Custom Kitchen Cabinets
Custom Kitchen Cabinets in Bethesda, Designed and Installed by the Same Team
As a kitchen cabinets contractor in Bethesda, MD, we design, order and install your cabinets as part of the remodel, so the same team measures, draws and fits them. When a store sells the cabinets and someone else installs them, gaps, wrong fillers and reordered pieces fall between the two. Here one contract covers both.

What Makes a Cabinet Last: Boxes, Doors and Drawers
Box material, drawer construction and hinge quality matter more to lifespan than the door style.
- Boxes: plywood outlasts particleboard, especially near sinks
- Drawers: dovetail joints over stapled corners
- Slides: full-extension, soft-close
- Construction: framed or frameless
- Doors: inset or full overlay
Designing Cabinets for Bethesda Kitchens
Older Bethesda kitchens are often narrow and have uneven walls and floors, so custom sizes and scribed fillers matter. We plan around plaster walls that aren't plumb, radiators, low soffits and, in condos, tight galley storage. See kitchen design.
How we work
How Cabinet Installation Works in a Remodel
- Field-measure after demolition, when the real wall lines show.
- Order to those measurements.
- Receive and inspect every piece against the drawings.
- Set and level, scribing to uneven walls.
- Template counters and adjust doors so everything lines up.
If a piece arrives damaged or wrong, we handle the reorder and the schedule change. You don't chase the supplier.
Should You Reface or Replace Your Cabinets?
Replace when the layout or boxes are the problem; reface when only the look is. See cabinet refacing in Bethesda.
