Are Custom Cabinets Worth the Price?
3 reasons why you should invest in high-quality custom cabinetry
When remodeling or building your home, it can be tempting to cut corners by investing in cheaper, mass-produced products. Doing this may save your checkbook a few numbers in the moment, but in the long run, is it really saving you money?
The answer is ‘no.’ In fact, you’ll end up spending more money over time.
Here’s three reasons why the benefits of custom cabinetry outweigh that of factory-made cabinets.
1) Quality: Built to Last
There’s plenty of different colors and stains to choose from so your project will look exactly as you imagined.
Cabinets that come from big box stores are cheaper for a reason: they’re made with low-quality materials. Choosing custom cabinetry not only guarantees that your project will be built per your specifications, but also with the highest quality woods and hardware. The increased durability from first-rate materials means it’ll take a long time before you’ll need repairs or touch-ups.
Waterproof finishing makes cleaning a breeze while maintaining your cabinets’ appearance. It also protects woodwork from warping and other damages that substandard cabinetry easily fall prey to. Plus, installation is completed by the same professionals that worked on your project so you know they will be installed correctly and with care.
2) Design: Unique to You and Your Space
Carefully measured and built with precision, our craftsmanship speaks for itself!
In big-name stores that offer woodworking services, designs are often built according to sizes found in the average home, but what if none of those work for your space?
Custom cabinetry is created to fit your architectural needs and make the most of available space. Using precise measurements and guided by your vision, the final product will be creatively designed to maximize all available space, enhancing your home or business.

Another benefit of investing in custom cabinetry is the ability to make your project unique to you. Endless combinations of hardware, wood, and colors, ensure that your cabinets will match your home with quality guaranteed to last a lifetime.
3) Value: Increase Your Home’s Worth

Determining a home’s resale value is affected by many factors, one of them including layout and amenities of the kitchen. The heart of any house, it’s usually the first impression made on friends, family, and—you guessed it—potential buyers. In fact, when buying a home, the kitchen is the room that can make or break a sale.
Remodeling and installing custom-built cabinetry benefit you in two major ways:
Better offers when you sell
An environment that is suited for you and your needs.
For all these reasons, custom cabinetry is more than just an investment for your home, it’s an investment for your future.
