KITCHEN CABINETS
How to Choose the Right Cabinetry for Your Remodel

Cabinetry is one of the most important decisions in any kitchen remodel. It affects how your kitchen looks, how much storage you have, how efficiently the space functions, and how comfortably your family uses the room every day.

At RPK Construction, we help homeowners throughout Bucks County, Philadelphia, and surrounding communities compare cabinet styles, construction options, finishes, storage features, and price points as part of the complete kitchen remodeling process.

WHY CABINETRY MATTERS
More Than Just Looks, It Impacts Every Part of Your Kitchen

A beautiful cabinet door will not solve an inefficient layout. Likewise, choosing cabinets solely based on price can sometimes result in missed opportunities for better storage or functionality

The right cabinetry should support the way you cook, gather, store everyday items, and move throughout the kitchen.

If you are planning a complete renovation, cabinetry should be considered as part of the overall design rather than as an isolated product selection. Learn more about RPK Construction’s

STOCK, SEMI-CUSTOM, OR MADE-TO-ORDER CABINETS
Find the Right Level of Cabinetry for Your Home

There is no single option that is right for every homeowner. The best choice depends on your layout, budget, storage needs, design goals, and how much flexibility your project requires.

Stock Cabinetry

Best for: Straightforward layouts, defined budgets, and kitchens where standard cabinet dimensions work well. Stock cabinetry is manufactured in established sizes, styles, and finishes. It can provide strong value when extensive customization isn’t necessary.

Semi-Custom Cabinetry

Best for: Kitchens requiring greater flexibility in sizing, finishes, storage features, or configurations. Semi-custom cabinetry provides more opportunities to personalize the kitchen while still working within an established cabinetry system.

Premium Made-to-Order Cabinetry

Best for: Highly personalized kitchens, unusual dimensions, specialized storage needs, and designs requiring greater flexibility. Made-to-order cabinetry provides broader opportunities for personalization, specialized configurations, and upgraded finishes.

CABINET CONSTRUCTION & MATERIALS
What’s Inside the Cabinet Matters, Too

Cabinet quality involves more than the appearance of the door.

Construction materials can affect durability, performance, finish quality, and how the cabinetry performs over time.

Plywood

Plywood is commonly used for cabinet boxes and shelving because of its strength, dimensional stability, and resistance to warping.

Solid Wood

Frequently used for cabinet frames, doors, drawer fronts, and other visible components. Different wood species create different grain patterns, colors, and finishing characteristics.

MDF

Medium-density fiberboard provides a smooth, consistent surface and is commonly used in painted cabinetry and certain door styles.

Different cabinet lines use different combinations of materials and construction methods. Rather than relying on a single specification, homeowners should compare the overall cabinet construction, warranty, design flexibility, and how well the product fits the intended use of the kitchen.

CHOOSING YOUR CABINET DOOR STYLE
Find a Cabinet Door Style That Feels Like Home

Cabinet doors and finishes have a major influence on the personality of the kitchen.

Shaker Cabinets

Shaker cabinetry features clean lines and a recessed center panel, making it versatile enough for traditional, transitional, and contemporary kitchens.

Slab or Flat-Panel Cabinets

Flat-panel doors provide a clean, streamlined appearance that works especially well in contemporary and modern kitchen designs.

Glass-Front Cabinets

Glass-front cabinets can break up large areas of solid cabinetry and create opportunities to display glassware, dishes, or decorative pieces.

Decorative & Traditional Door Styles

More detailed door profiles can bring architectural character to traditional and transitional kitchens.

CHOOSING CABINET COLORS & FINISHES
Cabinet Color Can Completely Change the Mood of a Kitchen

White and neutral cabinetry can create a bright, timeless backdrop. Natural wood tones introduce warmth and texture, while deeper colors can create contrast and personality.

Two-tone kitchens can also introduce a second finish through an island, pantry, beverage station, or other built-in feature.

One major advantage of visiting the RPK Design Center is the ability to see these finishes in person and compare them directly with countertop, flooring, hardware, sink, and faucet selections.

This is another reason seeing cabinetry in person matters.

Lighting and surrounding materials can dramatically affect how a cabinet color or finish appears. Comparing cabinet samples with countertops, hardware, flooring, and fixtures can help you understand how the entire kitchen will work together.

DESIGNED TO WORK BEAUTIFULLY
Storage Features That Make a Kitchen Work Better

The most successful kitchens don’t simply have more cabinets. They have storage designed around how the household actually uses the space.

Deep Drawers

Make pots, pans, and larger kitchen items easier to access.

