Serving Merrimack, NH
Kitchen and Bathroom Cabinets for Merrimack, NH Homes
Merrimack kitchens are often ready for a second life. Much of the town was built in the 1980s and 1990s, whole subdivisions of colonials and garrisons whose original cabinets have simply aged out. The bones are usually good. The footprint works, the plumbing is where it should be, and the win comes from better storage, smarter layouts, and finishes that feel current. Newer builds around town have the opposite problem: plenty of square footage, not much personality, and builder-grade cabinets that were never meant to last.
That is a good fit for semi-custom cabinetry. A peninsula that blocks the walk to the family room can become an island with real seating. Wall cabinets can run to the ceiling for storage you actually use. Base doors can give way to deep drawer stacks that hold pots and pans without the crouch-and-dig routine. Cabinets by Design is a husband-and-wife studio in Nashua, about 15 minutes south of Merrimack. Danielle leads the design, selections, and sourcing, and her husband Kyle, a contractor and master electrician, handles the field measurements, trade coordination, and installation.
We carry Mantra, Diamond, and Decora, three semi-custom lines from MasterBrand that cover everything from a straightforward refresh to a full custom-look kitchen. Mantra is the fast one: it delivers in about two weeks, which keeps a remodel moving. It all starts with a free design consultation and a free in-home measure at your Merrimack home, so you see a real layout and an honest quote before committing to anything.
Our positioning is simple. Great design plus real construction knowledge plus reasonable pricing, without the snooty showroom attitude. Merrimack homeowners tend to be practical people, and so are we. If your layout works, we will design around it. If it does not, we will show you what changing it takes and what it gets you.
The typical Merrimack kitchen we're called about
A 1985–1999 colonial or garrison with an L-shaped kitchen, a soffit above the wall cabinets, a peninsula that blocks the walk-through to the family room, and 30-inch uppers that stop a foot short of the ceiling. Nothing structural is wrong. We take the soffit out, run cabinets to the ceiling for real storage, turn the peninsula into an island with proper seating clearance, and swap the base doors for full-extension drawer stacks. Same footprint, same plumbing, roughly double the usable storage.
Bathrooms and mudrooms in Merrimack homes
Merrimack primary baths are often generous but poorly divided — a big vanity with two doors and a lot of dead space underneath. A double vanity with drawer banks, a tall linen tower and a properly sized medicine cabinet usually solves it without touching the tile. Mudrooms are the other common ask: most Merrimack homes come in through the garage, so a bench with cubbies, hooks and closed lower storage takes the daily mess out of the kitchen.
What a Merrimack project looks like start to finish
We start with an in-home measure in Merrimack — usually within a week of your call. You'll see a layout with real dimensions, door styles and finishes from Mantra, Diamond and Decorá, and an itemized number before anything is ordered. Cabinet lead times generally run 4–8 weeks depending on line and finish; installation is scheduled around your delivery date, not before it, so your kitchen isn't torn apart waiting on a truck.

Do you serve Merrimack, NH?
Yes. We're based in Nashua, NH and work with homeowners throughout Merrimack and the surrounding Southern New Hampshire towns on kitchen, bathroom, mudroom and custom cabinetry.
How much do kitchen cabinets cost in Merrimack?
Cost depends on kitchen size, layout and which cabinet line you choose. Most of our projects land in a semi-custom range that gives you real flexibility in storage and style without fully custom pricing. We'll walk through honest numbers at your consultation before anything is ordered.
How long does a cabinet project take in Merrimack?

What cabinet lines do you carry?
We work with Mantra, Diamond and Decorá — curated lines that cover a wide range of door styles, finishes and price points, all with the construction quality we're willing to put our name on.
Do you handle installation too?
Our process is led by a licensed contractor with hands-on installation experience, so layouts are planned around real clearances and real-world install conditions — not just a pretty rendering.
Can you replace kitchen cabinets in Merrimack without a full gut renovation?
Yes, and that's most of what we do here. If your layout works and the plumbing and electrical are where you want them, replacing the cabinets, removing the soffit and rethinking the storage gets you a new kitchen without moving walls or relocating appliances.
Do you work on Merrimack condos and townhomes?
We do. Smaller footprints are where semi-custom lines really pay off — filler-free layouts, 12-inch pull-outs and taller wall cabinets add storage in units where every inch matters.
