What's the difference between your custom products and dealer cabinet brands?
Our made in-house cabinetry is fully customizable - no predefined SKU's, sizes, or materials to limit your choices. We build to the designer's vision and the project's exact requirements. We also offer several national cabinetry brands, offering you flexible options across a variety of styles, price points, and lead times.
Can you take on one-off specialty items or small runs?
Absolutely. One of the advantages of working with a custom manufacturer like us is the ability to say “yes” when others say “no.” Whether it’s a single built-in, a specialty component, special cabinet hardware, or a solution for an odd space, we're equipped to help.
Do you have a showroom?
Yes, we operate a shared showroom space that supports our network of independent designers, cabinet dealers, and trade professionals. While the showroom is not staffed for direct public sales by Waukee CabinetWorks, walk-in clients are welcome when working with one of our resident independent designers.
If you’re a design professional looking for a place to meet with clients and grow your business—we’d love to talk. We offer flexible opportunities for qualified designers to work out of our space and tap into the resources we’ve built.
Can you match finishes or existing cabinetry?
Yes, in many cases. Our finishing department specializes in color matching and custom finishes using our in-house color lab, combined with the extensive product support and resources of our finishing material vendors. We can match existing cabinetry, designer samples, or coordinate with specific palettes when provided with the correct references or physical samples.
Do you offer design and engineering support?
Yes. We can collaborate closely with our trade partners throughout the design and engineering process if needed. Whether you're providing fully engineered plans or just a design concept, our team can assist with technical details, shop drawings, and integration with architectural requirements.
Do you handle publicly bid or government projects?
Yes. We have extensive experience fabricating architectural millwork and cabinetry for municipal, educational, and state-level projects under the guidance of architects and general contractors. We understand bid specs, submittal processes, and large-scale coordination.
Do you offer installation services?
No. We do not offer direct installation services. Most of our trade partners coordinate their own installers or use dedicated install crews. However, our team is happy to coordinate with your installer in most cases to ensure a smooth handoff and answer any technical questions.
Do you deliver?
Yes. We offer local delivery throughout Central Iowa and can coordinate regional shipments as needed. Our deliveries are made to ground-level, accessible areas such as garages, job site loading zones, or unfinished first-floor spaces. We do not provide white glove service or move cabinetry into finished spaces or upper levels.
A qualified team member or representative must be present at the time of delivery to inspect the shipment and move products into the final project location if needed.
