Our Clients Love Cabinet IQ

5 out of 5 stars

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Tricia, Graham, and CabinetIQ! We are so grateful we had the opportunity to collaborate with Tricia and Graham on cabinets and countertops for our new construction home, and everything turned out perfectly! Throughout our new construction process, we worked with countless contractors and vendors, and they were hands down the BEST part of our entire experience. Cabinetry and countertops are such a big investment, and we’re incredibly grateful we found a team we could trust. Tricia and Graham went above and beyond at every step. They were attentive, hardworking, flexible, and incredibly responsive, often making themselves available outside normal business hours to answer our endless questions. They offered thoughtful opinions, honest advice, and invaluable guidance that helped us navigate so many decisions. What really sets them apart is how much they genuinely care. They’re not only fantastic at what they do, but also some of the kindest, most dedicated people we’ve worked with. They made what could have been an overwhelming process feel collaborative and enjoyable. We absolutely love how everything turned out and couldn’t recommend CabinetIQ more highly! We’re happy to share additional more photos or speak with anyone considering working with them - just ask Tricia and Graham to connect us! Tricia and Graham - Thank you for everything!

From start to finish, our experience with Cabinet IQ was fantastic! Tricia and Graham were super responsive, listened well, asked the right questions, and helped us decide on a kitchen layout that was beautiful and functional. We were on a tight schedule and they were able to provide us with a range of choices with very quick turn-around times. Getting the cabinets, fixtures and countertops altogether made for a well coordinated and smooth process. We loved working with the entire team and are thrilled with the end result!

We loved working with Tricia and Graham! They were so knowledgeable and handled everything for our new home cabinetry. From the initial consultation, I knew we were in good hands. Cabinet IQ did our kitchen, coffee bar, fireplace surroundings, bathroom vanities, pantry and our closet. The cabinets are stunning, very sturdy and great quality. Tricia and Graham were incredibly helpful with design and layout. They knew what I wanted before I did! Our installers, Sean and Jorje, were wonderful to work with and did such an amazing job. The attention to detail from the entire team was outstanding. I would highly recommend anyone in need of quality cabinetry to go straight to Tricia and Graham at Cabinet IQ!!!

We completed our kitchen remodel with Cabinet IQ of Raleigh and everything looks amazing. After meeting with several different competitors, deciding to work with Trish and Graham was the right decision. They helped me bring my design concept to life and added touches that made the final kitchen design perfect. Again I am so pleased and happy with my kitchen. Each time I walk into my kitchen, I cannot believe the transformation. My kitchen is BEAUTIFUL. They provided a timeline for completion of the job and stayed on point. They were there from start to finish and kept us informed for deliveries. After the design was completed and cabinets ordered, Jorje was absolutely great, completing the demolition and the installation of the new cabinetry. Jorje is a very meticulous craftsman and adds perfection to every detail. Jorje kept us informed through every aspect of the installation of the cabinets, appliances, plumbing, countertops, flooring and lighting. Cabinet IQ of Raleigh and Jorje were just fantastic to work with.

I would recommend Cabinet IQ of Raleigh. Everything for my kitchen delivered in half the lead time. Even though I have a busy work schedule and travel, Graham kept continual contact with me with scheduling and updates. He was concerned that the work was done right and that I was satisfied even making several stops by my property to inspect the process. I will be calling on them when i upgrade my master bath.

We had the pleasure of capturing event photography for Cabinet IQ’s grand opening, and the experience was fantastic! Tricia and the entire team were incredibly kind, communicative, and well-organized, making the event a joy to photograph. Everything was planned and executed seamlessly, and their professionalism made our job effortless. Airmage Media Productions truly appreciates working with such a wonderful team and we look forward to collaborating on all their future photo and video production needs!

Countertop Materials

Granite, quartzite, and marble are all popular choices for kitchen countertops, each offering unique benefits. Each material offers a blend of style and functionality, but the choice depends on your priorities in terms of durability, maintenance, and design.

Marble countertops

MarbleCountertops

Known for their luxurious aesthetic and classic appeal, with beautiful, distinct veining and a smooth, cool surface ideal for baking. Marble is more susceptible to scratches, stains, and etching, so it needs more maintenance than granite and quartzite.

Quartzite countertops

QuartziteCountertops

Similar to granite in durability but even harder and more heat-resistant. They have a stunning, natural look with unique veining, often resembling marble, but are much more durable and less prone to damage.

Granite countertops

GraniteCountertops

Highly durable, resistant to scratches and heat, and available in a wide variety of colors and patterns, making them a versatile choice for any kitchen.
