New Kitchen Cabinet Shop Options

Kitchen cabinet shop options for those of you considering replacing or adding new cabinets may be the one person shop on the corner, to a large cabinet factory on a plot of land covering several acres.

Cabinet Dollar Amount
Cabinets vary greatly in price, depending on whether the cabinets are custom or stock. There also are cabinet varieties in between custom and stock cabinets as options for your kitchen. This wide range of cabinets creates a wide range of options for different budget levels.

What Are Stock Cabinets?
Stock kitchen cabinets are the most basic choice for kitchen cabinets. Stock cabinets are options available off the shelf or within a few weeks from your local home building center, local lumberyard, or contractor. You also may have the option to order the cabinets yourself.

Installation - Who Installs The Cabinets?
Installation options for your new kitchen cabinets include the dealer where you ordered the cabinets, a local contractor, or you can install the cabinets yourself if you have the skills it takes to tackle a kitchen remodel.

Stock Cabinet Dollar vs. Custom Cabinets
Stock cabinets are built as individual cabinets in standard sizes so filler pieces may be required where the cabinets meet into the walls to cover gaps. With stock cabinets the styles, finishes, hardware, and accessories vary and you do not have customized options. This is why stock cabinets are about half the cost of many custom manufactured kitchen cabinets.

New Custom Kitchen Cabinets
Custom kitchen cabinet manufacturers and semi-custom cabinet manufacturers also offer a wide range of design and options for your cabinet's styles, finishes, hardware, accessories, sizes , and configurations. With custom cabinets the range of choices is much broader and there are adjustments of custom made pieces. Custom made cabinets generally offer good to premium quality, and with the premium quality cabinets wait time for the cabinets may take up to 3 months.

Semi-custom Kitchen Cabinets
Semi-custom cabinets have fewer options than custom cabinets, and cost about 30 percent less than cabinets from custom manufacturers.

Custom Cabinet Maker Shops
Hiring a cabinet maker or working with a cabinet maker shop to build your custom cabinets is also an option. When hiring a cabinet maker to build your cabinets your layout or kitchen's design can be done with or with out the help of a kitchen designer or architect.

The advantage to having a cabinet maker shop build the custom cabinets is the fact that the cabinet units can be built in large sections. This means the cabinets can fit your site's measurements. An example is your base cabinets could be installed from wall to wall in your kitchen's design as one cabinet unit.

Custom cabinet shop cabinets may take longer than custom cabinets, still this all depends on the shop and how busy the cabinet maker you are dealing with is at the time of your kitchen remodel. Often your wait time for installation of your new cabinets with a local cabinet shop is five to 20 weeks. Custom cabinet maker shops install the cabinets they build.

Cabinet shops building your custom cabinets may allow you the luxury to ask for cabinets plans, elevations of the plans, and may even be able to see a list of items for each cabinet in your new kitchen including a list of accessories and hardware.
