Design
We help turn measurements, needs, and ideas into a cabinet layout that considers how the room should look, function, and feel.
About Bates Cabinetry
Experience you can build a room around.
For more than 25 years, cabinetry has been more than something we sell. It is a trade we have learned hands-on — from layout and design to ordering and installation.
Our Story
A family business grounded in the trade.
Father & Son Photography
Your Joy photography will live here when you are able to upload it. Until then, this section is intentionally understated.
Bates Cabinetry is a father-and-son cabinetry company serving homeowners, builders, remodelers, and designers throughout the Grand Strand.
Our experience goes beyond choosing a door style or cabinet color. We understand cabinetry from the first layout through the realities of installation. That practical perspective helps us spot details that can be easy to miss on a drawing and find solutions that make sense once the room is actually built.
We have never believed that good service means pushing every project into the same cabinet line or the same solution. Different homes, budgets, styles, and construction needs call for different answers. Our job is to help customers understand those choices and make decisions with confidence.
There is also something meaningful about building a business with family. The Bates name is on the work, and that keeps the standard personal. We want the finished project to be something our customer is proud to live with and something we are proud to put our name behind.
What We Do
From an idea to a finished room.
Some customers arrive with architectural plans. Others arrive with measurements, inspiration photos, and no idea where to begin. Both are welcome.
Cabinetry
Multiple cabinetry lines give us flexibility in style, construction, customization, and budget instead of forcing every project into one box.
Installation
Decades of installation experience inform the decisions made long before cabinets reach the jobsite — because details on paper eventually have to work in a real room.
“A computer can draw a cabinet. Experience tells you whether it belongs there.”
We use modern design tools, digital catalogs, visualization, and technology to make cabinetry easier to understand. Those tools are powerful. They are even better when backed by people who know the trade.
Our Approach
Service without the sales pitch.
Whether the project is a bathroom vanity, a kitchen renovation, or cabinetry throughout an entire home, our goal is the same: thoughtful guidance, clear communication, and a solution that makes sense for the project.
Listen first.Good cabinetry starts with understanding the room, the customer, and what the project actually needs.
Explain the choices.Construction, door styles, finishes, storage, budget, and installation all matter. We help make those decisions understandable.
Think beyond the drawing.We consider how cabinetry will be installed and used, not simply how it looks on a screen.
Stand behind the work.We value long-term relationships with homeowners, builders, and trade partners more than a quick transaction.
