Custom Cabinetry in Monticello, FL

Rooms in Monticello's older homes often have ceiling and window heights that stock cabinetry does not plan for, so an off-the-shelf wall unit can stop well short and leave the proportions looking off. Building the run to the openings that are actually there, and taking it up to use the height the room has, is how you get a kitchen that feels current and fits. Kevin builds it to the room rather than to what a catalog assumes.

Monticello is the seat of Jefferson County, and the homes here are among the oldest anywhere we work. That age is why Kevin measures and builds to the real room, so an update fits and lasts.

Built-in cabinetry is where custom carpentry really shows its value. We design and build cabinetry, wardrobes, pantry shelving and wall units to the real dimensions of your room, so they fit tight where stock cabinets leave gaps. The boxes are built from materials chosen to hold up in this climate, which matters more here than in a drier one, because Florida humidity is hard on anything that swells. Doors and drawer fronts are made to match, in paint grade or stain grade, and each run is scribed to the wall so it closes neatly at both ends rather than being packed out with a filler strip. If you have already chosen your cabinets you do not need anyone to build them, only to fit them properly, and that is the same job to us. We assemble RTA cabinets, the flat packed kind that arrive as a stack of panels, and we install pre-built cabinets wherever you bought them. The installation is what decides how the kitchen looks, because the boxes arrive square and almost no wall in an older home is. Uppers are anchored into the studs, bases are shimmed level from the highest point of the floor, and the doors and drawer fronts are set to an even gap all the way along.
