We help keep your projects on schedule.

Many builders become frustrated when it comes to the kitchen design process because it's easy to lose control of the customers. Unless you have your own design showroom to present samples and choices, customers go from store to store, selecting items that don't fit the room layout, are outside of the budget and don't come together as a cohesive whole. This decision-making process can drag out for weeks and delivery of products can take even longer.

At Gulf Cabinetry, we have the resources, skills and expertise to successfully manage this process for you. Whether you choose to work with us as a sub-contractor or have us manage a smaller piece of the process because you have your own in-house design center, we can direct the client's decision making process so that it occurs in a matter of hours rather than days.

Gulf Cabinetry finds opportunities to lower costs and increase customer add-ons without any hassle or effort on your part.

One of the biggest struggles builders have is keeping a project within budget, and this becomes more difficult as their customers request upgrades to various aspects of the design. We have many ways to not only support keeping the project in-budget, but also increase your profitability. We do this with:

• Tiered design packaging. If you choose, we can set up a tiered design package system for your customers to review. These include the basic package, an upgrade package and the customized "bells and whistles" package, and each tier has specific functional and aesthetic components. The customer can choose the basic package that is included in the home price or upgrade to more features, which makes you money.
• Assertive marketing team. Our design and sales personnel are knowledgeable and experienced. They know how to read customers and appreciate which ones may be encouraged to select an upgrade and those who are most comfortable with the basic package. Our team is not aggressive but does know how to share information in a way that entices customers to select an upsell. The focus is on the customer and what they want for the look, feel and function of their space within the builder's parameters.
• When we partner with vendors to address our customer's cabinetry needs, we establish long-lasting relationships that provide us the best service and pricing available. The savings are passed on to you. This also enables us to be aggressive on a production and delivery window when time is of the essence.

We help your customers feel truly excited by their homes.

Customers need to see what their home will look like given various design options and often a 3-D image isn't quite enough. This lack of ability to fully visualize how their kitchen will look and feel can result in delays in finalizing selections. Also, problems may arise, either in the project or from the customer's perspective that require flexibility to resolve.

Our goal is to support our builders and their customers in every way possible, using whatever resources are required. This means that we:

• Work with builders who have their own design centers. Whether you need help creating tiered package options, resolving problems at any level or need assistance due to scheduling needs, our team is ready to help. We will do as much or as little as you choose and keep our efforts within the parameters you set.
• Bring builder customers to our showrooms when requested. For builders that do not have their own design center, we work hard to fill that gap. We make sure that our showroom is outfitted to present a full range of options, from basic to highest, customizable features, within the builder-specified parameters. For those builders who do not encourage upsells, we carefully limit the options to present only those approved by the builder.
• Coddle the customer. When a builder's customer enters our store, we treat them like family. Even if there condensed options to choose from package wise, we do our best to assure that the customer leaves excited about their choices and the space that they will soon be calling home.
• Resolve problems. In any building and design situation, unforeseen challenges arise. At Gulf Cabinetry, we help builders and designers find creative, affordable and aesthetic solutions . It's what we do.

You can offer the best to your customers because we have found the best for you.

Sometimes the most difficult part of designing tract homes is to have them feel unique rather than mundane. Most builders have creative ways to adjust designs to give a home a more personalized feel but this can be difficult to achieve when all of the cabinets and countertops look nearly identical.

We pride ourselves on offering a wide range of quality products from the best manufacturers in the US and staying ahead of home trends so that builders can do the same. Through our vendor contracts we can assure our customers that our products will consistently be of high quality and at a fair price. We can make this statement because we have:

• High-quality vendors. We are not niche buyers. We don't buy the "deal of the month" or work with vendors who are inconsistent with their products. Instead, we work with vendors with high quality control standards and consistently provide a wonderfully finished product at set prices and consistent delivery timelines.
• American made. Most all our products are made here in America, which means that we support our economy and national businesses without sacrificing price or quality. Using national vendors also reduces shipping times.
• A large breadth of styles and designs. We have a large variety of styles, colors, finishes, and textures that you can offer in your model homes, helping them to stand out from the crowd. We will work with you to create unique design packages that fits your space and your budget but which will provide the aesthetic look and quality functionality that can set your homes above the rest.
• Many unique, cutting edge items. Your model home is a visualization of the product that you sell and we can help you add the unique, affordable touches that distinguishes your homes from those of your competitor. We pride ourselves in presenting unique items and innovative styles and materials to your customers. Often these are things that the public isn't necessarily aware of or has immediate access to. We are on the cutting edge, and we know what excites your customers, both in our showroom and in their homes, and what it takes to make your designs have that "wow" factor that closes deals.
