Custom Cabinets
Cabinet Maker Near Me in Gatesville
Most homeowners in Gatesville have run into the same wall: the town is small enough that real cabinet shops are rare, so the default move is driving to Temple or Waco and hoping the measurements translate. Gatesville Custom Cabinets exists so that drive isn't necessary. We build and install kitchen cabinets, vanities, closets, and built-ins right here, measured to your actual home instead of a factory spec sheet.
A lot of that work happens in older farmhouse and ranch-style homes around Coryell County, where walls aren't always square and trim is worth matching, not replacing. Gatesville Custom Cabinets builds for those rooms instead of forcing a stock box into place with shims and filler strips.

Why choose us
Why choose Gatesville Custom Cabinets
Built to fit, not shimmed to fit
Older Gatesville kitchens and farmhouses rarely have a square wall. Gatesville Custom Cabinets measures the actual room and builds to that, not a stock box forced into place with filler panels.
You talk to the person building your cabinets
No call center, no sales rep relaying questions to a shop two towns over. You get a straight answer on wood, finish, or timeline from the builder.
Written estimates, not ballpark guesses
Every quote ties to linear footage, material, and finish level so you know what you're paying for before work starts.
Trim and finish matched to older ranch-style homes
A lot of Coryell County homes have original trim worth keeping. We match stain tone and profile instead of replacing everything to make it easier.

How our Custom Cabinets process works
Step 1Initial Consultation
We walk through the Gatesville kitchen or shop space with you and talk budget, timeline, and what's actually bothering you about the current setup.
Step 2Design And Measurement
We take exact measurements, including the uneven walls and settled foundations common in farmhouses around Coryell County.
Step 3Material Selection
You pick a wood species and finish that can take Central Texas humidity swings without cupping or splitting.
Step 4Fabrication
Boxes and doors get built in the shop with square, tight joinery, away from job-site dust and weather.
Step 5Finishing
Stain or paint goes on in a controlled setting so the finish cures even and holds up to daily use.
Step 6Installation
We level and scribe each piece to your home's actual walls, not a theoretical square room.

What Custom Cabinets Cost in Gatesville, TX
Custom builds cost more upfront than semi-custom lines from a Temple or Waco box store. The payoff shows up fast in an older, non-square kitchen, where stock sizing needs shims and filler panels just to hang straight. These are honest ranges, not a fixed quote: Wood species, finish, and how much of the layout changes all move that number. A free estimate gets you a figure tied to your actual kitchen, not these ranges.
| Project type | Typical range | What’s included |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet refacing | $2,500–$7,000, | new doors, drawer fronts, and finish over sound existing boxes. |
| Single-room built-ins | $3,000–$9,000, | a pantry, closet system, or vanity sized to the actual room. |
| Full kitchen cabinet replacement | $12,000–$28,000, | new boxes, doors, hardware, and install. |
| Full kitchen remodel with layout changes | $20,000–$45,000, | cabinetry plus layout adjustments and finish carpentry. |
These are typical local ballparks — final cost depends on scope, materials, and site conditions. A free estimate gives you an accurate, itemized number for your home.

5 out of 5 starsPrice was way more affordable than the other quotes we got for custom bathroom vanities. Still felt premium — clean jobsite, solid finish, and I'd hire them again without thinking twice.

5 out of 5 starsCalled Gatesville Custom Cabinets after a neighbor tip in Gatesville. Super easy to deal with — clear answers, no runaround, and they actually cared about the details on our mudroom cabinetry.

5 out of 5 starsHonestly did not expect such a professional team. They showed up on time, explained every step, and the built-in storage turned out better than I pictured.

Common questions
Custom Cabinets FAQs
How much do custom cabinets cost in Gatesville?
It depends on scope. Refacing an existing kitchen runs lower than a full custom rebuild. Built-ins like a pantry or vanity fall somewhere in between. A free estimate gets you a number tied to your project, not a generic average.
How long does a custom cabinet project take?
A single built-in like a closet or vanity can run two to three weeks from measure to install. A full kitchen usually takes four to six weeks because the shop build takes longer than install day.
Do I need a permit for custom cabinets?
Most cabinet replacement and refacing work doesn't need a permit in Coryell County. If the job moves electrical outlets or plumbing lines, check with the county or City of Gatesville first.
Is DIY custom cabinet work a good idea?
Painting existing boxes or swapping hardware is a reasonable weekend project. Building a square, level cabinet run in an older non-square kitchen is a different animal and usually needs a pro.
When should I call a custom cabinet pro?
Call when boxes are sagging or separating, doors won't close flush, you see water damage near a sink, or your current layout just isn't working anymore.
What affects custom cabinet pricing?
Linear footage, wood species, door style, and finish level drive most of the cost. Plumbing or electrical changes add to the number too.
What's typically included in a custom cabinet project?
A standard project includes design, material selection, box construction, doors and drawers, hardware, and install. Countertops and plumbing work are usually coordinated separately.
How do I prepare my home for a custom cabinet project?
Clear out the cabinets or space being worked on, have rough dimensions ready if you can, and think through how you actually use the space day to day before the measure visit.