Pull-Out Shelves

Make deeper cabinets easier to organize and use.

Waste Pull-Outs

Keep bins concealed while maintaining convenient access.

Corner Solutions

Make better use of traditionally difficult corner spaces.

Pantry Storage

Create dedicated space for food, small appliances, and everyday essentials.

Drawer Organizers

Create dedicated places for utensils and frequently used items.

Appliance Garages

Keep selected countertop appliances accessible without leaving everything on display.

Vertical Storage

Organize baking sheets, cutting boards, trays, and serving pieces.

During kitchen planning, RPK looks at what homeowners currently struggle to store and where clutter tends to accumulate. That often tells us more about the cabinetry a kitchen needs than simply counting the cabinets already in the room.

PLAN WITH CONFIDENCE
Cabinetry Planning Around Your Kitchen Layout

Cabinet selections shouldn’t be made independently of the overall kitchen design. For kitchens being converted to an open-concept layout, cabinetry planning may also depend on structural modifications.

Planning an Open-Concept Kitchen?

If your cabinetry plan depends on removing a wall or changing the existing layout, RPK’s structural expertise allows those changes to be evaluated as part of the complete renovation.

We plan around your appliances, plumbing, and electrical.

We design for the way you cook, store, and live in your kitchen.

We coordinate cabinetry with countertops, flooring, fixtures, and more.

We bring it all together for a kitchen that works beautifully.

BRINGING THE WHOLE KITCHEN TOGETHER
Coordinating Cabinets With the Rest of Your Kitchen

Cabinetry is one piece of a much larger design.

The best results come from considering how all of the materials and finishes will work together.

Countertops

Cabinet color and style can influence which countertop materials and patterns work best within the finished kitchen.

Flooring

Floor color, texture, and material should complement the cabinetry while also meeting the durability needs of an active kitchen.

Hardware & Fixtures

Cabinet pulls, knobs, sinks, faucets, and lighting provide opportunities to add personality and connect the different finishes throughout the kitchen.

See Your Kitchen Come Together Before Construction Begins

Cabinet photographs can provide inspiration, but seeing the actual doors, finishes, materials, and details in person makes the selection process much easier.

At the RPK Kitchen Design Center, homeowners can see all four cabinetry lines currently offered by RPK and compare them alongside other materials that will eventually share the same room.

Instead of making major remodeling decisions from disconnected samples and online photographs, you can begin seeing how your complete kitchen design will come together.

How RPK Helps You Choose the Right Cabinets

Cabinet selection should start with understanding how you want your kitchen to function.

The goal isn’t simply to fill the room with cabinetry. It’s to create storage and workspace that make the entire kitchen easier and more enjoyable to use.

Used this company for basement reinforcements, HVAC updates, and reparging part of my basement. Cannot say enough good things about Robert and his team. They communicate well, show up on time, and do exactly what they say in terms of work completed in the estimate. Will hire again for future work.

Had a really good experience with Kamil, Viktor, and Vova. Kamil did an excellent job envisioning what we were looking for, communicating and managing along the way without needing oversight, and in the end we are very happy with how it turned out. The work seemed very thought out. Details to make the space better weren't overly negotiated, they just happened. I had no expectation they would level the floor and yet thats what I received. I've had experiences with other contractors that if it wasnt word for word in the quote then forget about it. I dont expect they were the cheapest option, but we did get quotes that were much higher. Ultimately they absorbed changes without fuss and were passionate about making sure we enjoyed the finished product, which we do.

We recently had a 1st floor renovation done at our home, which included the removal of a load-bearing wall between the living room and kitchen/adding new supports, replacing floors, updating stairs, replacing a window with a sliding door, and painting. We worked closely with both Robert and Bart throughout the process. With a project this large, we had our concerns, but Robert and Bart walked us through the plan and once the project started, our minds were put at ease. With a baby at home, one of our main concerns was making sure the environment would remain safe for us all. The amount of preparation the team did to protect all of our belongings - and HVAC system - from construction dust was above and beyond our expectations. We've had large constructions jobs done in the past, and this is our new baseline. At the end of the project, we could immediately relax and settle in. There was no frantic cleaning of every surface. They handled it all! We are so happy we went with RPK for this project due to both the clear communication throughout the process and how beautiful it all turned out. The level of detail that went into each element was much appreciated, and they even fixed a few small things from our DYI projects without us even mentioning them. Just a few weeks later - we are having them back out to give us a quote for a concrete project we have coming up. Highly recommend.

