Stock cabinets are mass-produced and come in standard sizes and colors. Generally these cabinets look good on the outside, but may suffer from low-end interior materials that often result in less stability and wear.
Semi-custom cabinets offer some flexibility in sizes and finishes.
Custom cabinets, like those from River Woodcraft, are built from scratch and engineered to fit your space exactly—offering complete freedom over size, materials, finishes, and interior accessories.
Great question! This answer is not the same for everyone or every project.
Keeping the footprint of your kitchen the same?
If the existing layout, plumbing, electric/gas will stay roughly the same, start by asking us to quote an estimated cost of custom cabinets by providing your linear foot of perimeter and island cabinetry to start. It helps to have some inspiration photos and images of your existing kitchen for more accurate pricing.
Once you’re ready to move forward with design, we take a small design deposit (credited back upon a final cabinetry order with us.), and guide you through layout planning, material selections, and functional design ideas based on your lifestyle. It’s helpful to have a budget range and a wish list ready.
Hope to take down walls, enlarge your space or make a more drastic upgrade?
It’s best to contact a professional contractor and/or architect depending on the complexity in scope. Let them know you’ve chosen your desired cabinet maker with River Woodcraft, and here we can collaborate with your builder for the ultimate dream kitchen.
At River Woodcraft, the typical fabrication timeline for custom cabinetry varies depending on the size, scope and complexity of your project. Vanities tend to range between 8-10 weeks, small kitchens with stock finishes and minimalist doors, between 12-14 weeks, and larger, more customized cabinets can take between 16-18 weeks or more.
We take great pride in the craftsmanship that defines our work. Each cabinet is handcrafted with precision, not mass-produced, which means we invest the time necessary to ensure every joint, finish, and detail meets our uncompromising standards. We do not rush our process—because exceptional quality takes time.
