Meet Kip Driver, the Owner and Founder of Advance Cabinetry. Kip is the third-generation owner of Advance Electric in Ga***rd, MI and expanded the business to Western North Carolina in 2009 with its primary focus being custom cabinetry. He helped start and spent several years growing the WNC branch before returning to Ga***rd a few years ago.

With Kip’s degree in business, his primary focus has been building long-term relationships with our clients, vendors and builders.

Anyone who has met Kip would agree that he has the biggest heart. WNC will always be a special place to Kip and that was never more evident with all the resources he brought after hurricane Helene.

Meet the team Monday!

Everyone meet Brent! Brent has been with Advance Cabinetry since the fall of 2021 and serves as our lead installer. Brent came to us with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the construction industry with his primary focus being on cabinet installation. He has a definite gift for thinking outside the box and gives a great deal of thought to all of our installations. His precision and attention to detail make him an invaluable member of our team.

Although Brent is usually on the quiet side most of the time, he is always the first one to pull a prank in the office and constantly keeps us on our toes.
