Ida Damage & Rebuild report Delta Cabinet Door Co.
UPDATED 10/11/21

OPENING SOON

Stay in close tune for a complete reopen announcement coming soon. Thank you all for your patience.

The shop has started production already with a skeleton crew working on jobs that were already in progress and had to be completed to honor our obligations to our past and existing accounts.

As with all major life changing events of the past, we are re-examining our business model and likely will be making some changes. These changes will be designed to help accommodate the need for help that so many have.

There is, and there will be many more people in this city that need help right now. We are going to do whatever we can to assure that we put systems in place to help the maximum amount of people in the least amount of time.

We will likely put limits on "Luxury work" if not a complete moratorium on accepting jobs that are not of critical infrastructure to ones home. In other words, In this environment of limited resources and critical need, homeowners who lack a kitchen sink, or a vanity for their kids to brush their teeth, will get our priority over another customer who may want a unique china-cabinet for the holidays.

Upon our reopening announcement, we'll post a target schedule for jobs in progress. And, the display room will be open again for appointments.

Please get in line now by entering a brief description of your project needs and we'll be in touch just as soon as possible.

Please be patient. We are worth it!

To get on our list, Please select this link and lets get started.

Please provide some contact information.

Ida Damage & Rebuild report Delta Cabinet Door Co.
UPDATED 9/27/21

As stated in earlier posts, Our facility (Shop and Offices) Delta Cabinet Doors, a Division of D&L Grinding Co Inc. located at 304 Hord St, Suites #304, #302, #300 in Harahan, New Orleans, LA 70123 sustained moderate-severe damage in hurricane Ida.

Progress is being made toward our reopening.
The A/C has been repaired, Thanks to Vanderbrook & Son A/C Services. Highly recommended, BTW. We’ve gotten a good bit of the damaged interior cleaned up and repairs are ongoing.

Unfortunately, as of today, the facility is still inoperable due to lacking essential service IE; Telephone, Internet, and some other electric issues.

Despite receiving an email message from Cox Communications that our phone and Internet were in fact restored, the system is still inoperable.
I’ve been commuting from Bay St Louis in my free time (dealing with a destroyed home, and car) in effort to get the business facility sufficient again for business. (See Damon Eskine’s personal FB post upcoming on 9/28/21 for info on Damon and Donald’s home).

Time restraints from the Homefront rebuild have had us circling the metro area from Bay Saint Louis, to Manchac, and to Harahan in traffic that is absolutely deplorable! I’ve managed to get in there a few times lately in my “Free-Time”, lol. I went in to the shop Friday night/ Sat Morning and at 2:00 AM and held on the phone with Cox for 3 hours trying to get our business phone/internet system up in-house rather than wait for the tech to come out.

Cox tech-support advised the modem needs replacing from a likely surge due to lightning. I was first in line at Best-Buy Saturday morning after sleeping 2 hours on a workbench in the shop. After another 3 hours on the phone with Cox again Saturday, The modem was deemed defective and advised to be replaced. Love it!!! Grrrrrr!!!. Back to Best Buy to swap out the bad modem. I was the last customer in the place in the evening as they were closing. Replaced the modem, Spent another 3 hours on with Cox tech-support to learn that the line into the building IS NOT LIVE! Fun Fun!

After giving it everything we’ve got making the necessary repairs in-house, A last resort, we’ll be waiting for the Cox tech to come out for a service call and get us live again. It is a shame how reliant we have become to internet! Phone, Computers, Cameras, Security, Accounts, A/C Thermostat, Doorbell, Communications and More.

We will remain temporarily closed until these essential services are restored.

This damage and all of these domino-effect aftermaths that are directly related to hurricane Ida on August 29, 2021 has progress on all Jobs in remaining status “temporarily suspended”.

We’ve been in touch with all active customers and will be honoring each agreement, or addendum to agreements as we’ve discussed. Again, our deepest apologies to all and thank you for your understanding our woes in this trying time.

In coming days, as in the past week, Delta administrators and/or key personnel will be in & out of the facility with volunteer helpers and/or non affiliated workmen (contractors) continuing getting the place in working order.

Shop work will resume as soon as circumstances allow.

We will begin looking at new jobs (Giving Estimates) again as soon as the circumstances allow. Our backlog of new leads are becoming as backlogged as production services, So please everyone, Just more patience and time is what this will take to get through.

Anyone that wants to get on our list of new projects should fill out a form at the “Get Estimate’ tab of our website: at www.DeltaCabinetProducts.com. and someone will be in touch, or a referral issued as soon as possible.

Ida Damage & Rebuild report Delta Cabinet Door Co. 9/21/21

Dear Valued Customers, Vendors, Affiliates and Friends,

It’s official. Our assumptions and preliminary notices regarding the business of Delta Cabinet Doors, a Division of D&L Grinding Co Inc. were pretty accurate.

