Shipping Beyond Maine

For over a decade, we’ve built custom cabinets with care and consistency in our Midcoast Maine shop—designed for individual homes and built to stand the test of time. This new offering is just that: Block Brothers quality, made to ship—without compromise. 

Historically we’ve completed nearly every installation ourselves, driven by an obsession with perfection in every detail. But it’s time to stretch beyond the reach of our installation crew here in Maine and share our work in more homes, near and far. We focus on the kind of work where we can make the most impact—projects where the kitchen is part of the story, and thoughtful cabinetry plays a central role in the home.

This isn’t a shift toward a high-volume line or off-the-shelf cabinets; it’s the same approach we take with every project here in Maine. Fully custom and hands-on, start to finish.

We work closely with homeowners, designers, and builders who care deeply about quality—people who take pride in getting it right. From precise site measurements to custom design, fabrication, and delivery, we oversee every step to ensure the cabinetry arrives on time and ready for installation. Once the cabinets are on site, we stay involved, coordinating with contractors and install teams to support a seamless fit and finish so our high standard of quality carries through, no matter the distance. The result is custom cabinetry that feels right at home, wherever it lands. Built to last and designed with care: the way we’ve always done it.

I worked with Ben on a kitchen project for my home in Upstate New York, and the experience was seamless. Ben and his team were a pleasure to work with—professional, responsive, and incredibly detail-oriented. Everything went smoothly, and we couldn’t be happier with the look and quality of the final result.

Every detail of our cabinetry, from the design, to the delivery, to the final product was incredible. Ben met with us multiple times to listen to our ideas, offer suggestions, and work with us on ensuring the design was perfect. He was responsive to changes we wanted to make in design, communicative on costs, timing and delivery, and worked tirelessly to make sure that our kitchen cabinets and vanities perfectly matched our vision. The end product was custom, hand-made cabinetry that we still fall in love with every day. The craftsmanship was enough to impress even the most jaded of old-school contractors who said Ben’s cabinets were the best he has installed of the hundreds he has done over the years.

But beyond the quality of the cabinets, Ben, Morgan, and the whole team at Block Brothers are just exceptional, wonderful people. Your kitchen is the central part of your home to connect with your family and Block Brothers welcomes you into their home, treats you like family, and delivers on the exact vision you hope to have in your own home.
