Custom Cabinets

Custom kitchen cabinets Lakeway TX

Lakeway sits right on Lake Travis. Housing here splits two ways: newer construction in The Hills and Bee Cave wants high-end built-ins and bar cabinetry, while older lake cabins in Point Venture and Briarcliff are often better candidates for refacing than a full rebuild.

Lakeway Custom Cabinets builds to the actual room, not a catalog size. Materials get picked for Central Texas humidity swings. No big-box substitutions, no guessing on fit.

How it works

How our Custom Cabinets process works

  1. Initial Consultation photo
    Step 1

    Initial Consultation

    We talk through your space, your style, and your budget before any drawing starts. Lake Travis homes come in all shapes, so this part matters.

  2. Design And Measurement photo
    Step 2

    Design And Measurement

    Someone shows up and measures the actual room. Then we draft a layout built to that footprint, not a guess.

  3. Material Selection photo
    Step 3

    Material Selection

    You choose wood species, finish, and hardware from real samples. Humidity near the lake narrows some choices, we'll tell you which.

  4. Fabrication photo
    Step 4

    Fabrication

    Boxes and doors get built in our shop. Tight joinery, real lumber, no shortcuts.

  5. Finishing photo
    Step 5

    Finishing

    Stain, paint, or seal, whatever the look calls for. We match it to how the room gets used.

  6. Installation photo
    Step 6

    Installation

    Installers set every piece on-site and check alignment as they go. Nothing gets left crooked.

    5 out of 5 stars

    Honestly did not expect such a professional team. They showed up on time, explained every step, and the wet bar cabinetry turned out better than I pictured.

    Price was way more affordable than the other quotes we got for custom built-in cabinets. Still felt premium — clean jobsite, solid finish, and I'd hire them again without thinking twice.

    Called Lakeway Custom Cabinets after a neighbor tip in Lakeway. Super easy to deal with — clear answers, no runaround, and they actually cared about the details on our built-in wall units.

Common questions

Custom Cabinets FAQs

How much do custom cabinets cost in Lakeway?

Most projects land between $3,000 for a single-room refacing job and $45,000+ for a full custom kitchen, depending on linear footage and wood species. A free estimate gets you a number specific to your space.

How long does a custom cabinet project take?

A single-room project like a pantry or vanity usually runs 2-4 weeks from measure to install. A full kitchen build typically takes 6-10 weeks including design and fabrication time.

Do I need a permit for custom cabinets?

Most cabinet work doesn't require a permit. Layout changes that touch plumbing, electrical, or structural walls usually do. Check with Travis County or your city before any demo work starts.

Is DIY custom cabinet work a good idea?

Stock closet kits and basic garage shelving are fine DIY projects. Anything built to an exact layout, or near plumbing, is worth handing to a pro.

When should I call a custom cabinet pro?

Call when you're planning a remodel, when cabinet boxes are swelling or warping, or when a kit simply won't fit your wall dimensions.

What affects custom cabinet pricing?

Linear footage, wood species, finish type, hardware grade, and whether plumbing or electrical work is involved all move the number.

What's typically included in a custom cabinet project?

Design, build, hardware, and installation are standard. Countertops, plumbing hookups, and electrical work are usually quoted separately.

How do I prepare my home for a custom cabinet project?

Have rough room measurements ready, clear the work area, and think through your storage priorities before the consult.
