Frank Wood and his wife Jenny opened their cabinetry business in Charlotte County over 27 years ago. It is a family owned and operated business which now includes their son, Eric. Advanced Cabinetry Systems manufactures cabinets for every area of the home - kitchens, baths, closets, lanai, and the garage. Anywhere you would like to create storage, they can fulfill your request. Even wall units and Murphy beds.

 

Since all their cabinets are custom made they have a large variety of material, design & color choices as well as price points. Advanced Cabinetry Systems is proud that they do not use imported products and buy American every opportunity they can.

Greetings!  

Cabinet Madness Not Only in March!

Keith TowlesOne of the components in building a home that succumbs to a client  "madness" of sorts is selecting cabinetry. What initially begins as excitement can quickly turn into overload. Not only do we need choices for the kitchen, but the master bath, master closet and guest bath(s). Then possibly the summer kitchen on the lanai and maybe an entertainment center or office wall units and desk!
  
It can be mind boggling! The TowlesCorp solution is to have one very good cabinet company take care of all facets of the home's cabinetry. Advanced Cabinetry Systems has an onsite showroom and production area that accomodates our clients' desire to view all of the choices available for each room and to also see how their custom cabinets will be made.
  
What could be overwhelming is suddenly exciting again!

And now a word from our Homeowners...
Steve & Shelley Cors
 
custom kitchen
The deep recessed lighted tray adds additional height to this kitchen which has ivory painted wood wall and base cabinets with contrasting dark stained wood cabinets for the island and range hood. The pot filler faucet above the five burner gas range brings water to the cooktop without the need to carry heavy vessels across the room.

The Cors home is in a prime viewing location for the Christmas Boat Parade. The 65 guests at last year's party can attest to not only the view but also to the wonderful food that Shelley prepares in her beautiful chef's kitchen.

 

Shelley's response to her favorite part of her home... "While the house abounds in beautiful custom details, the kitchen is my favorite place. I love to cook Italian recipes and enjoy serving them to my family and friends." 

 "Working with Keith was an awesome experience! Any issues that arose were immediately addressed and rectified. We would highly recommend Keith Towles to anyone building a new home. As a matter of fact, my husband likes to tell everyone that he is a true "disciple" of TowlesCorp!"

Ask Keith...
What should I be looking for when designing my new kitchen?  

 

It doesn't matter which room you're working on, the main point ofBlueprint graphic  a good cabinet plan is the floor plan itself. Designers will tell you that "form follows function". That means that the function of the area is the prime target. After a great plan is drawn up, then you can choose colors, styles and materials.

 

If there is more than one person using the space (kitchen or bath) then accomodations need to be considered for the tasks each will be performing.  Another consideration is the age, height or physical ability of each user. Someone that is petite will need a lower countertop than a tall spouse. The area should not totally conform to one individual, but should allow for work areas for their specific use. In that way, it will appeal to a variety of people and resale value will be maintained.

 

Once the plan is completed the choice of materials and colors should also follow the "function first" idea. Certain materials respond best to specific environments. A good cabinet company or designer will guide you to the correct choice. Then it's a matter of color, stain and door style. That's the fun part! But even then some thought should be given to function. A door style with an ornate profile will be more difficult to keep clean than a simple Shaker style. Some colors may expand the size of a small room, while others could give a cozy feel to a large space. And, of course, don't forget all the whistles and bells (built-in accessories) that are available to keep everything in order and make the most of storage space.

 

Please feel free to call me (941-575-1515)if you have questions about your specific project. I'd be more than happy to speak with you!
