About
Built by a firefighter who knows quality.
NJ Top Shelf Cabinetry is the work of Thomas Grande — a Toms River firefighter who spent years running into other people's homes and decided to build something for them. After a career built on showing up when it mattered, Tom brought that same dependability to cabinetry: solid wood, honest quotes, and a 5-year warranty he actually stands behind.
His fire-safety certification isn't a line on a flyer — it comes from the job. Every cabinet leaves the shop measured, finished, and built to last, usually within 3 to 5 days from a confirmed plan.

Reasons customers choose us
All-wood, every cabinet
Solid wood face frames, plywood boxes, dovetailed drawers — no particleboard, ever. The cabinet is only as good as the material inside it.
We measure, in person
Cabinet jobs go sideways when the measurements are off. We walk your space, confirm the dims, and turn your specs into an accurate project list.
Fast 3–5 day turnaround
Once your plan is confirmed, most projects ship within 3 to 5 days. You get a specific delivery date — not a vague 'soon.'
5-year limited warranty
Materials and workmanship are covered well past install day, so the cabinet you love today is the cabinet you'll love in five years.
BBB A+ & fire-safety rated
We hold a BBB A+ rating and a fire safety certification. Credentials you can verify, not claims you have to take on faith.
Honest pricing, flexible pay
Cash, check, Venmo, or Zelle — no surprises. Credit cards are welcome; a standard 3% processing fee applies.
