My Closet Guys provides free consultations, 3D renderings, and quotes, and we guarantee that you will love your cabinets. Don't waste money on an expensive and low quality prefab cabinet system - invest in cabinets that elevate your home and last for many years.

Invest in Cabinets That Last

When you purchase a prefab cabinet system, you're getting stock design, materials and installation. Your cabinets may last for a few years, or they may not - they almost certainly will not last for decades. Dishes, china, cookware, and other valuable items go in your cabinets, so don't run the risk of your cabinets falling out of the wall.

Furthermore, prefab systems are not designed for your specific needs. Depending on your height, food preferences, cooking order of operations, and other factors, your quality of life may significantly improve when you have a custom cabinet system designed for you.

Our cabinets improve the value of your home, save space, and last for many years. We'd love to provide a complimentary design consultation and quote for you.

Cabinets For Every Space in Your Home

While we love building custom kitchen cabinets, we also enjoy transforming garages, bathrooms, home libraries, home offices, mudrooms and other spaces with custom storage solutions.

Bathrooms deserve custom storage as much as any other space in your home. Whether you have a powder room, small bathroom with a standing shower, or a full spa bathroom, appoint the space with a high quality cabinet system that can store toiletries, showcase art, hold towels and bath products, and even keep plants. We can use moisture-resistant wood and seals, and we'll make your bathroom feel more spacious and luxurious.

Mudrooms and garages need custom cabinetry as well. We can help you store tools, shoes. toys, outdoor furniture, and more, and whether you want a rugged alpine look for your mudroom or an industrial metal-reinforced system for your garage, get in touch.

Don't forget about corner landing pages in your home as well. We can build out a custom cabinet system, home library system, or other storage solution so you can maximize that space.

Washington DC Kitchen Cabinet FAQs

How Does a Custom Cabinet Consultation Work in Washington DC?

We begin with a visit to your home so we can see the space, take accurate measurements, and learn what you want your cabinets to accomplish. Homes in Washington vary widely in layout and architecture, so this step matters. We'll talk through your design preferences, show material samples, and gather the information needed to create a detailed 3D rendering. You will review the layout before anything moves to fabrication.

What Makes Your Cabinet Systems Better Than Store-Bought Options?

Prefab cabinets come in set sizes and rely on thin materials and low-grade hardware. They often look fine on day one, but they rarely age well, especially in older properties with uneven walls or heavy daily use. Our cabinets are built from commercial-grade MDF or solid wood by request. We create a precise fit, use dependable hardware, and install everything with techniques that keep your system aligned and secure for decades.

Do You Build Cabinets for Historic Properties?

Yes. Many clients call us because their historic rowhouse or early 20th-century home has uneven floors, tight corners, or unusual dimensions that prefab cabinets cannot accommodate. We take extra care during measurement and fabrication so the finished system blends with the home's character while providing modern function. If you want to match existing trim or molding, we can do that as well.

What Cabinet Styles Are Popular in Washington?

Shaker cabinets are a favorite in Capitol Hill and Brookland because they work well in both traditional and modern settings. Slab doors pair beautifully with contemporary condos in Navy Yard or NoMa. For homes in areas like Cleveland Park or Chevy Chase, raised-panel and transitional designs are often preferred. Whatever your style, we tailor the material, finish, and hardware to suit the architecture of your space.

Can You Help With Cabinets Beyond the Kitchen?

Absolutely. Bathrooms, mudrooms, garages, home offices, and libraries are all ideal candidates for custom work. Many homeowners come to us when they want to turn an underused corner into functional storage or convert a small alcove into a built-in desk or display wall. If there is a space that feels cluttered or unfinished, we can create a solution that feels intentional.

What Materials Do You Recommend for Long-Lasting Cabinets?

We typically build with high-quality commercial MDF because it resists warping, holds paint beautifully, and offers a consistent finish that lasts for many years. For humid areas like bathrooms, it performs far better than plywood or particleboard. If you prefer solid hardwoods, we can use maple, walnut, oak, or another species. We will talk through the pros and cons of each option during your consultation.

How Long Does a Cabinet Project Usually Take?

Most projects move from consultation to installation within several weeks. After your 3D design is approved, we handle fabrication in our shop so there are no delays from subcontractors. Installation is often completed in a single day, depending on the complexity of the design. We provide clear timelines and stay in contact throughout the project.

Are Your Cabinets Suitable for Small Kitchens?

Yes. Many kitchens in the city are compact, and custom cabinets can add far more usable storage than standard units. We can design around tight corners, odd ceiling heights, and appliance placement so the layout functions better. Shelving heights, drawer configuration, and specialized storage features are all adjusted to your daily routine.

Do You Offer Financing for Custom Cabinet Projects?

We do. Budget considerations matter, especially for full kitchen or whole-room cabinet systems. Financing options make it easier to move forward without compromising on quality or longevity. We can review available payment plans during your consultation so you have all the information you need.

What Areas Do You Serve in and Around Washington DC?

We work throughout the District, including Capitol Hill, Shaw, Georgetown, Petworth, Brookland, and surrounding neighborhoods. We also take on projects in nearby Maryland and Northern Virginia communities such as Silver Spring, Bethesda, Arlington, and Alexandria. If you are unsure whether we serve your area, just reach out and we will be happy to confirm availability.
