When Elk Grove Village kitchens need custom cabinets
Custom cabinetry starts with your room and the way you cook, not with a catalog. For Elk Grove Village homeowners we draw every box, choose species and finish together, and then build and install cabinets that fill the space without wide fillers or wasted corners.
Wide gaps and fillers everywhere
Previous cabinets show three-inch filler strips at every wall and appliance. Built-to-fit boxes close those gaps and gain storage.
Cabinets that stop short of the ceiling
That dusty gap over the wall cabinets is lost space. We run cabinets right up to the ceiling line and trim them so nothing collects on top.
Appliances that should disappear
A built-in look depends on matching panels, correct reveals and a cabinet surround sized to the appliance. We plan all three from the model's install sheet.
Island that should look like furniture
If the island is the centerpiece of the room, we build it as one: furniture-style base, seating side panels and storage where you need it.
Door style or detail you can't find
Certain door details simply aren't sold in standard lines. Custom construction lets us copy or design them.
Storage that doesn't fit how you cook
Catalog interiors are one-size-fits-all. We design drawers, dividers and pull-outs around what you own and where you use it.
Storage needed beyond the kitchen
Mudroom lockers, a butler's pantry, a laundry wall or a bar near the kitchen can be built in the same style as the cabinets.
What's included
- Design visit and detailed measuringAn in-home design visit with precise measurements and a list of what each cabinet has to hold.
- Drawings and renderingsYou review drawn elevations and 3D views and sign off on them before construction starts.
- Building the cabinetsBoxes, doors and drawers built to the approved drawings, with the interiors you planned.
- FinishingPaint or stain applied before delivery, so the finish is even and cured when it reaches your house.
- Tear-out and site prepOld cabinets removed and hauled away, walls patched and floors protected.
- Panels, crown and trimAppliance panels, end panels, crown molding and toe kicks to finish the built-in look.
- Hardware and final adjustmentEvery hinge and slide adjusted and the hardware set straight before we call it done.
Finishes and options
Painted, stained and two-tone finishesChoose any paint color, a stain matched to your trim, or mix them between perimeter and island.
Plywood boxes and dovetail drawersSturdy plywood cases and dovetail drawers hold up to daily use and moisture far better than stapled particleboard.
Inset vs. full overlay doorsInset doors sit flush inside the frame for a traditional look and need precise fitting; full overlay doors cover the frame for a modern, continuous face.
Maple, cherry, oak and walnutMaple paints and stains evenly, cherry darkens with age, white oak shows a strong grain, walnut is rich and dark.
Paint-grade constructionFor painted cabinets, maple frames with MDF center panels resist the cracks that solid panels can show at joints.

The reason for the call: dated cabinets that didn't fit the room or the house. After: built-to-fit cabinetry to the ceiling in pale sage with brushed nickel bar pulls and warm walnut butcher block counters. On site this meant design visit and detailed measuring, finishing, plus hardware and final adjustment.

Custom Kitchen Cabinets questions from Elk Grove Village homeowners
Can you match my existing cabinets or trim?
We match profiles and finishes from a sample door or a piece of trim and get your approval on a test board first.
How much do custom kitchen cabinets cost?
It depends on how many cabinets, what they are made of and how detailed they are. Inset doors and specialty interiors cost more than simple full overlay.
Can you build panels for panel-ready appliances?
We do — panels and surrounds for built-in refrigerators and dishwashers are a regular part of custom kitchens.
Are custom cabinets worth it?
When the room is irregular, the ceilings are tall or you plan to stay for years, often yes. For a standard room and a tight budget, semi-custom may serve you better.
Do you also install the custom cabinets?
Yes, installation is part of the project, from tear-out of the old kitchen to the last hinge adjustment.
Which Elk Grove Village homes do you most often see for custom cabinet project?
In Elk Grove Village we see Planned suburban community founded 1950s-60s, most houses built by Centex and 1970s apartment communities, some later converted to condos. Each comes with its own walls, wiring and plumbing, and we plan the job around them.
Do you work in my part of Elk Grove Village?
Yes. Our crews work across Elk Grove Village — ZIP 60007 — and nearby Itasca, Wood Dale, Schaumburg.
