Master Custom Cabinet Maker in Olympia

Custom cabinet pricing in Olympia depends on several factors including linear footage, wood species, and design complexity. For a standard kitchen layout, custom cabinetry typically starts at $15,000, while custom islands begin around $2,500. While custom cabinets cost more than prefab alternatives, they offer superior durability, precise fit for your space, and materials that will last generations rather than decades.

Our custom cabinetry process follows a detailed timeline to ensure quality at every stage. The design phase typically takes 2-3 weeks to finalize measurements, wood selection, and finish details. Shop fabrication requires 6-10 weeks depending on complexity, allowing proper time for joinery, finishing, and quality checks. On-site installation usually takes 2-5 days depending on the scope of the project.

We primarily use solid wood for our Olympia projects because of its superior durability and natural beauty. Solid wood handles the Pacific Northwest's humidity fluctuations better than engineered alternatives when properly acclimated. For specific applications like painted cabinet interiors or moisture-prone areas, we may recommend moisture-resistant substrates that offer added protection while maintaining structural integrity.

Yes, custom stain matching is one of our specialties. We can replicate virtually any finish to seamlessly integrate new cabinetry with your home's existing trim, built-ins, or heirloom furniture. For historic homes in Olympia, we also replicate period-accurate profiles and molding styles, ensuring your new cabinets look like they've always been part of your home.

The choice between cabinet refacing and full replacement depends on your existing cabinets' structural condition and your goals. If your cabinet boxes are solid and well-built, refacing can provide a fresh look at lower cost. However, if you want to change your layout, address water damage, or upgrade to soft-close hardware and custom organization, new custom cabinets offer the best long-term value and functionality.
