Types of Custom Kitchen Cabinets
Base Cabinets and Drawer Stacks
Base cabinets hold up the countertop and take the hardest daily use. Deep drawer stacks keep pots, pans and lids in plain sight instead of buried behind doors. A sink base with a tip-out tray gives sponges and brushes a home off the counter.
Wall Cabinets and Ceiling-Height Uppers
Uppers built to the ceiling turn dead air into a full extra row of storage. A short glass-front row on top holds display pieces and gives the kitchen a finished, high-end line. Crown molding closes the last gap so the cabinets look built with the house.
Kitchen Island Cabinets
We size the island to your room and plan the walkway clearances first. Add a seating overhang, a prep sink, a microwave drawer or open shelves on the end. Finished end panels and turned legs make it read as furniture, not a box in the middle of the floor.
Pantry Cabinets and Walk-In Pantry Storage
Tall pantry cabinets with roll-out shelves bring the back row to the front. A walk-in pantry gets counters, drawers and shelves sized to what your family buys. An appliance garage hides the mixer, toaster and coffee maker behind a lift-up or pocket door.
Appliance Panels and Refrigerator Surrounds
Panel-ready refrigerators and dishwashers wear a cabinet door, so the appliance blends into the run. A refrigerator surround with a deep cabinet above carries the line to the ceiling. Oven towers stack a wall oven and a speed oven at a height that spares your back.
Range Hood Covers
A wood hood cover makes the range the anchor of the room. Pick a painted box, a stained wood taper or a slim modern shroud to match the doors. We size the cover to the vent insert you choose and hide the duct inside it.
Coffee Bars and Butler's Pantries
A coffee bar moves the machine, mugs and beans out of the main prep zone. A butler's pantry between the kitchen and dining room adds counter space, a beverage fridge, wine storage and glass uppers for serving pieces. Hosts get a staging spot out of the cook's way.
Corner Cabinets and Lazy Susans
The blind corner is the worst real estate in most kitchens. A lazy Susan or a blind-corner pull-out brings the back of that box forward. Corner drawers reach full depth, so nothing hides in the dark.
Cabinet Pull-Outs and Organizers
Inserts turn plain boxes into working storage. Add a trash and recycling pull-out by the sink, a spice pull-out next to the range, tray dividers over the oven and a pull-out for sheet pans and cutting boards. Each one gets sized to the box it lives in.
Custom Kitchen Cabinet Cost in San Ramon
National installed estimates put custom kitchen cabinets at about $500 to $1,200 per linear foot. A 20-foot run lands around $10,000 to $24,000. A 40-foot run lands around $20,000 to $48,000. Semi-custom runs about $150 to $650 per foot and stock about $100 to $300. San Ramon's median home value sits near $1.5 million, so a kitchen here gets judged against the finishes around it.
What Moves the Price
Wood species, door style and finish move the number most. Painted maple Shaker sits at the low end. Inset doors, rift-sawn white oak and walnut push it up. Ceiling-height uppers, glass fronts, pull-outs and panel-ready appliances add linear feet and hardware.
Where You Can Save
Leave the sink, range and refrigerator where they sit so plumbing, gas and electrical stay put. Spend on the island and paint the perimeter. If the boxes are sound, refacing runs about half the cost of new custom cabinets.
Cabinets and Countertops on One Schedule
We set and level the cabinets first. A stone fabricator then templates the tops on the installed boxes. We coordinate that handoff, so you deal with one schedule, not two.
Countertop Cost per Square Foot
Quartz runs $50 to $200 per square foot, granite slabs $40 to $100 and laminate $10 to $40. Edge profiles, sink cutouts and a full-height backsplash add to the total.
The Order of the Job
Cabinets go in and get leveled. The fabricator templates, cuts and sets the tops. Plumbing and appliances hook up last, then we adjust every door and drawer.
Kitchen Cabinet Door Styles
Shaker
Five pieces: a square frame around a flat center panel. It fits farmhouse, transitional and classic kitchens and takes paint or stain.
Slab (Flat Panel)
One flat face with no frame. Clean lines, a modern kitchen and nothing to catch crumbs.
Inset
The door sits flush inside the face frame. Tight, even gaps take precise shop work and give a furniture-grade kitchen.
Raised Panel
The center panel rises above the frame. It suits formal kitchens with heavier trim and crown.
Best Woods for Kitchen Cabinets
Maple: The Painted Kitchen Favorite
Maple has a tight grain and a smooth face, so paint lays down clean. It is the go-to wood for white, gray, navy and sage kitchens. We often pair maple frames with MDF center panels, which resist hairline cracks at the joints.
White Oak: Natural and Modern
Straight grain and a light, warm tone. Rift-sawn white oak gives a calm, modern kitchen under a natural or light stain.
Walnut: The Statement Wood
Deep chocolate brown with no stain needed. Walnut shines as an accent on an island, a hood cover or a coffee bar.

Custom Kitchen Cabinet FAQ for San Ramon Homeowners
San Ramon's remodel handout says replacing or refacing cabinets and countertops needs no building permit. Moving walls or removing more than 2 by 2 feet of wall or ceiling finish needs one. When a permit applies, the city's FY26-27 fee schedule lists $780 for a kitchen remodel.
The job runs through a measure, design approval, the build and the install. Lead time depends on our shop schedule, the size of the kitchen and the finish. We put the timeline in writing with your quote.
Reface when the boxes are solid and the layout works. Refacing runs about $4,483 to $10,592, roughly half the cost of new custom cabinets. Replace when you want a new layout, taller uppers or an island.
Sometimes. Stone tops can come off and go back on when the new base cabinets keep the same footprint and height. Removal can crack a slab, so we check the tops with the fabricator before you count on it.
San Ramon builds to the 2025 California codes, in effect since January 1, 2026. The city's kitchen handout says under-cabinet lights switch separately, fixtures must be high efficacy, and counters need GFCI outlets on at least two 20-amp circuits. We plan outlets and wire paths before the boxes go up.
