Custom cabinets

Custom cabinets Bay Area homeowners get as a service, not a shopping trip.

Cabinet design driven by the room layout, materials and finishes chosen against real lead times, and installation coordinated with the rest of the remodel — so the boxes fit the walls they were drawn for.

3: Layout, materials, and install decisions made together

Scope

Cabinets are a measurement problem before they are a style problem.

Most cabinet disappointments are not about door styles. They are about a layout that ignored the range hood, a delivery that arrived before the drywall, or an installer meeting the plan for the first time on site.

Kitchen cabinets

Full kitchen cabinet layouts designed around appliances, workflow, and storage — coordinated with counters, plumbing, and electrical so nothing collides in the field.

Bathroom vanities

Vanities and bath storage sized to real plumbing locations and clearances, with moisture-appropriate materials and finishes that survive daily use.

Built-ins and storage

Media walls, closets, mudrooms, and office built-ins designed as part of the room instead of furniture pushed against it.

Before ordering

What we settle before custom cabinets get ordered.

Cabinet orders are expensive to change and slow to remake, which is why the decisions happen on paper first.

Layout and function

Appliance sizes, clearances, and the actual work triangle of the room
Storage inventory — what the family owns, not what a catalog assumes
Wall conditions, out-of-square corners, and soffits measured before design

Materials and finish

Box construction, door material, and hardware matched to budget and use
Finish and color decisions coordinated with counters, flooring, and light
Where custom is worth the money and where a stock size does the same job

Order and install

Lead times confirmed before the order controls the remodel schedule
Delivery timed to site readiness — after drywall and paint, not before
Installation sequenced with counters, plumbing trim, and appliances

Why a service

The cabinet order should be the last risk, not the first.

Buying cabinets as a product puts the risk on the homeowner: you measure, you guess at clearances, you sign off on shop drawings you have never read before, and the installer you found separately inherits whatever went wrong. Fabuhome runs cabinets as a service — the same team that designs the layout checks the shop drawings, tracks the order, and coordinates the install with the trades around it.

That matters most when cabinets are part of a bigger remodel. Cabinet lead times commonly run six to twelve weeks and can control the entire project schedule, so we lock the cabinet decisions early, order against a confirmed site plan, and time delivery so finished boxes are not stored in a construction zone. If you are still comparing custom, frameless, and RTA options, our cabinets page covers the product side — this service is what happens after you choose.

FAQ

Custom cabinets questions.

Short answers for homeowners comparing scope, cost, timeline, and next steps.

What do custom cabinets cost in the Bay Area?

Cabinet cost is driven by linear footage, box construction, door material, finish complexity, and hardware — a painted custom kitchen costs meaningfully more than a stained frameless line of the same size. The honest way to price it is a measured layout and a material conversation, so the quote reflects your room instead of a showroom average.

How long do custom cabinets take?

Plan on several weeks of design and selection, then a production lead time that commonly runs six to twelve weeks depending on the maker and finish, plus installation. In a remodel, cabinets are usually the longest-lead item — which is why we order them early and build the construction schedule around the confirmed delivery date.

Do cabinets require a permit?

Replacing cabinets in the same layout generally does not require a permit. Permits enter the picture when the project moves plumbing, gas, or electrical, or removes walls — common in kitchen remodels. Fabuhome flags that line early so the cabinet plan and the permit scope are decided together instead of discovered mid-project.

Who is this custom cabinets Bay Area service for?

Homeowners doing a kitchen or bath remodel who want the cabinet layout, ordering, and installation handled as part of the project, and owners adding built-ins who want them designed for the room. If you only want to compare cabinet types and materials first, start with our cabinets page and come back when you are ready to build.

What makes Fabuhome different from a cabinet showroom?

A showroom sells boxes and hands you the coordination. Fabuhome designs the layout, reviews the shop drawings, tracks the order, and coordinates installation with the rest of the remodel as a licensed contractor (License #1133829). When the cabinet plan and the construction plan come from the same team, the gaps between them stop being your problem.
