Our Services
First Class WoodWorks builds every cabinet, vanity, and built-in by hand in our Murrieta shop. No subcontractors, no particle board, no flat-packs. From custom kitchens to fireplace surrounds, each project features furniture-grade plywood, dovetail joinery, and Blum soft-close hardware backed by a lifetime warranty.
Custom Kitchen Cabinets
The kitchen is the heart of your home, and big-box cabinets in standard 3-inch increments waste space with filler strips. Our cabinet maker team builds to the 1/16th of an inch, maximizing every square inch of storage.
- ✓ Blum soft-close hardware (lifetime warranty)
- ✓ $500 – $1,200+ per linear foot
Kitchen Remodeling
Full gut remodels that transform outdated kitchens into high-value showpieces. We handle the cabinetry, countertop coordination, and finish carpentry while engineering the work triangle for maximum efficiency in your Murrieta or Temecula home.
- ✓ 3D renderings before any work begins
- ✓ 8–12 week turnaround
Bathroom Vanities & Storage
Custom vanities built to the exact width of your walls, eliminating the gaps where dust and moisture collect. Every vanity is sealed with post-catalyzed conversion varnish for decades of humidity resistance in master suites and guest baths alike.
- ✓ Moisture-resistant conversion varnish finish
- ✓ $400 – $3,000 per vanity unit
Entertainment Centers & Built-Ins
Turn empty niches and bare walls into stunning focal points. We specialize in seamless built-in cabinetry that looks original to your home's architecture — from floating media consoles to full wall libraries with integrated lighting.
- ✓ Concealed wiring & custom TV sizing
- ✓ Starting at $1,200 — large units $11,000+
Fireplace Mantels & Surrounds
A custom mantel anchors any living room. We craft solid wood mantels, shiplap surrounds, and floor-to-ceiling fireplace build-outs — matching your existing trim or creating an entirely new style, from rustic reclaimed to clean shaker lines.
- ✓ Matched to existing cabinetry & trim
- ✓ See our Bear Creek project
Custom Closet Built-Ins
Premium walk-in closet systems built from the same furniture-grade materials as our kitchen cabinets. No particle board, no wire shelving. Dovetail drawer boxes, adjustable shelving, and integrated lighting designed for luxury Murrieta master suites.
- ✓ Furniture-grade plywood & solid hardwoods
- ✓ Zero particle board or wire racks

| Joinery | Staples & cam locks | Dovetail & mortise-and-tenon |
| Finish | Vinyl wrap or spray paint | Post-catalyzed conversion varnish |
| Longevity | 5–10 years | Lifetime (heirloom quality) |
| ROI | Low (generic look) | High (increases home appraisal) |
Cabinet Builder Pro-Tip:
"Cheap cabinets fail in Southern California's climate. Triple-digit Inland Empire summers cause particle board to swell, delaminate, and release formaldehyde. Furniture-grade plywood with a conversion varnish seal is the only material that performs for a lifetime in Murrieta, Temecula, and the surrounding valley."
