Custom cabinetry in Delray Beach runs $8,000–$30,000+. In downtown's near-century-old bungalows we build period-sympathetic cabinetry; in Tropic Isle and barrier-island homes we build in teak and sealed hardwoods that hold up to salt air. Free in-home design.
Delray's split between historic downtown homes and waterfront properties drives the cabinetry approach — clean modern runs for a Pineapple Grove loft, salt-aware teak for a Tropic Isle waterfront kitchen.
For historic Del-Ida and Lake Ida homes, we match new cabinetry to the proportions and trim of the original house rather than fighting it.
What Delray Beach projects involve
- Historic downtown homes where refinishing original woodwork preserves character and value
- Barrier-island and waterfront salt-air exposure that rewards teak and proper sealing
- Delray runs its own building department, with permit rules separate from Boca's
Permits: Cabinet refinishing, refacing, and painting with no plumbing, electrical, or structural change are generally permit-exempt in Boca Raton. Moving walls, relocating plumbing or electrical, or running power to new cabinetry requires a permit. Rules vary by city — Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, and West Palm Beach run their own building departments with their own fees.
What built-to-order actually changes
Stock and semi-custom cabinets come in fixed widths, so a kitchen ends up with filler strips, dead corners, and gaps where the run meets the wall. We build each cabinet to the room's real dimensions — out-of-square walls, dropped soffits, and odd appliance sizes included.
Every box, face frame, and door is made for your project. That is the difference between cabinetry that looks installed and cabinetry that looks built in.
- Gola (handle-less) and inset door styles for a clean modern face
- Full-height pantry, appliance garages, and integrated paneling
- Drawer boxes and slides rated for daily use, not flat-pack life
Choosing the wood
Species sets the grain, the way it takes finish, and how it behaves in South Florida humidity. We work primarily in rift-sawn white oak for clean linear grain, red oak for value and depth of stain, cherry for furniture-grade warmth, and teak for waterfront and marine work.
How a custom project runs
We measure on site, design to your layout, and confirm species, finish, and hardware before a board is cut. Most custom cabinetry runs four to eight weeks from approved design to installation.

Frequently asked questions
Teak and properly sealed hardwoods. On the barrier island and along Tropic Isle's canals, salt air degrades standard finishes and hardware, so we specify for the environment.
Custom cabinetry typically runs $8,000–$30,000+ depending on the length of the run, the wood species, and the door style. We price each project off your measured layout, not a per-foot guess.
If your boxes are sound and you like the layout, refacing or refinishing costs far less. Choose custom when boxes are failing, you want a new layout, or you want a specific wood and door style built to your room.
Rift-sawn white oak moves the least and reads clean and modern; teak is the choice near salt air. We seal every species for Florida humidity and bright UV light.
