CUSTOM CABINETRY

At Varia Design Build, our custom cabinetry is crafted with an uncompromising commitment to quality. Every project begins with 3/4" American-made plywood boxes for exceptional structural integrity, paired with hardwood face frames, doors, panels, and trim that bring warmth, character, and long-lasting durability to your home. We use only premium hardware, including Blum soft-close hinges and full-extension drawer glides, ensuring a smooth, quiet, luxury experience that endures daily use. These high-end materials form the foundation of cabinetry built not just to impress on day one, but to perform beautifully for decades.

Our construction methods proudly blend traditional, proven woodworking techniques with modern innovations and precision improvements. Whether working with exotic hardwoods or familiar domestic species, our shop is equipped to handle any aesthetic direction. Every cabinet—inside and out—can be fully customized to your lifestyle, storage needs, and design preferences. Our expertise lies in guiding clients through this creative process, taking initial ideas and refining them into cabinetry that is simultaneously functional, elegant, and tailored to the rhythms of everyday living. Each project is a collaboration that transforms concepts into everyday masterpieces.

Behind every piece of cabinetry is a team driven by family values, craftsmanship, and fairness. Our fully equipped custom cabinet shop has been in operation since 1993, and between two master craftsmen and myself, we bring more than 80 years of combined experience to each build. We believe in honoring the craft by supporting local labor at fair wages, maintaining a shop culture built on trust, pride, and respect. This foundation allows us to control every detail, ensuring the level of quality our clients expect from premium, locally made cabinetry.

Whether you need us to manufacture cabinetry for others to install or you prefer a full-service design, build, and installation experience, Varia Design Build delivers with precision and professionalism. Our hands-on approach and deep expertise ensure your cabinetry integrates seamlessly into your home—both visually and functionally. From concept to completion, we provide craftsmanship you can feel, durability you can trust, and design sophistication that elevates every space.
