District Custom Woodworks
Custom Cabinet Builders in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 1, 2018
“We had a 5-star experience with District Cabinetry (also known as District Custom Woodworks)! It started with the careful and thoughtful consideration of our needs and preferences in discussions with owner Benton Chrea. He asked great questions and listened carefully to our answers! He came up with a preliminary design that we modified with his help into its final form. We were so pleased in the planning stage for the initial project caused us to add 2 other projects for other rooms. In the end, he did a huge built-in for the study, another large one for the master bedroom, and transformed a very complicated master closet footprint into a design that maximized every bit of space available. He personally visited the house twice to ensure good measurements and to be sure that we all visualized the same end product. Benton will tell you that I have a lot of construction experience (as a developer and builder), and I quizzed him on technical details of the design that he was unused to from customers. Let us just say that we were at the same time discriminating and exacting and he had excellent answers to all of my concerns. The project was finished on time (actually, a little earlier than originally planned) and was finished exactly on budget. Frankly, in the beginning, I thought the proposed charges were kind of high, but we had seen some of his work and his showroom and had developed faith in him, his product and team. The final product is beautiful, met all our design and quality goals, and is clearly engineered and manufactured down to the millimeter. His installation team was fantastic! They spent the better part of 3 days installing and tweaking everything, making sure we understood how to take out the drawers (a little tricky, as they are fancy, really nice, European hardware), etc. The installers were friendly, careful, respectful of our home and were clearly focused on achieving a quality result and pleasing us. So, in the end, my concerns over price were entirely unfounded, because the time invested in creating the design, the quality of the actual product and the care and professionalism of the installers proved to me that my wife was right – we really should pick District Cabinetry for our project! We unhesitatingly endorse Benton and District Cabinetry! We love and use our 3 built-ins every day and appreciate their work (and our investment) every time we use it! We just finished building a pretty complex home and this vendor is at the top of our list in every respect. Our biggest regret in our new home is that we had to buy our kitchen from our builder, Toll Brothers. We would have much preferred to spend that budget at District Cabinetry to get a unique and custom kitchen adapted precisely to our tastes and needs, where our smaller projects tell us that they would have excelled! Please don’t think that I am a gushing kind of person. Neither of us are. We are simply that pleased! This is easily some of the best money we ever spent on any of our homes! If we can refer District Cabinetry to anyone, we will certainly do so. If we can use them again, we would not hesitate. In today’s world, getting what you paid for is a challenge. We got what we paid for in product and in service and could not be happier about it! PS I attach photos of the study built-in. It is hard to photograph the other ones, given their location.”

If you’re having trouble finding stock cabinets for your home in Washington D.C., DC, 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.
