Custom kitchen cabinets and built-ins across Tampa Bay
When the room has an odd angle, a soffit that needs to disappear, or a wall of storage you have been dreaming about, custom cabinetry is the right call. We design and build shaker, inset, and full-overlay cabinets in paint-grade MDF, maple, white oak, or walnut, plus matching pantry built-ins, coffee stations, and floating shelves that actually fit the space.
What's included in this service?
- In-home measure and as-built drawings, including ceiling slope and wall out-of-plumb
- Shop drawing review with door style, hardware, and interior accessory plan
- Paint-grade, maple, white oak, walnut, or rift-sawn cabinet box construction, built on plywood rather than particleboard near sinks and dishwashers
- Pantry built-ins, coffee stations, appliance garages, and pull-out spice racks
- Floating shelves, plate racks, and matching hood surrounds
- Install, leveling, scribe fitting to uneven walls, and full-extension hardware
When do you need this service?
- Your layout has angles, soffits, or low ceilings stock cabinets cannot handle
- You want a specific wood, finish, or door style you cannot find in a catalog
- You need a pantry wall or coffee station that fits the room exactly
- Inset doors with a face frame are part of the design and stock will not work
- You are matching existing trim or built-ins in the rest of the house
What do homeowners ask about Custom Cabinets?
How much do custom kitchen cabinets cost in Tampa Bay?
Custom cabinets in Tampa Bay typically run $25,000-$80,000+ for a full kitchen, depending on the wood, door style, and accessories. Paint-grade maple shaker lands in the $30,000-$50,000 range. Inset face-frame or rift-sawn white oak can push $60,000-$100,000+. Hardware and accessories are a meaningful share of the total.
Custom vs. semi-custom cabinets: which should I pick?
Custom is worth the cost when you need a non-standard size, a specific wood, or a layout that stock lines cannot cover. Semi-custom is a better value when standard widths can be adjusted to fit and you are happy with the door and finish options from a catalog. We help you decide at the design consult, not after the deposit.
What wood is best for Tampa Bay kitchen cabinets?
Maple and white oak are the most common in Tampa Bay remodels. Maple takes paint cleanly for shaker doors. White oak is the go-to for natural finishes, rift-sawn for a modern look and tight grain. Walnut is softer and better for accent panels or islands than full kitchens in heavy-use homes. Whatever the wood, we build the boxes on plywood, not particleboard, since Florida humidity and the daily splash zone around the sink and dishwasher will swell a lesser substrate over time.
How long do custom cabinets take from order to install?
Plan 8-14 weeks from final shop drawing sign-off to install for most Tampa Bay shops. The shop drawing and material sourcing step is the longest. Local shops can be faster than out-of-state distributors if you want to compress the timeline.
Can custom cabinets match my existing trim?
Yes. We measure the existing baseboard, casing, and crown profiles and match them on the cabinet ends, toe-kick, and any built-ins. If the existing wood is stained, we custom-tint new pieces to blend. If the existing pieces are painted, we use the same paint line and sheen for a clean match.

Homeowners who hired us for this
Our bungalow kitchen was original to the 1940s house and the layout made no sense. The crew that came out through this referral gutted it, moved the fridge wall, and worked around our tiny lot without a single scheduling delay through two rain weeks.
We went with quartz after they explained how granite needs resealing every year in this humidity. Install took two days and they protected our floors the whole time. Counters still look brand new five months in.
Refacing instead of a full teardown saved us a lot and the new doors closed the gap where humidity had swelled the old MDF fronts for years. Looks like a new kitchen for a fraction of the cost.
