CUSTOM CABINET
Kitchen Remodel Masters Houston builds custom kitchen cabinets in our own Houston shop and installs them with the same crew. Jose, our cabinet maker and carpenter of 20 years, builds the boxes, doors and drawers to your kitchen's measurements, in any door style and finish, sized for 8, 9 or 10-foot ceilings. Google rating 5.0 from 58 reviews, and cabinets are the most mentioned item in them, 18 times. Free in-home consultation with a 3D design of the finished kitchen.
Custom Cabinets for Kitchens, Bathrooms and Built-Ins
Custom means built to your walls, not to a catalog of standard widths. No filler strips, no wasted corner, and the drawer bank, pantry pull-outs, spice pull-out, trash pull-out and appliance garage go exactly where you use them. We build kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, pantry and laundry cabinets, mudroom lockers, built-in bookcases and entertainment walls, and the island itself.
You choose the door style (shaker, slab, raised panel or inset), framed or frameless construction, the wood or painted finish, and the hardware. Our designer puts all of it into the 3D rendering before anything is cut.
How Our Houston Cabinet Shop Builds Them
Boxes are plywood, not particleboard, so they hold screws and shrug off the humidity that swells cheaper cabinets in Houston. Painted doors use a stable paint-grade frame with a flat center panel so the paint does not crack at the joints as the wood moves through our wet summers. Stained doors are solid maple, oak, walnut or alder. Every drawer runs on soft-close full-extension slides and every door on soft-close hinges. Read how the materials compare in maple, oak, MDF or thermofoil.
Because the shop is ours, a kitchen's cabinets are built while demolition is scheduled and installed by the people who made them. If your existing boxes are sound, the cheaper route is refinishing or refacing them instead.
Custom Cabinet Services in Houston
Most of our cabinet work is part of a full kitchen remodel, but we also build cabinets alone for homeowners who already have the countertops and layout they want. Here is what we build and what it costs in the Houston market.
Custom Kitchen Cabinets
Full kitchens built to the inch: base cabinets with drawer stacks, wall cabinets to the ceiling, a tall pantry, an island with seating and storage on both sides. Shaker is the most requested door in Houston right now; flat-panel slab doors are second, common in Montrose, EaDo and new Heights builds. Both are in the Rice Military flat-panel kitchen and the Oak Forest remodel.
Custom Bathroom Vanities
Vanities sized to the room instead of the 30, 36 and 48-inch stock widths, with drawers around the plumbing, a tower for linens and a finish that matches the kitchen. Built for every bathroom remodel we do.
Built-Ins, Entertainment Walls and Pantries
Bookcases, window seats, media walls, mudroom lockers, laundry and pantry cabinets, and the floor-to-ceiling pantry wall that replaces a walk-in pantry in a small kitchen. One example is the entertainment wall on Cobblestone Dr.
Cabinet Repair
Water-damaged sink bases after a leak or a flood, sagging drawers, broken hinges and doors, and matching a few new boxes to an existing kitchen. Jose can rebuild one cabinet to match the rest instead of replacing all of them.
Custom Cabinets Cost in Houston
Houston market ranges, not a KRM quote: custom kitchen cabinets run about $500 to $1,200 per linear foot installed according to HomeAdvisor (2026), which puts a typical 20 to 30 foot kitchen at roughly $10,000 to $36,000. Our custom cabinets cost guide explains what moves the price, and stock vs semi-custom vs custom explains how each is built and when each fits. If your boxes are sound, paint, stain, reface or replace compares the cheaper options.
Why Cabinets Built in Houston Hold Up Better in Houston
Cabinets shipped from dry climates arrive at 6 to 8 percent moisture content and swell when they meet our 70 percent summer humidity: doors rub, joints open, paint cracks. Ours are built and finished here, in the air they will live in, with plywood boxes, sealed edges and finishes rated for humidity. It is the same reason our stained doors stay flat and our painted doors keep their edges.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a custom cabinet project take?
Most custom cabinet projects take about 2 to 4 weeks from start to finish. We work efficiently by coordinating multiple skilled crews at the same time, so your project moves along smoothly without unnecessary delays.
Do you provide design help before starting the project?
We do. Our service includes professional 3D and 2D designs so you can see exactly how your cabinets will look before any work begins. This helps you make confident decisions and allows us to adjust anything you want before construction starts.
Can you help me choose other materials like countertops and flooring?
Our service includes a professional interior designer who helps you select everything from flooring and countertops to backsplashes, paint colors, and even appliances. We guide you to options that match your style and budget, making the whole process easy and stress-free.
Will I need to leave my home during the cabinet installation?
Most of our clients stay at home while we work. We seal off work areas with plastic barriers and clean up daily to keep dust and noise under control. If your project includes major electrical or plumbing work, we’ll let you know ahead of time if any temporary arrangements are needed.
Do you take on smaller cabinet projects?
We take on projects of all sizes, including small updates like cabinet refacing, single room upgrades, or just replacing a few cabinets. We offer flexible packages and design support to make the most of your space and budget, no matter how big or small your project is.
Are custom cabinets worth it over stock cabinets?
For an odd-shaped kitchen, tall ceilings or a layout with lots of drawers, yes: you use every inch and get the storage you asked for. For a plain rectangular kitchen with standard widths, semi-custom can be enough. The trade-offs are in our cabinet cost guide.
What wood do you use for custom cabinets?
Plywood boxes in every cabinet. Painted doors use a stable paint-grade frame with a flat panel; stained doors are solid maple, oak, walnut or alder. We do not use thermofoil. The comparison is in cabinet materials compared.
Framed or frameless, which should I pick?
Framed cabinets have a solid-wood face frame and suit traditional and shaker kitchens; frameless cabinets give slightly more interior space and a flush modern look. We build both. See frameless vs framed cabinets.
Can you match new cabinets to the ones I already have?
Usually yes. Jose matches door profile, wood and finish so an added pantry, island or repaired cabinet reads as part of the original kitchen.
Do custom cabinets come with soft-close hardware?
Yes. Every drawer runs on full-extension soft-close slides and every door on soft-close hinges, at no extra charge. Existing cabinets can be retrofitted too; see soft-close cabinet installation.
