Custom Cabinets in Edgewood, NM

The cabinets are built here

Every cabinet we install anywhere in central New Mexico is built at 2369 Old Hwy 66 in Edgewood. For Edgewood customers that means something concrete: you can drive over and see your cabinets in progress. You can put your hand on the plywood, see the door style hanging on the rack, and look at the finish on a real panel instead of a chip. There is no catalog and no distributor between you and the people building your kitchen.

It also means the shortest version of every timeline we run, no travel charge, and a crew that is usually ten minutes away if something needs a second look after install.

East Mountain houses are custom-cabinet houses

Edgewood, Moriarty, Tijeras, Cedar Crest, and Sandia Park have almost no tract housing. Owner-built homes, custom homes on acreage, manufactured homes on permanent foundations, and additions built in phases over decades. Odd wall lengths, non-square corners, vaulted and varied ceilings. Stock cabinets in three-inch increments fight all of that with filler strips. Ours are built to the measured wall and scribed on install, which is the only approach that produces a fitted result in a house like these.

What East Mountain homeowners choose

Stained knotty alder leads by a wide margin. It takes a warm stain, hides the dings of a real household, and belongs in a mountain house. Hickory for more grain and contrast. Painted Shaker for anyone who wants a lighter kitchen under a dark ceiling. Deep drawers, full-height pantries, and a lot of storage, because the nearest grocery store is not around the corner. Soft-close hinges and full-extension slides on everything.

Built for this air

East Mountain humidity sits around twenty percent and drops lower in spring. Cabinets built in a humid factory shrink here. Ours are built, finished, and stored in the same air they will live in, so what goes into your kitchen has already acclimated. Wood-stove households get an extra conversation about finish and panel construction, because a stove drops indoor humidity to single digits in winter.

How we build cabinets for Edgewood homes

Custom does not mean expensive for its own sake. It means the box is built to the wall you actually have, in the increment you actually need, rather than the closest three-inch stock size plus a filler strip. In a region where very few walls are square and ceiling heights change room to room, that is usually the difference between a kitchen that looks fitted and one that looks installed.

• Boxes. Three-quarter-inch plywood, not particleboard. Particleboard that has met water once — a slow dishwasher leak, a sink trap drip — swells and never recovers. Plywood survives it.
• Doors and drawer fronts. Shaker, flat-slab, raised panel, or inset. Paint-grade maple or poplar, stain-grade alder, hickory, oak, or walnut. Knotty alder is the regional favorite for a reason: it takes a warm stain and hides the dings of a real household.
• Hardware. Soft-close hinges and full-extension undermount drawer slides as standard. Not an upgrade.
• Finish. Sprayed in the shop, not brushed on site. Conversion varnish over stain, or a catalyzed enamel over paint. It is the difference between a finish that holds up to fifteen years of hands and one that chips at the pulls in two.
• Layout. Drawers where you reach down, doors where you reach up. Pull-outs for trash and spices. A pantry that uses the full height of the wall. This is the part that makes a kitchen work, and it is the part a catalog cannot do.

Typical installed pricing runs $350–$900 per linear ft installed depending on wood species, door style, and how much of the run is drawers. Full details on custom cabinets →

Why hiring one shop for cabinets and countertops matters in Edgewood

Most remodels in Edgewood involve two companies who have never met: one sets cabinets, another fabricates stone. When the countertop does not sit flat, each explains why it is the other’s fault, and you are left holding a gap, a tube of caulk, and two phone numbers.

We run both sides under one roof. Cabinets are set and leveled by our crew, then the countertop is templated against those cabinets, cut in the same building, and installed by the same people. If something is off, it is ours, and there is nobody to point at. That is not a slogan. It is the reason the business is structured this way, and it is the reason the seams line up.

It also has a practical scheduling benefit. One contractor means one calendar, so cabinets and tops land in sequence instead of leaving your kitchen torn out for a week while a second company finds an opening.

How a project runs with us

1. Call or send the form. Jesus answers, asks what you are trying to do, and books a time to come measure. Edgewood is home: the shop is on Old Hwy 66 and most jobs are minutes away.
2. On-site measurement and a straight conversation. We look at the room, the plumbing, the walls, and how you cook. If a material is wrong for your situation, this is where we say so.
3. One written number. Template, fabrication, tear-out, install, haul-away, sealing. No per-item surprises after the fact.
4. Slab or sample approval. For natural stone you see the actual slab and where the cuts land. For cabinets you approve a door sample and a finish chip.
5. Fabrication in Edgewood. Cabinets built and finished in the shop. Countertops laser-templated once the cabinets are set and level, then cut on the CNC and polished.
6. Install by the same crew. The people who measured are the people who build and the people who install. One point of contact from first visit to final walkthrough.

Countertop-only projects typically run one to two weeks from template to install. Full cabinet packages run four to eight weeks depending on wood and finish. A complete kitchen remodel is usually six to ten weeks once materials are approved.
