Custom cabinets, with the prices on the website
Palmdale Custom Cabinets is a custom cabinet design and installation service for kitchens, vanities and built-ins serving Palmdale and the Antelope Valley. The cabinets are designed to your walls and built for desert air. The pricing sits on a public page instead of behind a sales visit.
Custom cabinet installation in Palmdale costs $500 to $1,200 per installed linear foot, which puts a typical full custom kitchen between $10,000 and $26,500. The spread comes from three choices: the wood and finish on the doors, the interior fittings behind them and whether an island anchors the room. Refacing is the honest alternative when the existing boxes are sound, delivering a new kitchen face for $4,500 to $12,000. The process runs six to ten weeks of shop build after drawings are approved, then three to five days of installation. California requires a C-6 finish carpentry license for any cabinet job of $500 or more, so whoever you hire, verify the license at the state board before signing. Every number above comes from our published cost guide, and the quote you receive reconciles against it line by line.

Three questions, priced straight from the published cost guide. No email wall, and the range updates as you answer.
The island usually decides which half of the range you land in. A working island with drawers, seating overhang and panel ends can carry a third of the whole job.
From the kitchen outward
Kitchens are the center of the work. Some start as gut remodels with an island and a pantry wall; many more start as thirty-year-old tract kitchens whose layout still works under tired builder oak. The custom kitchens page covers the first kind, and the refacing page covers the second, where keeping sound boxes saves roughly half the money. We recommend the cheaper path whenever the boxes deserve it, which is how a cabinet shop earns a second phone call.
The same shop work carries through the rest of the house. Bath vanities, closet systems, garage walls and media built-ins all come off the same drawings and finish schedule, priced on the built-ins page. For offices, clinics and shops around the valley there is commercial casework, built to drawings with the durable finishes that tenant improvements demand.

Built for the whole valley
We work from Palmdale across the Antelope Valley, from the Lancaster tract grid to the custom homes of the foothill towns. Each area page talks about its own housing and what the cabinet work there actually looks like, because a 1990s oak kitchen on Avenue J and a ranch kitchen in Acton are different projects.
Asked before every project
How much do custom cabinets cost in Palmdale?
A full custom kitchen typically runs $10,000 to $26,500 installed, which works out to $500 to $1,200 per linear foot depending on wood and interior fittings. Refacing a sound kitchen costs about half that. Our cost guide publishes the whole table so you can see the numbers before you ever call.
How long does a custom kitchen take from design to done?
Plan on six to ten weeks of shop build time after the drawings are approved, then three to five days of installation. Your old kitchen keeps working until install week, because the cabinets arrive built rather than being constructed in your house.
Who actually does the installation?
Licensed California crews working under the C-6 cabinet and finish carpentry classification, which state law requires for cabinet jobs of $500 or more. You can verify any California license number free at the Contractors State License Board site, and we think every homeowner should.
