When you decide to remodel your kitchen, cabinetry is often one of the largest line items on the budget—and a design element you’ll interact with every day. That’s why Prince & Sons partners with Bishop Cabinets, a family-owned cabinet manufacturer known for craftsmanship, custom options, and consistent lead times. Below, we explain who Bishop is, why we trust their products for Durham-area projects, and how our design-build team makes the entire process smooth from first sketch to final punch-list.
Founded in Alabama in 1964, Bishop Cabinets has grown from a small millwork shop into a nationally respected, semi-custom cabinet maker. Every door style, drawer box, and finish is produced in-house—no overseas outsourcing—so quality control stays tight. The company offers:
Because Bishop focuses on semi-custom production, homeowners get almost limitless design freedom without the six-month wait times (or price tags) typical of fully custom lines.
North Carolina humidity can wreak havoc on poorly built cabinetry. Bishop uses kiln-dried lumber and a multi-step catalytic conversion finish that resists warping, peeling, and water rings—perfect for busy Triangle households.
Many brands force you to choose between stock cabinets that limit creativity and full-custom lines that balloon budgets. Bishop sits squarely in the middle: we can tweak box sizes in 1/16-inch increments, specify interior accessories, and still keep overall kitchen remodel cost competitive.
Because Bishop controls its own manufacturing, typical lead times run 6–8 weeks, even on specialty finishes. That aligns neatly with Prince & Sons’ build schedule and helps us finish projects on time—a key reason our Durham and Chapel Hill clients recommend us.
Bishop’s plant meets KCMA’s Environmental Stewardship Program benchmarks for low-VOC finishes and responsible wood sourcing. If sustainability factors into your kitchen remodel, we can document the chain of custody for LEED points or local green-building incentives.
Our Durham showroom features full-size Bishop cabinets—so you can see and touch construction details before signing off. Door and finish samples travel home with you for paint and countertop coordination.
Choosing a premium cabinet line is only half the equation; proper design, installation, and project management ensure long-term satisfaction. Here’s how we deliver:
| Phase | What Happens | Your Benefit |
| Consultation & Measure | We meet in your home to discuss workflow, storage pain points, and style goals. | A plan tailored to your cooking habits—not a one-size-fits-all layout. |
| 3-D Design & Pricing | Our in-house designer models your kitchen using Bishop’s catalog and issues a fixed-price proposal. | See door styles, paint colors, and appliance clearances before committing. |
| Ordering & Quality Check | Prince & Sons validates every SKU, accessory, and finish code; Bishop builds and ships directly to our warehouse. | Fewer job-site delays and no “missing fillers” surprises. |
| Installation & Adjustments | Our licensed carpenters install, level, and scribe each cabinet; a project manager conducts a multi-point inspection. | Flawless reveals, smooth soft-close action, and a spot-on final fit. |
Because design, product selection, and construction live under one roof, you avoid the finger-pointing that can plague big-box or multi-vendor remodels.
