How do I buy your cabinets?

If you are interested in purchasing our kitchen cabinets, the first step is getting in touch via email or telephone.  If you live in Seattle you can make an appointment to come see our office/showroom/facility in the Wallingford neighborhood.  We have both traditional and modern cabinets on display so you can see the features that we offer and the quality of our cabinets.  We can work though the design process to finalize the elements and provide a price for the project.  Distance between you home and our facility is not a problem for us. We are skilled on working on projects outside of Seattle and have a reputable track record shipping our cabinets afar.

We offer design services free of charge to our customers. By working with us on your kitchen design, we bring to the table close to 40 years of experience in designing beautiful and functional living spaces. As reflected in our portfolio, we are skilled at designing both traditional and contemporary styles.

What are your typical construction methods?

At Warmington & North, we are committed to building the highest quality wood products possible.  We achieve this by combining the best raw materials with modern machinery and advanced fabrication techniques.  We build our boxes out of 3/4″ plywood or 3/4″ euro ply and fasten our cabinets together with heavy duty 50mm steel confirmat screws.  Every cabinet that we build meets or exceeds the standards for AWI for “premium grade” cabinets.

What kind of hardware do use?

We make no compromises with the hardware that we use in our cabinets.  We have tried drawer slides and hinges from all of the American and European hardware manufacturers and are using the best hardware available.

In modern cabinets we use soft closing  Blum CLIP for hinges and  Blum Tandem  drawer slides for drawer hardware.  Modern kitchens can can be outfitted with stainless steel Blum Intivo drawer box systems.  Traditional cabinets are fitted with soft closing Blum Tandem drawer slides and can either use Blum CLIP soft-close hinges or a more traditional ball tipped hinge there is a face-frame present.  As a standard, we use solid brass hinges made by Whitechapel that are of the highest quality to ensure smooth motion.

Do you finish your cabinets?

We offer excellent in-house finishing services for the wide variety of products we produce, but we also give customers the option to buy cabinets unfinished.  We typically only deliver unfinished products when the style of the cabinetry is traditional and and the homeowner or contractor thinks its more feasible or more affordable to paint the cabinets on site.

Do I have to pay sales tax?

Sales tax is charged for customers who live in Washington State.  If the customer lives out of state, they are exempt from this tax.

Do you offer shipping for your products?

Customers who live in Seattle either have the option of picking their kitchen up at our facility or we can deliver it to the job site.  For customers who live elsewhere, we can ship our cabinet systems anywhere in the United States via ground freight.  Shipping charges vary depending on the size of the project but tend to be between $1000.00 and $2000.00.  In the past we have had customers drive to our shop with a U-Haul to forego the traditional shipping process.

Do you install?

Typically, we do not perform installation services, however we provide excellent written documentation and information to aid the homeowner or contractor during the cabinet installation process.  We have years of expertise building cabinets that are designed to be as easy as possible to install.

If you live in the Seattle region and you need help with installation, we can offer professional recommendations.

What kind of support or warranty do you offer?

All of our cabinets carry a lifetime warranty against defects in workmanship and materials.  Problems are few and far between but when they occur we do our best to resolve them as quickly as possible.  After our products are installed, we provide the customer with the information and materials necessary to preform periodic hardware adjustment to keep the cabinet system at its best.
