Stock Cabinets vs. Custom Cabinets

When it comes to remodeling your cabinets, there is a lot of things to consider; one of the first steps typically involves deciding on the type of cabinetry you want for your home. There are two basic types of cabinets: stock (store-bought) cabinets and custom cabinets. While these two cabinet types offer many of the same advantages, there are a few differences that can impact your final decision. Let’s take a closer look:

Stock Cabinets

Store-bought cabinets can be purchased at a wide variety of home improvement stores and typically come in standard designs, neutral colors, and paint-ready finishes. While stock cabinets make the process of finding and receiving cabinets convenient, there are some drawbacks – lack of design versatility is one of the biggest. This can include limited cabinet dimensions, color blends, and special features such as additional interior shelving and hardware options.  

Custom Cabinets

Custom cabinets are a preferred cabinet style for many homeowners for the following reasons:

  • Quality – Custom cabinets are crafted to suit your exact needs. From decorative details to the intricacies in the overall construction, your cabinets are built to last.
  • Design versatility – You can choose from a variety of colors, finishes, designs, and other unique elements to truly personalize your cabinetry.
  • Perfect fit – Measured to the exact dimensions of your home, your cabinets will be installed seamlessly for the perfect fit.
