Our story
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 spent showing up when it mattered most, Tom brought that same dependability to cabinetry: solid wood construction, honest quotes, and a 5-year limited warranty he actually stands behind.
Tom's fire-safety certification isn't a line on a flyer — it comes from the job. He knows what it means to be in a home and leave it better than he found it. Today he handles everything from the first walkthrough to the final install: kitchen cabinets, bath vanities, and the in-home measurement that makes both of them fit. Most projects ship within 3 to 5 days from a confirmed plan.