Our Hord Street facility got hit pretty hard. It's Crippled, but not a total loss.

Our facility Located at 304 Hord St, Suites #304, #302, #300 in Harahan, New Orleans, LA 70123 sustained moderate-severe damage to the exterior of the building. The doors blew in, front flashing on the building blew off, interior walls and ceilings collapsed and caved in. Rain saturated most interior structures, material, inventory, products, tools, and equipment. The interior structures (our offices) have been rattled and structural evaluations for these are necessary and in the works. Most of the roof held up, which is good. Some leaks occurred, but the structure held for the most part.

Some, but not all of partially fabricated cabinet parts for the jobs in progress have been affected. Each order, (job on progress) are being evaluated on a case-by-case basis and compared to the insurance payout proposals to help determine what solutions are available for each project related.

We will be temporarily closed until essential services are restored. Currently, the facility on Hord Street is useless, There exists Damaged Tools & Equipment, and Lack of essential services, infrastructure, and staff. Most of our staff including administrators Damon and Donald Eskine homes were destroyed. Our home, in the little town of Akers at the northern tip of St. John parish at the Tangipahoa line was completely destroyed along with one of our cars. Other staffers have challenges at their homes as well.

This damage directly related to hurricane Ida on August 29, 2021 has rendered our production and progress on open jobs “temporarily suspended”.

We have no AC, No internet, Limited electric, No phone service and a massive amount of clean up to do. At a time we need these essential services the most, they are at their worst for the very same reason. IE; Phone, Internet, AC, Staff, Etc.

Customers and Vendors with which we hold open business and/or under sales contract may rest assure, we'll be following through with our obligations only on a new timeline once one can be established.

Jobs-in-progress will be completed and or otherwise made whole. We’ll be in touch with everyone on an individual basis as new plans are made. Insurance and legal evaluations are ongoing. Conclusions and available options for each case are pending.

In coming days, Delta administrators and/or key personnel will be in & out of the facility with volunteer helpers and/or non affiliated workmen (contractors) getting the place repaired and in working order.

From experience, we know there is certain to be an oncoming tidal wave of business oncoming from the thousands of other fellow hurricane rebuilders. Our goal is to be ready for them.

We will be working with our insurance company on a case by case basis for the individual values of the jobs in progress determining exact value-added up until the date of the catastrophe.

We ask at this time everyone please be patient. Even in a best case scenario, things are going to take some time. We’ll release a targeted re-open date as well as new production schedule as soon as one can be established. We will be back just as soon as we possibly can get the facility back into working order.

New Orders:
As of now, We plan to begin looking at new jobs (Giving Estimates) again on Oct-1-2021. Anyone that wants to get on our list of new projects should fill out a form at the “Get Estimate’ tab of our website: at www.DeltaCabinetProducts.com. and someone will be in touch, or a referral issued.

Help Wanted:
Delta will be seeking career minded, young, healthy, reliable individuals interested in learning a trade.
No experience is necessary. We will train to suit.
Young individuals who haven’t chosen a career path will benefit from the training working directly under a master craftsman.
In a world where most jobs, young folks work under a supervisor who barely knows anything more than the trainee,
Delta Cabinet Door Co will be offering a once in a lifetime opportunity for a few young men.

Thank you for your understanding and prayers in this trying time. We pray that you and yours are in glory, as we are sure you are all undergoing your own challenges at this time.

Delta Cabinet Door's Entergy power came back online, post Ida, on Friday 9/10/21. We do expect to start back a skeleton-staff sometime between 9/13/21-9/20/21 and doing what we can to begin recovery. There is still much uncertainty surrounding the situation and condition of our shop, materials, and inventory for jobs-in-progress. A full assessment is yet to be performed by our administration, insurance adjusters, for business and property etc. We have some work ahead of us. We will keep everyone updated here on Facebook of progress as it unfolds. Our phone lines and Internet service is still down as of the same time. Please email at the address provided in this page if you need to get in touch. God bless you and you're family. Our prayers go out to all our neighbors effected by this Hurricane Ida.

New Orleans Premier Custom Cabinetmakers

Damon Eskine is at the heart of the Delta Cabinet Door & Cabinets operation featuring unique custom kitchen designs under Eskine Group LLC. Damon started in the cabinetry business as a sole proprietor in 1987, Damon has been cabinetmaking and remodeling kitchens for over 32 years in the New Orleans area. After graduating Cabinetmaking school with honors at LA Tech in 1987, Damon was hired as General Manager, and Kitchen Designer at a local Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturer/Retailer. From these early years, as it is today, Damon works as Manager of the cabinet company that manufactures the products needed in the creation of Magnificent Kitchens while growing and holding his own sole proprietorship which offers his intellectual services. IE: Design, CAD, Management, Marketing, Project Coordination, Consultation. The product and service list that span our capabilities, and that we have in our portfolio is vast! With custom work, the possibilities are endless. It is this very diverse capability that we accredit our long-term survival. Products that have been the majority and have kept coming back into demand are the ones we specialize in today. These are: Cabinet Doors, Custom Cabinets, Cabinet Refacing Supply, and Custom Fabrication of wood products like Countertops, and Hoods. We sell to Homeowners, Contractors, Companies, Cabinet Companies, and Individuals.

