Custom cabinetry in Pacific Palisades

A large share of Pacific Palisades is being rebuilt from the foundation up. That changes how cabinetry should be planned. When the house is still on paper, the cabinetry can be drawn with it: appliance sizes fixed, plumbing walls located, blocking shown on the framing plans and lighting run to where the shelves and toe kicks actually are. Decisions made at that stage cost nothing to change; the same decisions made after drywall cost time and money.

We work from the architect's set, turn it into shop drawings with elevations and sections, and send those back for review. Once you approve them, fabrication is scheduled against the builder's calendar so cabinets arrive when the house is ready for them, not months early and not in the way.

Our shop is in Malibu, so Palisades jobs are measured and installed by our own crew rather than handed to a subcontractor. The people who drew the room set the boxes, scribe the panels to the walls and adjust every door and drawer before we walk the finished room with you.

We build frameless and face-frame cabinetry in rift and plain-sawn white oak, walnut and maple, with Blum soft-close hardware as standard. Shop drawings typically take 1–2 weeks after the site measure, and fabrication typically takes 6–10 weeks from drawing approval.

Palisades houses run from mid-century ranch houses and Spanish revivals in the flats to modern houses on the bluffs and in the Highlands. We draw to the house: inset face-frame doors and painted finishes where the architecture is traditional, flat rift oak and integrated appliances where it is modern. Coastal air is part of the brief either way, so edges are sealed and sheet goods are chosen to stay flat.
