How We Work

NIC Cabinetry – Glendale, California

From first sketch
to final reveal.

A commission usually runs three to six months. Here is exactly how it goes.

How We Work By Appointment – Glendale, California
How We Work 01

From conversation
to aftercare.

  1. I Conversation & site visit We learn the house, the light, and how you live. If you’re a designer or builder, we start from your drawings.
  2. II Design & shop drawings Measured drawings, elevations and material selections. You approve every joint before we cut.
  3. III Material selection We hand-pick boards and veneer leaves for figure and color, and finalize the finish on samples.
  4. IV In the shop Built at our Glendale bench - frameless or face-frame, joinery cut to the half-millimeter.
  5. V Finishing Sprayed lacquer, matte to mirror-gloss, dust-controlled and cured before it leaves the shop.
  6. VI Installation Our own crew installs and scribes to the room, and coordinates with your trades.
  7. VII Aftercare Care guidance, and we stand behind the work for the long run.
What We Need 02

What we need from you

The more we know, the better the estimate.

Bespoke work is priced per commission. We’ll give you a clear estimate after the first conversation and drawings - never a required budget field before we’ve even spoken.

  • Drawings or measurements
  • Finishes & inspiration
  • A timeline
  • Who the decision-makers are

Drawings, a board of inspiration, or simply a room and an idea - every inquiry is read by our founder, Ara Mehrabi.
