I’M TANNER PATTERSON
I’m a professional cabinet installer based in Utah, with over 10 years of real experience. I started in a cabinet shop in 2014 making $10 an hour. I quickly realized the real opportunity wasn’t in the shop it was in professional installation.
Once I got on-site, everything changed. I mastered the craft, built systems that work, and installed thousands of cabinets across Utah earning a reputation for flawless work and reliability.
