Custom Cabinet Company in Woodbury, MN
Woodbury Custom Cabinetry is a custom cabinet company serving Woodbury, Minnesota and the east metro communities around it, covering the full scope a cabinet maker gets hired for: design, build, and installation. The work runs from first measurement to installed cabinets: kitchens, bathroom vanities, built-ins, and the laundry rooms, mudrooms, and offices in between. Every project is designed around the actual room, built to approved drawings, and installed plumb, level, and scribed to walls that are rarely either.
That covers face-frame and frameless construction, dovetailed drawer boxes, soft-close hinges and slides, and painted, stained, and two-tone finishes. Hardware gets specified rather than assumed, because full-extension undermount slides and adjustable cup hinges are the difference between cabinetry that ages and cabinetry that merely gets old. If the kitchen is the project, our custom kitchen cabinets page covers layout, construction choices, and per-foot pricing in detail. For bathrooms, the bathroom vanities and cabinets page walks through sizes, materials, and the moisture question.
Woodbury grew from 20,075 people in 1990 to 75,102 in 2020, and the city calls itself one of Minnesota's fastest growing cities for good reason. Census surveys put nearly half of its housing stock between 1990 and 2009, which means thousands of Woodbury kitchens are wearing their original builder-grade cabinets right now. Redesigning, refacing, or replacing that cabinetry is a large share of the work here, and all of it starts with a written estimate rather than a sales pitch.

Custom Kitchen Cabinets in Woodbury, MN
Kitchen cabinetry gets bought once every few decades, which is why it deserves more thought than a catalog page allows. Custom kitchen cabinets are designed around how you actually cook: where the pans land after the stove, how far the coffee lives from the water, whether the island needs to seat three kids doing homework.
The work includes pantry walls and tall storage, islands sized to the room, drawer banks in place of base doors, and corner solutions that stop wasting the most expensive real estate in the house.
Stock, semi-custom, and full custom each have their place, and part of the job is telling you plainly which one your kitchen calls for.
- Pantry walls, islands, and drawer banks
- Face-frame and frameless construction
- Painted, stained, and two-tone finishes
Custom Bathroom Cabinets in Woodbury, MN
Bathroom cabinetry lives a harder life than kitchen cabinetry: steam every morning, splashed water all day, and a fraction of the floor space to work with. Custom bathroom cabinets earn their keep by fitting the wall exactly and shrugging off the humidity.
That means vanities built to the inch, linen towers that use the full ceiling height, and materials and finishes chosen for wet rooms. Double sinks where the wall allows, smarter storage where it does not.
And when a stock vanity genuinely fits your bathroom, you will hear that from us too.
- Vanities sized to the wall, not the catalog
- Moisture-ready materials and finishes
- Linen towers and over-toilet storage
Custom Designed Cabinets, Built Around the Space
Every project here is designed before it is priced. That means measuring the room, drawing the cabinetry to scale, and settling the details that decide whether cabinets feel built for the house or brought to it: filler widths, appliance clearances, panel alignment, where the outlets land.
You approve the drawings, and the cabinetry is built to them. Depending on what the design calls for, construction may be fully custom or a modified semi-custom line; either way, the drawings are what the finished room gets measured against. The budget conversation lives here too, because trimming a design on paper costs nothing and trimming it during installation costs plenty.
Installation is the half of custom work the ads skip. Walls are rarely plumb and floors are rarely level, in new construction and 1990s construction alike, so cabinets get shimmed, scribed, and fastened to structure until the reveals are even and the doors swing true.
Stock, Semi-Custom, and Custom Cabinets Compared
Three tiers, three price bands, three honest use cases. The installed per-linear-foot ranges below come from current national cost guides.
Stock Cabinets
Roughly $100 to $400 per linear foot installed, most commonly $100 to $300. Built in fixed sizes on 3 inch increments, with gaps covered by filler strips and a short menu of finishes. Assembled stock arrives in about 2 to 4 weeks, which makes it the fast, budget-friendly answer for standard layouts.
Semi-Custom Cabinets
Roughly $150 to $650 per linear foot installed. The factory modifies depths, heights, and widths within limits and opens up a much wider door and finish catalog, typically on a 4 to 8 week build. For most straightforward kitchens with a wrinkle or two, this is the sweet spot.
