In Stock Today Cabinets Launches IST Loyalty Rewards Program for Construction Professionals Amid Labor Shortage Crisis
Fairfax, VA – December 19, 2025
In Stock Today Cabinets has introduced a strategic margin-protection initiative designed to help contractors, dealers, and builders navigate the dual challenges of surging renovation demand and severe workforce shortages affecting the construction industry.
The IST Loyalty Rewards Program provides automatic rebates of $100 for every $5,000 in purchases, delivering a 2% margin recovery that directly addresses rising operational costs. The program launch comes as Northern Virginia experiences a 42.2% year-over-year increase in active housing listings according to the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors October 2025 Market Report, creating unprecedented renovation opportunities for local builders.
With the median sold price in Fairfax County holding steady at $745,000 based on NVAR data, homeowners are increasingly choosing to renovate rather than relocate, driving demand for high-end kitchen and bath remodels. This surge in renovation projects coincides with critical labor challenges, as the Associated Builders and Contractors reports the industry needs to attract over 439,000 new workers in 2025 to meet demand.
As ABC Chief Economist Anirban Basu noted regarding recent forecasts, ‘The industry still must attract hundreds of thousands of new workers to balance demand and supply,’ underscoring the urgency for efficiency in procurement.
“The construction industry faces a perfect storm of opportunity and challenge,” said Emin Halac, President of IST Cabinets. “While renovation demand has never been stronger, the labor shortage forces contractors to find efficiency gains wherever possible. Our wholesale cabinets rewards program provides immediate margin relief while streamlining the procurement process through same-day pickup at our showrooms.”
The program operates through automatic point tracking, with participants earning 2 points for every dollar spent on wholesale cabinets and other products. Once customers accumulate 10,000 points, they automatically receive a $100 discount applied directly to future orders. The system tracks rewards via phone or email, requiring no membership fees or complex registration processes.
Available immediately at all In Stock Today Cabinets locations including Alexandria, Fairfax, Columbia, Houston, and Delaware, the kitchen cabinets rewards program extends across the company’s full inventory of Fabuwood and FIBO cabinetry lines. Participants can select from popular styles such as Shaker Blue, Shaker Grey, Shaker White, and collections including Allure, Quest, and Value Premium. Please note: The IST Loyalty Rewards Program excludes the Fabuwood Illume and Ovela series.
The timing of this initiative reflects broader market dynamics affecting the construction sector. As contractors face the dual pressure of meeting increased demand while managing workforce constraints, efficiency tools become essential for maintaining profitability. The ability to access ready-to-ship cabinets with same-day pickup at local showrooms addresses the time constraints that labor shortages create.
In Stock Today Cabinets specializes in providing all-plywood kitchen and bathroom cabinetry solutions for construction professionals throughout the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond. As an authorized distributor for Fabuwood and FIBO brands, the company maintains extensive in-stock inventory across multiple showroom locations, offering both ready-to-assemble and pre-assembled cabinet options. The company provides comprehensive design consultation services, detailed project quotes, and specialized contractor pricing to support construction professionals in delivering quality renovation projects efficiently.