BASEMENT STRUCTURAL CORRECTION! I'm very happy with the work that was done from RPK. I'd totally use them again! I recently moved into a house and then noticed that my first floor felt a bit sloped and bouncy. Upon looking at the structure in the basement, you could see that the main support beam was visually bending and the 3 original lally-column posts were taking a beating! They were deteriorating and bulging from the weight above. You should be able to see this depicted in the included pictures. In any event, I did some research online to see who could help fix this issue. I found a few companies that seemed to advertise this (including RPK). However, RPK had quite a few reviews on this sort of work. As if they specialize in this sort of thing. I reached out to all 3 (maybe even 4 companies). The first and only company that responded was RPK. One other company responded with an automated message (boo!). RPK contacted me right away and scheduled for Robert (the owner of the company) to come on out and take a look. Robert was all business, obviously very knowledgable and so not the salesman type. I really appreciated that. We ran through some options to help correct the issue. He even mentioned us applying for a permit through the township to get the work done properly (if I wanted to go that route). That showed me that he was confident with his work. He gave me the number to a Structural Engineer (Andrew Moore) who was also great and affordable. It took a little bit of time to finally get to doing the actual job; between having the engineer come out, getting the permit, and me deciding how in depth I wanted to get for the work being done (which option I wanted to go with). Robert checked in every so often to see if I had any questions to help with me making my final decisions. He was never annoyed or pushy. I now finally just got the work done. The crew was great! I had a couple of great foremen (Jared and Bart). They were all very nice guys. In fact, we all probably talked a bit too much. Lol. But that was cool. The crew was very respectful of my home. Jared even went a bit beyond what we had listed in the scope of the work. I asked him if we could maybe clean up the original (old and beat up) red posts that were there. They were chipping away and shedding. He left at some point to get what he needed to do so. When I came down to the basement at the end, I was pleasantly surprised! He cleaned up the old posts and then even painted them black to match the new 4 posts that were installed. The work looks beautiful now and it's diesel! Thank you Jared! I now have full confidence with having my big Italian family gathering in the kitchen above. Lastly, my upstairs floor now feels so much better. It slopes less and it just feels more solid, overall! I am very pleased with the project. The experience was great and I would totally use RPK again for any future projects. Definitely give them a go!

A pleasure to work with, very professional. The job was completed one time and exactly as described. Looking forward to working with them on future projects.

Just had RPK work on various projects at our house including covering new ductwork and fixing areas where we had radiators removed. Could not have had a better experience. The office was readily available to answer any questions we had. Peter, Vasil and Kamil made sure the job was done both timely and professionally. The finished work came out looking better than we could have expected. If I could give them more than five stars I would. This is the second project they’ve helped us with. Could not recommend RPK higher.

RPK was wonderful to work with. They were so fast on both of my projects when they got here. The tile project is better than I thought it would be. They added tile that I thought was impossible to add and fixed up my broken woodwork which they didn’t need to do. The transition is so smooth to my hardwood (Their colour match skills are good). Please see pictures. The other project was replacing a ceiling that had rotted and was full of all manner of nasty things. It is now lovely. They added some quarter trim and insulation and it may be cleaner than I made it for them to start. I would like to add that they were very respectful of my kids being around and treated our space to good language and clean work habits. This was wonderful since my homeschool kids were around the house for the whole project. This is an A+ company in my books.

My recent experience with RPK Construction has been exceptionally positive. This company’s work is by far the best that I have had done in my 35 years as a homeowner. The owner, Kamil, was highly recommended by my Fairmount neighbors. The experience actually exceeded my high expectations. I am so impressed by Kamil’s knowledge, expertise, reliability, accessibility, accountability and ethics. Boris is a highly skilled craftsman who does exquisite work - simply flawless kitchen renovation and brick patio/drainpipe work. Marko is great also, facilitating efficiency in his important role as support person. I have such gratitude for the stress-free and rewarding experience I have had with RPK Construction and look forward to using them for all future needs.

I hired RPK after I had a pipe burst that destroyed 1 ceiling, my entire downstairs floor, lower walls, kitchen cabinets, etc. They came out immediately and turned around the estimate in 24 hours and we contracted shortly thereafter. They were able to start work immediately and complete the entire project in 2.5 weeks. They were respectful, priced fairly and did beautiful work. I will use them again on any future home projects and strongly recommend.

