Framed vs. Frameless Cabinets: What’s Best for You?
With Bishop’s frameless kitchen cabinets, you get robust ¾” box construction, soft-close hardware, and hundreds of finishes—so whether you lean modern or classic, fit and finish won’t be a compromise.
- Frameless (full-access): No face frame = wider openings and up to ~15% more usable space; tight, contemporary reveals; excellent for small or galley kitchens.
- Framed: Classic American look, broad door-style compatibility, great for traditional or transitional designs.
Our Design–Build Process (What to Expect)
- Discovery & Site Measure – We discuss goals, pain points, inspiration, and rough budget. Field measurements confirm constraints and opportunities.
- Concepts & 3-D Design – You’ll see layout options, door styles, and finishes in 3-D—plus a line-item proposal with allowances for cabinetry, counters, and fixtures.
- Selections & Ordering – Make final decisions in our showroom. We verify every cabinet SKU/finish, then sequence orders to sync with the build schedule.
- Permits & Scheduling – We handle Chapel Hill/Orange County permitting, coordinate inspections, and keep your timeline visible.
- Build & Install – Site protection, demo, framing (if applicable), rough-ins, drywall, flooring, paint, cabinet installation, counters, tile, and finishes.
- Walk-Through & Warranty – We review your kitchen together and address final details before close-out.
Typical kitchen timelines vary by scope and lead times; planning early around cabinetry ensures a smoother, shorter build.
