Custom kitchen cabinets are built to the exact dimensions of your room, not pulled off a box-store shelf and forced to fit. San Marcos Custom Cabinets measures every kitchen on-site before cutting a single board. That matters in a city with a real mix of older river-adjacent homes and newer builds from the last decade of growth along the I-35 corridor.
A stock 36-inch run rarely sits flush against a wall that's been settling for sixty years. A custom one does.

Boxes are built in the shop to the approved specs.
Step 4Door And Finish Selection
You pick door style and finish before the build moves forward.
Step 5Quality Inspection
Every box gets checked for square, fit, and finish before it leaves the shop.
Step 6Professional Installation
Cabinets go in level and secured, with final adjustments made on-site.
Materials
Materials and methods for Custom Kitchen Cabinets
Central Texas humidity swings hard between a wet spring and a dry August, and kitchen cabinets take the brunt of it with daily steam and temperature changes. We build and finish accordingly.
Maple Cabinet Boxes
A dense hardwood that resists warping through seasonal humidity swings, holding its shape over years of daily use.
Soft-Close Hinges
Hardware that keeps doors from slamming shut in a kitchen that sees heavy traffic from a full household or rental tenants.
Custom Drawer Boxes
Reinforced joints built to carry the weight of cookware without the sides pulling loose over time.
Decorative Cabinet Hardware
Handles and pulls chosen to match the kitchen's style, from older craftsman homes to newer builds near Texas State.
Moisture-Resistant Finish
A sealed coating that stands up to steam and spills better than a bare painted surface would.
Adjustable Shelving
Shelves that reposition easily, useful in kitchens where storage needs shift as a family or rental tenant changes.

Custom Kitchen Cabinets FAQs
How much do custom kitchen cabinets cost in San Marcos?
Most full-kitchen jobs run $8,000 to $25,000 depending on box material, door style, and kitchen size. A single-wall update or partial swap runs lower. A free estimate gets you a firm number based on your layout.
How long does a full kitchen cabinet job take?
Expect several weeks total, mostly shop build time. Install itself usually takes 2-4 days once boxes are ready.
Can cabinets be built around appliances I'm keeping?
Yes. We measure your existing appliances and design cabinet openings to match, so you don't have to replace a fridge or range just to get new cabinets.
Do I need a permit for new kitchen cabinets?
Straight cabinet replacement usually doesn't require a permit. If you're moving plumbing or electrical for a layout change, that typically does.
Is DIY kitchen cabinet installation a good idea?
Simple stock cabinet swaps can be DIY-friendly. Custom boxes built to fit an uneven wall or wrap around appliances are harder to get right without experience, and a bad fit shows immediately.
What's the difference between semi-custom and full custom?
Semi-custom starts from stock sizes with some modification. Full custom is built from scratch to your exact measurements, which matters most in older homes with irregular walls.
