When homeowners across Plano search for "custom cabinets" they usually mean one of two things — a full kitchen, or a specific problem room the semi-custom catalogs can't solve. Our shop handles both. For 20+ years we've been building cabinetry for every room in North Texas homes: kitchens in Willow Bend and Prestonwood, primary vanities in Windhaven and Legacy West, home offices in Plano's East Side revival neighborhoods, and full-house programs for new builds in Frisco.
"Custom" at our shop is not marketing shorthand — it is literal. There is no catalog of stock cases we're modifying to fit. Every project starts with an in-home measure, moves to CAD-based shop drawings tuned to your walls and appliances, and gets built as one-of-one on Ingram Drive. Species, door style, drawer configuration, interior organizers, appliance integration, hardware — every one of those is a decision you make with our designer, not a limitation you inherit from a brand's option list.
Because "custom cabinets" spans so many rooms, this page is a hub. Depending on your project, drill into custom kitchen cabinets, custom bathroom vanities, custom millwork and built-ins, or the full custom design and fabrication program. Every project runs through 3D rendering and material and finish consultation before we cut a board.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'custom' really mean at your shop?
Every cabinet is sized, engineered, and built to your walls and appliances — no cutting down semi-custom stock boxes to fit. Species, door style, drawer configuration, and hardware are all your call.
What rooms do you build custom cabinets for?
Kitchens, primary and guest baths, powder rooms, home offices, libraries, pantries, laundry rooms, mudrooms, garages, media walls, wine rooms, and closet systems.
How long is a full custom project?
Design and sample board takes 3–4 weeks. Shop production is 6–8 weeks for a typical kitchen. Installation is 3–5 days. Multi-room projects overlap for a total of 12–16 weeks.
How do custom cabinets compare in price to semi-custom brands?
For an apples-to-apples kitchen, our custom pricing is typically within 15% of Kraftmaid or Waypoint at their higher trim levels — and includes true furniture-grade construction, real dovetails, and lifetime warranty.
Do you offer inset and full-overlay construction?
Both, plus partial-overlay when it matches the era of an older Plano home. Inset is a specialty — we build every inset door in-house with 1/16-inch reveals.
Can we do part of the house now and add on later?
Yes. We keep every project's finish formula and shop drawings on file so add-ons and companion pieces years later match exactly.
Are you a franchise?
No — we are a family-run, independent cabinet shop on Ingram Drive in Plano. What you see in the shop is what shows up in your home.
What's the warranty?
Lifetime on cabinet construction, 10 years on the finish system, lifetime on Blum/Salice hardware, one year on all installation.
