Custom Cabinets

Custom Cabinetry

Built-ins that look like they’ve always belonged. EK Construction designs, fabricates, and installs custom cabinets that blend precision joinery with finishes tuned to your home’s light and architecture.

From kitchens and pantries to media walls, mudrooms, and libraries, we start with how you live. Site measurements become shop drawings and finish samples; grain-matching plans become furniture-grade details. Drawers glide silently, doors align perfectly, and every scribe panel kisses the wall at a clean 1/16″.

We favor durable, repairable systems: solid hardwood frames, dovetailed drawer boxes, soft-close hardware, and catalyzed finishes that actually stand up to daily life. The result? Storage that’s effortless to use and beautiful to look at—today and ten years from now.

Our cabinets can be customized to fit any space, making them perfect for unique layouts. For example, in a small kitchen, we can design cabinets that extend up to the ceiling, maximizing storage without sacrificing style. In larger spaces, we can create islands with integrated seating and additional storage solutions.

We understand that every homeowner has different needs and preferences. Therefore, we offer a variety of styles, from modern sleek lines to traditional ornate designs. Clients can choose finishes that complement their existing decor, ensuring their custom cabinets feel like a natural part of their home.

Additionally, our commitment to sustainability is evident in our choice of materials. We source hardwoods from responsibly managed forests, ensuring that our custom cabinets not only look good but also support environmental stewardship.

Our clients often comment on how the functionality of our cabinets enhances their daily lives. Whether it’s the soft-close feature that prevents slamming or the precision alignment of doors that ensures a seamless look, every detail has been thoughtfully considered.

The Advantages of Custom Cabinets

Custom cabinets provide numerous benefits over pre-manufactured solutions. One significant advantage is their ability to fit any space perfectly. Unlike standard cabinets, which may require adjustments or leave gaps, custom cabinets can be designed to meet the specific dimensions of your room. This ensures a seamless look and maximizes your storage potential.

Another advantage is the level of personalization available. Homeowners can choose materials, finishes, and styles that reflect their personal taste and complement their home’s design. For example, someone with a rustic farmhouse style might prefer reclaimed wood cabinets, while a modern aesthetic might call for sleek, high-gloss finishes.

Custom cabinets also increase the resale value of your home. Prospective buyers are often drawn to homes with high-quality, custom features, understanding the investment made in unique cabinetry. This can be a significant selling point when placing your home on the market.

Lastly, investing in custom cabinets means prioritizing craftsmanship. With meticulous attention to detail, custom cabinet makers ensure that every element, from the hinges to the handles, is of the highest quality. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also ensures longevity, making your cabinets a worthwhile investment for years to come.
