Why did Euro Custom Cabinets change to Pacific Northwest Cabinetry?
Many people perceived our cabinetry as "Contemporary" and "Expensive". Our 2006 partnering with Wellborn Cabinet has allowed us to now offer an incredible variety of styles, finishes and hardware options to fit nearly every budget.

Why have you decided to partner with Wellborn?
Wellborn is a company that takes the same pride in craftsmanship that a small cabinet shop does. The durable finish, dovetail drawers, cushion close drawer slides and pullout shelves are just a few features that bring this cabinetry closest to full custom. We are proud to partner with a family owned, environmentally committed company that utilizes only USA parts and labor in its processes.

If I remodel my kitchen, how much of that investment can I expect to get back out if I sell my home?
Based on Remodeling Magazine? Cost vs. Value report for the Portland area for 2007, 96.6% of a Major kitchen remodel cost could be recouped.

What makes you a Green company?
We are dedicated to partnerships with suppliers committed to providing responsible forest management practices in all aspects of the manufacturing process. Wellborn is a leader in this area. In brief, here are a few facts to consider:

• In 2006, Wellborn recycled: 350,942 pounds of cardboard, 30,327 pounds of paper (vinyl), 33,060 gallons of solvents
• In 2006, Wellborn used approximately 52,000 tons of its own wood dust to generate 4.2 million kilowatt hours of clean electricity for the facility; thus eliminating the need to landfill dust.
• In 2006, Wellborn saved 310,810 MCF (thousand cubic feet) of natural gas, a non-renewable resource, by producing its own steam. Producing steam eliminates the need to consume natural gas for heating ovens in our paint operations or to heat our dry kilns.
• Since 1995, Wellborn has reduced boiler air emissions 50% lower than required by state and EPA regulations through the installation of "Best Available Control Technology."
• Developed and manage a 35 acre fresh water lake and deep water habitat for wildlife and recreation.

What makes Pacific Northwest Cabinetry different from other Cabinet Companies?

Three things!

• The cabinetry that we offer: Our cabinetry is manufactured from the log up in one location ensuring a finished product that is truly hand crafted by individuals that care.
• The expertise and facilities for local in-house customization, finishing and manufacturing to truly customize your project. We are experienced in many phases of remodeling and can answer questions you may have as well.
• The personalized service that you experience during the process. We have a concierge-style buying environment that ensures a pleasant experience in making all of your selections.

We frequently hear that in a world of less-than-professional contractors, it is a breath of fresh air to work with a company that is so personalized and reliable. The words of our clients say it best.

I already have a contractor; will you work with my contractor?
Yes. We are happy to work with licensed contractors. Most contractors enjoy working with us as we are reliable, ethical, and responsive.

I don't have a contractor--do I need one to remodel my kitchen?
Possibly. If you are planning structural changes or significant modification to your electrical, plumbing, gas, drywall, etc., then, you should probably have a contractor. If you are just replacing cabinets and countertops, you may not need one.

Do you do "tear out"?
Yes. We can help arrange this service and ensure that your cabinetry is donated or recycled at your request.

Can we tear out ourselves?
Yes. We will discuss how deep for you to tear out and what to do to prepare your space for installation.

Can we just order cabinetry and hire our own installer?
Yes. You have a choice of purchasing "Cabinetry only" or "Cabinetry with installation".

Do you offer countertops?
We have a few local countertop companies that we work closely with on a regular basis. These companies are reliable, ethical and can offer you many solutions including granite, solid surface, marble, and laminate. The main difference is that we put you in direct contact with these fabricators so you can save on mark-up.
