Not only are they competitive in price to the large corporate stores, but the personal attention and professional advice you will receive is an added bonus. In Lake County, finding the right person to help you make those cabinet choices is easy.
John LaPierre’s interest in woodworking began as a young teenager. He began his work in Upstate New York, at what he did not know at the time would be his lifelong career and passion. Through the years he attained a high level of excellence in many phases of woodworking. In 1973, John moved to the “Sunshine State” and opened LaPierre Cabinetry, which designs and manufactures custom cabinetry. Today the family owned business includes his wife, Grace and son, Matthew. After 36 years, John still loves the business and is dedicated to the future. “I had almost grown bored with the industry 20 years ago, but things changed when kitchens and bathrooms became more of a focal point in the home,” said John.

John takes pride in spending time with his customers in the initial design phase. “It is the fun part of my business,” says John. “When building cabinets, I want to make sure that not only the color is right, but the design is ideal for my client’s home and functions well for their lifestyles.” John pays attention to even the smallest details. His customer base now extends  to two generations in many families. Dr. and Mrs. Moffet are eager to recommend them. “My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed working with him,” said Mrs. Moffet. “He did a total re-make of our kitchen and bath, and my daughter-in- law was so impressed, she also had him do work in her home. John is a true craftsman! Also; when they give you an estimate for a job; the work is done with in budget and on time.”

Other customers are eager to recommend them as well. John and LeeLoni Rice have used them over and over. “They have built cabinets for three of my kitchens. I would never go any where else. I designed my kitchens, John enhanced the plans with his expertise and they always turned out beautifully. John also built a computer desk from a picture I gave him out of a magazine. He custom made it to fit in a corner. It turned out better than the original picture!”

LaPierre Cabinetry has earned a reputation for being the best around for their creative finishing work. The staff takes great pride in upholding that honor...acknowledging that this is what sets them apart in the industry. Whatever finish you choose; from the Old World look to the modern high gloss, you can rest assured it will be unique and perfect. There are hundreds of finishes; many that you can view in their showroom. Each finish can be modified to fit your taste or to match existing decor or furniture. 

Although most of the work is done on premises, LaPierre Cabinetry also offers four lines of cabinets that can be ordered to fit and have a faster turn around time. John chose companies that offer quality cabinets that have the flexibility to customize and in a price range to meet everyone’s budget. John is happy to take on the simplest of jobs as well as the most intricate. 

While cabinets are the majority of LaPierre’s business, they also build beautiful custom entertainment centers, home theatres and even custom closets.
