The Basics of Cabinetry

What Are Custom Cabinets
Unlike stock or semi-custom options, custom cabinets are built specifically for your space, style, and needs. Every detail—from dimensions and materials to finishes and features—is tailored to fit your vision perfectly.

Key Components of a Cabinet
Here’s a quick overview of what goes into a high-quality cabinet:

Box: The main structure that holds everything together.
Face Frame: Provides structural support and style (optional for frameless designs).
Doors and Drawers: The functional and aesthetic elements of the cabinet.
Hardware: Hinges, knobs, and pulls that bring your cabinets to life.
Finish: Paints, stains, or laminates that complete the look and add durability.

What to Consider Before you Start

Your Space
Take a close look at the room where the cabinets will go. Think about:

Dimensions and layout.
Existing style or desired look.
Storage needs and functionality.

Your Budget
Custom cabinets are an investment in quality and personalization. Our team works with you to design solutions that fit your budget while delivering exceptional value.

Your Style
Your cabinets should reflect your personal style. Are you drawn to clean, modern lines or rich, traditional details? Explore inspiration online or visit our showroom to see examples in person.
