EXCELLENCE IN COLLABORATION
Grainda Builders & Rowan Custom Cabinets, Inc.
Meet Darrell Efird, the man behind Rowan Custom Cabinets Inc., one of our go-to cabinetry experts.
The key to a successful project lies in not only our skilled Grainda Builders team, but also in our strategic partnerships. Today, we’d like to spotlight one such partner who has been instrumental in our success — Darrell Efird, the owner of Rowan Custom Cabinets, Inc.
Darrell came into our circle back in 2005 when a client recommended his services. As a custom builder, we are always open to new collaborations that help us meet our clients’ unique needs. The moment we saw Darrell’s work, we never looked back.
Since then, Darrell and his team at Rowan Custom Cabinets, Inc. have been responsible for the majority of Grainda’s cabinetry. Much like us, Darrell doesn’t limit himself to one style. His focus is on honing his craft and improving his techniques, making him an invaluable asset to our projects.


Working in Tandem
One of the things we appreciate most about working with Darrell is his dedication to the process. From initial design consultations to final installations, Darrell is there every step of the way. Our clients are always welcome to visit his shop, experience his operation firsthand, and be part of the creation process.
The moment when Darrell’s cabinets are installed in a home is always exciting. It’s when our clients can truly start to see their vision come to life. This transition from planning to manifestation is a testament to Darrell’s meticulous craftsmanship and the seamless integration of his work with ours.
Key to our partnership with Darrell is effective communication and coordination. Providing accurate information, coordinating around wires, gas lines, plumbing, appliances, and even the thickness of stone, everything falls into place perfectly with Darrell. He is a shining example of what it means to have a trade partner who can deliver excellence while working in tandem with us.

A Trusted Trade Partner
We worked with Rowan Custom Cabinets, Inc. on both of the projects featured in this newsletter. Our condo renovation client was overjoyed with the custom cabinetry in their kitchen, laundry, pantry, and bathroom, and the level of detail and custom features Darrell brought to the project truly left an impression.
As for the Lake Norman renovation, our client was equally impressed with the beautiful and functional custom cabinetry and built-ins throughout their home.
From the kitchen and bar to the laundry and pantry, every area was thoughtfully considered. Even the foyer received built-ins tailor fit to their home.
We’ve had the privilege of working with Darrell for over 15 years, fostering a partnership that our clients have come to rely on. He shares our passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces, and we are proud to have him as a trade partner of Grainda Builders.
