tory, and being able to put our work into it — we just feel that’s very special.” As one envisions a builder from the early 19th century carefully aligning joints, mortises and tenons, you realize it’s altogether fitting for Alpine Cabinets to become the newest stewards of the building, outfitting it with cabinetry built with the same Old World-style attention to

It all begins with a carefully detailed plan, and this is where Wengerd says Alpine Cabinets spends a great deal of time, both with customers and then behind the scenes, before the building begins.
