If your kitchen cabinets are swelling under the sink, doors are falling out of alignment, or the finish is peeling in the bathroom, that’s not a cleaning problem that’s a material problem. Particle board absorbs moisture. In Longs, where the humidity off the Grand Strand is relentless, that process starts faster than most homeowners expect.
All-wood construction holds fasteners, resists the kind of moisture exposure that comes with coastal South Carolina living, and doesn’t delaminate when things get steamy. Whether your kitchen sees daily family use or your bathroom takes on the full humidity of a Horry County summer, the difference between wood and composite shows up fast and it shows up in the places you use most.
A lot of Longs homes were built in the early 2000s, which puts the original cabinets right in the window where they start to go. The hinges wear, the box weakens, and the interior organization that made sense in 2003 doesn’t fit how you actually live now. Replacing them with something built to last with soft-close hardware, real wood boxes, and finishes that hold is one of the better investments you can make in a home that’s already appreciated significantly.
We operate out of Myrtle Beach about 20 miles down SC-31 from Longs which means this isn’t a long-distance service call. It’s a Grand Strand company serving a Grand Strand community, and there’s a real difference in how that plays out on the job.
Our team brings over 30 years of combined home improvement experience, and we carry two named cabinet brands J&K and JSI both built on all-wood construction standards. You’re not getting mystery inventory. You know what you’re buying, and you can look both brands up before we show up at your door.
We’re also BBB A+ accredited, owner-operated, and set up to handle cabinets, flooring, and tile under one roof. For homeowners in Colonial Charters, Long Bay Club, or anywhere along the Highway 9 corridor near Longs, that means one point of contact from start to finish not three contractors trying to coordinate around each other’s schedules.
It starts with a conversation about your space what you have now, what’s not working, and what you actually want. From there, samples come to you. Not a showroom in a strip mall where everything looks good under controlled lighting, but your actual kitchen, your actual bathroom, your actual countertops and flooring. That’s where cabinet decisions make sense.
Once you’ve landed on a direction, we take measurements and configure your order. J&K and JSI both offer a wide range of door styles, finishes, and interior configurations including corner cabinet solutions, pantry cabinet layouts, and bathroom vanity options with integrated sinks. The goal is a cabinet setup that fits your space, not one that’s been squeezed into it.
Installation is handled by the same team you’ve been working with. In Longs, cabinet replacement alone typically doesn’t require a Horry County building permit but if your project involves moving plumbing or adding new electrical circuits, that changes. We can walk you through what applies to your specific scope before anything is ordered. No surprises at the end.

Whether you’re redoing a kitchen in one of the newer Highway 57 corridor builds or updating a master bath in an established Long Bay Club home, our cabinet options cover the full range. Kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, bathroom vanity with sink configurations, pantry cabinets, corner cabinets, bathroom storage cabinets, kitchen pantry cabinets it’s all available through J&K and JSI, and it’s all built on all-wood boxes.
Bathroom vanities in Longs take a beating. The combination of daily steam and ambient coastal humidity is about as hard on cabinet materials as it gets. An all-wood vanity with a quality finish holds up in that environment in a way that a particle board box simply won’t especially under the sink, where moisture exposure is highest and failure shows up first.
For Longs homeowners working with a renovation budget, 12-month no-interest financing is available. A full kitchen cabinet replacement typically runs in the $5,000 to $15,000 range depending on scope and configuration. Bathroom vanity projects generally fall between $1,500 and $5,000. Our shop-at-home model keeps the process simple, and our ability to price match means you’re not paying a premium just because you want quality.
In most cases, no. Replacing like-for-like kitchen cabinets in Longs meaning you’re swapping out the old cabinets without moving plumbing, relocating electrical, or making structural changes typically does not require a building permit through Horry County. Since Longs is an unincorporated community, all permit and code compliance goes through the Horry County Building Department rather than a city office, which is worth knowing if you’ve dealt with municipal permitting in other states.