Full Custom Cabinets
Roughly $500 to $1,200 per linear foot installed. Any dimension, any wood, any finish, built to the drawing rather than adapted from a catalog, usually 6 to 12 weeks or more. It is the only route when the room is irregular, the storage has a specific job to do, or the look has to match something no factory makes.
The tiers also mix. Plenty of east metro kitchens run semi-custom boxes down the main walls and spend full custom only where the room is odd: the island, the coffee bar, the window seat. Paying for custom exactly where custom is needed is usually the best money in the project.
What Custom Cabinetry Costs in the East Metro
Project-level ranges from current national cost guides, before anyone measures your room. A written estimate replaces these with a real figure.
$1,000 to $4,000 Custom Bathroom Vanity, Installed
Premade vanities install for less, roughly $400 to $1,700, and we will point you there when one fits. Custom pricing covers the cabinet, the fit, and the installation.
$4,500 to $10,500 Cabinet Refacing, Existing Boxes Kept
New doors, drawer fronts, and matching veneer over sound existing boxes. Runs 30 to 50 percent less than full replacement, which is why it comes up before any quote for new cabinets.
$15,000 to $36,000 Full Custom Kitchen, About 30 Linear Feet
Straight multiplication of the $500 to $1,200 per foot range across a typical 30 foot kitchen. Wood species, finish, and interior fittings decide where a project lands in that spread.
Countertops, appliances, and any plumbing or electrical changes are separate lines in a kitchen budget. Cabinetry is usually the largest of them, commonly cited around 29 percent of a full remodel under NKBA guidelines. Every range above gets replaced by a written estimate before anything is ordered.
Approximate Cost Calculator
Two picks get you a broad planning range from national cost guides.
Every project is different. Walls, materials, finishes, and interiors move real numbers in both directions, so treat this range as a budget planning starting point, not a quote. The real number comes from a measure and arrives in writing.
From First Measurement to Installed Cabinets
Three stages, each with numbers you can plan around.
Measure and Design
An in-home measure, a conversation about how the room actually gets used, and scaled drawings with a written estimate. Revisions happen here, on paper, where they cost nothing.
Built to Order
The cabinetry is built to the approved drawings. Semi-custom lines run about 4 to 8 weeks, full custom about 6 to 12, and spring orders in the Twin Cities land at the long end of those ranges.
Install and True Up
Delivery, installation, and the unglamorous work that makes it look right: shimming, scribing to the walls, aligning doors and drawer fronts, and a walkthrough before the job is called done.
Cabinet Problems That Do Not Need a Full Remodel
Plenty of calls here end without a cabinetry order, because the problem turns out smaller than it looked. A door that sags or will not stay shut is usually a worn hinge, and modern cup hinges adjust in three directions with a screwdriver. Drawers that bind on old side rollers can often be upgraded to full-extension soft-close slides while the boxes stay right where they are. Both fixes cost a fraction of new cabinetry and buy years.
Water tells a different story. A swollen, delaminating floor in the sink base points to a slow leak, and caught early, the damage often stops at that one panel, which can be replaced without touching the rest of the run. Peeling thermofoil doors next to the oven or dishwasher are a heat problem with a door-level fix. Finish worn through around the handles is cosmetic, and it is one of the standard reasons kitchens get refaced instead of replaced.
The honest test is accumulation. One tired hinge is a repair. A kitchen full of loose hinges, binding drawers, chipped fronts, and a layout that fights the cook is a remodel wearing a repair costume. Send a few photos and you will get a straight answer about which side of that line your kitchen is on, in writing, before anyone tries to sell you cabinets.
Replacing Builder-Grade Oak from the 1990s Building Boom
Woodbury more than doubled in the 1990s, from 20,075 people to 46,463, and kept building straight through the 2000s. Census surveys put nearly half of the city's housing stock between 1990 and 2009, and those are the golden oak years, when builders installed the same honey-toned cabinets in subdivision after subdivision.
The useful secret is that builder-grade boxes from that era are usually structurally sound; it is the doors, the finish, and the layout that date the kitchen. That opens three honest paths. Painting is cheapest, though oak's open grain telegraphs through paint unless the doors are grain-filled first, and that filling is most of the labor. Refacing replaces the doors, drawer fronts, and exposed surfaces over the existing boxes for 30 to 50 percent less than new cabinets. Full replacement is the answer when the layout itself is the problem.
If you are in Stonemill Farms, Wedgewood, Evergreen, or any other neighborhood that went up during the boom, odds are your kitchen is one of these. One visit is enough to tell you which path fits.
