Family business brings dream kitchens to life in the region
APS CABINET MAKERS
BUSINESS FEATURE
A kitchen is so much more than just a place to cook, it’s the heart of the home, where stories are shared, meals are made, and memories are created. It’s a space that brings joy and connection, and no one understands that better than local cabinetmakers APS Cabinet Makers.
Founded by Grant and Jasmine, APS is a full-service cabinetmaking business with over 25 years of experience, offering personalised, start-to-finish solutions across the Douglas Shire and beyond.
Their story is a familiar one to many in Port Douglas. While travelling around Australia, they landed here and thought, “What an amazing place to live.” They never left.
“I noticed a real need for a cabinet-making business that could support the renovation community,” he said. “I knew I had the skills and experience to offer something valuable.”
“When I noticed a need for a cabinet-making business that could really support the local renovation community, I thought, why not?,” Grant said.
“I brought with me over 20 years of hands-on trade experience and knew I had something special to offer.”
Fully QBCC-licensed, APS offers a seamless in-house process, guiding clients through design, construction, and installation, all handled by the same trusted team.
“For us, it’s all about delivering on our promises,” Grant said. “Keeping it all under one roof means quality and consistency, and our clients know exactly who they’re working with.”
APS specialises in renovations, understanding the many unknowns and complexities that come with transforming existing spaces.
“One of our recent favourites was a large-scale reno for a local contractor,” Grant said. “They were blown away by the level of detail and how smoothly everything went, that’s something we take real pride in
Time management, attention to detail, and open communication are all part of the APS approach.
“Sticking to a schedule keeps everything on track, but you also need to maintain an eye for detail. Balancing both is what ensures a successful project,” Grant said.
“Many clients haven’t been through a renovation before, so they’re often surprised at how comfortable and efficient we make the process.”
As an avid cook, Grant also brings practical insight to kitchen design.
“I know how important workflow is in a kitchen, it’s not just about looks, but how the space works for you. Every project is unique, and every client’s needs are our top priority.”
Behind every project is the APS team, a small, skilled crew who share the same values: precision, pride in workmanship, and a commitment to client satisfaction.
“From the workshop to onsite installation, everyone plays a vital role,” Grant said. “We couldn’t do it without them.”
As a family-run business, APS places high value on relationships and reputation.
“A lot of our work comes from repeat clients and their referrals, which is the greatest compliment,” Grant said. “It’s a privilege to bring people’s visions to life and be part of creating a space they love.”
Whether it starts with a Pinterest board or a sketch on a napkin, APS Cabinet Makers is ready to help turn your design dream into a reality.
