In 1959, Jake Mullet begins building custom kitchen cabinetry, with no shop in which to work and very limited tools, in the heart of Ohio's Amish Furniture Country. However, his dream is to someday have his own shop with modern tools (including sharp saw blades) instead of moving from job to job for his work.
In June of 1965, Jake is offered a job in a small custom cabinet shop owned by Freeman Hostetler at the rate of $1.75 per hour. The business is located in a building rented from another Fryburg resident. Jake accepts the position and a special family legacy unfolds. Dean's first tasks include sweeping floors, filling nail holes, and sanding cabinets.
At approximately this same time, the first shop is built on the current Mullet Cabinet premises. It measures only 32 feet by 65 feet (a meager 2,080 square feet.) Unfortunately, a paint room fire destroys the new facility in 1974. However, it is soon after this disaster that Freeman Hostetler offers Jake the opportunity to buy the business.

We have Mullet cabinet in our new home and absolutely love them! Nicole is amazing she provided the best customer service from any vendor in the entire home building process. From the design phase to production and during installation and service after the sale she was simply amazing. I would recommend Mullet for best in the area hands down for price and quality and workmanship.

We had Mullet Cabinets installed for our new home kitchen and all baths 2014. The cabinets are amazing! And not much more expensive than cheaper Medallion cabinets that we had used previously. The quality is so much superior to ready made cabinets. They can make cabinets to fit your space exactly without fillers. They are truly custom and the cabinets are very sturdy, made to last.
