Custom Cabinetry
When quality matters, we deliver. Chetwode collaborates with its customers to create a kitchen that is an extension of their individuality and lifestyle. We design, build, finish, and install cabinetry that is made to order, with your involvement every step of the way. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Each project and set of designed and finished pieces are as unique as you are.
Why Custom?
The most stunning kitchens are not one-size-fits-all. They do not come out of a box or off an assembly line. An experienced cabinetmaker works closely with you to design, build, finish, and install cabinetry that showcases your personal tastes and fits the way you and your family live. A customized design not only makes a kitchen more beautiful, but also more efficient. Old world craftsmanship is blended with the most modern technology.

Specs
Little details matter – like measurements!
Typical wall cabinets are 12” deep, not deep enough for full size dinner plates. Our wall cabinets are 13” deep for that purpose and are are 37” high not the typical 36”.
Finishes
The outside is as important as the inside!
While something may look pretty in pictures, it may not be safe for your family. Something called “furniture grade material” is just another name for particle board which emits harmful chemicals. Our finishes are 100% safe and formaldehyde-free.
Cabinetry Levels
What’s in a name isn’t always telling the whole story when it comes to quality levels of cabinetry.
There are four levels:
The standard big box or Express quality.
The semi-custom, which is the above level, but “dressed up”
Custom cabinetry
“Premium” as defined by the AIA
Our cabinetry is referred to as being Custom but meets ALL the standards of Premium as defined by the AIA.
Chetwode is Proudly made in the USA.
““Having experienced a less than satisfactory project in our family room by another company, we were referred to Mike by a co-worker to help us with our new kitchen. Mike designed and built our beautiful kitchen that looks as good today is it did when installed 8 plus years ago. We went back to Mike a couple of years later for an entertainment center and for the third time when we decided to re-model our Master Bathroom.
We have recommended Mike to friends who have used him for a number of projects and will continue to do so. It’s really a pleasure to work with someone that cares about all aspects of the project from beginning to end.””
Formaldehyde Free
Chetwode Cabinetry has been always been proudly constructed with formaldehyde-free materials. Emanating from resins and adhesives used in manufacturing, formaldehyde is found in plastics, particle board, plywood, medium-density fiberboard, and other materials often used in pre-made or factory-made cabinetry and furniture. The young and old are particularly susceptible to its harmful effects.
““We are so happy with our kitchen. Four years later, it still feels new and the pleasure it offers hasn’t faded in the least. Working with Mike Pagett was a great experience from start to finish. He incorporated design elements that we wanted and steered us in the right direction with his own experience and expertise. The cabinetry is beautiful, functional and the attention to the finishing details makes all the difference to having a truly beautiful kitchen versus a merely satisfactory one. Without reservation, I recommend Mike, his team and CHETWODE cabinetry. In fact, we’re in the process of rebuilding our vacation home in NH and we have convinced Mike to tag along to design and build that kitchen for us!”
