Custom Cabinetry: What's The Difference?

Custom Cabinetmakers: We make your projects work!

Often times cabinet suppliers will use the word "custom" as a marketing term. But is it really custom, or just choosing from a list of standard options? When we say custom, we mean it.

• You can have any frame style you want
  • ​custom frames can be built without seams between cabinets for a cleaner look and less wasted space
    
• You can have any door style you like
  
  • ​Create a custom style all your own
    
• You can have any size you need
  • ​Each cabinet is made to fit your space in any size or configuration
    
• The cabinets can be built to any shape your project requires
  
  • ​Fit cabinets to sloped ceilings, odd corners, or curved walls
    
• The trim on the cabinets can be made to match the trim in your home
  
  • ​Details in your home can be carried across your cabinetry for a seamless look
    
• You can have any color you need matched on your new cabinetry​
  • Match the trim in your house for a seamless look, or match your favorite piece of furniture!​
    
• Any configuration for your cabinet layout
  
  • ​​Rearrange doors and drawers where YOU want them, and fit the interior with any available pullout or gadget you wish
    
• You work directly with the craftsmen throughout the project
  
  • No salespeople between you and the person building your project means nothing gets lost in translation in creating your cabinets 
  • With a custom cabinetmaker, adding a shelf or replacing a door (I.E. after the kids ran into it with a bicycle) is quick and easy

• You pick from a  list of standard dimension frames and styles
  • ​Limited options  and any change from standard costs extra
    
• You select from a limited list of door styles
  
  • ​Your "custom" job ends up looking like everyone else's 
• You select from a set of standard sizes
  
  • ​Cabinets are made in sizes easy to manufacture and are screwed together on the job site, leaving lots of seams and wasted space
    
• Cabinets are rectangular boxes with a very limited selection of other options
  • ​Fitting odd shaped cabinets in irregular  spaces is simply not an option
    
• You select from the manufacturer's standard trim profiles
  
  • ​A mismatch of styles and profiles is visually distracting in the finished project
    
• You select from the manufacturer's list of color options and wood species
  
  • ​Matching a specific color or using an exotic species likely won't be available
    
• You must select from the layout options from their list
  
  • ​Changes from their layout options will cost extra if available at all
    
• ​You work with salespeople, not the craftsmen
  
  • ​Without hands on experience in the trade, salespeople will push you towards choices easy for them, not what is best for you and your home.
