Cabinetry: More Than Just Furniture

Custom cabinetry is the centerpiece of your home. It shapes not only the way you live day-to-day but also how your interior will hold up over the decades. When planning bespoke cabinetry, you decide on the wood species, the number of drawers and shelves, design features like a hidden trash roll-out, and of course—the finish.

Will your cabinetry be painted, stained, or treated with a specialty technique? This decision goes far beyond aesthetics.


A Cabinet’s Extra Coat of Protection

The finish is not just about beauty—it’s about durability, protection, and long-lasting elegance. A high-quality finish is one of the smartest investments you can make to ensure your cabinetry stands the test of time.

In the kitchen especially, where heat, moisture, and constant use are unavoidable, your cabinetry needs more than craftsmanship—it needs defense. A superior finish forms a shield that resists scratches, stains, and wear, helping your cabinetry look pristine for years.


The Gravelle Woodworking Difference

At Gravelle Woodworking, we believe that quality is never optional—it’s built into every detail. That’s why we use only professional-grade catalyzed finishes trusted by fine furniture makers around the world.

These advanced finishes consist of two parts: the base (paint or stain) and a catalyst that bonds the finish directly to the wood. When combined with a specialized curing process, the result is a surface that is harder, longer-lasting, and more resistant than conventional finishes.

Our workshop in Burlington is equipped with state-of-the-art spray booths designed for precision. Here, every cabinet is finished under controlled conditions—dust-free, evenly applied, and cured for maximum durability.


Why Not Just Paint On-Site?

Some homeowners consider hiring painters to apply a finish after installation. While there are excellent painters, the reality is that a job site is never the right environment for finishing fine furniture. Dust, drywall particles, and uneven conditions can compromise the result.

By contrast, our controlled finishing process ensures that your cabinetry receives the same level of care as a fine piece of handcrafted furniture—because that’s exactly what it is.


Quality That Lasts a Lifetime

As customer service expert Ron Kaufman once said: “Quality is a choice. Choose to make it better.”

At Gravelle, we choose better every time. Superior finishes take more time, more expertise, and more precision—but the results speak for themselves. Our cabinetry will withstand daily life while preserving its elegance for decades.

That’s why a superior finish isn’t just an upgrade—it’s an investment in timeless beauty.
