West Virginia Climate Considerations
Our 30 years in the Mountain State taught us installation techniques that prevent climate-related problems:
Humidity Management
Professional sealing around sinks, dishwashers, and other moisture sources prevents water damage. Commercial installations require additional protection due to higher humidity levels from cooking equipment.
Seasonal Expansion Control
Wood cabinets expand and contract with West Virginia’s seasonal changes. Our experienced installers account for this movement to prevent binding doors and drawers throughout the year.
Ventilation Requirements
Proper ventilation prevents moisture buildup that damages cabinets over time. This becomes critical in commercial kitchens where health department standards require specific ventilation levels.

Our integrated approach offers unmatched advantages for both residential and commercial clients:
