What Area Homeowners Are Saying...
Al built a beautiful shed for my family in a remote area, and it was probably the nicest shed ever built. Thanks Al!
Alan is a skilled professional carpenter who was great to work with on our kitchen project. He listen to our ideas and gave fantastic advice on how to meet our needs efficiently and economically.
We couldn't be more happy with the bathroom Alan did for our special needs daughter! He was amazing from beginning to end! Couldn't recommend him more!
Alan did a great job helping us repair a sagging kitchen cabinet. You figured out a way to do this. It saved a lot of time and money and created a great result. I would definitely recommend him.
We loved having Alan work on our recent house project! He was a great communicator from start to finish.
Every time we have worked with Alan, we knew the job would be done right, he is a craftsman , and the work reflects that. Jane
"My kitchen remodel - I am 100% happy to say looks just like what I had envisioned. Selecting Alan Paulson as the general contractor for the remodel was the best decision.

The problem
You know you want new cabinets. Where do you start?
New cabinets are a real investment, and the details that separate a solid install from a frustrating one are not obvious until something goes wrong.
- You want the finished kitchen to look built-in, not bolted on
- You are not sure which installers do the full finish work, crown molding, scribing, toe kicks, versus those who stop at hanging the boxes
- Structural reinforcement behind the walls rarely comes up in a quote, and you have no way to know whether it is included
- Advice from different contractors points in different directions, with no clear way to compare what you are actually getting
Knowing what to ask, and who to ask it to, is where most people get stuck.
What we do about it
One Person, Every Phase, No Handoffs
Alan Paulson handles every phase of the installation directly. The first step is a free on-site visit where he looks at the actual walls, measures what is there, and tells you exactly what the job involves.
- Every cabinet run laser-leveled to within 1/8" across three planes
- Structural wall blocking installed behind the walls to carry heavy stone countertops
- Custom scribing fitted to uneven walls and ceilings, no heavy caulk to hide the gaps
- Crown molding, light rails, toe kicks, and trim integrated so the run looks fully built-in
- Floors and surfaces protected throughout, jobsite left clean
Many Onalaska homes were built in the 1960s and 1980s. Framing of that age was not designed to carry the load of modern stone countertops without added support. Wall blocking is not an upsell here, it is a concrete structural step tied to what those walls actually need.
Cabinets installed to the tolerance stone countertops demand, finished so they look like they were always there.
Over 25 years of precision carpentry, including time spent as a carpentry instructor, is what sets the standard for how this work is done.

Questions
Questions About Cabinet Installation in Onalaska
- What does kitchen cabinet installation cost in Onalaska?
Each project is quoted on what it actually needs, so no flat rate is given until Alan visits the home and assesses the run, the walls, and the finish carpentry required. The things that move the cost most are the length of the cabinet run, the condition and framing of the walls behind it, and the scope of finish work such as crown molding, scribing, and trim.
A free on-site quote is provided with a response within one business day.
- Is there a cabinet installer near me in Onalaska, WI?
Yes. Choice Home Solutions, LLC is based in La Crescent, MN, roughly five miles from Onalaska in a straight line, and Alan Paulson works in person at the home for every installation.
He visits the site for the initial quote and is present throughout every phase of the project.
- Do older Onalaska homes need extra wall reinforcement before cabinet installation?
Many homes in the area were built in the 1960s and 1980s, and framing from that period was not engineered to carry the load of modern stone countertops. Structural wall blocking and load-bearing reinforcement are included with every installation by Choice Home Solutions, LLC, not quoted as an add-on.
The on-site visit confirms what the specific walls need before any work begins.
- Is finish carpentry, crown molding, toe kicks, and scribing included, or is that a separate cost?
It is included. Choice Home Solutions, LLC completes crown molding, light rails, custom scribing to uneven walls and ceilings, flush toe kicks, and full trim integration as part of every cabinet installation.
The goal is a run that looks fully built-in from wall to wall, not boxes hung and called done.
- Who actually does the installation work?
Alan Paulson does the work himself, every phase, from structural reinforcement to final trim. There is no crew and no handoff to a subcontractor. One person handles the project from the first visit to the final walkthrough, so the standard stays consistent throughout.
- How precise is the leveling, and why does it matter for stone countertops?
Every cabinet run is laser-leveled to within 1/8" tolerance using 3-plane laser technology. Stone countertops are heavy and unforgiving, so a run that is not flat and level to that degree will show stress, gaps, or cracking at the countertop over time.
The structural wall blocking installed behind the walls completes the foundation those countertops need to perform long-term.
- How quickly will I hear back after requesting a quote?
Choice Home Solutions, LLC responds within one business day of any inquiry. The quote itself is given in person, at the home, so Alan can see the actual walls, ceiling lines, and layout before naming a figure. There is no charge for the on-site visit.
- Onalaska issued nearly 500 residential remodeling permits in 2024. Does that affect scheduling?
The city's 2024 Housing Affordability Report counted 499 residential remodeling permits for single-family and two-family homes in a single year, which reflects how much renovation work is active across established neighborhoods here. Because Alan Paulson handles every project directly, capacity is finite.
The clearest way to confirm timing is to request the free on-site quote, which comes with a response within one business day.
