Custom Cabinets in Meridian, Idaho

Meridian Quality Cabinets provides custom cabinets in Meridian, Idaho. A leftover kitchen from a 2005 production house rarely matches a warehouse size chart. We build the box to the wall.

Reach (208) 759-1616 with the town and the room. We measure before plywood is cut.

Custom Cabinets Options for Meridian Properties

Face-frame boxes for plaster kitchens

Pine and Main still hide plaster kitchens with corners that are not 90 degrees. A 1.5 inch face frame gives us wood to scribe. Mortise-and-tenon or pocket-screw frames, maple or poplar, then a 3/4 inch plywood case behind it. Inset doors sit in that frame. Overlay doors sit on it. Either way the frame hides a wall that is not 90 degrees.

Frameless plywood boxes for new plats

South of I-84 the walls are drywall on 16 inch centers. A 32mm frameless box with a 3/4 inch plywood side and a 1/4 inch back uses the full opening. Edge-banded ends, full-overlay doors, and a tight reveal. This is the European-style case. It is not a particleboard RTA kit from a flat pack.

Inset doors on a full-custom run

Inset means the door sits flush with the face frame. Hinge gaps have to be even. That is slower than overlay. People in Eagle and Hidden Springs ask for it because it reads like furniture. Beaded face frames and knife hinges are options. They add shop time.

Overlay doors with 1.5 inch reveals

Full overlay covers almost all of the frame. Partial overlay leaves a 1 inch or 1.5 inch reveal. Builder houses in Paramount and Bridgetower shipped with overlay. We can keep that look on a better box. Concealed European hinges with six-way adjustment are the usual hardware.

How We Handle Custom Cabinets in Meridian

1. Walk the room with a tape and a laser. Write down ceiling height, appliance models, and which walls are out.
2. Lock box construction, door style, species, and finish on a shop ticket you sign.
3. Build cases, drawers, and doors in the shop. Dovetail or doweled drawers, not stapled vinyl.
4. Dry-fit corners and the sink base on site. Recut fillers before we lag.
5. Hang, scribe end panels, set toe-kicks, then install hardware.
6. You walk the run. Adjacent trades template counters after we leave a level line.

Materials and Methods

Custom work here means a plywood case, not a printed label. We spec 3/4 inch hardwood plywood for sides, a 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch back let into a dado, and a 4 inch toe-kick. Drawers are dovetailed maple with full-extension, soft-close slides. Doors are five-piece rail-and-stile or a slab, in maple, white oak, birch, or paint-grade MDF.

Finish is conversion varnish or a catalyzed lacquer on paint, wiping stain plus conversion on wood. Thermofoil is a different product. We name it if you ask for it. Hardware is Blum-style or equivalent: 110 degree hinges, 21 inch slides, and a 6 inch toe-kick reveal unless the slab forces a scribe.

KCMA and AWI are industry construction notes. They describe joinery and finish tests. They are not a certification of this brand. AWI custom grade is a way to talk about door gaps and finish. Ask the shop that takes the call how they build.

What Custom Cabinets Cost in Meridian

Three things move a Meridian bid. Linear feet of run. Face-frame inset versus frameless overlay. Species and finish. A 10-foot galley in a south Meridian plat is not a 40-foot Eagle kitchen with an island. We quote after a measure. We do not post a menu.

Call (208) 759-1616 when you want that measure.

Custom starts at the tape, not at a 3 inch factory chart. Odd widths, a 10-foot ceiling, an inset door, and a plaster corner are why this page exists. Shop time is weeks after you lock species and finish. Hang days are short after that. Adjacent trades template counters when the run is set. We do not hold a stone shop to our calendar. We leave them a square, level line and a labeled sink base.

Custom Cabinets Questions

How do I get a custom cabinets estimate in Meridian?

Call or text and name the town, the room, and whether walls stay. A photo of the current run is enough to start. We measure before we cut plywood. There is no charge for that visit.

Is custom the same as semi-custom?

No. Semi-custom starts from a factory size chart and trims fillers. Custom starts from the tape on your wall. Odd widths, a 10-foot ceiling, and an inset door are custom work. Stock SKUs stop at 3 inch increments.

How long does a custom run take?

Measure, shop ticket, then hang. Shop time is often several weeks after you lock the spec. Hang days are usually one to three once the boxes exist. Countertops wait until the boxes are set.

Do you post a menu price for custom cabinets?

No. HomeAdvisor publishes a national custom average near $7,420, with a common band of $2,799 to $12,928. Fixr lists custom at $500 to $1,200 per linear foot. Your quote follows a measure.
