Local Cabinet Installation contractors
Kitchen and bathroom cabinet installation and refacing..
Cabinet installation includes new custom, semi-custom, and stock cabinet builds for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and storage areas, as well as cabinet refacing and refinishing to update existing boxes. Custom cabinets are built to exact specifications by a local shop, while semi-custom and stock cabinets offer faster delivery at lower price points. Cabinet refacing replaces just the doors and drawer fronts while keeping the existing cabinet boxes — a cost-effective option when the layout works but the style is dated. Proper installation requires precise leveling, shimming, and secure anchoring to wall studs.
What to look for when hiring a cabinet installation contractor
- ✓Ask whether they install only or also build custom cabinets in their own shop.
- ✓Confirm the estimate specifies cabinet construction (plywood vs. particleboard boxes), door style, and hardware.
- ✓Ask about lead times — custom cabinets can take 6–12 weeks to fabricate.
- ✓Get a written warranty covering both the cabinets and the installation workmanship.

Should I reface or replace kitchen cabinets?
Reface if your cabinet boxes are in good structural condition and you're happy with the layout. Refacing replaces doors, drawer fronts, and applies new veneer to the visible surfaces of existing boxes — it costs $4,000–$10,000 vs. $10,000–$40,000+ for full replacement. Replace if boxes are damaged, if you want to change the layout, or if you're adding features like soft-close hinges, pull-out shelves, or different-sized cabinets. Refacing saves 40–60% over replacement and takes 3–5 days vs. 2–4 weeks for new cabinets.
What is the difference between stock, semi-custom, and custom cabinets?
Stock cabinets come in standard sizes and finishes, are available quickly (days to 2 weeks), and cost $75–$250 per linear foot installed. Semi-custom cabinets offer more size options, wood species, and finish choices with 4–8 week lead times at $150–$500 per linear foot. Custom cabinets are built to exact specifications in a local shop — any size, material, or design — with 8–16 week lead times at $500–$1,200+ per linear foot. For most kitchens, semi-custom offers the best balance of customization and value.
