With more than 30,000 visitors a month to the Main Line Kitchen Design website we get asked nearly every day to design and sell cabinetry outside our service area. This is why we recommend cabinet dealers outside our service area. Normally we don’t design and sell kitchens further than a 2-hour drive from our offices outside of Philadelphia. We believe that to design great kitchens and provide good customer service a dealer needs to measure a project, meet with customers face to face, and be readily available to assist if problems arise.

 

 

These are kitchen designers and cabinet dealers outside our service area that appear to meet our criteria for being good designers and seem to offer quality cabinet lines at competitive prices.

Here is how we selected the companies we are recommending.

 

First our designers looked over the Houzz.com projects of potential dealers to make sure that their projects didn’t have major mistakes in them. This is actually harder than one might think. For example, it took Paul and our other designers 45 minutes looking at a dozen cabinet dealers just to find just one dealer in Los Angeles without blatant design errors on their Houzz page.

Once we found that a company met our minimum design standards and received good online reviews on Houzz, Google, and Angie’s List we then examined their websites.

 

The cabinet lines the cabinet dealers carried needed to be quality lines and have good values, and their web site needed to meet our standards for transparency and professionalism.

 

While we do not know these companies firsthand, we believe our research provides a good starting point for finding a good designer in the areas we list. See the map and recommended listings below.

If we do not list a dealer near you consider calling into our free Friday helpline and podcast. Paul will research with you to hopefully find a promising cabinet dealer near you. Simply Call 61O-5OO-4O71 most Fridays between 2 and 4 pm Eastern Standard Time. Leave a message and we will call you when a line opens. 

When looking for general contractors to do kitchen renovations a good starting point would be checking out contractors listed in professional organizations like PRO or NARI. In our area we prefer PRO.

Paul’s bio from the magazine Kitchen and Bath Design News:

Paul McAlary possesses a voice that resonates far beyond the boundaries of Philadelphia’s western suburbs and the city’s prestigious Main Line – the location of his well-established Delaware Valley design firm. McAlary, president and senior designer of Bala Cynwyd, PA-based Main Line Kitchen Design, is an internationally recognized kitchen design authority who has won more than a dozen local and national design awards, including being named a 2017 Viking Appliances Designer of Distinction.


Beyond his achievements as a designer, McAlary has also forged a burgeoning reputation as the creative force behind the “Main Line Kitchen Design Blog,” a unique online forum and social media resource that is read by more than 40,000 people each month and has been honored as one of the top kitchen design blogs in the world. Main Line Kitchen Design’s videos and blogs address a wide range of kitchen/bath-related topics aimed at sparking a constructive exchange of ideas among both consumers and design professionals.


McAlary, whose kitchens and comments often appear in trade magazines and on social media sites, is sometimes at odds with the kitchen design establishment, but he maintains a distinct sense of humor and is known as a fierce advocate for design standards, ethics and transparency in the kitchen design trade.
