A recent custom kitchen cabinet project by Diadem Finish Cabinetry

Diadem Finish Carpentry designs, builds and installs custom cabinetry for residential and commercial clients in Marin, Sonoma, Napa and San Francisco Counties. In addition to creating unique cabinets for kitchens, vanities and other household applications, the company provides finish work for casings, crown molding, wainscoting, mantels and more.

Owner Scott Thomson is a third-generation custom cabinet maker who believes in the importance of building lasting relationships with his clients—a personable approach that reflects his desire to create high-end cabinetry that stands the test of time. “A lot of cabinet shops operate with a factory mentality and focus on cabinets more than customers,” he explains. “We take the time to talk to each customer and understand their needs, which allows us to provide a better end product.”

Diadem Finish Carpentry prides itself on only using high-quality materials such as domestic premium plywood, solid lumber, state-of-the-art hardware and quality finishes. “We don’t cut corners because there’s no replacement for custom pieces made with premium materials,” says Mr. Thomson. “People expect to be completely satisfied when they choose custom cabinetry, and that’s exactly what we aim to achieve.”

Company Philosophy

“We strive to develop lasting relationships with our clients by always keeping our promises and doing everything possible to ensure their satisfaction. Instead of doing a quick job for a customer, we determine their specific needs and create a special cabinet that will bring them years of happiness.”

Serving Marin, Sonoma and Napa counties including San Rafael, Novato, Rohnert Park, Santa Rosa, American Canyon and St. Helena.
