Designers and Architects:
We leave it up to you, the professional, to determine the ‘level of presence’ and amount of involvement that you desire from our staff. Do you want to manage your own client meeting? Be our guest! A team member will still be ‘on call’ if you need us. We’ll familiarize you with sales aids and samples so that your meeting is smooth and efficient. Or ask us to join in for part or for all of your client appointment. We want what’s best for your style of meeting.
-
Builders and Developers:
Think of For the Trades as an extra player on your team. We are poised to provide as many or as few services as you need to get the job done. Relying on For the Trades saves you the cost of adding cabinet specialists to your own team. You’ll enhance your reputation by offering your satisfied buyers great design and well-known quality cabinetry that is delivered on time.

Client Consultations:
It’s not about us. We strive daily to be better listeners than talkers. This is not a threatening place. With a successful selection process in mind, it’s best to send or accompany your buyers to a quiet setting where they can focus solely on one of the most important purchase decisions they’ll make. Relationship building is one of the things we do best. It’s a great foundation for the rest of the process.
