How the scores work

Rating is the Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, compared with other Columbia businesses in the same trade. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews.

What changes the price of custom cabinets

Custom cabinet pricing depends on the room, the material and finish, the door and drawer style, hardware, lighting and installation. One reviewer paid extra for in-cabinet lighting and felt it was worth it. No prices are published here.
