Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I find out what an item or items will cost?
A: Simply give me a call to set up an appointment for me
to come by and discuss your needs with you. Since everything is
custom made, I need to make sure that I understand your desires
completely so that I can give you a good estimate. You can reach me
on my cell phone at 334-322-6118 or email at
RealWoodCustomDesigns@gmail.com.
Q:
I have been looking all over for cabinets but can't find anyone who
will build what I need, can you?
A: In a word, YES! This is what I love to do. Take a
project that seems impossible and figure out a way to make it work.
Sometimes it may take me a while to figure some of the details out
but I can usually do it.
Q:
Do you install what you build?
A: Most definitely. If your cabinets or furniture needs to
be installed, we will do it. If you have a small item that you could
setup on your own and would like to pick it up, that can be arranged
as well.
Q:
What species of 'real wood' do you use?
A: I will use any species that we can find. The more
common that I use are: oak, pine, poplar, maple, walnut, mahogany,
and cherry. But if we can find it, I will use it.
Q:
Is everything you build made totally from solid real wood?
A: 'Solid' Real Wood would mean no plywood. We consider
plywood to be real wood since it is made from pieces of solid wood
glued together to create very strong and durable sheets. These
sheets are also more stable and stay flat better in large pieces
than 'Solid' wood would. But you can rest assured that we never use
particle board or MDF.
Q:
How long does it take to get my order?
A: There are many factors that work into this answer such
as current work load, size of the job, any special order items, and
so forth. We will talk about a delivery date before the work will
begin. The short answer is that we try to get things done as quickly
as possible without compromising quality.
Q:
Why don't you have a price per foot for cabinets?
A: This answer is very simple. I don't believe in charging
for something that is not needed. Since most everything we build is
custom built, it is determined by the materials and time it will
take to build it. Rest assured you will be paying the lowest price
possible for your project.
Q:
My friend had you do a job for them. I want the same thing, will
the price be the same?
A:
Maybe. There are several factors to take into account
here, current price of materials is a big one. The price of
materials has been very unstable as of late so there may be some
slight changes since their project was done.
