and lower island top.
If you have outdated appliances, an old sink, or are thinking about installing new lighting, it may be time to update those old cabinets as well.
I encourage you to consider whether or not it’s time to update that old kitchen.

In the pilot episode of our video blog (vlog) we were going for a humorous approach to grab viewers but that approach didn’t seem to convey our genuine expertise. I took stock of what was working and what NEEDED to change. I like certain elements of it but it wasn’t something I’d want to subscribe to myself. Then it dawned on, what we have to offer is very PBS-like so why not take a few cues from one of my favorite shows of all time, Ask This Old House.
That’s when the vlog really began to evolve into what is it today. It’ll continue to evolve as we explore the creative possibilities of vlogging.
Here’s the million dollar question, Why do we vlog at all? It’s hard to fit any sort of shooting schedule around the constant ebb and flow to custom cabinet orders and installations. Sure, it’s very challenging yet incredibly rewarding at the same time. Which brings me to the “Why”.
There are three very specific reasons why we produce video content.
1. To establish a solid bond with our current and potential clients. What I mean when I say that is we highlight and sort of celebrate our clients through our videos. Each video we’ve done so far for our vlog is about a client project we’ve worked on. It gives that client and their community a look into the development of their products before the install. I like to think of it like a restaurant where you can see your food being made. It makes you feel better about what you’re putting into your body. A similar principle is applied here. My favorite part of this is getting to help build our clients excitement about the new cabinetry. I should note that we don’t make videos for each client but more specifically clients with unique project pieces.
2. It helps us show the world of potential clients that we are an expert in what we do. It’s important to us that the world sees that we don’t just talk the talk but we also walk the walk. Dustin does not allow anything to leave our shop unless it is perfect. That’s an incredible standard to have but it’s upheld time after time.
“As a perfectionist, if I wouldn’t put it into my own kitchen I wouldn’t let it leave our shop.” – Dustin Devroy
3. We create videos to inspire. Whether you’re thinking about renovating your kitchen or your bathroom, we want to inspire you to expand your parameters of creative thinking. Maybe something we’ve made in the past is a great catalyst for an idea that you have which takes it a step further. Maybe your unique piece will inspire a video which will inspire someone down the road.
We hope that you enjoy our videos and want to know what you think would make them even better. Email us your creative thoughts here and we’ll get back to.
Thanks for reading and have an awesome day! -Corey Steiner

In this week’s episode, AJ shares a brief overview of the progress of the kitchen island since we’ve last seen it. It’s been prepped for final sanding where it’ll then be followed with priming and painting. Dustin gives us a constructive tour of how the range hood is being assembled for the Longlais Project.
In this week’s video, AJ invites us to send in our questions about the Longlais Project or any other home renovation project. We encourage our viewers to send in their cabinetry or home renovation questions. Whether it’s about the Longlais Project or a project you’re thinking about working on, send your questions to us and if we choose yours for an upcoming vlog, we’ll send you a $10 Starbucks gift card!
One of our current jobs is the Longlais Project which includes around forty to forty-five custom pieces made from paint grade maple.
AJ opens the video (AKA vlog) with his signature, “We’re making cabinets!” because, well, that’s exactly what we’re doing. We’re making cabinets.
The focal point of this project is the kitchen island, which AJ estimates will weigh around 3000 lbs once it’s installed and complete.
So far on this project, AJ and the crew have spent about sixteen man hours bringing the island together. This includes cutting the exact pieces down from planks and sheets of paint grade maple, MDF, and poplar. The body of the island has been assembled, the face frame has been created and attached, and the next steps will be to sand, prime, paint, and prep for preassembly install.
As part of our little tour of the Longlais kitchen island, AJ shares an interesting factoid about kitchen islands dating back to the Colonial era. It’s a bit of info that most viewers will find interesting.
AJ addresses a few questions sent to us by the Longlais family pertaining to cabinet building.
Longlais: What is the most time-consuming part of the process after the plans are finalized?
AJ: Once the finalized plans come into the shop, will be drawing it up and making parts lists and then double checking the part lists to make sure everything is correct before we start to build it.
Longlais: What part of the cabinet making process do you enjoy the most?
AJ: The final result when you can actually see the clients face and everything comes together. And that makes them happy and that makes me kind of happy as well.
Longlais: Do you expect your customers to have you over for dinner once the project is complete?
AJ: I don’t expect it but if they’re going to do it, I like ribeye!
We encourage our viewers to send in their cabinetry or home renovation questions. Whether it’s about the Longlais Project or a project you’re thinking about working on, send your questions to us and if we choose yours for an upcoming vlog, we’ll send you a $10 Starbucks gift card!
