5 out of 5 starsPrice was way more affordable than the other quotes we got for garage cabinetry. Still felt premium — clean jobsite, solid finish, and I'd hire them again without thinking twice.

5 out of 5 starsHonestly did not expect such a professional team. They showed up on time, explained every step, and the custom cabinet installation turned out better than I pictured.

5 out of 5 starsCalled Elgin Custom Cabinets after a neighbor tip in Elgin. Super easy to deal with — clear answers, no runaround, and they actually cared about the details on our mudroom storage systems.

Common questions
Custom Cabinets FAQs
How much do custom cabinets cost in Elgin?
Most projects run from a few thousand dollars for a single built-in to $15,000 or more for a full kitchen remodel. Price depends on wood choice, box count, and finish grade. A free estimate gets you a real number for your space.
How long does a custom cabinet project take?
A straightforward run of cabinets takes about 3 to 5 weeks from design approval to install day. Bigger remodels with layout changes can run 6 to 8 weeks.
Do I need a permit for custom cabinets?
Straight cabinet swaps usually don't need one. Moving plumbing or electrical for a vanity, bar, or island almost always does. Check with Bastrop or Travis County depending on which side of Elgin you're on.
Is DIY custom cabinet work a good idea?
Flat-pack kits can work fine for basic garage shelving. Anything that has to fit around existing plumbing, outlets, or older trim usually turns out better with a built-to-fit box.
When should I call a custom cabinet pro?
Call when boxes are swelling or delaminating, a layout is blocking a remodel, or you're prepping a house for resale. Also a good call if your kitchen has no pantry at all.
What affects custom cabinet pricing?
Wood species, box construction, finish type, hardware grade, and how much of the room is in scope. A full layout change costs more than a straight box swap.
What is typically included in a custom cabinet project?
A measure and design consult, cabinet boxes built to your dimensions, doors and drawer fronts, hardware, and install. Countertop and plumbing work are usually coordinated separately.
How do I prepare my home for custom cabinets?
Clear the room of dishes, small appliances, and anything stored in the cabinets getting replaced. If it's a kitchen, set up a temporary spot for daily items before install day.
