Our Story…
Since opening its doors in 2001, A.L.M. Fine Cabinetry continues to grow. Michael Arreguin, owner of A.L.M. Fine Cabinetry said that, new products, new staff and a new showroom are just highlights of the positive changes happening at A.L.M. Cabinetry “Its been another great year”, Arreguin said. In 2004, Charnock Flooring joined forces with A.L.M. and the showroom tripled in size, offering customers a full mock working kitchen, and several other kitchen and bathroom displays. In Spring of 2013 we outgrew our shared showroom, and Charnock moved into their own building a few blocks away. A.L.M. has remodeled our showroom and added new displays.
Joining Arreguin is Laura Thomas. Thomas is A.L.M. Cabinetry’s office manager. She brings with her nearly 2 decades of working on computers and graphic design. She has experience in sales, as well as project management, customer service and bookkeeping skills. She has lived in Rochelle since 1991 along with her husband, whose family is from this area and her daughters. March of 2013 Pete Agnos came on board with 18 years of experience in cabinet design, and sales. He and his family have owned a number of local businesses as well and he has been a great asset. Our newest addition is Nan Estes who has lived in Rochelle since 1984 and comes to us with Architectural Degree. She has 23 years experience in Residential & Commercial Design and has been a very quick learner in the Kitchen & Bath Design world. We are glad she joined us and look forward to more new things she continues to enlighten us with.

Arreguin said they have also added several full lines of lighting and several full lines of door pulls and knobs and other decorative hardware. One of the unique features of A.L.M. Cabinetry is how they offer 3D technology so customers can see exactly what the finished product will look like in the home, before any ordering or work has been done. This technology allows the customer to choose from many different designs until they find the one that’s perfect for them. We have a CAD based computer program and a laptop computer which we can take to the customers home, Arreguin said. We are able to duplicate doorways, windows and ceiling heights of the customers home and show them exactly what their kitchen will look like, in the comfort of their home. Customers seem to be surprised that this technology is available in Rochelle.
More than anything, Arreguin said, A.L.M. Fine Cabinetry wants to make the process of designing and the selection of the materials as smooth and as fun as possible.
