UNIONDALE, NY / ACCESS Newswire / March 12, 2025 / Marquis Who's Who honors Floyd A. Slavey for his expertise in entrepreneurship and woodworking. As the founder of Slavey's Custom Cabinets in Somerset, Kentucky, Mr. Slavey is an accomplished professional in woodworking, dedicating nearly two decades to his role as the owner of his company.
From Farming to Founder
Mr. Slavey began his work experience on a farm alongside his father, where he developed his work ethic. Both embarked on a new adventure: opening a garage, where Mr. Slavey dedicated four years to automotive mechanics. After their time in the garage, Mr. Slavey and his father transitioned to the logging industry for three years. However, after his father endured a medical incident, Mr. Slavey shifted to cabinet making out of necessity.
Mr. Slavey's professional cabinet making experience began at KL Caseworks, where he spent 14 years proudly crafting commercial cabinets for schools, hospitals and high-end custom kitchens. This experience was pivotal in developing his expertise and passion for woodworking, ultimately leading him to specialize in residential cabinets.
Propelled forward by his passion and expertise, Mr. Slavey launched his cabinet business in 2006. Slavey's Custom Cabinets highlights his entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to his craft. Despite beginning this new venture with trepidation at the prospect of self-employment, he has overcome uncertainty and continues to pour his passion into every project.
Under Mr. Slavey's leadership, Slavey's Custom Cabinets has flourished in a competitive market. Now, after nearly 18 years in business, Mr. Slavey is enjoying great success due to his perseverance and skill.
Mr. Slavey's company is working on four to five large custom projects and creating cabinets for nearly 40 apartments and houses in their factory. Dedicated to his specialization, he embarks on many projects for homeowners and employs five builders to build their cabinets. Mr. Slavey has noticed that, in recent years, homeowners have been requesting more stained cabinets, a demand he has been meeting.
The Foundation to Success
Mr. Slavey is dedicated to honesty and integrity, which have been the foundation of his success. By consistently following through on his promises and ensuring his actions align with his words, his reliable reputation, in both professional and personal matters, has significantly helped him build trust with clients and colleagues.
The Guidance from Mentors
Pivotal to Mr. Slavey's success in woodworking was his mentor at KL Caseworks. Under the guidance of this mentor, Mr. Slavey learned the intricate techniques necessary to create high-quality cabinets. The valuable lessons he absorbed at KL Caseworks helped him master both craftsmanship and attention to detail, which has benefited him in this field. Mr. Slavey's application of these lessons to his own business has ensured that he crafts quality pieces, reflecting the precision he was taught.
Mr. Slavey envisions a future in which he maintains his current work ventures while focusing on building financial stability to allow him to retire comfortably. While he remains passionate about his work, he aims to achieve a better work-life balance and looks forward to reaching retirement age with a sense of accomplishment.
