Custom Built-In Cabinetry

Custom cabinets can be installed anywhere in the home. Their function extends far beyond the kitchen alone. You can install custom cabinets in the living room to house your TV and other electronics, or in a home office for extra storage and workspace. Another great location for custom built-ins is in a mud room for coat lockers, or in a bedroom for extra clothing and linen storage.

Depending on how your builder installs custom cabinets and built-ins, they can be removed and placed elsewhere in the home. In order to do so you must remove them very gently to prevent any damage. If you think you will want to move your custom cabinets at any point in the future, it is best to communicate this to your builder beforehand, so they are installed in a way that makes relocation possible.

The main difference between custom and semi-custom cabinetry is in the number of options you have to build your cabinets. While semi-custom cabinets offer many choices like paint color, stain color, hardware, size, and shape, you are still limited to a strict number of options. With custom cabinetry and built-ins, the options are truly unlimited. If you can dream it, Engelhard Construction can build it.

Anytime you update the look or function of your home, you are adding value to it. When you do so with high-quality materials or one-of-a-kind amenities you are adding even greater value. Custom Cabinets and built-ins add uniqueness and functionality to the home that many buyers look for.

When compared to the composition of stock cabinets, custom cabinets are of the highest quality built-ins available. We will work within your budget to create beautiful, strong, and unique cabinets that will bring form and function to your space. Popular choices for materials include genuine woods like maple, oak, cherry, and walnut, but you can be as creative as you want when it comes to choosing the material.

There are multiple things that factor into the higher price tag of custom cabinets as opposed to stock cabinets. To start, custom cabinets are made with higher quality materials, which cost more to begin with. You are also paying for the labor that goes into measuring and fitting the cabinets to your exact specifications. And lastly, you are paying for the high-quality work that goes into actually building and installing the cabinets.

When built and installed by highly skilled craftsmen like the team members at Engelhard Construction, custom cabinets should last a lifetime. As long as you take care of your cabinets and built-ins they can last until you're ready for another update, if you even want one. Some cabinets can weather faster than others depending on their location and amount of use.

Anything that is being made from scratch is going to take longer, and custom cabinets are no exception. Depending on the lead times for materials, how large the project is, and how detailed your design is, your builder can provide you with an estimate of how long it will take for your custom cabinets to be built.
