San Ramon Custom Cabinets: Kitchen Cabinets, Built-Ins & Cabinet Maker
At San Ramon Custom Cabinets, we build custom cabinets and commercial cabinetry for offices, retail stores, restaurants, and tenant improvement projects in San Ramon, CA. For customers who want a natural wood appearance, maple and white oak are two options we commonly recommend.
We don’t always think replacing everything is the best answer. Sometimes a repair, refacing, or refinishing project can make more sense. If your cabinets are still in good shape, we can look at whether refacing or refinishing is a better option.

Office Casework
We build custom office casework for businesses that need storage, organization, and a professional look. Our work includes file drawer systems, built-in shelving, reception desks, and wall units, all designed around the layout of each office.
We build every piece using furniture-grade plywood with Blum soft-close hinges and Hafele locking file drawers. For finishes, we offer rift-cut white oak, dark walnut veneer, and painted surfaces in different tones to match the existing interior.
Retail Display Cabinets
We design and build retail display cabinets for showrooms, boutiques, and other commercial spaces. Each cabinet is sized and set up based on what needs to be displayed and how customers move through the space.
Options include tempered glass panel inserts, integrated LED lighting, and scratch-resistant high-pressure laminate surfaces. We also match the finishes with the existing store interior so the display cabinets fit naturally into the space instead of looking like they were added later.

We install restaurant cabinetry for food service businesses in San Ramon. Our work includes back-of-house storage, server stations, host stands, and front-of-house display cabinets, all handled as one coordinated project.
For these spaces, we use ThermoFoil and high-pressure laminate surfaces with moisture-resistant cores and chemical-resistant finishes. These materials are made to handle regular cleaning, grease, and food contact without peeling or staining.

Our Cabinet Design Process
We design and build cabinets that fit the exact needs of each space. Our team focuses on practical layouts, durable materials, and styles that match the look of the home.
1 Initial Consultation
We begin by meeting with you to understand your goals and expectations. During this step, we ask about the size of your space, the type of storage you need, and the style you prefer. We do this to helps us gather the details we need before moving forward.
Our goal is to leave this meeting with a clear understanding of your vision. By addressing questions early, we reduce the chance of design changes later.
2 3D Design and Planning
Once we have your input, we create a 3D design that shows how your cabinets will look in your home. Through this, you can see the layout, proportions, and style before any work begins.
We adjust the design based on your feedback. For example, we may change cabinet heights, add drawers, or adjust spacing to improve function. These updates give you control over the final look and feel.
To keep the process organized, we provide a design plan that outlines:
Cabinet dimensions
Placement of drawers and shelves
Hardware options
Estimated timeline
3 Material Selection

We also discuss finishes such as painted, stained, or natural wood. Hardware options include handles, knobs, and soft-close hinges. These details affect both the style and function of your cabinets.
To make decisions easier, we show samples of materials and finishes. This allows you to see how each option looks in person and compare them side by side. Our role is to guide you toward choices that fit your design and budget.

Popular Materials and Finishes in San Ramon
We focus on using durable materials and precise finishes that match both function and style. Our approach combines strength, sustainability, and customization to give each project a tailored result.
Premium Wood Options
We work with a range of hardwoods that provide long-lasting performance. The most popular choices from our past clients include maple, oak, cherry, and walnut, each offering unique grain patterns and natural tones.
For clients seeking a more refined look, we also offer exotic woods like mahogany or alder. While they may cost more, they deliver a distinctive appearance that stands out in kitchens, bathrooms, and built-ins.
We guide clients through the differences in hardness, grain, and finish compatibility. We do these to make sure the selected wood not only looks right but also performs well in its intended space.
Eco-Friendly Materials
We understand the importance of sustainable building practices.
We also provide formaldehyde-free plywood and low-VOC finishes.
For clients interested in alternatives, we offer bamboo and reclaimed wood. Bamboo grows quickly and provides a strong, lightweight option. While reclaimed wood adds character with its natural imperfections and history.
Custom Stains and Paints
We finish every cabinet with the right stain or paint to match the design. Our stains range from light natural tones that highlight wood grain to deep, rich colors that create a bold look.
For painted finishes, we use durable, professional-grade paints that resist chipping and fading. Options include matte, satin, semi-gloss, and high-gloss finishes.
We also offer custom color matching. This allows us to align cabinets with existing décor, wall colors, or furniture. The result is a cohesive design that feels intentional and well-planned.
Custom Cabinet Pricing in San Ramon
Bay Area labor and material costs are among the highest in the country, so numbers you see for other regions may not apply. The ranges below are typical, not quotes. The only price that counts is a written estimate from the cabinet maker after they have seen the space.
Kitchen Cabinets
Custom kitchen cabinets in the East Bay often run from roughly $1,000 to $2,500 per linear foot installed, depending on materials and construction. A mid-size kitchen with 20 to 30 linear feet of cabinets can therefore reach into the tens of thousands of dollars. Higher-end work, islands and tall pantry units add to the total.
Bathrooms, Built-Ins and Closets
A custom vanity may start at a few thousand dollars and go up with size, stone top and plumbing complexity. Built-ins and closet systems are typically priced by size and complexity, and a wall of shelving with doors and drawers costs more than open shelves.
Refacing and Refinishing
Refacing and refinishing generally cost less than full replacement because the existing boxes stay. The price still depends on the number of doors and drawers, the finish and the condition of the cabinets, so ask for an itemized estimate.
Commercial Cabinetry
Commercial pricing depends on the size of the space, the finish, hardware, and whether the work is part of a larger tenant improvement. Dental and medical casework with special surfaces and many drawers tends to cost more than basic storage.
Custom Cabinets for San Ramon Homes and Businesses
Cabinet planning starts with the building you have. In established San Ramon neighborhoods near the Iron Horse Trail, a project may focus on making an existing kitchen more useful: replacing worn drawer hardware, adding accessible pantry storage or deciding whether sound cabinet boxes are worth keeping.
For homes in Gale Ranch, Windemere and the wider Dougherty Valley, consider how the kitchen connects to the living area. Coordinate island storage, pantry cabinets and built-ins so finishes work together while each room keeps the storage it needs. Confirm appliance sizes, door swings and the items you want to store before approving a layout.
Commercial projects need a different checklist. For offices and tenant improvements around Bishop Ranch and elsewhere in San Ramon, plan reception desks, file storage, break-room cabinets and durable work surfaces around staff routines. Specify equipment clearances, cleaning needs and the responsibilities of other trades before fabrication.
