Ah, the holidays are over. Now you’ve got a chance to rest, relax, enjoy yourself and give some serious thought to making your long-awaited dream come true – remodeling the kitchen. Spring is several weeks away and that allows you ample time to approach the idea and enjoy the process with the help of Premium Cabinets. The Tulsa-based company specializes in balancing quality and affordability, and is quickly becoming a popular destination for new cabinet installations.
Established in 2004, Factory Direct Distribution Warehouse, LLC, has handled maany different products over the years. In 2010, they became the exclusive distributor of Premium Cabinets and now only deal in cabinetry related products.
Premium Cabinets’ office is streamlined and efficient. Owner Gary Gullic and his son, Austin, coordinate inventory, design and sales.
Gary Gullic comes to the industry from a sales and marketing background. “I had a group of old colleagues and friends that formed Premium Cabinets Group and wanted me to join them and help them expand to Oklahoma,” he explains. “I have always been very reputation conscious, and with all the resources to check backgrounds and ratings for contractors or material providers, there seemed to be a huge need for a reputable and dependable cabinetry provider for the Tulsa metro area.”
The idea of providing quality cabinets at an affordable price caught on. “We originally had four locations nationally, and now we have more than 30,” Gary adds. He explains he has several different types of customers. Typically, they are individuals who are remodeling or doing a new construction project, house flippers, and contractors in the remodeling and new construction business. Despite the difference in motivations, they all have one thing in common. “Regardless of who our customer is, they all want a cabinetry provider that will give them great service, answer the phone, keep them informed and give them great value for their money.”
The primary focus of Premium Cabinets is kitchen and bath design. Keeping to the niche they know best, Premium Cabinets specializes in replacing existing cabinets with new, quality installations.
In order to remain focused on customer needs and provide the best service at the best price, Premium Cabinets refers installations to a trustworthy contractor. Premium Cabinets is committed to providing customers with a stellar service experience, and does everything possible to minimize distractions during the design process. Because their location is primarily a working warehouse and production facility, Gary and his team prefer customers make an appointment for design consultations. They understand time is valuable, and strive to make the most of visits with clients and maximize the number of jobs they deliver each week. “The time we spend with customers is focused on discovering their needs and wants, and helping them design a kitchen that fits both their needs and their budget,” explains Gary.
