About On the Level Countertops

At On the Level Countertops, we have spent more than 20 years building a reputation in Ocean and Monmouth County communities for dependable craftsmanship and straightforward service. Our company was built on the idea that homeowners and contractors deserve more than rushed timelines and one-size-fits-all solutions. We fabricate our laminate countertops and laminate cabinetry locally, right here in Lakewood, NJ, allowing us to maintain quality control while supporting the community we live and work in. From the beginning, our goal has been simple: create functional, well-built kitchens and spaces that truly fit the people who use them every day.

Rooted in Lakewood & the Surrounding Communities

Living and working in Lakewood gives us a deep understanding of local homes and lifestyles. From established neighborhoods near Route 9 to newer developments throughout Ocean County, homes here see heavy use and changing seasons. Humid summers, cold winters, and busy family schedules all affect how cabinets and countertops perform over time. Because we work locally, we design and fabricate with these realities in mind. Our close relationships with area contractors also help projects move smoothly, whether the work is part of a full remodel or a focused upgrade.

Our Cabinetry Philosophy & Trusted Sources

Cabinetry is a major part of what we do, and we take pride in offering options that balance durability, customization, and value. Our primary wood cabinet source is Fabuwood. Their cabinets range from low to high grade, offering flexibility for different budgets while maintaining consistent build quality. Features such as plywood sides and dovetail drawers come standard, and all cabinets are green certified and KCMA compliant. We also fabricate custom laminate cabinets locally for projects that call for practical, cost-effective solutions without sacrificing appearance.

Where Style Meets Surface – Get in Touch

Countertops Fabricated Close to Home

Our laminate countertops are custom made and fabricated right here in Lakewood. Working locally allows us to ensure consistent quality and faster turnaround times. We use trusted materials from Wilsonart, and Formica, all known for durability and long-term performance. Laminate remains a smart choice for many homes and commercial spaces, especially where durability, ease of maintenance, and affordability matter most. By fabricating locally, we maintain hands-on oversight from start to finish.

Led by Experience You Can Rely On

On the Level Countertops is owned and operated by Vito Paratore, who brings 50 years of experience in cabinet design and execution. That experience shapes every project we take on. Whether the job is residential or commercial, we customize the approach to fit your needs. We can manage your project from start to finish or simply supply the cabinetry or countertops you are looking for. This flexibility allows us to serve homeowners, builders, and contractors throughout the region with the same level of care and attention.

A Personal Approach in a Big-Box World

Home centers have their place, but they often leave customers feeling like just another number. We take a different approach. With decades of experience and low overhead, we are able to provide quality workmanship at competitive prices while working directly with you. We take the time to understand how you use your kitchen or space, helping design a layout that works well and looks right. Contractors and homeowners alike are welcome, and we offer discounts to repeat customers because long-term relationships matter to us.
