Experience: · Thirty years of Kitchen & Bath Design · Twenty years of Drafting · Fifteen years of CAD design

In 1974, Terry and his brother established Braaten Cabinets. Some years later, Terry decided that his main love for the business lay within the design aspect and since then, he has specialized in that particular area.

Design Philosophy: Terry's main objective is to listen to his clients’ wants and needs and then develop cabinet design solutions that will surpass their expectations. He enjoys generating computer floor plans and 3D renderings to enhance the customers’ perspective of what they are going to purchase before the project is started. He feels there is nothing like the satisfaction that comes from converting a client's dream project into a reality.
