Custom Kitchen Cabinets in Marin County

Cabinet boxes for Marin County projects are typically constructed from ¾-inch plywood, laminated board, or MDF — we offer cabinet boxes made from high-quality laminated board and plywood. Marin County's coastal climate — persistent marine layer, seasonal moisture variation, and fog — makes the full edge-banding treatment on every cabinet component side especially important for long-term performance. Plywood's dimensional stability and laminated board's moisture-resistant surface are both well-suited to Marin's conditions. All panels provide a smooth, durable surface that resists everyday wear and is easy to maintain, making them a practical choice for modern kitchens. We use press-in (dowel) hinges, which prevent screws from loosening over time and significantly extend the lifespan of the kitchen. We edge-band every cabinet component on all sides to fully protect it from moisture. This not only prevents chips and damage at the corners but also ensures a flawless, high-end finish that looks truly professional. Back panels are ¾-inch plywood or laminated board.

Our standard frameless, full-overlay construction produces a clean contemporary look where each door covers the entire cabinet face with no visible frame. For Marin County homeowners with craftsman or shingle-style homes, hillside contemporary builds, Victorian properties in older neighborhoods, or cottage-style homes throughout the county, we also build face-frame cabinets with inset or partial-overlay doors to complement your home's existing architecture.

Marin County homeowners tend toward finishes that balance sophistication with natural warmth. Flat-panel slab doors are a top choice for mid-century and contemporary homes, while shaker profiles work well in transitional kitchens that blend modern function with classic lines. We also build raised-panel doors for traditional interiors and glass-front options for displaying curated dishware or collections. Materials range from solid hardwood (walnut, white oak, rift-cut oak) to MDF for smooth painted finishes and high-gloss acrylic for ultra-modern designs.

For paint, we apply multiple coats with sanding between layers for a durable, furniture-quality surface. Any color is available — Marin clients often select warm whites, soft linen tones, and muted coastal blues that complement natural light and views. Stained finishes let natural wood grain show through, and we can match or complement existing millwork, flooring, or architectural details throughout your home.

Soft-close hinges come standard on every project — they prevent door slamming and reduce wear on the cabinet box over time. Undermount drawer slides with soft-close mechanisms handle heavy loads and glide smoothly at full extension, which matters when you're reaching for pots or pantry items daily.

For Marin kitchens where design and function need to work seamlessly together, we install integrated lighting, touch-latch doors for handleless designs, motorized lift systems for upper cabinets, and custom interior fittings — from knife blocks and spice inserts to deep pot drawers and under-sink organizers. All hardware comes from European manufacturers — Blum, Hettich, and Salice — selected for reliability across thousands of open-close cycles.
