Journeyman Cabinets.

The state insures Journeyman Cabinets under workers' comp classes for interior finish carpentry and for cabinet, countertop and fixture manufacturing, so the cabinets are built, not just installed. The company advertises custom commercial cabinetry manufacturing alongside cabinet and countertop repair, and describes itself as family-owned. Its public-works filings run from 2020 into 2026 and show apprentices on the job. The state lists Dustin Ruckhaber as a principal since 2017, the year the business was established, and puts the crew at one to three people. That small crew shapes the fit. The owner works on the tools, and new work tends to come through referrals and repeat customers. It suits a new office or storefront that needs cabinetry built to its space, a public project that calls for prevailing-wage finish carpentry, or an existing set of cabinets that needs repair or new hardware. This is a cabinet and millwork shop rather than a framing outfit, and its custom manufacturing and public work make it a better match for planned projects than for a fast-turn kitchen remodel. Plenty of cabinets in Spokane's older homes, from South Hill bungalows to postwar ranches, have solid boxes worth keeping. A sagging shelf, a loose hinge or worn drawer slides is a repair, not a reason to tear everything out. Replacement makes more sense when the boxes are particleboard swollen from a leak under the sink, or when the layout no longer works. Water damage is the thing to check first. Open the sink base, look at the floor of the cabinet, and ask whether the frame is still sound before deciding.
