Company
Custom-built from the ground up.
Design. Build. Install.
Crafted for your home.
Founded by brothers Peter and Andy Bargende in 1989, Faneuil Kitchen Cabinet was built on the core belief that great design should always be integrated with expert craftsmanship and hands-on installation. Over decades and thousands of custom projects, their commitment to quality raised the bar for cabinetry and millwork throughout the Massachusetts and beyond.
In 2007, Michael Ritson joined the company and quickly became an essential part of the team. With a strong dedication to craftsmanship and leadership, he played a key role in shaping the company’s future and eventually stepped into a management role.
Alex Bargende, Andy’s son, joined the business in 2012. Immersed in all aspects of the company, Alex brings a sharp eye for design and a strong focus on project management. His work ensures each project is both beautifully executed and seamlessly delivered from concept to completion.
Today, Michael and Alex co-manage Faneuil Kitchen Cabinet, carrying forward the legacy built by Peter and Andy while continuing to evolve the business with fresh ideas, deep expertise, and a shared commitment to excellence.
For over three decades, Faneuil Kitchen Cabinet has remained a proud, family-rooted company—known for its craftsmanship, integrity, and enduring client relationships.

Alex Bargende
Alex Bargende grew up in Hingham, Massachusetts, where he developed an early appreciation for craftsmanship and hard work. Throughout high school and college, Alex spent his summers working in the family shop, starting from the ground up — sweeping floors, making dumpster runs, and learning every part of the operation.
