There are companies that sell cabinetry, and then there are those that shape how a home feels from the inside out. Since 1974, Packard Cabinetry has firmly belonged to the second category, building an enduring reputation for architectural harmony, elite craftsmanship, and deeply personalized service. They are primed and ready to support the families in the Cliffs Communities as well.

At the heart of the company is the enduring partnership of founders John and Rae Packard, CKD (Certified Kitchen Designer). John’s background as a master furniture maker ensures a deep, foundational understanding of wood, construction, and aging patinas. Rae’s advanced certification brings world-class spatial engineering and functionality to the drawing board. Together, they lead a highly trained team of degreed designers utilizing advanced CAD software to deliver flawless execution from the initial field measure to the final installation.

Specializing in high-end residential kitchens, baths, bars, libraries, and upscale multi-unit townhomes, Packard Cabinetry adapts seamlessly to any architectural style—from traditional mountain retreats to sleek contemporary residences. The firm frequently collaborates with premier interior designers across the region's most prestigious gated golf communities, including The Cliffs Communities. With roots in New York and a flagship presence in Western North Carolina, Packard has also expanded across the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill region through branded display locations and retail partnerships.

Embodying their creative philosophy—“a design showroom and heads full of ideas”—the newly rebuilt and refined Hendersonville showroom stands as a testament to the company's resilience following Hurricane Helene. Operating primarily by appointment, the studio offers a curated, relaxed environment where clients can explore elite cabinetry lines, custom finishes, appliances, and architectural hardware under focused expert guidance.

Evolving to meet the demands of modern bi-coastal homeowners and busy schedules, Packard Cabinetry has perfected a seamless remote collaboration process. Relocating clients can easily share plans and inspiration photos from anywhere in the country. Packard's team then utilizes structured design systems and workflow coordination to generate photorealistic 3D renderings before the first in-person meeting ever takes place.

What makes the company unique is the broad network of custom cabinetry partners and craftsmen they’ve developed across the country over the past 50 years. Because of that, they are able to interpret inspiration photos and match clients with the best cabinetry source, finish, style, and level of customization for their particular project: providing immense creative flexibility without being locked into a single manufacturer.

On a personal level, family has always been central to John and Rae's lives. With two grown children and five grandchildren split between New York and Richmond, Virginia, staying close and watching the next generation grow remains one of their greatest rewards.

Clients frequently describe the Packard experience as unusually collaborative, organized, and detail-oriented — a process built around listening carefully, guiding thoughtfully, and helping homeowners navigate countless decisions with confidence.

After five decades in business, Packard Cabinetry continues to evolve while remaining grounded in the same principles that built its reputation: craftsmanship, creativity, service, and a passion for beautiful living.

For homeowners seeking more than simply cabinetry – for those looking for a team capable of transforming the way a home functions and feels – Packard Cabinetry has become a trusted name in luxury residential design.
