Commercial Cabinetry — Chattanooga, TN

Chattanooga is a growing commercial market — restaurants, medical offices, professional offices, churches, and hospitality venues all need cabinetry that holds up under daily use and looks right. We build commercial cabinetry for Chattanooga businesses from our Trenton shop, working directly with business owners, interior designers, and general contractors.

Commercial cabinetry demands a different construction standard than residential — higher-duty hardware, thicker substrate where surfaces take repeated impact, and finishes that can be cleaned without deteriorating. We build commercial projects in solid hardwood with full commercial-grade hardware: full-extension drawer slides rated for 100,000+ cycles, hinges with adjustable soft-close rated for 200,000+ openings, and conversion varnish or catalyzed lacquer finishes that stand up to commercial cleaning products.

Chattanooga commercial projects we do regularly: reception desks and credenzas for professional offices, built-in cabinetry for medical exam rooms and dental offices, display cabinets and shelving fixtures for retail, bar and back-bar cabinetry for restaurants, and specialty casework for churches and institutional spaces. We work from architect's drawings and can coordinate with designers, GCs, owners, and other trades on the project timeline.

Our Trenton shop is about 30 minutes from downtown Chattanooga. For commercial projects with strict schedules, we stage fabrication to match your buildout timeline and can deliver in phases when needed. We're also set up to handle repeat orders for multi-unit projects, office suites, and tenant improvements where consistency matters across rooms or locations. Call 706-657-8112 to discuss your Chattanooga commercial cabinetry project.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with Chattanooga general contractors and commercial designers?

Yes — we work as a cabinetry subcontractor for GCs, construction managers, and interior designers throughout the Chattanooga metro. We can take direction from project drawings, coordinate directly with other trades, and meet commercial project schedules.

What types of commercial spaces have you built cabinetry for in Chattanooga?

Professional offices, medical and dental offices, restaurants, bars, retail spaces, churches, and institutional buildings. If it's a commercial interior that needs built cabinetry, we've likely done something similar in the Chattanooga area.

Is commercial cabinetry from Sims more expensive than prefab commercial casework?

It depends on scale. For one-off custom pieces — reception desks, bar fronts, specialty display — custom is often competitive with high-end prefab once installation is included. For large repetitive runs of standard cabinet boxes, prefab is usually more economical. We'll give you an honest comparison when we quote.
