Custom Cabinets
Custom cabinet makers near me in San Marcos
Stock cabinets from a box store come in fixed sizes. Older San Marcos homes, especially ones near the river, rarely have square walls or standard room dimensions. That mismatch is where a lot of DIY kitchen projects go sideways.
San Marcos Custom Cabinets builds cabinetry measured to your actual space. Kitchens, closets, bathrooms, garages. The city's growth along the I-35 corridor means we work with longtime owners updating older homes and newer residents renovating a recent purchase, often in the same week.

Why choose us
Why choose San Marcos Custom Cabinets
We measure before we build
Every job starts with an on-site measure, not a guess from a catalog. Uneven walls and odd corners get accounted for before a single board is cut.
Materials chosen for this climate
Central Texas humidity swings move wood. We pick box material and finish systems that hold up to it, not just whatever's cheapest.
Written estimates, no surprises
You get a scope and a price before work starts. No change orders showing up halfway through a build.
Built around your appliances
New fridge doesn't match old cutouts? We design cabinetry to fit what you already own, or what you're installing next.

5 out of 5 starsHonestly did not expect such a professional team. They showed up on time, explained every step, and the custom closet cabinets turned out better than I pictured.

5 out of 5 starsPrice was way more affordable than the other quotes we got for custom bathroom vanities. Still felt premium — clean jobsite, solid finish, and I'd hire them again without thinking twice.

Common questions
Custom Cabinets FAQs
How much does Custom Cabinets cost in San Marcos?
Most projects run from a few thousand dollars for a single vanity or pantry to $20,000 or more for a full kitchen rebuild. Material tier, box count, and finish level move the number most.
How long does Custom Cabinets take?
A single room typically takes 2-4 weeks from measure to install. Full kitchens run 5-7 weeks because shop build time stacks on top of design approval.
Do I need a permit for Custom Cabinets?
Straight cabinet swaps usually don't need one. If you're moving plumbing or electrical as part of a layout change, your city or county likely requires a permit.
Is DIY Custom Cabinets a good idea?
Swapping stock cabinets in a square room can be a reasonable DIY project. Custom fit around uneven walls or appliances is where a pro saves you from a crooked, ill-fitting result.
When should I call a Custom Cabinets pro?
Call when walls are out of square, when new appliances don't match old cutouts, or when you're prepping a rental for durable, low-maintenance cabinetry.
What affects Custom Cabinets pricing?
Box material, door style, finish grade, hardware, and how many linear feet you're covering. Layout changes that touch plumbing or electrical add cost too.
What is typically included in Custom Cabinets?
Cabinet boxes, doors, drawer fronts, hardware, and installation. Layout design and finish selection are part of the process before anything gets built.
How do I prepare my home for Custom Cabinets?
Clear the room of breakables, have a style direction in mind, and note any appliances staying in place. Photos of the current space help at the first visit.