Working with RPK Construction has been a fantastic experience from start to finish. Every item on our estimate was completed with precision, detail and care. The crew worked hard and efficiently and consistently went above and beyond our expectations. Our project manager David was always available to answer our questions, explained all work clearly and offered solutions to any changes that arose during the job. RPK makes it easy to follow the work, all paper work is well organized and easy to see where you at in the job. We are grateful to have found this company. Their work was excellent, the communication was clear and organized, the price was fair and every one we worked with from start to finish was talented at their job and respectful of our home. We look forward to working with RPK in the future. Thank you Robert, David, Bart, Johnny, Norbert and all the rest of the crew!

We have a 150-year-old row home in Philly and needed to get our joists sistered for structural stability. RPK team was super responsive through the whole process, got the project done faster than anticipated, and left the house totally spotless even during a week when the ground outside was covered in mud and slush. I only met the team briefly when I arrived home from work one night but they were very kind! They even brought in a package on our doorstep and undoubtedly saved it from the very active porch pirates in our area. I appreciate the great level of care they took with the project and our home and we will absolutely be return customers.

We discovered that the joists in our attic were detached from the header joist, and we also had a cracked stud in our kitchen that needed support. Robert from RPK Construction proposed attaching an additional joist properly connected to the header joist, with access through the master bedroom ceiling and attic. Kamil, our project manager, walked through the day prior to assess materials and equipment needed. He coordinated everything well, was responsive, and answered our questions & concerns. The crew prepared the path and laid protective covering on floors and stairs before starting, which we very much appreciated! Victor and Vova were highly skilled craftsmen who did excellent work. They were meticulous, kept the job site clean, and arrived on time each day. They ensured we could still sleep in the bedroom despite the ongoing work. Before closing up the attic drywall, we inspected everything to confirm we were satisfied. Yaroslav and Roman came the final day to return furniture to place and ensure everything was cleaned up. We are really happy (and feel safer!) with the work by RPK Construction & would not hesitate contacting them again for any other house projects.

RPK Construction is excellent- I’ve already recommended them to several friends. I spoke to & received estimates from five contractors for a bathroom renovation and Robert stood out for his expertise, communication skills and staffing infrastructure. They exceeded my expectations. The work was done efficiently, expertly and with care, and there was clear and consistent communication around every aspect of the job- not just the work itself but also ordering and billing. Really a top notch team and I would highly recommend RPK Construction. They were a pleasure to work with and we love the new bathroom.

I hired RPK construction to perform structural assessment and repairs on my home, resulting from fairly severe water damage in a location where a roof line met a wall. The section had to be rebuilt and floor joists above sistered. As part of the rebuild, I had my original sliding glass door replaced with a double-hung Okna window. Further, in the process of performing the job, Robert's team discovered that the entire strip of roof along the wall had to be replaced and properly flashed. They did this at no additional charge. They also upgraded some insulation in an adjacent overhang from R13 to R49 per my request while performing the work. I initially received quotes from 3 contractors, all with excellent online reviews. From the start, Robert was by far the best with timely communication, and this continued through the project duration. The work was performed very efficiently and my family is highly satisfied with the finished product - the water damage issues that had stressed us for the last few years are but a distant memory; the new space is a pleasure to spend time in. Robert's team members were all extremely pleasant and respectful, and left the work site clean and organized. I highly recommend this contractor. I'd absolutely hire again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Cabinets

Are stock cabinets a good option for a kitchen remodel?

They can be. Stock cabinets may provide excellent value when standard sizes work well within the kitchen layout and extensive customization isn’t needed. RPK offers J & K Cabinetry and 21st Century Cabinetry as stock cabinet options.

What is the difference between stock and semi-custom cabinets?

Stock cabinets are generally manufactured in predetermined sizes and configurations. Semi-custom cabinetry typically allows more flexibility in sizing, finishes, storage options, and modifications.

What cabinet options does RPK Construction offer?

RPK currently offers J & K Cabinetry and 21st Century Cabinetry as stock options, Wolf Cabinetry as a semi-custom line, and Medallion Cabinetry as a premium made-to-order line ranging from semi-custom to custom capabilities.

Can I see the cabinet options before choosing?

Yes. All four cabinetry lines are represented at the RPK Kitchen & Bath Design Center, allowing homeowners to compare available styles, finishes, and design options in person.

When should cabinets be selected during a kitchen remodel?

Cabinet planning should happen relatively early because cabinetry affects the overall layout, appliance placement, countertop measurements, electrical planning, and many other aspects of the kitchen. RPK coordinates these decisions as part of the remodeling process.

Can RPK help determine the cabinet layout?

Yes. Cabinet layout is considered as part of the complete kitchen remodeling plan. The team evaluates storage needs, appliance placement, traffic flow, workspace, and how homeowners use the kitchen before finalizing the design.