History of Damon Eskine and Delta Cabinet Door Co and Cabinets as a Company.

After Damon’s start in the business in 1987, Damon resigned employment with his first employer in 1995 to pursue his own path under his own proprietorship. In the aftermath of a messy divorce in 1999, Damon, along with long-time family friend, Steve Lee (Uncle Steve), joined forces in 2003 to form ‘Delta Cabinet Door and Cabinets’ as a division under Mr. Lee’s already operating company ‘D and L Grinding Co Inc’. At the start, Cabinet Door manufacturing, sold wholesale to other cabinet companies, was going to be our exclusive product offering. This plan worked fine for a while. Our main customers were Cabinetmakers and Kitchen retailers. Just about the time this business model had matured and we began to turn a profit, Katrina hit! This changed everything! The roadways to our customers were literally laying on the floor of Lake Ponchartrain. Needless to say, We would not be delivering any Cabinet Doors anytime soon. With that door closed, the good Lord opened a window for us. We soon had 10+ homeowners per day walking in our shop asking, sometime begging us to build their Cabinets. We quickly adapted, re-tooled, re-educated our staff, and Spoof!, Delta Cabinet Door Co., overnight was Delta Cabinet Doors & Cabinets. On August 29th of 2005, we were given a violent shove into the cabinet business. Fortunately, to the benefit of the survival of the company Damon had previous experience and formal education in Cabinetmaking and Kitchen Design.

In 2005, we added “Cabinets” to the “Cabinet Doors” of our offering. Soon after, we registered the name “Delta Cabinets” as a trade name to our parent company D&L Grinding Co. After a few bouts with other companies trying to use our good name, then other Delta’s, and D&L’s popping up around town, our website heading had to include “New Orleans” to differentiate us from the imitators. Aside from all the name confusions, Katrina victims were literally begging and pleading to help them get back into their homes as soon as possible. This was a very tough, and confusing time for everyone. Our business model and direction were unclear at this time. We didn’t want to hold up anyone up from getting back to their homes, we continued on offering the various products all under “Delta” referencing the offerings of D&L Grinding Co. ‘Custom Cabinetry’ and ‘Cabinets’ to the ‘Delta’ of our registered trade names. We then turned our focus to helping folks move back home.

Before realizing a full recovery from Katrina, Damon had an accident and fell ill to some pretty serious health matters. Two doctors had advised Damon to quit working and go on government disability. The future seemed bleak. Damon rallied to, and conquered a challenge of rehabilitation and recovery that would seem almost impossible to many people.

After some time, and a moderate level of recovery had been achieved on Damon’s part, Damon, with help of brother, Don Eskine Jr, had the idea for a new venture they could do together. Don had recently relocated back to NOLA from Sarasota Florida. Damon, with Don’s assistance, formed Eskine Group LLC. with the original idea of becoming a remodeling contractor. As a registered remodeling contractor, Eskine Group LLC would perform installation work, and other remodeling service centered around the peripheral needs of customers who purchased Delta/D&L products. This model worked out well for a short while before more ill health, family matters, and the demands of running 2 businesses took it’s toll. in 2018, Eskine Group LLC discontinued all operations under this model. Eskine Group LLC now only offers Design and Consulting services only. Eskine Group LLC Kitchen Designs and Consultation by Damon Eskine are available exclusively through Delta/D&L. Aside from his primary duties as General Manager of Delta/D&L, Damon is an independent freelance Kitchen Designer, Consultant. These services, and other intellectual property service of Damon Eskine are available to Delta customers by Damon Eskine through Eskine Group LLC. This is offered as a convenience to, and benefit of, in effort to incentivize and smoothen the path for the purchase of Delta/D&L products. These services are available to Delta/D&L customers, through Delta/D&L exclusively.

Today, these 2 company’s, with Damon back to full health, and staff reduced down to the best of the past 30 years, we are back to the course we charted years back. We do more of what we do best. We build Custom Cabinets for New Construction homes, We provide materials for and Reface Cabinets for existing homes, We Custom Fabricate Cabinetry to specifications, and do Wood Countertops.

If there is anything, we can help you with. Please call today and lets get it started.

Thank You,
