# Dedham Cabinet Shop **Trade:** Carpentry · **Address:** 71 Legacy Blvd, Dedham, MA 02026 · **Phone:** (781) 742-0018 · **Website:** http://www.dedhamcabinetshop.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 2.9/5** (low confidence) — from 3 reviews across 6 sources. ## The honest read Dedham Cabinet Shop is a Dedham, Massachusetts cabinetmaker and renovation contractor that says it has built custom millwork since 1945 and is now led by a third generation of the Priore family. Its own site describes design, fabrication, installation, and full project management for kitchens, bathrooms, built-ins, entertainment centers, and related renovations. Customers have described careful cabinet work, responsive communication, and professional installation. Houzz shows a 4.9 rating from 27 reviews and 80 projects, while the dated written reviews available here run from 2014 to 2018. One 2016 account praised detailed work and follow-through; another, dated November 2017, reported warping cabinet doors and a six-month delay before an update. Before booking, confirm the current status of license 120191: a September 2026 registry check identifies it as expired, while older directory pages display it as active or list additional historical licenses. Also confirm the scope of renovation management, fabrication and installation responsibilities, warranty handling, and current lead times. They are a plausible fit for homeowners seeking custom cabinetry or a coordinated kitchen or bathroom renovation, especially where design-to-installation craftsmanship matters. Ask for current licensing documentation, a written scope, references for recent work, and a clear process for resolving defects. **Strengths:** - Custom cabinetry — repeated praise for detailed workmanship - Project breadth — 80 Houzz projects and 17 BuildZoom permits - Long history — company states custom millwork since 1945 - Installation process — reviewers cite responsive, timely professional work **Concerns:** - License status — 2026 registry check marks HIC 120191 expired - Cabinet defects — one 2017 review reported warping doors - Follow-up timing — same review reported a six-month delay **Where sources disagree:** - The current state registry identifies HIC license 120191 as expired, while Houzz and BuildZoom display older active or historical license records. - The business address is shown as Dedham on BBB and BuildZoom but Canton on Houzz. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - The company designs and builds custom cabinetry and millwork for kitchens, bathrooms, and other rooms. _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](http://www.dedhamcabinetshop.com) — “Dedham Cabinet Shop states that it designs and builds custom cabinetry and millwork for kitchens, bathrooms, and other rooms, with installat…” - [Official Website](http://www.dedhamcabinetshop.com) — “Company history (self-reported): Dedham Cabinet Shop states that it has provided custom millwork since 1945 and is now in its third generati…” - The company states that its custom millwork business dates to 1945 and is now in its third generation. _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](http://www.dedhamcabinetshop.com) — “Company history (self-reported): Dedham Cabinet Shop states that it has provided custom millwork since 1945 and is now in its third generati…” - [Official Website](http://www.dedhamcabinetshop.com) — “Self-reported 81 years in business” - Houzz lists a 4.9-star average from 27 ratings and 80 projects. _(confidence: medium)_ - [Houzz](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/cabinets-and-cabinetry/dedham-cabinet-shop-pfvwus-pf~436598886) — “80 project(s) shown on Houzz” - [Houzz](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/cabinets-and-cabinetry/dedham-cabinet-shop-pfvwus-pf~436598886) — “Houzz: 4.9★ from 27 ratings” - A November 2017 review described warping cabinet doors and a delayed replacement follow-up. _(confidence: high)_ - [Houzz](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/cabinets-and-cabinetry/dedham-cabinet-shop-pfvwus-pf~436598886) — “2★ This was my fourth kitchen done by this company.
