Ashland Cabinet

Ashland Cabinet is a family-run cabinet shop in Southborough that homeowners hire almost exclusively for custom kitchen and bath cabinetry — design, ordering, and installation — run day to day by Matt Sr., Matt Jr. and Lisa. Across 93 reviews collected since 2021, mostly on Google, the story barely changes: someone walks in undecided about style, layout, or hardware and leaves with a plan that fits both the house and the budget. The design conversation is what people mention most. Reviewers describe Matt Sr. and Matt Jr. as patient with indecision, walking them through finish and hardware options rather than steering them toward one package, and staying in touch on tweaks after the order goes in. Installation draws similar praise — crews are called professional, efficient, and detail-oriented, with a few reviewers pointing specifically to tight cabinet fit and clean miter joints. A number of customers are repeat clients, coming back for a second bathroom or a third project years after the first; one family had Ashland Cabinet update a kitchen it had originally installed back in 2008, and said Matt Jr. matched the old cabinetry to the new design closely enough that the two runs are hard to tell apart. Most of the work described is cabinetry itself — kitchen cabinets and islands, bathroom vanities, laundry and mudroom storage, a wet bar — rather than a full, multi-trade room gut, though on at least one project the company took on the general-contractor role for a fuller kitchen and dining room renovation. Post-installation follow-up comes up more than once: a 2023 review described a cabinet needing a small fix and a serviceman arriving the next day, and a 2022 review described a customer calling back about refrigerator-leak damage to the toe-kick trim and cabinetry installed years earlier. The one recurring gripe, raised in a couple of 2024 reviews, is timing — cabinets or installation start dates running later than expected, though both reviewers said the finished work held up regardless. Ashland Cabinet is the right call for a kitchen or bath centered on new cabinetry rather than a full gut renovation — Google (121 ratings) and Porch (48 ratings) both show a full 5-star average, consistent with the individual reviews above. Ask about current lead times before locking in an installation date, and expect close attention to hardware and finish details along the way.
