Builders Cabinet was started by Charles Benner, a Metra Rail engineer and his childhood friend, a Chicago Firefighter in the Spring of 1986. They had a common goal, construct quality cabinetry, serve Chicago families, and build a business that could be passed on to a new generation. After many late nights and a lot of sweat, the company grew.
As time went on, their children joined the team and began working their way through college on the shop floor. Eventually, Charles bought out his partner and moved the business to Chicago. As the company grew, it became apparent that Charles' engineer job was slowing down growth.

The Build My Kitchen team did an amazing job of designing our modern concrete style kitchen in our extended living space. Their design skills are exceptional with every detail considered, explained and remodelled as needed. The virtual design graphics are great in giving you real idea of the finished product. The units are of highest quality and the overall installation of the kitchen was excellent and competitively priced.
The fitters were hardworking and friendly ensuring that the kitchen was fitted in line with the agreed timeframes ensuring that our home was treated with respect and left clean at the end of each day. We are thrilled with the final result and love our new kitchen / living space which is the heart of our home. We cannot thank the Build My Kitchen Team enough for their hard work and skill in transforming our kitchen. I would highly recommend Build My Kitchen to anyone thinking of getting a new kitchen.

I worked with Jonny and Hilary over a 6-8 months period for initial quotes and design whilst my extension was in progress. There design service and expertise was invaluable with suggestions and inspiration on storage and design solution they even tweaked the design to disguise the waste stack once the build was underway. The fitting service was great, they immediately addressed a damaged panel and had a new one on site in a day.
I highly recommend build my kitchen for product quality and their design service and would happily use them again in the future. although not planning on replacing my lovely kitchen just yet!

After twenty years with the same kitchen, we decided that it was time for a change, but we did not particularly relish the prospect of shopping around. Offers and promises sound good on paper but listening to the actual experiences of some of our friends suggested that the reality is often very different. Thankfully one of our friends told us about Build My Kitchen and showed us the kitchen they had built for her.
We were very impressed and decided to visit the showroom, though we were determined not to make any hasty decisions. We were so impressed by the products on display and by the professionalism of Hilary that by the end of our visit we knew that we were going to use Build My Kitchen. We took our time over the spec and Hilary helped us through the process with great patience.
At no time did we feel under any pressure and we always felt comfortable that we were working within our budget. When the spec was eventually agreed products were delivered and the installation began. Most of the work was undertaken by sub-contractors, but the feeling was always that we were dealing with Build my Kitchen. Paul completed most of the work for us and his efforts were always of the highest standard.
Where the inevitable hiccup occurred, Paul worked tirelessly to find a solution for us and we were always delighted with his efforts. Jonny visited us on a number of occasions and he also completed some of the works himself. We always felt that he had a feel for how the kitchen would look and his ideas and suggestions were a great help to us. Jonny gave us his personal mobile number and we knew that we could contact him direct if we had any concerns about the progress of the works.
We now have a kitchen which we love and which is totally suitable for our daily needs. We have plenty of space, everything is readily to hand and working in the kitchen has become a real pleasure once again. Having been somewhat reluctant to go back into the 'kitchen market' we are now delighted that we did. Build My Kitchen were great to deal with. Jonny, Hilary, Imogen and Paul were all very personable and professional. We would not hesitate to recommend the services of Build my Kitchen.

We recently moved into a new built house and we have a premium range kitchen; the developer would not build everything we wanted to have in our kitchen. We went through many options with different providers; to go back to the original supplier which was used by a developer was far too pricey, then we found Build My Kitchen. To start with, Johnny is extremely knowledgeable and he has a 'feel' for what you need.
So they completed the kitchen to our own spec, did high quality work at competitive price - built an excellent kitchen addition. (photo of peninsula, and laid quartz everywhere). They are very flexible, good listeners, and fair throughout the whole process. There is a synergy between the company and their subcontractors and you don't even feel these are different teams, they all work as one. Thank you Johnny and everyone at Build My Kitchen! Totally the best team!

This is regarding a kitchen remodel. I reluctantly went ahead with the order due to time constraints. I'm paying the price now. I was not able to get any custom work/sizes done; they only provide stock sizes. I like slightly deeper utensil drawers and I knew I couldn't get them from this place and it's been a headache ever since. My fault - I should have gone with a custom provider that I used previously. Also, parts (were ordered) came that we did not need.
We returned them but never got the credit that Greg promised. We used their quartz countertop supplier. Fit is perfect but quality is lacking; we later noticed several flaws due to the manufacturing process. The cabinets have held up so far so I can't complain about them. However, they are not a true 12" deep upper cabinets; actually only 11" deep usable depth. If you want the average kitchen remodel, then go for it. If you want anything custom, then go elsewhere.

After visiting many high street kitchen chains, I popped down to the Build My Kitchen showroom and was blown away by the beautiful kitchen on display. The moment i walked in i saw my perfect kitchen and discussed with the team exactly what i wanted. They listened to my requirements and designed the perfect kitchen for me. The idea of having my kitchen taken out and replaced was very daunting but they project managed it from start to finish and it went extremely smoothly, from flooring and lighting to the actual fit of the kitchen, they dealt with everything in a professional and friendly way. I am delighted with my new kitchen, it is perfect, i highly recommend the team at Build My Kitchen, I'm so happy that i found them!

We had gone to 6 different cabinet stores both custom and stock. Our last stop was our best, builders cabinet supply. We were lucky to be taken care of by Greg who didn't act like a salesman but as someone who wanted our project to turn out great. From quote to final walk through Greg was there for any issue and had great ideas to help us build our dream kitchen and be cost effective!
Even 2 months after our project was finished he took care of a small issue instantly! Greg and Builders Cabinet supply are a 10 hands down. He can use our project to show clients anytime.

I highly, highly recommend this company! I was turned onto Builder Cabinets by a suggestion from a friend who had worked with someone there previously. I met with Logan who is top notch when it comes to customer service. He sat down with my husband and I and we went over our options for maximizing our cabinet space. See, we recently bought a new home and it had a galley kitchen with maybe four 20" cabinets-No space!
I had no idea how my things would fit. Our previous kitchen in our old apartment was huge! We had plenty of cabinet space, a microwave cart, and some brown, cheap, "build it yourself" cabinet from Wal*Mart and we filled it all! But after sitting with Logan, he found a way for us to maximize our space by removing soffits. He listened to my VERY picky, decisive style needs and he found something for us that is both attractive and functional.
It was just over 3k for plenty of new beautiful cabinets, with soft close drawers I might add. He was extremely sensitive to our budget, helped us find someone terrific for the instillation (separate cost), and I couldn't be happier with the end result! We have tripled the space in our new kitchen. I no longer have that "build it yourself" cabinet or microwave cart and all of my items still fit! It's amazing how beautiful it is too. It's my husband's favorite room in the house.
If you are thinking of updating your cabinets, please consider them. Why pay more at a hardware/department store when you can customize your space for less? No regrets in our kitchen at all. Oh! And did I forget to mention that we were even able to fit in a dishwasher?! This is seriously the best and biggest galley kitchen ever. We are very satisfied customers.
