About Distinctive Cabinet Design
Distinctive Cabinet Design got its start in 1999 when Joe Fradette, under the guidance of his father created a company with a mission to provide unique and specialized cabinet design, each piece a one-of-a-kind statement.
Today, we work hard to ensure that mission and promise to give you nothing but, as our name suggests, distinction.
We employ a dedicated staff, and each member of our team has an average of ten years experience crafting customized pieces for a range of industries. Distinctive Cabinet Design was started with the goal of creating specialized cabinets incomparable to other cabinetry on the market, superior in design, craftsmanship, and durability.
We have since grown from residential cabinetry and to offering a wide range of services including customized architectural millwork such as paneling, trim, wood cabinets, casework, and retail fixtures.
If you have a project, whether it’s cabinetry, a fireplace that makes a statement, or you need millwork for your new business, we’ve got the skills, the equipment, and the passion to excel at any job.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
I have personally worked with Distinctive Cabinet Design on several Casino/Hotel projects over the past 7 years. The projects have ranged in various sizes. The two largest projects have been Omak Resort & Casino in Omak, Washington and Shoshone Casino in Lander, Wyoming. Both projects were extremely high-end millwork packages with a combination of wood, laminate, stone, acrylic and metals. The millwork provided by Distinctive Cabinet Design was of impeccable quality and the casinos were stunning when complete.
