“Kornel and Kyle built a custom kitchen and a gorgeous fireplace mantel for us. They were very professional, and took great care to understand exactly what we wanted. They put together a quote and mock up of the kitchen that was very detailed. We were able to see exactly what we were getting and make tweaks to the design during the process. They are very creative and had some great design recommendations as well. They delivered our kitchen on time and even came back to make sure everything was installed perfectly (I would recommend you have them install because they are perfectionists). We are so happy with the end result and with how smoothly the process went. We highly recommend these guys and would definitely use them again!”

Cadence Custom Cabinetry, Inc.
Custom Cabinet Builders in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 27, 2014
“We could not have asked for a better contractor than Hughes Carpentry. We really appreciated the professional, detail oriented, punctual service. The process of remodeling can be stressful and overwhelming (especially when you are doing several rooms), but with Hughes Carpentry they really broke it down into manageable steps that made the process enjoyable and the end result fabulous! When I was having difficulty finding kitchen cabinets that I liked, I showed Benjamin a picture from a magazine to help him understand the style I was trying to achieve. He was able to not only understand the concept but build the cabinets matching the style perfectly- in the wood, design and finish we wanted. Everyone who sees our kitchen has said how blown away they are by the results (for us it is a dream come true!) In an age where professionalism and integrity are often difficult to find in contractors, Hughes Carpentry showed us that they do indeed exist. Our job was completed beyond our expectations with a clean up at the site each day. Who could ask for any more than that?”

“Sawdust City provides craftsmanship, personalized service & kindness that is extremely rare these days. I am so happy I found them! I had a corner cabinet made to custom specs, and it is perfect; above & beyond what I had expected. Since that first purchase, they’ve also made custom pieces fo that are also perfect.”
Kinzini
Custom Cabinet Builders in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 13, 2020
“I was planning my kitchen for a while. I wanted something that is modern but not to cold. I was so happy that my friend recommended Kinzini. They have big selection of styles and colors. Very professional, respectful and responsive and affordable. I had a lot of question how to optimize space in my kitchen since it is not big and narrow. They offer me a lot of ideas and help me find solutions that will work for me. I love cooking and did not want anything on my counter top. Thanks to Paulina and Agata i got what i wanted. They help me with the counter-tops as well, I truly valued their opinion. We chose backslash as well and i loved their light fixtures. Thank you for your help and dedication to details.”

“Professional, attentive, trustworthy, Mark would go extra mile to make us happy. We went through numerous design revisions to find the right balance between esthetics, functionality and cost. We would not hesitate to hire Mark for future projects”
New Style Cabinets

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 3, 2017
“I have worked with New Style Cabinets on a few projects and will continue! They create and install the highest quality cabinetry and make my job easier, as they meet every request. I appreciate that New Style is willing to support my projects, no matter the size and scope, from creating a custom desk/shelf area to blend in with an existing wall unit, to magnificent floating vanities, to creating a single shelf. I highly recommend New Style Cabinetry!”
Daedal Woodworking
Custom Cabinet Builders in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 1, 2013
“Paul designed and built a large custom dining table and bench for a very large family room/kitchen space. His design ideas were well thought through. He truly listened to our needs and aesthetic wants and the end product complements all other aspects of the furniture and cabinetry in this very large room. The quality of the product is excellent, and the process of working with him was easy and enjoyable. He completed the job on time, per estimate and exceeded our quality expectations. I highly recommend him. I wish I had found him sooner.”
Grace Taylor Designs, Inc.
Custom Cabinet Builders in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 15, 2014
“Grace Taylor Designs provided the teak wood for a bathroom remodel project we worked on last year and I was thrilled with the level of attention and quality of product that was provided. I had the distinct honor of winning a national award for this space, which would have been much less dynamic without the use of the wood on the ceiling. It is stunning and we've had incredible response to this unique application of teak decking. Saphra Mikal was wonderful to work with and I'm looking forward to future projects with him!”

If you’re having trouble finding stock cabinets for your home in Chicago, IL, then you may consider installing custom cabinets to meet your storage needs. On Houzz, you can browse through our network of custom cabinet professionals who are skilled at installing cabinets in many different sizes, shapes and materials. To learn more about the benefits of custom cabinetry, average project cost, preparing for a consultation and hiring a custom cabinet company near you, read more below.

What’s the difference between prefab and custom cabinets?
The main difference between prefabricated and custom cabinets is that the latter is made specifically for your home. With custom cabinets, you can work with a professional to find materials, designs and finishings that match the rest of your home. Aside from being functional and beautiful, custom cabinets are durable and highly customizable to solve even the trickiest storage needs.

What are the benefits of custom-built cabinets?
Even though stock cabinets are more affordable, custom made cabinets provide a range of benefits that make them easy to use in your home. Whether you need cabinets for your kitchen, bathroom, garage or bedroom, this type of custom solution can fit in any space and complement your interior design.

You can have full control over the finished product of your cabinet design. By selecting hinges, knobs, drawer pulls, cabinet faces and frames that you love, it’ll be easy to coordinate your cabinet style with other furniture in your home. Aside from just being beautiful, custom cabinets maximize your storage space and accommodate everyone’s storage needs.

How much do custom cabinets cost?
The price of custom cabinets varies by the number of cabinets and the material you choose. Generally, cabinet contractors estimate the cost per unit or linear foot. The average cost for custom cabinets when purchased by linear foot is roughly $800, while a prefabricated unit is around $500.

The cabinet material may impact the price estimate by linear foot or by unit. The most affordable custom cabinet material includes MDF, particle board, plywood and laminate. If you want to elevate your custom cabinet design, then materials like mahogany, cherry, maple and white oak are great to use. Each material has its own benefits, from being durable to more attractive. Before deciding on a specific material, make sure to speak with a contractor about what might work best for your needs.

What is the average timeline for custom cabinet installation?
There are three major steps in custom cabinet services, including design, fabrication, and installation. The design stage usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks to complete and consists of an initial consultation meeting, detailed kitchen measurements, as well as design visualization. The time to fabricate custom cabinets may vary depending on the number and complexity of the cabinets being built; however, in most cases the fabrication time can range from 6 weeks to 12 weeks. And finally, the last step is installing the custom cabinets, which normally takes 4 to 6 days to complete the installation. From the initial consultation to final installation, most custom cabinet projects ultimately take 2 to 4 months.

How to prepare for a custom cabinet consultation?
In order to make custom cabinet installation as easy as possible, here are a few tips you can follow before meeting with a Chicago, IL professional. Start by collecting pictures that highlight the materials and styles you’d like to use, including door faces, drawer pulls and hardware and environmental images that show off the look and feel of your preferred custom cabinets. You can use Houzz to collect all of your inspiration in one place by creating an Ideabook and once you’re done collecting photos, measure your space and write down your preferred budget and project timeline.
