Custom Cabinet FAQ — Countryside Cabinets & Doors

Question 1

How does the custom cabinet process work?

Accepted Answer

We start with a free in-home consultation where we measure your space, discuss your style preferences, and review material options. From there, we provide a detailed quote. Once approved, we move into design, fabrication, and finally professional installation — typically within 6–10 weeks depending on project scope.

Question 2

Do you offer free consultations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer complimentary in-home consultations throughout our service area in Central Texas. During the visit, we'll assess your space, listen to your vision, and walk you through cabinet styles, finishes, and hardware options.

Question 3

How long does it take to complete a cabinet project?

Accepted Answer

Most kitchen projects take 6–10 weeks from signed contract to completed installation. Smaller projects like bathroom vanities or mudroom built-ins typically run 2–3 weeks. Lead times can vary based on material availability and our current schedule.

Question 4

Do you handle installation, or just fabrication?

Accepted Answer

We handle everything — design, fabrication, and professional installation. You work with our team from the first consultation through the final walkthrough. We do not sell cabinets for self-installation.

Question 5

How much do custom cabinets cost?

Accepted Answer

Every project is unique, so pricing depends on the size of the space, cabinet style, wood species, finish, and hardware selected. Kitchen projects typically start around $8,000 and can range significantly based on scope. We provide detailed, itemized quotes so you know exactly what you're getting.

Question 6

Do you require a deposit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We require a deposit to begin fabrication, with the balance due upon completion of installation. Specific deposit amounts are outlined in your project contract.

Question 7

Can I get a quote without an in-home visit?

Accepted Answer

All quotes require an in-home measurement. We do not provide estimates based on photos or submitted dimensions alone. An on-site visit ensures we account for every detail of your space and give you an accurate, reliable number.

Question 8

What cabinet styles do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We build Shaker, Inset, Raised Panel, Slab/Modern, and custom styles. Each can be tailored with your choice of wood species, finish, and hardware. Visit our Cabinet Showcase page to explore all available styles.

Question 9

What wood species do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We work with a wide range of domestic and imported hardwoods including maple, oak, cherry, hickory, alder, and walnut. We can also source specialty woods upon request. Our team will help you choose the right species for your style and budget.

Question 10

Do you offer painted finishes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer painted, stained, glazed, and natural finishes. Our painted cabinets are sprayed in a controlled environment for a smooth, durable finish. We can match virtually any color, including custom paint matches.

Question 11

Are your cabinets solid wood or plywood construction?

Accepted Answer

We use solid wood face frames and doors with premium plywood box construction. Plywood boxes are stronger, more stable, and more resistant to moisture than particleboard alternatives — and they hold screws better over time.

Question 12

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We are based in Thorndale, Texas and serve the greater Central Texas region including Austin, Round Rock, Georgetown, Taylor, Waco, Temple, Killeen, and surrounding communities. Visit our Service Areas page for a full list.

Question 13

Do you work outside of Central Texas?

Accepted Answer

On a case-by-case basis, we may take on projects outside our primary service area for larger scopes. Contact us to discuss your project and location.

Question 14

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Countryside Cabinets & Doors is fully licensed and insured. We are also proudly veteran-owned and operated.
