Company Details

Exclusively Cabinets by Cabinetek was founded by Tyler Strom in 2014 after growing up in his family's long-standing kitchen and bath business, where he developed a deep understanding of cabinetry design, customer service, and operational efficiency.

The company was created to modernize the cabinetry buying experience through streamlined showroom operations, proprietary technology, and factory-direct supplier relationships. Rather than functioning as a traditional installation contractor, Exclusively Cabinets focuses on design consultation, cabinetry sales, and project coordination for homeowners, builders, and remodelers through a lean, technology-driven retail model.
