Custom Cabinetry in Shelton, WA
Master-Crafted Built-ins & Kitchens

Custom cabinet pricing in Shelton varies based on project scope, materials, and complexity. Our custom upper cabinets start at $350 per linear foot for solid wood construction with quality hardware. Lower cabinets with drawers typically run $400-$500 per linear foot. Material selection significantly impacts pricing—paint-grade cabinets (Poplar, MDF-core) cost less than stain-grade hardwoods (Oak, Cherry, Walnut). A typical kitchen (20-25 linear feet) ranges from $8,000-$15,000 for custom work. Built-in bookshelves start at $1,200. During our free consultation, we'll provide project-specific pricing tailored to your needs.

We build our Shelton cabinets using solid wood frames and high-grade plywood carcasses for superior durability in the Pacific Northwest climate. Face frames are solid hardwood (Maple, Oak, Cherry, or Walnut depending on your choice), doors are solid wood or wood veneer on MDF core, and cabinet boxes use premium plywood—not particle board. This construction method provides long-term stability in our humid climate while preventing warping and moisture damage. For paint-grade cabinets, we use high-quality Poplar or MDF-core doors with hardwood frames. We never use particle board for structural components.

A typical custom cabinet project in Shelton takes 8-12 weeks from initial design consultation to final installation. The design phase (in-home consultation, measurements, material selection, approval) takes 1-2 weeks. Shop fabrication in our Shelton workshop requires 6-10 weeks depending on project complexity and our current workload. On-site installation typically takes 2-5 days for kitchens, 1-3 days for built-ins. We'll provide a specific timeline during your consultation.

Yes, we offer kitchen cabinet refacing and makeover services in Shelton! Cabinet refacing is a cost-effective alternative to full replacement—we install new door fronts, drawer fronts, and hardware while keeping your existing cabinet boxes. This works well when your current cabinets are structurally sound but outdated aesthetically. Refacing costs 40-60% less than new custom cabinets while providing a fresh look. We also offer new door installation on existing boxes, hardware upgrades (soft-close hinges, modern pulls), and finish updates. During our consultation, we'll assess whether refacing or new cabinets is the best value for your goals.

Absolutely! Matching historic home styles is one of our specialties. Shelton has beautiful historic homes in the downtown district, and we're experienced in creating period-correct millwork that honors architectural heritage. We can replicate existing trim profiles using custom knife grinding techniques, match wood species and grain patterns, and apply traditional finishes that complement aged patina. Our craftsmanship-focused approach means we take time to ensure seamless integration with your home's original character. Whether you have Craftsman, Victorian, or farmhouse-style architecture, we'll design cabinetry that looks original to the home.

We provide detailed design drawings and visualizations to help you understand how your custom cabinets will look in your space. During the design phase, we create scaled drawings showing cabinet dimensions, door styles, hardware placement, and material specifications. While we don't typically provide full 3D renderings for standard projects, we can arrange advanced visualization for complex built-ins or whole-room designs. Our in-home consultation includes detailed discussions with material samples, door style examples, and finish options. We work through revisions until the design perfectly matches your vision before beginning fabrication.

Yes! We stand behind our craftsmanship with a limited lifetime warranty on all joinery—dovetail drawers, mortise-and-tenon joints, and cabinet construction. Our 5-year finish warranty covers peeling, cracking, or abnormal discoloration under normal use. We also provide a lifetime warranty on all custom cabinet hardware (hinges, slides, pulls) against manufacturing defects. This comprehensive warranty reflects our commitment to quality and our confidence in materials and construction methods. As a local Shelton business, we're here for the long term to support your investment and ensure your cabinets remain beautiful and functional for decades.
