About Us

Where we started
When you choose to work with our staff of professionals, you’re getting a unique combination of forward-thinking innovation and home-grown integrity. Our company’s success was built on the hard work and determination of founder Johnny Edwards, an enterprising craftsman from Raleigh who started the company from the back of his car. When word got out and business boomed, Edwards hired the best designer he knew—and 1st Choice quickly became one of the most successful and renowned cabinet companies in Raleigh.

Today, the company continues to grow. 1st Choice Cabinetry offers its customers the largest cabinet-only showroom in the Triangle—you’ll be amazed by the selection of quality brands, and you’ll feel inspired by infinite possibilities of kitchen design. We work with builders, homeowners and remodelers, taking pride in being a one-stop resource for your entire project. All you need is a dream and an idea—we’ll take it from there.

Who we are
At 1st Choice Cabinetry, we believe the first step toward a successful project is building strong relationships with customers. To get to know the talented professionals you may be working with, we encourage you to meet our staff.
