Frequently Asked Questions.
Everything you need to know before getting started with your custom cabinetry or handcrafted furniture project.
How much does custom cabinetry cost?
Custom cabinetry at Legacy Woodcraft & Design starts at $425 per linear foot and increases based on wood species, design complexity, finish selection, and hardware. Reclaimed wood, specialty hardwoods like walnut or white oak, and custom painted finishes will each affect the final investment. Because every piece we build is entirely custom — no two projects are ever the same — we provide a detailed, itemized quote after your free consultation so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes, always. Consultations at Legacy Woodcraft are completely free. We're happy to connect however works best for you — in person at your home or job site, by phone, by video call, or by email. We want to fully understand your vision, your space, and your goals before we put pen to paper or wood to saw. There's no pressure and no commitment required.
How long does a project take?
From initial consultation to completed installation, most projects are finished within 8–12 weeks. We are currently booking 10–16 weeks out, so we encourage you to reach out early — especially for new construction, whole-home renovations, or contractor timelines where scheduling coordination is critical. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can lock in your build slot.
What do you need to get started?
Once you've reviewed your custom quote and are ready to move forward, we require a 50% deposit to secure your place in our production schedule and begin sourcing your materials. The remaining 50% is due upon completion, before installation. We'll walk you through every step of the process during your consultation.
Who do you work with?
We work with homeowners, custom home builders, general contractors, architects, and interior design professionals throughout the Southeast. Legacy Woodcraft is a particularly strong fit for general contractors and builders — Jonathan Cairnes' background in commercial construction means we understand job site schedules, budget management, and professional coordination at a level most custom cabinet shops simply can't match.
What is your service area for installation?
Our workshop is located in Canton, NC in the heart of Western North Carolina. We provide full delivery and professional installation within a 300-mile radius of our shop, which includes:
- Western North Carolina: Asheville, Waynesville, Hendersonville, Brevard, Sylva, Burnsville, and surrounding communities
- East Tennessee: Knoxville, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Johnson City, Kingsport, Chattanooga, and surrounding areas
- Upstate South Carolina: Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, and surrounding communities
- Greater Southeast: Charlotte, Atlanta, and other major metro areas within range
For clients outside the 300-mile radius, we offer nationwide shipping of finished cabinetry and furniture pieces.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes. For clients outside our installation radius, we carefully package and ship finished cabinetry and furniture pieces anywhere in the country. Contact us to discuss your project and we'll walk you through the shipping process and timeline.
Do you work with reclaimed wood?
Reclaimed wood is one of our specialties and a signature part of what makes Legacy Woodcraft unique. We work with reclaimed oak, hemlock, pine, and wormy chestnut salvaged from barns and historic structures — some over 100 years old. Reclaimed wood cabinetry and furniture is available for projects throughout Western North Carolina, East Tennessee, Upstate South Carolina, and nationwide. Visit our Services page to learn more about our reclaimed wood work.
Do you stand behind your work?
Every piece we build is backed by a 2-year warranty covering craftsmanship and materials. We build things to last for generations — and standing behind our work is simply part of who we are. If something isn't right, we make it right.
What wood species do you work with?
For solid hardwood projects, we commonly work with white oak, walnut, maple, cherry, and alder. For reclaimed wood projects, we source reclaimed oak, hemlock, pine, and wormy chestnut. Not sure which wood is right for your project? We'll guide you through the options during your free consultation based on your style, budget, and how the piece will be used.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Legacy Woodcraft & Design is a professional, insured woodworking and cabinetry business based in Canton, NC. We work regularly alongside licensed general contractors, architects, and builders throughout the Southeast.
