Charles Cabinet

What Charles Cabinet does

Charles Cabinets LLC is a privately held custom cabinetry manufacturer founded in 1954 by Don Charles and headquartered at 3090 Cleveland Ave North in Roseville, Minnesota, where it operates its own cabinet shop, showroom, and installation team. The company designs, fabricates, finishes, and installs handcrafted custom cabinetry, including kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, built-ins, home offices, bars and wet bars, mudrooms, entertainment centers, and custom kitchen hoods, for individual homeowners, contractors, builders, and interior designers across the Twin Cities metro and Western Wisconsin. Production relies on in-house woodworking, precision joinery, solid wood and plywood construction, computerized drafting, and 3D rendering, with color matching and finish replication capabilities to integrate new work with existing millwork.

The business operates on a project-based, one-time sales model with pricing determined per project based on size, materials, design complexity, and finish; estimates are provided only after a personalized in-showroom or in-home consultation. Distribution is direct-to-customer via a consultative sales motion that includes design, fabrication, and in-house installation, supplemented by B2B partnerships with homebuilders (e.g., Sumner Homes), interior design firms (Lucy Interiors, Beautiful Chaos, Spacecrafting), and occasional commercial work (Ironclad MN highrise project). Marketing is content-driven, combining an SEO-optimized blog, project gallery, customer testimonials, and active social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) to drive local demand.

Ownership transitioned to Marine Corps veteran and contractor Pat Heavirland in 2017 after long-running family ownership by the Schreier family (1976-2017). The company retains many employees with 40+ years of cabinetmaking experience, supporting a regional brand built on craftsmanship, custom fit, and full-service delivery rather than scale-based volume production.
