How Long Do Custom Cabinets Take?

What to Expect

One of the most common questions we get is: “How long does it take to get custom cabinets?”

The honest answer is—it depends. But here’s a realistic breakdown so you know what to expect.

Step 1: Design & Planning (1–2 Weeks)

This is where we dial everything in—layout, style, materials, and finishes. Taking time here ensures everything goes smoothly later.

Step 2: Build Phase (2–5 Weeks)

Once the design is finalized, your cabinets are built in the shop. This is where quality craftsmanship really matters.

Step 3: Finishing & Prep (1–2 Weeks)

Painting, staining, and finishing touches happen here. This step is key to getting that clean, professional look.

Step 4: Installation (2–5 Days)

Installation is typically quick compared to the rest of the process, but it’s just as important to get it right.

Total Timeline

Most cabinet projects take 4–8 weeks from start to finish, depending on size and complexity.

Why It’s Worth the Wait

Quality takes time. Rushed cabinet jobs often lead to issues down the road. A well-built, properly installed set of cabinets will last for years—and that’s the goal.
