Discover what makes TrueGrain custom cabinetry a cut above the rest. Our craftsmanship and attention to detail allow us to stand behind our workmanship for the life of your cabinetry. John and his super friendly & totally pro crew (which included his shop teacher from high school!) I had a great experience with John/TrueGrain.
I moved into a new home and wanted to extend the existing (new) kitchen cabinets all the way up to the ceiling. I first contacted the original cabinetry installers but decided against using. TrueGrain just finished my custom entertainment center for my media room. AMAZING! They delivered the most gorgeous product!

We always begin with the end in full view. Each kitchen or bathroom project gets a full set of drawings for our client to review and make any necessary changes. Photo-realistic renderings allow our customers to see the final product in their home before they begin. TrueGrain Cabinetry utilizes only the highest quality materials and components for our projects.
When remodeling we often start with a vague desire to improve the look and functionality of our home. But dreams can be unclear and fuzzy, and communicating that fuzzy idea to a contractor can be frustrating for both parties. Unfortunately, most of us have a limited amount of money to spend on a remodel.

I first contacted the original cabinetry installers but decided against using them because they seemed very unreliable in delivering what they promised; it doesn't matter whether it's something as simple as returning a phone call or providing a written estimate in the timeline that was promised, when there is no follow through that's a big red flag for me.I came across TrueGrain on Yelp, as I generally prefer to support local small businesses.

Once in a while Yelp truly delivers. TrueGrain is one of those places.
Just like others, I was going to install Ikea cabinets but was running into cabinet installers who seemed not to walk the talk. I worked in the furniture business and can detect BS. John on the first call did not set off any alarms. I went to his shop and got the design started. Since the design is all via computer so you can make a few tweaks over the phone unless he wants you to come to the shop to talk materials and fit/finish. One interesting aspect was that John actually talked me into spending LESS than I was planning

I wish I had more stars to give to True Grain Cabinets and John McGinnis who runs this highly professional company. I had used a contractor to put in counters and tile and he messed things up terribly. Luckily, I found True Grain. John responded to my request immediately over text and then came to my house at exactly the time he said he would be there. Right then and there, I knew I had someone who had pride in his business. I did not have a contractor so John worked with me to find a tile professional (Peter Loya of PAL Tile) and then he helped me time everything so that were able to

It has been a wonderful experience working with John, TrueGrain. From the start, John has been a man of his word. He is professional, extremely talented, and very responsive to all emails with great communication,. John and his crew made a large custom bookcase and it came out beautifully. The quality of work was exceptional - such gorgeous work. He provided me with options of wood and color and other various recommendations. He has a good artistic eye trying to incorporate color and style with the rest of the house. He completed the bookcase sooner than expected, and the safe delivery and installation

John was always on time, very easy to work with and extremely talented. He replaced all of my dated cabinet doors and drawers with shaker cabinets and self closing drawers. He also built another row of cabinets (above the existing cabinets) to the ceiling as a focal point and changed the whole look of the kitchen. It looks custom and absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t be happier with the result.

Incredible quality and such talented carpenters. I wish I could post images of the work they did. We were so lucky to have found them. I highly recommend this group. I especially appreciate John’s ability to help us visualize the final result using his particular graphics and engineering software. He made it fit so perfectly even in our vintage 1958 'not square anywhere' old house.

John and his team made us a beautiful "Furniture Grade" cabinet for our master bedroom. The cabinet had to fit inside a recess in our wall, and had to be a perfect fit. This was not an easy design/build project. John and his team made this cabinet exactly the way we wanted it to be. Zack and Alex did a flawless installation, and we hired Carlos to complete the finish, on-site, in white lacquer. The results were nothing short of amazing. Alex just installed the drawer and door hardware and we could not be happier with the results. We plan to work with John and his team at TrueGrain

True Grain is fabulous!!! John is the consummate professional. He is so easy to work with, communicates clearly and responds quickly, and gets the job done! We're thrilled with the cabinets he built for us, but even more importantly, we were impressed with his level of customer service. No matter the question, John had a quick answer and stood by his product to make sure it was right. You couldn't ask for more. We'll be sure to call upon True Grain again if and when we have cabinet needs in the future. Thanks again, John for making our project run smoothly and getting the job

Perfect work!! You'd never know it was redone. John answered all my questions over the phone and then sent Spenser and another worker over to retrofit some cabinetry. They arrived on time, worked neatly and efficiently and charged a very fair price. John helped me save $ by suggesting a way to get the desired results that was much less expensive. True Grain=Truly Great.

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have found John at TrueGrain to completely transform our kitchen! We were on a pretty strict budget and so we originally were thinking to buy/install an Ikea kitchen, but I really didn't like the look of the Ikea cabinets. Then, we were going to buy Ikea boxes and have custom fronts made by Semi Handmade. But, Semi Handmade was going to take 8-10 weeks and we didn't have that kind of time. Plus, we didn't realize how expensive it would be to install Ikea cabinets! All of the installation quotes we received were astronomical, so any deal

Very fair and professional work. This is high-end quality at a reasonable cost. John is willing to work with you from design to completion. During the design stage he is able to give you options so that the cost of your project will match your budget. The work he did for me was fast and exactly what I wanted for a price I couldn't say no to. I would recommend him to anyone.
