Truly custom cabinets are built entirely from scratch to your exact specifications without any pre-fabricated components. Unlike semi-custom options that modify existing templates with limited options, our custom work begins with your space and needs, not with standardized boxes. This allows for exact sizing to the 1/16 inch, integration with architectural features, and complete material freedom not possible with modified mass-produced cabinets.
A complete custom kitchen typically requires 10-14 weeks from initial design to completed installation. This includes 2-3 weeks for design development, 1-2 weeks for material selection and ordering, 6-8 weeks for hand crafting in our Eugene workshop, and 1-2 weeks for precision installation. Historic homes in University District or Fairmount neighborhoods may require additional time due to their unique architectural considerations.
Absolutely. Our team includes specialists in historical woodworking techniques and period-appropriate design. For homes in Eugene’s historic districts, we research architectural details from your home’s specific era, from 1890s Victorian to 1930s Craftsman to mid-century modern, ensuring your custom cabinets authentically complement your home’s architectural heritage while incorporating modern functionality.
Our custom cabinets are specifically engineered for the Pacific Northwest climate. We select and properly season hardwoods known for dimensional stability, employ traditional joinery that allows for natural wood movement, and apply specialty finishes that create effective moisture barriers. Additionally, we can incorporate hidden ventilation features that allow cabinets to naturally regulate humidity levels, preventing warping and ensuring decades of flawless operation.
Yes, we’ve developed partnerships with local Eugene financial institutions that understand the investment value of custom cabinetry. We offer competitive financing plans specifically for premium home improvements, including 60-month options at preferred rates for qualified homeowners, making true custom craftsmanship more accessible.
