From Clutter to Craftsmanship
How Alpine Cabinet Company Built a 40-Year Legacy in Garage Organization
In the world of home improvement, few transformations are as satisfying as turning a cluttered, chaotic garage into an organized, functional space. For Alpine Cabinet Company, this transformation isn’t just a service—it’s a mission that began in 1984 with one messy garage and a vision for something better.
A Simple Need Sparked a Lasting Business
The origins of Alpine Cabinet Company are refreshingly personal.
“Our garage was a mess,” recall founders Ron and Nancy Bonanno. “We threw together shelves from cinderblocks and 2x4s. It was ugly—and nothing stayed in place.”
Frustrated, Nancy pushed for a cleaner solution. Ron turned to his best friend Russ, who owned a small cabinet shop. Together, they built real, custom cabinets—functional, durable, and aesthetically appealing. Friends and neighbors quickly took notice. What began as a weekend fix revealed a market need few were meeting: stylish, long-lasting storage solutions for the garage.
That early insight sparked Alpine Cabinet Company—a business founded on the belief that even the most utilitarian spaces deserve quality and care.
40+ Years of Solving a Universal Problem
Garages often become the catch-all for tools, décor, sports gear, and random clutter. For over four decades, Alpine has made it their business to solve that problem.
“All of our customers have one thing in common—a disorganized garage,” Ron notes. “We help them reclaim that space with custom cabinetry that brings order and purpose.”
Whether the job is simple or fully customized, Alpine approaches each project with the same attention to detail. Their longevity is rooted in exceeding expectations and delivering consistent results—one garage at a time.
Craftsmanship That Stands Apart
In a world dominated by mass production and shortcuts, Alpine Cabinet Company insists on craftsmanship.
“We don’t take shortcuts,” says Ron. “Our cabinets are screwed and glued, not nailed or stapled. And instead of cheap pins, we use a proprietary heavy-duty metal Z-bracket to secure our shelves.”
These choices aren’t just cosmetic—they’re structural. Designed to withstand the weight of heavy tools, extreme garage temperatures, and long-term use, Alpine’s cabinets are built to last. This unwavering commitment to quality has earned the company a loyal following, with customers returning decades later to outfit new homes or referring Alpine to the next generation.
Built on Family, Fueled by Pride
Alpine is more than a business—it’s a family legacy. In 1996, Ron and Nancy’s son Travis joined the shop floor. Over time, he immersed himself in the company’s operations and values. Today, he serves as part-owner and CFO, helping guide the company into its next era.
“Watching Travis step into a leadership role has been one of the proudest moments of my career,” Ron shares. “It means everything to see him carry our vision forward—and elevate it.”
Customer Service as a Cornerstone
At Alpine, customer service isn’t a department—it’s a company-wide philosophy.
From initial consultation to final installation, the team listens, customizes, and delivers with precision.
“Great customer service is everything,” Ron says. “It’s what keeps a business alive. Most of our growth comes from repeat clients and referrals. That only happens when people know you care—and trust you’ll stand behind your work.”
That philosophy is reinforced by their A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, a distinction that reflects Alpine’s ethical business practices and consistent customer satisfaction.
Looking Ahead Without Losing Sight
As garage organization becomes more essential—driven by real estate trends, lifestyle shifts, and the rise of remote work—Alpine is well-positioned for the future. The company continues to innovate in design, materials, and space planning while staying grounded in the values that built their reputation.
At its core, Alpine Cabinet Company isn’t just about cabinetry. It’s about solutions. It’s about family. And it’s about showing what’s possible when passion meets purpose.
