Custom cabinets are one of the best ways to add function, value, and style to your home. But what actually goes into creating them? At Delta Woodworks FL, we believe in full transparency and craftsmanship. Understanding the cabinet-making process helps homeowners feel confident and informed from the first consultation to final installation.
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how custom cabinetry is designed, built, and installed—tailored specifically for South Florida homes.
Step 1: Initial consultation
Every project starts with a conversation. During your consultation, we discuss your space, style preferences, storage needs, and budget. Whether you’re remodeling a kitchen or updating a bathroom vanity, we gather all the details needed to bring your vision to life.
Step 2: Measurements and space evaluation
Accurate measurements are critical to ensure a proper fit. Our team visits your home to take detailed measurements, assess structural conditions, and evaluate layout considerations like plumbing, appliances, or electrical work.
Step 3: Design and planning
Next, we create a custom design based on your specifications. This includes cabinet layout, door style, hardware, wood type, and finish. We may provide 3D renderings or sketches so you can visualize the final product before construction begins.
Step 4: Material selection
Choosing the right materials impacts both the appearance and performance of your cabinets. We help you select wood species, finishes, and hardware suited to Florida’s climate and your design goals. Durability, moisture resistance, and maintenance are all factored into our recommendations.
Step 5: Custom fabrication
With the design and materials approved, our craftsmen begin building your cabinets at our shop. Every piece is cut, assembled, and finished with precision. Because we build everything from scratch, we can accommodate unique sizes and custom features.
Step 6: Quality inspection
Before anything leaves our shop, we perform a thorough quality check. We inspect for smooth finishes, proper alignment, hardware function, and overall construction integrity to ensure everything meets our standards—and yours.
Step 7: Delivery and installation
Once complete, your cabinets are delivered and installed by our experienced team. We handle all adjustments, ensure level placement, and secure everything for long-term performance. Our goal is a seamless fit that looks built-in and beautiful.
Step 8: Final walkthrough and care tips
After installation, we walk through the finished space with you and answer any questions. We also provide care and maintenance tips to help keep your cabinets looking great in South Florida’s humid conditions.
