A kitchen stops working long before it falls apart. The drawers don't close flush, the layout forces awkward dance-arounds at the stove, and stock cabinet sizes leave dead corners that collect clutter. Maybe you've bought an older Simi Valley home where the original cabinetry was built for a different era, or you're finishing a gut renovation and need cabinetry that actually fits the room's dimensions rather than the other way around. Custom kitchen cabinets are the answer when off-the-shelf boxes can't accommodate your ceiling height, your island dimensions, or the way your household actually uses the space.
The process begins with an on-site measurement session and a design review where layout, door style, wood species, and finish are worked out before a single board is cut. Solid wood face frames and doors are built in the shop, finished by spray application—paint or stain—before arriving on site, so edges and interiors get full coverage rather than a brushed-on afterthought. Soft-close hinges and full-extension drawer slides are included as standard, not upgrades. Once cabinets are installed, any remaining finish work is touched up in place. The project is covered by a written two-year workmanship warranty on all cabinet construction.
Marroquin Painting and Carpentry has built custom kitchen cabinets for homeowners throughout Simi Valley, from tract homes in Wood Ranch to craftsman-style properties in the older neighborhoods near downtown. A well-executed set of custom cabinets changes how a kitchen feels on a daily basis: doors that align cleanly, drawers that open without a lift-and-pull, and storage that fits your actual cookware instead of a national retailer's average household. The free in-home design consultation is where that process starts—no commitment, just measurements and a conversation about what the space needs.

Common Questions
Custom Kitchen Cabinets — questions we get a lot
Custom cabinet projects in Simi Valley typically run $12,000 to $35,000+ depending on linear footage, wood species, door style, and finish. A galley kitchen with painted maple shaker doors and soft-close hardware tends to sit in the low-to-mid range; walnut or inset-door kitchens with specialty storage push higher. We provide a line-item quote after an in-home measure, no surprise charges mid-project.
Yes, when the boxes are structurally sound. Refacing or refinishing keeps the existing cabinet carcasses and replaces only the visible parts: doors, drawer fronts, exposed side veneer, hinges, and pulls. Typical cost runs 30-40% of a full custom replacement. The catch: if boxes are water-damaged, warped, or built from particleboard that's falling apart, refacing is throwing good money after bad and we'll tell you so.
Reface or refinish cabinet boxes that are structurally sound, typically 60-70% less than full replacement. We replace doors and drawer fronts, apply matching veneer to exposed box sides, and install new hinges and pulls. Refinishing option strips and re-stains or paints existing doors in our shop. Most kitchens finish in 5-10 working days with your cabinets usable most of that time. Perfect for solid oak or maple boxes that just look dated.