In Stock Today Cabinets LLC Launches IST Loyalty Rewards Program for Construction Professionals
ALEXANDRIA, VA – December 15, 2025
In Stock Today Cabinets LLC announced the launch of its IST Loyalty Rewards Program designed to help contractors, dealers, builders and designers manage rising material costs while capitalizing on the Mid-Atlantic region’s construction boom. Contractors receive automatic rebates of $100 for every $5,000 in purchases, translating to a 2% margin boost that helps offset rising material costs.
The timing of the program responds to significant market dynamics affecting the construction industry. Northern Virginia experienced a 42.2% year-over-year increase in active housing units as of October 2025, with 2,562 properties available and median prices reaching $745,000 in Fairfax County. This inventory surge creates substantial opportunities for kitchen and bathroom renovations, but contractors face pressure from both material costs and severe labor shortages.
“The construction industry needs over 439,000 new workers nationally in 2025, and our Mid-Atlantic contractors are feeling this shortage acutely,” said Emin Halac, President of In Stock Today Cabinets LLC. “Our loyalty program addresses this challenge by helping existing crews work more efficiently. With same-day design consultations and 5-7 day delivery on our kitchen cabinets, contractors can complete more projects without expanding their workforce.”
The IST Loyalty Rewards Program operates through automatic point tracking, eliminating administrative overhead for busy contractors. Points accumulate with each purchase of wholesale cabinets and other products, with rewards applied directly to future orders. The program extends across all In Stock Today Cabinets locations in Alexandria, Fairfax, Columbia, Houston and Delaware.
Maryland’s infrastructure investments further amplify the need for efficient cabinet supply solutions. The state received $218 million in federal funding for infrastructure projects, while maintaining its C grade from the American Society of Civil Engineers, indicating sustained construction activity ahead. Additionally, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s multi-billion dollar expansion plans are driving demand for transit-oriented housing developments throughout the region.
The program particularly benefits contractors working on the growing number of home renovations as homeowners choose to upgrade rather than relocate in the high-priced market. With median home prices ranging from $535,000 to $745,000 across Northern Virginia, kitchen remodeling has become an attractive alternative to purchasing new properties.

In Stock Today Cabinets Responds to Rising Demand for White Oak Kitchen Cabinets Amid Biophilic Design Trend
Fairfax, VA – November 18, 2025
In Stock Today Cabinets reports a noticeable increase in requests for white oak kitchen cabinets at its Northern Virginia showrooms, aligning with the National Kitchen and Bath Association’s 2025 Kitchen Trends Report showing 59 percent of designers now prefer white oak as their primary cabinet material choice.
Over the past six months, the Fairfax-based distributor has observed a 65 percent rise in customer inquiries for white oak cabinets, based on the company’s internal sales data, reflecting a broader shift toward biophilic kitchen design that emphasizes natural materials and wellness-focused spaces. According to NKBA research, 72 percent of homeowners seek greater connection to nature through their kitchen design choices, driving demand for natural wood finishes over painted alternatives.
Homeowners in Fairfax County and beyond are showing clear preference for natural materials that foster calming, health-focused kitchens,” said Emin Halac, spokesperson for In Stock Today Cabinets. Our showroom trends mirror the NKBA’s findings on white oak’s popularity among designers, and we attribute this demand to the desire for welcoming, wellness-driven home spaces” said Emin Halac, spokesperson for In Stock Today Cabinets. “The NKBA’s finding that 59% of designers prefer white oak validates what we’re experiencing firsthand in our showroom.”
According to the NKBA, market trends also reveal a substantial shift away from painted kitchen cabinets, with designers now favoring wood grain finishes.This transition reflects growing awareness of how natural materials can reduce stress and improve wellbeing in home environments, particularly in kitchen spaces where families spend considerable time.
Fairfax County’s sizable, affluent population—median household income now surpasses $150,000, with a population of over 1.1 million—has emerged as an early adopter of wellness-centered design principles. The region’s 1.1 million residents have demonstrated strong preference for sustainable, natural materials that offer both aesthetic appeal and lasting value.
As an authorized distributor for Fabuwood cabinets, In Stock Today Cabinets offers multiple KCMA-certified white oak options backed by lifetime limited warranties..

“White oak’s versatility enables it to complement a range of architectural styles found locally, from Colonial revival to contemporary homes. For clients aiming to maximize natural light and create an inviting kitchen, designers often pair white oak cabinetry with light quartz countertops and large windows. Selection of hardware—such as brass or matte black—can be tailored to evoke either traditional or modern aesthetics.”
The biophilic kitchen design movement extends beyond material selection to encompass overall kitchen atmosphere. Natural wood grains, warm undertones, and organic textures work together to create calming environments that support mental and physical wellbeing. These design elements have become particularly important as kitchens evolve into multifunctional spaces for cooking, working, and gathering.
