RTA Cabinets for Investors & Flippers — Investor Pricing, Design Help + BiggerPockets
Hey everyone — I wanted to introduce myself and JLK Cabinetry because I think what we’re building could be genuinely useful to other investors, flippers, builders, landlords, and remodelers here on BiggerPockets.
I’m the owner of JLK Cabinetry — .
Before starting JLK, I worked in real estate as a North Carolina agent and investor/flipper, and I’ve also spent roughly 20 years in the cabinet industry designing and installing kitchens.
That experience is really the value I’m trying to bring to the RTA cabinet space.
We offer RTA kitchen and bath cabinetry, but I don’t want JLK to be another giant online cabinet company where you load a cart, place an order, and then you’re basically on your own.
If you’re working on a flip, rental, new build, or renovation, I can personally help you with the kitchen layout, cabinet sizing, measurements, appliance placement, fillers, panels, corners, trim and the little details that can make or break a cabinet order.
I also understand the investor side. The kitchen needs to look great and function properly, but at the end of the day the numbers still have to work.
Because I’m keeping JLK intentionally lean with very little overhead, I’m able to price our cabinets extremely aggressively while still giving customers much more personalized help than they’ll typically get from a large RTA retailer.
A BiggerPockets perk I’m willing to offer
If you’re a BP member and you’re seriously considering an order, load your cabinets into a cart on and send me the cart along with the delivery ZIP code/location before checking out.
I’m willing to reach out to my supplier and see whether I can get a better freight rate for your particular order. Depending on where you’re located and your proximity to one of the distribution/manufacturing locations, shipping may potentially be lower than the standard website rate.
If I can get the freight reduced, I can provide you with a BiggerPockets promo code reflecting that savings before you place the order.
I can’t promise every location will qualify for a lower rate, but I’m happy to check.
Need the cabinets assembled?
Right now the website is primarily set up for RTA — ready-to-assemble cabinets, but if pre-assembled cabinets are something you’re interested in, reach out to me.
I can currently arrange assembly for $20 per cabinet.
Assembly can change how an order has to be packaged and shipped, which may affect the freight cost. That’s the main reason I haven’t rolled assembly out as a standard option on the website yet — I’m working through the logistics so I can offer it properly rather than surprise someone with a shipping change later.
My goal with JLK isn’t just to sell cabinets. I want to become a resource for investors who need good cabinetry, aggressive pricing, and somebody who actually understands how to put a kitchen together correctly.
Even if you’re not ready to order, I’m always happy to look at a layout or answer cabinet questions.