That said, if your remodel involves moving a sink, adding under-cabinet lighting on a new circuit, or reconfiguring the kitchen layout in any structural way, a permit may be required. The best approach is to confirm the scope of your project with us before anything is ordered we can help you understand what applies to your specific job so you’re not caught off guard mid-project.
All-wood construction is the clear answer for Longs and the rest of coastal South Carolina. Particle board and MDF the materials used in most builder-grade and budget cabinets absorb moisture over time. In Longs, where ambient humidity stays elevated for most of the year and bathrooms see daily steam on top of that, the degradation process accelerates. You’ll see it first under the sink or near the dishwasher: swelling, warping, screw holes that won’t hold, doors that won’t close right.
Solid wood boxes handle moisture exposure significantly better. They hold fasteners through years of use, they don’t delaminate, and they age in a way that composite materials simply don’t. For Longs homeowners investing in a kitchen or bathroom they plan to stay in or eventually sell in a market that’s appreciated over 240% since 2000 the material decision matters more than most people realize before they’ve had to replace cabinets twice.
Both are all-wood cabinet lines, which is the baseline requirement for anything going into a coastal South Carolina home. Where they differ is primarily in style range, price point, and finish options. J&K tends to offer a broader selection at a competitive price, making it a strong fit for full kitchen remodels where you’re covering a lot of square footage and want quality without overspending. JSI sits in a similar tier but with some distinct style and finish options that work particularly well for bathroom vanity applications and more design-forward kitchen configurations.
In practical terms, the right choice depends on your space, your layout, and what you’re trying to accomplish visually. Our shop-at-home process helps here seeing both lines in your actual kitchen or bathroom, against your existing flooring and countertops, makes the decision a lot clearer than comparing door samples under showroom lighting. We can walk you through both options and help you land on what makes sense for your specific project.
For a standard kitchen cabinet replacement removing the old cabinets and installing new ones in the same configuration most projects are completed in one to two days once materials are on-site. Larger kitchens or more complex layouts, like those with significant corner cabinet work or full pantry cabinet integration, can run a day or two longer depending on scope.
The part of the timeline that varies most is lead time on the cabinets themselves. Once your order is configured and placed, delivery typically runs two to four weeks depending on the line and finish selected. We’ll give you a realistic timeline at the start so you can plan around it especially relevant if you’re timing a kitchen remodel around the holidays, which is one of the busier renovation windows in the Longs area. Getting your project started in the fall gives you the best chance of having everything done before Thanksgiving.
Yes, and it’s often the more efficient way to approach it. When you’re already coordinating a cabinet project measurements, ordering, scheduling installation adding a bathroom vanity or bathroom storage cabinet to the same order doesn’t significantly complicate the process. You’re working with the same team, the same brands, and the same timeline. It can also make the financing math easier, since the 12-month no-interest option covers the full project rather than splitting it into separate transactions.
The practical consideration is sequencing. Kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities don’t always need to be installed on the same day, and in some cases it makes sense to stage the work especially if flooring or tile is being done at the same time. Since we handle cabinets, flooring, and tile together, that coordination happens internally rather than between separate contractors, which keeps the project moving without the scheduling friction that typically slows multi-trade renovations down.
For a mid-market all-wood kitchen cabinet replacement in Longs, most projects fall in the $5,000 to $15,000 range. Where you land within that range depends on kitchen size, the cabinet line you choose, the door style and finish, and whether the project includes any interior upgrades like pull-out shelves, pantry cabinet configurations, or corner cabinet solutions. Bathroom vanity projects typically run $1,500 to $5,000 depending on size and whether you’re going with a vanity with sink included.
Longs sits in a middle-market price range for the Grand Strand, and the investment reflects that. Homes here have appreciated significantly median values have climbed from around $71,000 in 2000 to over $240,000 today which means quality cabinet work tends to hold its value well at resale. Custom cabinets are documented to return 70 to 80 percent of their cost when the home sells, which makes the math worth thinking through if you’re planning to be in your home for another five to ten years. Our 12-month no-interest financing option makes the upfront cost more manageable without changing what you’re able to get.
