Cabinet Makers

Cabinet makers: the phrase people search for. What we are is the designers: every carcase is measured and specified at our Alexandria showroom, built to order in Germany to your room's dimensions, and installed by our own team across Northern Virginia, Washington DC and Maryland. Made to measure, with factory finishes and an itemized specification instead of a shop estimate.

Yes. Every carcase is specified to your room's dimensions rather than picked from fixed widths, which is what lets cabinetry meet a ceiling, a window or an out-of-square wall without filler panels.

Yes. The Alexandria showroom has full-size kitchens on the floor: open the drawers, test the hinges, compare the fronts under real light.

We design, specify and measure for it, and your contractor installs it; or our own team does. Either way it is built to order in Germany to your room.

A few months from the day the design is released, with a delivery date you plan the rest of the project around. A complete kitchen takes about five months from signing.

Cabinetry alone starts at $15,000 for a small kitchen, $35,000 for a medium kitchen and $55,000 for a large one, itemized line by line. In 2026 our completed kitchen projects ran from $42,000 to $190,000 and up, with most between $90,000 and $145,000, as total installed values.

The things people want from a cabinet maker are real: cabinetry for one room, a person who measures it, a finish that lasts. Here is how each one is delivered here, and where we differ from a shop.

Cabinetry is built to order and cannot be returned, so the design and the itemized specification are approved on screen before anything is ordered.

A shop builds to the measurements its maker takes.

Our designer measures the room, the services and the clearances, and every carcase is specified to those dimensions, so cabinetry meets the ceiling, the window and an out-of-square wall without filler panels.

The shop, by hand, in its own workshop.

Paint or lacquer applied in the shop.

Factory lacquer, anti-fingerprint matte, real wood veneer, solid-wood framed fronts, metal-look and glass fronts, each one on the showroom floor to handle before you order.

Whatever the shop stocks.

Hinge and drawer systems you test in the showroom, inner drawers, pull-outs and pantry systems, itemized one by one.

Set by the shop's queue.

Production, shipping and installation run about 16 weeks from the day the design is released, with a delivery date you can plan the rest of the project around.

A shop estimate.

An itemized specification: every carcase, front, countertop, handle and internal system its own line. Cabinetry alone starts at $15,000 for a small kitchen, $35,000 for a medium kitchen and $55,000 for a large one.

The maker, or your contractor.

Our own team, the people who drew it; or we supply the cabinetry alone if you have your own contractor.

We review your room, your storage, your architecture and your budget at the Alexandria showroom, in a private design appointment, complimentary, with no time limit, and agree what the cabinetry has to do.

Layout, elevations, proportions and finishes come back as photorealistic 3D, so you approve the cabinetry on screen before anything is committed.

Every carcase, front, countertop, handle and internal system is itemized, so you can see exactly what you are paying for and adjust before release.

The approved specification goes into production in Germany, made to your dimensions, with a delivery date you can plan the rest of the project around.

The same team that designed the cabinetry checks the site and installs it, so nothing is lost in a handoff between the drawing and the tools.

From the day you sign, most kitchens take about five months: 2 to 4 weeks to settle the last details, then 16 weeks for production in Germany, shipping, installation and the tile work.

For cabinetry on its own, production and delivery typically run a few months from the point the design is approved and released. You receive a schedule once the design is final, and we plan the rest of the project around that date.

Cabinetry alone starts at $15,000 for a small kitchen, $35,000 for a medium kitchen and $55,000 for a large one. These figures are for custom cabinetry only. The final price depends on kitchen size, cabinet configuration, materials, internal storage and selected details. Countertops, appliances, construction and installation are priced separately unless included in the proposal.

The starting tiers are $15,000 for a small kitchen, $35,000 for a medium kitchen and $55,000 for a large one. The number of carcases is the first thing that moves the price.

Soft-matt lacquer, solid and veneered real wood, metal-look and mirror-glass fronts sit at different points in the range, and every one is on the showroom floor to compare.

Inner drawers, pull-outs, dividers and pantry systems are itemized one by one, so you can see what each adds.

Handles, or handleless fronts with a grip channel, and the hinge and drawer systems behind them.

Installation by our own team is its own line in the proposal, next to the cabinetry. If you have your own contractor, we can supply the cabinetry alone.

In 2026 our completed kitchen projects ran from $42,000 to $190,000 and up, with most between $90,000 and $145,000. Those are total installed values, not cabinetry prices.
