Our Story
Parsons Cabinetry started in the mid 1980’s when people would ask us to build models, prototypes, or basic cabinetry that they needed for their home or office. WinfieldParsons PhD was teaching courses in Manufacturing and Energy Systems as a full time professor at Montclair State University. After finishing one of MSU’s largest grants in energy research he decided to use his educational background in Engineering and Technology to develop a cabinetry manufacturing operation.
Winfield and his brother Stephen joined forces and decided they would use their technical and engineering experience to open Parsons Cabinetry as a Sub-chapter S corporation in 1987. The company quickly grew to several employees and the main manufacturing operation took shape in Paterson, NJ. The company started building custom kitchens, vanities, offices, entertainment centers, and wall units early on and continue to produce products of the highest quality today Parsons Cabinetry, established in 1988, began with a dedicated college professor of engineering and his brother with skills and talent, literally in a backyard garage. With energy, enthusiasm and the desire to please, they launched a new custom cabinet manufacturing company in Paterson, NJ, designing and building a superior product that endures while providing function and a beautiful form that continues today. Winfield and Stephen saw the value of a local, family owned and operated company that fit a niche to meet the needs of renovating older and new homes and businesses.

From those early years, the company has changed and grown to expand to residential and commercial custom cabinetry, as far reaching as California. Winfield’s (1956-2018) vision endures under the leadership of Tracy Parsons (Winfield’s wife) and brother Stephen Parsons, and with the addition of many talented team members, including son Daniel Parsons, and indispensable Mark McCarthy.
We have always prided ourselves with providing the highest quality, handcrafted custom cabinetry possible using the finest materials to our discerning clientele. We are proud of our service and dedication to our profession and clients, and our desire is to exceed expectations – and we do. All team members take great pride in the final product, and the unparalleled client care we offer – which continues long after the project is complete.
Parsons Cabinetry created its own brand of cabinets – each cabinet is individually hand-made in our Paterson production facility to the exact specifications for each project using only North American wood products. We start with raw lumber where each part is individually milled, formed and assembled to create fine cabinets and furniture of the highest caliber by dedicated craftsmen.
Over the 35+ years of service to our community, we enjoy the opportunity to work collaboratively with other design professionals in conjunction with the homeowners. We truly believe a collaborative effort will result in a superior end-product that enhances and satisfies the homeowner for years to come.
