DeForest is a village about 15 miles northeast of downtown Madison. Its population grew from 8,936 in 2010 to 10,811 in 2020. Madison Elite Cabinets works with DeForest homeowners on kitchens, baths, closets and garages. This page explains what we look at, and what you should consider before you start.
Population grew by about 1,900 people in ten years. New households arrive, and with them new kitchens that need to work for a busy life. The vacancy rate for owner homes was only half a percent in 2020, so good homes get snapped up, and new owners often want to personalize them. Cabinets are one of the quickest ways to do that.
When you buy a house, you inherit its cabinets. List what works and what does not. Maybe the layout is good but the doors are dated. Maybe the boxes are fine but the drawers stick. Your list tells us whether to reface, paint or replace.
Many households juggle early starts and busy schedules. A kitchen with a coffee station near the door, a lunch-packing drawer and a charging spot at the counter helps those routines. Our kitchen cabinet plans put the daily items at hand.
Farmland, rolling plains and glacial moraines surround the village, so mud and dirt find their way in. A mudroom cabinet area with a boot tray and a wipe-down bench saves your floors. For deeper storage, garage cabinets give tools, seed bags and sports gear a home. Our post on road salt and garage cabinets helps you pick finishes.
A smart linen cabinet beside the shower, a laundry counter near the dryer and a closet with drawers all add function. See our bathroom cabinets, laundry room cabinets and custom closets pages for ideas.
Wisconsin winters can bring 0 degree mornings, and heated air gets dry. Summer then brings humidity. Cabinets should be built to handle both. We choose stable materials and finishes, so doors keep their fit year round.
DeForest has a business park of about 115 acres. For offices, labs or break rooms, we offer commercial cabinets.
Ready-made cabinets come in set sizes, so fillers close the gaps. Custom cabinets are cut to your room, which means fewer fillers and more usable space. Custom also lets you pick drawer depths, tall sections and special inserts. Our post on custom versus stock cabinets explains the tradeoffs in plain words.
We go over this list at the end of your consultation, so there are no surprises.
A kitchen can get noisy fast. Soft-close doors and drawers cut the bang. A good range hood clears steam and smells. Add under-cabinet lights, so you can see without turning on the big overhead. If you are near a window, think about glare on the counters before you pick a glossy finish.
We also work in Windsor, Sun Prairie and Waunakee.
