In 1944, Lawrence Munkel, a home builder in Northeast Iowa, began a rich and deep tradition of customizing projects by providing hand built cabinetry.  His son, Steve, soon joined the family business and expanded the tradition by establishing a small custom cabinetry and wood working shop in Decorah, IA  In order to expand product selection, Cabinet Concepts opened its doors in 1990.  Today, Cabinet Concepts offers the finest in cabinetry, design and installation.  We put more into our cabinets so that you get more out of them.
