Kitchen Cabinets for Eastham Homes

On Cape Kitchens has been supplying and installing kitchen cabinets for Eastham homeowners for over 30 years, and our showroom is right here in town at 4250 State Highway in North Eastham. That means you can stop in on a Tuesday afternoon, put a door sample against your own tile, and talk to the person who will actually run your project.

As a Massachusetts licensed and insured contractor (Construction Supervisor License #CS62739, Home Improvement Contractor License #177590), owner Vern Hatt personally works with Eastham clients to select cabinets that match their style, storage needs, and budget. Cabinets are the single largest line item in most kitchen budgets, and getting the layout right at the drawing stage is what keeps a project on track.

Eastham runs heavily to modest year-round Capes, ranches, and converted summer cottages, and a lot of the kitchens here are small enough that every inch of cabinet has to earn its place. We spend real time on the layout for these: deep drawer banks instead of base cabinets with doors, a pantry cabinet where a broom closet used to be, upper cabinets taken to the ceiling for storage that would otherwise be lost. Being based in town also means we know the Eastham building department and can move a permit along without guesswork.

A lot of Eastham kitchens are small, and small kitchens reward planning far more than they reward expensive materials. The changes that make the biggest difference here are unglamorous: replacing base cabinets that have doors with full-extension drawer banks so you can actually reach the back, running uppers to the ceiling instead of leaving a dust shelf, converting a dead corner into a proper pull-out, and finding twelve inches somewhere for a tall pantry. We would rather spend an extra hour on the layout than upgrade the door style.

Eastham also has a large stock of converted summer cottages, and those come with a specific set of surprises: framing that was never meant to carry a load, floors that step, and original wiring that will not support a modern kitchen. None of that is unusual and none of it is a reason to walk away, but it does mean the honest number for a cottage kitchen is often higher than the cabinet quote alone suggests. We say so at the consultation.

The advantage of being based in town is that we can stop by. If a question comes up mid-project about how a run terminates or whether a filler will read badly, that is a ten-minute drive rather than a scheduling exercise.

We also handle full kitchen remodels and bathroom remodels in Eastham, and serve eight other Cape Cod communities.
