Purchasing new cabinets is an exciting prospect. But it can also be a confusing one. What is the difference between stock, semi-custom, and custom cabinet services? And how do you know which one to choose?
We have the answers. Here are stock, semi-custom, and custom cabinet services, explained.
Stock Cabinet Services
Stock cabinet services are the most affordable of the three options. But there’s a tradeoff. You won’t have the ability to customize your cabinets or fit them to your space. And often, stock cabinets sacrifice quality.
You’ll need to be careful if you’re considering purchasing stock cabinets. While stock cabinets conform to standard sizes, there can be a wide variety in materials and craftmanship.
For example, many stock cabinets are constructed from particleboard or plywood. Some of the cheapest stock cabinets even include cardboard in their construction! If you are looking for durable cabinets that will stand the test of time, pay close attention to the materials your cabinets are made from.
Here at Edgewood Cabinetry, we craft our stock cabinets with the same care you can expect from our semi-custom and custom cabinets. They are simply standard size cabinets.
We never cut corners! Our stock cabinets are constructed from all wood. They also feature soft close hardware. Plus, we include a designed layout and professional installation.
Stock cabinets are wonderful if you want an affordable option and don’t need customization. Keep in mind, though, that stock cabinets come in predetermined sizes. So you may experience gaps where the cabinets do not completely fill your walls.
Semi-Custom Cabinet Services
Semi-custom cabinet services combine the affordability of stock cabinets with a few custom elements. For example, you can select different hardware. Or choose custom accessories to gain more function from your cabinets. Lazy Susans, drawer organizers, and pull-outs are excellent choices.
Additionally, you can customize the shade of paint or stain you prefer. We’re even able to color-match your cabinets! Just bring in a sample. We’ll be happy to match the shade.
You may still experience gaps with semi-custom cabinets. But you can choose custom elements to fill them. Add a shelf for your favorite knick-knacks. Include a spice rack. Or just dress your cabinets up with custom trim.
For many people, semi-custom cabinets strike the perfect balance between stock and fully custom cabinets. You’re still limited to stock cabinet sizes. But you can add a few personal touches. That may be all the customization you need!
Custom Cabinet Services
Custom cabinet services are the most expensive of the three options. But they also offer you unlimited possibilities. So if your space and budget allow it, we can build it!
With custom cabinet services, you control every detail of your cabinets. Choose your favorite wood species. Select the perfect color. And pick out your own unique hardware. Plus, since custom cabinets are built to fit your space, you won’t have to worry about unsightly gaps.
Edgewood Cabinetry offers a full range of custom cabinet options. Include spice racks, drawer organizers, pull-downs, and more. We can even customize your range hood to match your new cabinets! Need a larger cabinet for oversize appliances? We can do that, too!
Furthermore, don’t be afraid to think outside the box! Want a custom kitchen island? No problem. Dreaming of a home bar? We’ll make it a reality.
At Edgewood Cabinetry, we work with you to design exactly the cabinets you want. And we’ll keep you involved at every step of the process. We want to be sure you’re satisfied!
The sky is the limit with custom cabinets! But remember, due to the design and customization process, custom cabinet services take the longest of the three options. However, they are well worth the wait. Your beautiful new cabinets will fit seamlessly into your home and cater to your unique needs.
Whether you opt for stock, semi-custom, or custom cabinet services, we hope you’ll choose Edgewood Cabinetry for your cabinet needs.
