Cabinetry is both the focal point and the foundation of any kitchen remodel. From visual flow to day-to-day functionality, kitchen cabinets can influence everything from how you prepare your morning brew to your home’s resale value in an uncertain market. As a result, discerning homeowners are turning to custom cabinetry solutions for its consistent quality, precision, and personalization.
Why Custom Cabinets Matter
Kitchens are natural gathering spaces within homes. Whether you’re starting with a full remodel or looking to refresh your space, cabinetry plays a central role in both form and function. Although stock and semi-stock options can provide functionality, semi-custom and fully customized cabinetry offer distinct benefits:
- Custom cabinets are built to the exact dimensions of your space, ensuring a seamless fit
- Bespoke cabinetry is made with higher-quality materials and craftsmanship, leading to a more durable product
- Personalized finishes and details allow homeowners to achieve their dream kitchen without compromising on the end result
- Custom cabinetry can be built to incorporate thoughtful design elements that fit each homeowner’s lifestyle, such as appliance garages, pull-out shelving, and soft-close drawers
- Aesthetic consistency of custom cabinetry increases not only the beauty of a space, but also the long-term value of a home.
Whether you’re investing in a full main-level remodel or keeping your upgrade limited to custom cabinetry, the finished result is an inviting room where appliances, storage, and space work cohesively to create a thoughtfully designed, beautiful home.
What to Look For in Premium Cabinetry
Like many other home improvements, not all custom cabinets are created equal. For homeowners investing in kitchen remodels, there are key details that separate the stock cabinets from premium custom cabinetry:
- Cabinets are made from solid premium woods such as cherry, maple, walnut, oak or alder
- Cabinet construction features ¾” dovetail drawers and craftsmanship for superior durability and visual appeal
- Undermount drawer and soft close drawer tracks for uninterrupted access and gentle closure
- Hand-applied stains and paints for depth and richness
- Catalyzed conversion varnish finishes for a smooth, durable finish
