In short

How we work

High-end kitchen cabinets, defined by construction and fit rather than price: carcases made to your room, fronts in solid or veneered real wood, a metal look, glass or lacquer, hinge and drawer systems you can test on the showroom floor, built to order in Germany and installed by our own team across Northern Virginia, Washington DC and Maryland.

The answer

What makes kitchen cabinets high-end?

High-end kitchen cabinets are defined by construction and fit rather than price alone: carcases built to the room's measurements, hinge and drawer systems that hold up through daily use, and fronts in solid or veneered real wood, a metal or slate look, glass or lacquer with an anti-fingerprint surface. Our cabinetry is Nolte, built to order in Löhne, Germany, designed and installed by our own team across Northern Virginia, Washington DC and Maryland.

What high-end means

Where high-end cabinetry differs

High-end is decided by construction and fit, not by the price alone. This is where the cabinetry we build differs from mass-market cabinetry, line by line.

Cabinetry is built to order and cannot be returned, so the design is settled on screen before anything is released to production.

What high-end means

Construction

Fixed widths, filler panels where the room does not fit.

Every carcase made to your measurements, so cabinetry meets a ceiling, a window or an out-of-square wall cleanly.

What high-end means

Hinges and drawers

Varies by brand.

Engineered hinge and drawer systems with soft-close, hand-finished and inspected, that you can test on the showroom floor.

What high-end means

Fronts

A short menu of doors and colors.

Solid-wood framed fronts, real wood veneer such as grooved oak and walnut, Primo real oak veneer, gold and bronze metal-look fronts, tinted mirror glass, slate-look fronts, acrylic glass, soft-matt and anti-fingerprint lacquers.

What high-end means

Interiors

A short list of inserts.

The Matrix storage system: carcase heights and interior fittings planned around what you store.

What high-end means

Finish over time

Varies.

Finishes that hold their color and texture through daily use.

What high-end means

Who installs

Usually your contractor.

Our own team measures the site and fits it, or we supply the cabinetry to your contractor.

How the project runs

01Consultation

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.

How the project runs

023D Cabinet Design

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

How the project runs

03Specification and Quote

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

How the project runs

04Built to Order in Germany

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.

How the project runs

05Measurement and Fit

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.

How the project runs

Timeline for a complete kitchen

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.

The cost

What high-end kitchen cabinets cost, and what moves the number

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.

What moves the number

The size of the kitchen

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.

What moves the number

Fronts

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.

What moves the number

Interiors

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

What moves the number

Hardware

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

What moves the number

Installation

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.

What moves the number

A complete remodel

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.

Directions to the showroom

Asked often

What makes kitchen cabinets truly custom?

Custom means the cabinetry is planned and manufactured for your room rather than assembled from stock sizes. Carcase widths, heights, and depths are set to your walls and ceilings, interiors are planned around what you actually store, and the fronts, finishes, and hardware are specified rather than picked from a short menu. Nothing is trimmed with filler panels to cover a gap.

Asked often

Where are your cabinets made?

Our cabinetry is manufactured in Germany and built to order for each project. German production gives you tighter tolerances, better hinge and drawer engineering, and finishes that hold their color and texture through daily use. Some of the design directions we work in are Italian inspired, but the cabinetry itself is made in Germany.

Asked often

Which cabinet brands do you carry?

Our kitchen cabinetry is Nolte, built to order in Germany. We do not sell stock or semi-custom brands, so if you are comparing KraftMaid, Fabuwood or Forevermark, expect a different product and a different price: cabinetry here starts at $15,000.

Asked often

How much do custom kitchen cabinets cost in Northern Virginia?

As a planning guide, cabinetry for a smaller kitchen starts around $15,000, a medium kitchen around $35,000, and a larger kitchen around $55,000. These are cabinetry starting points, not the cost of a complete renovation. Countertops, appliances, and construction work are quoted separately so you can see what each part of the project costs.

Asked often

Can I see and compare the actual cabinets before I order?

Yes, and we strongly recommend it. Our Alexandria showroom holds full-size cabinet displays, so you can open drawers, test soft-close hardware, compare matte lacquer against real wood grain and metal, and see how finishes read under real light. Photos flatten the differences that matter most.

Asked often

Do you handle installation, or do I need my own contractor?

We install. The same team that designs and specifies your cabinetry measures the site and fits it, so there is no handoff between the design and the people holding the tools, and no gap where responsibility gets lost.
