Kitchen Cabinets Sarasota Homeowners Want — at Contractor-Direct Prices

Quality RTA cabinet lines supplied and installed by the licensed general contractor Sarasota homeowners already trust for luxury remodels.

Updated July 2026

Aegis Construction Services supplies kitchen cabinets Sarasota homeowners would otherwise overpay for at a big box store. As a Florida Certified General Contractor serving Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte Counties, Aegis buys ready-to-assemble (RTA) cabinet lines at wholesale and passes contractor pricing straight to you. Buy the cabinets and run your own project, or add design help and licensed installation if you want it — your kitchen, your call. Either way you're buying from a builder, not a shelf.

 

What Are RTA Cabinets — and Are They Good Quality?

RTA stands for ready-to-assemble: cabinets that ship flat and are assembled on site. That shipping model is the entire cost advantage — you're not paying to freight and warehouse assembled boxes — and it's why comparable RTA lines typically cost 30–50% less than semi-custom cabinets from a showroom.

"Good quality" in cabinets isn't an opinion — it's a spec sheet. Here's the construction inside the lines Aegis supplies:

    Cheap RTA cabinets are the reason RTA has a bad reputation — particleboard boxes held together with staples and plastic fittings. None of those cabinets can match the list above. That's why we show you exactly what's inside ours, so you don't have to take our word for it.

Why Buy Cabinets from a Contractor Instead of a Big Box Store?

A big box store sells you boxes and hands you a subcontractor's phone number. Aegis sells you the same boxes for less — and everything else is optional:

  • Wholesale buying power — contractor pricing on cabinet lines, passed through without retail markup. That's the core of it: buy where the builders buy.
  • Real design help — layouts built by people who build kitchens, so fillers, panels, and appliance clearances are right before you order, whether or not we ever set foot in your house
  • Installation if you want it — Aegis crews can assemble and install, with plumbing disconnect/reconnect handled in-house by Aegis's own licensed plumbing operation. DIYers and owner-builders welcome to skip this line entirely.
  • One point of accountability — damaged panel, backordered door, wrong-hinge door: one phone number, and it's ours

And if the cabinets are part of something bigger, Aegis is the same contractor performing luxury remodeling across Sarasota's coastal island communities — the project can grow without changing hands.

How Does the Cabinet Process Work with Aegis?

  1. Send or build your layout — bring your own measurements and layout, or have Aegis measure the kitchen and design it with you: door style, finish, storage details. Either path works.
  2. One written quote — cabinets and delivery in one number. Compare it line-for-line against a big box quote; that comparison is usually the whole sales pitch.
  3. Order & delivery — RTA lines ship in weeks, not the months semi-custom often takes. Every box is checked at delivery, so damage gets caught before you find it mid-assembly.
  4. Assemble it your way — plenty of our customers assemble and install themselves; the lines we supply go together with real hardware, not plastic fittings. Want it handled instead? Aegis crews assemble, install, scribe to your walls, and handle plumbing disconnect/reconnect in-house — just say so at the quote.
  5. Walkthrough — on installed jobs, doors adjusted, soft-close checked, punch list closed before we leave.

Cabinet Questions, Answered

Are RTA cabinets cheaper than big box cabinets?

Usually, yes — for equal or better construction. The savings come from flat-pack shipping and wholesale buying, not thinner plywood. Send us your layout and compare the quotes directly.

 

How long do RTA cabinets take to arrive?

Most lines ship within a few weeks. Semi-custom showroom orders often run two to three months. If your kitchen is on a timeline, RTA is the schedule-friendly option.

 

Do I have to use Aegis for installation?

No — most of what we sell is supply-only. Buy the cabinets, assemble and install them yourself, and keep the labor savings too. If you'd rather have it handled, Aegis crews assemble, install, and do the plumbing disconnect/reconnect in-house. Your call at quote time.

 

Can I buy cabinets from you for a kitchen I’m remodeling myself?

Yes. Plenty of hands-on homeowners buy supply-only and assemble themselves. You still get contractor pricing and real design help with the layout.

What about countertops and the rest of the kitchen?

Aegis is a full general contractor — cabinets can be a standalone job or part of a complete kitchen remodel. If the scope grows, the contractor doesn’t change.
