About Candlelight Cabinetry
Custom quality at semi-custom prices - handcrafted in New York
Candlelight Cabinetry was founded in 1990 by a kitchen dealer and installation foreman who understood what homeowners really want: beautiful cabinetry that doesn't break the bank. For over 30 years, they've been creating custom-quality cabinetry in Lockport, New York.
What makes Candlelight special? They use innovative production techniques to deliver custom features at semi-custom prices. Every cabinet is hand-sanded and wiped before receiving their multi-coat conversion varnish finish. This attention to detail means you get furniture-grade quality without the fully custom price tag.
Candlelight is also committed to environmental responsibility. Their Tree Planting Program has planted over 25,000 trees, and they're ESP (Environmentally Sound Products) certified. When you choose Candlelight, you can even select a complimentary tree for your yard or have 10 trees planted in national forests.
As an authorized Candlelight dealer in New Jersey, Custom Kitchens by Lopez brings 50+ years of installation expertise to every project. We handle everything from design consultation to final installation, ensuring your custom kitchen cabinets are installed perfectly.
