About Us
Providing homeowners a sense of peace and quality service since 1955.
Our Story
In 1955, Jerry Rogers opened Rogers Kitchens and moved our Showroom to its current location, across from our shop in 1963. James Smith began his career at Rogers Kitchens as a custom cabinet and countertop fabricator, manufacturer, and installer in 1985. He has been at all but two installations since then!
In 1998, after many discussions, Jerry decided to retire, and James took over as the new owner. They wanted to ensure that Rogers Kitchens customers continued to receive the same quality service, product, design, and professional installation that they had grown accustomed to.
In 2010, James’ daughter, Courtney, started fabricating and installing with him. After a few years, Courtney moved into the business office and has since been running the office and showroom while Jim continues to do all the hands-on manufacturing and installations. We strive to make the installation of your project as easy and quick as possible.
Rogers Kitchens offers full service as well as retail sales. We can complete your project from start to finish while you sit back and watch the transformation or we can sell you the products, so you can get started on your own do-it-yourself project. Rogers Kitchens takes pride in being a small family business. It enables us to give each customer our full attention in the design and installation processes of their renovation or remodeling project.
