cabinetry overview
Cabinetry Built to Fit Your Space, Not the Other Way Around
Cabinets do more than store things – they shape how a room actually functions day to day. #1 Construction has spent over 20 years designing and installing cabinetry for homeowners across Southeast Michigan, offering both fully custom builds and semi-custom or pre-made options depending on your budget and timeline.
We install cabinetry in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and basements, and we also handle refacing projects for homeowners whose existing cabinet boxes are still in good shape but need a completely different look. Whichever direction fits your project, our team manages design, material selection, and installation as one coordinated process rather than treating cabinetry as an afterthought bolted onto a bigger remodel.
Every cabinetry project is backed by a 1-year labor warranty, with free, itemized estimates delivered within a week.

Our Cabinetry Services
Whatever the room or budget, we offer the specific cabinetry service to match.
Not sure which option fits your project and budget? We’ll walk through the trade-offs during your free consultation.
Custom Cabinetry
Custom cabinets are built to your exact specifications – dimensions, materials, finishes, and layout designed specifically for your space rather than adapted from a standard size. This is the right choice when you want cabinetry to work around an unusual layout, maximize every inch of available space, or match a very specific design vision that off-the-shelf options can’t achieve.
Custom builds take longer and cost more than pre-made options, but for kitchens or built-ins where exact fit matters most, the difference shows.
Semi-Custom & Pre-Made Cabinets
Semi-custom and pre-made cabinets offer a faster, more budget-friendly path to a fully updated space without sacrificing quality. Semi-custom options allow some size and finish flexibility within a manufacturer’s existing product line, while pre-made cabinets come in standard sizes that we fit precisely to your space during installation.
For many kitchens, bathrooms, and storage spaces, semi-custom or pre-made cabinetry delivers a similar look to custom work at a meaningfully lower cost and shorter timeline.
Cabinet Refacing & Redooring
If your existing cabinet boxes are structurally sound but the look is dated, refacing is often the smarter move over full replacement. We remove and replace door fronts, drawer faces, and exposed veneer, updating the entire look of the cabinetry while keeping the existing boxes in place – a faster, less disruptive, and more affordable project than tearing everything out and starting over.
Looking to simply repaint your existing cabinets rather than replace the doors? Our Painting page → covers cabinet painting and refinishing.
Kitchen Cabinetry
Kitchen cabinets see more daily use than cabinetry anywhere else in the home, which is why layout and storage planning matter as much as style. We design kitchen cabinetry around how you actually cook and store things – corner solutions, pull-out organizers, and island storage – rather than a generic layout that looks good but doesn’t function well.
Bathroom & Vanity Cabinetry
Bathroom cabinetry deals with moisture and daily use in a smaller footprint than kitchens, which affects both material choice and layout. We install vanities and storage cabinetry designed to maximize a typically tight space while holding up to a bathroom’s specific conditions.
Garage & Basement Storage Cabinetry
Garages and basements are often the most underutilized storage space in a home. We design and install durable storage cabinetry built for these spaces specifically – heavier-duty materials and simpler finishes than you’d use in a kitchen, focused on function and organization over aesthetics.
Signs It's Time for New or Updated Cabinetry
- Cabinet doors or drawers that no longer close properly or have visible damage
- A kitchen or bathroom layout that doesn’t provide enough storage for your household
- Cabinet boxes that are structurally solid but look outdated – a strong candidate for refacing rather than replacement
- Garage or basement storage that’s currently just shelving or nothing at all
- Water damage or swelling, particularly common under bathroom or kitchen sinks
- Planning a kitchen or bathroom remodel where new cabinetry is part of the larger project
Our Cabinetry Process
1. Consultation
We discuss the room, your storage needs, and whether custom, semi-custom, or refacing makes the most sense for your budget and timeline.
2. Design & Material Selection
Layout, cabinet style, and finish options are finalized before any ordering or construction begins.
3. Detailed Estimate
An itemized estimate arrives within a week, covering materials and installation labor.
4. Ordering & Fabrication
Custom or semi-custom cabinets are ordered or built according to the finalized design.
5. Installation
Cabinets are installed with precise leveling and fitting, especially important in older homes with uneven walls or floors.
6. Final Walkthrough
We review the finished cabinetry together, confirming fit and finish - backed by a 1-year labor warranty.
How Much Does Cabinetry Cost in Michigan?
Cabinetry costs vary significantly based on whether you choose custom, semi-custom, or refacing, along with material and finish choices. A few factors that most affect price:
- Custom vs. semi-custom vs. pre-made – custom cabinetry carries the highest cost due to design and fabrication time; semi-custom and pre-made options cost less
- Refacing vs. full replacement – refacing existing cabinet boxes is typically less expensive than a full teardown and replacement
- Material and finish – solid wood, veneer, and finish quality all affect the overall cost
- Room size and cabinet count – a full kitchen naturally costs more than a single vanity or storage area
- Hardware and storage features – pull-out organizers, soft-close hinges, and specialty storage add to the total
Rather than publish a generic price range that may not reflect your specific project, we provide a free, itemized estimate after discussing your space and goals – so you know the real cost before any work is scheduled.

Cabinetry FAQs
How much does custom cabinetry cost in Michigan?
Cost depends on whether you choose custom, semi-custom, or refacing, along with material and finish choices. We provide a free, itemized estimate so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
What's the difference between cabinet refacing and full replacement?
Refacing replaces the doors, drawer fronts, and visible veneer while keeping your existing cabinet boxes in place – a faster, less expensive way to update the look. Full replacement removes everything, including the boxes, and is the better option if your current cabinets have structural damage or you’re changing the layout entirely.
Do you install cabinets in rooms other than kitchens?
Yes, we install cabinetry in bathrooms, garages, and basements, in addition to kitchens.
Should I choose custom or semi-custom cabinets?
It depends on your budget, timeline, and how specific your layout needs are. Custom cabinets offer an exact fit for unusual spaces or specific design goals, while semi-custom and pre-made options deliver a similar look for less cost and a shorter timeline.
How long does cabinet installation take?
Timelines vary – refacing projects are typically quicker than full custom installations, which can take longer due to design and fabrication time. We’ll give you a specific timeline during your consultation.
Is cabinetry installation covered by a warranty?
Yes, every cabinetry project we complete includes a 1-year labor warranty.
