Kitchen Remodeling and Custom Cabinets in Wildomar
Built in our shop, fitted to your kitchen
If you are planning a kitchen remodel in Wildomar, the cabinets are the biggest decision you will make. We design custom cabinets to your exact walls, build them from cabinet-grade plywood in our Murrieta shop, and install them with our own crew.
Why store cabinets give out early
You open the sink cabinet and the bottom has gone soft and puffy. Or a door hangs crooked no matter how often you tighten the hinge. That is usually particle board, which soaks up water at every cut edge and slowly loses its grip on screws.
We build every cabinet box from cabinet-grade plywood with solid hardwood face frames. Drawers are dovetailed and face frames are joined with mortise and tenon joints, which lock the frame together so it stays square. Slides and hinges are Blum soft close hardware, backed by Blum's lifetime warranty.
The finish is a catalyzed conversion varnish. It cures into a hard, sealed coat that handles cooking grease and daily wiping far better than house paint.
Custom cabinets built to your walls
If your current kitchen has odd gaps or skinny filler panels, blame the sizing. Stock cabinets come in 3 inch steps, so a 47 inch wall gets a 45 inch box and a filler strip to hide the gap. Across a whole kitchen, those strips add up to storage you paid for and cannot use.
We measure your kitchen and build each cabinet to within a sixteenth of an inch. Before anything gets cut, you see a 3D rendering of the finished room. That is the time to move the island, widen a drawer stack or change a door style, while changes cost nothing. Here is more on how we build custom kitchen cabinets.
A tip if your kitchen opens to the family room:
When people can see the kitchen from the couch, the back and ends of the island are on display. Ask for finished end panels and a finished toe kick instead of bare cabinet backs. Every side you can see from the living room should look like the front.
What kitchen remodeling in Wildomar costs
Most people want a number before they want a design, and that is fair. Custom cabinets run about $500 to $1,200 per linear foot. Complex designs with lots of drawers, glass doors or tall pantry units can pass $1,500 per foot.
Three things move the price: the wood and finish you pick, how many drawers and inserts you want, and how complicated the layout is. Countertops are priced on their own. We also install granite countertops, so the cabinets and tops come from one team on one schedule.

Who builds it and who shows up
A lot of remodel worry comes down to strangers in your house and nobody picking up when something is wrong. Our own employees build your cabinets in our Murrieta shop and install them in your home. We never hand the cabinet work to subcontractors.
The crew is Diego Macias's, and it is the same team on every job. First Class WoodWorks holds California contractor license #1103734, which you can look up with the Contractors State License Board before you call. If you only need new cabinets and not a full remodel, our page for a cabinet maker in Wildomar covers that.
How a project runs
You should know what happens next at every stage, because not knowing is what makes a remodel feel endless. Ours runs in four steps. First, we come to your home, measure the kitchen and talk through how you cook and what you need to store.
Next, we draw the kitchen in 3D and adjust it until you approve it. Then we build the cabinets in our shop. Last, our crew installs them with HEPA dust extraction running and your floors covered. From design approval to installation, most projects take 8 to 12 weeks.
Bathrooms, closets and built-ins
Maybe the bathroom or the closet bothers you as much as the kitchen. The same shop builds custom bathroom vanities and closet built-ins for Wildomar homes, plus entertainment centers and fireplace surrounds. A vanity typically runs $400 to $3,000 for the unit, plus $200 to $1,000 to install.
Built-ins and entertainment centers usually land between $1,200 and $4,000. Large pieces with several sections can pass $11,000. Every one gets the same plywood boxes, Blum hardware and conversion varnish as our kitchens.
