Key signs to look for : When builders aren’t honest about their products, you may hear terms like "semi-custom" or "custom-like," but what they’re really offering is mass-produced cabinetry with limited options. One major red flag? Cabinets built in 3” increments. This is a dead giveaway that you’re looking at box-built cabinets. These pre-set sizes are a telltale sign of mass production, not true customization. True custom cabinets should be made to fit your space—whether that means building to a specific width, height, or depth to match your kitchen design without wasting space. And that’s just the beginning. Here’s Your Checklist to Spot Real Custom Cabinetry We’ve included all the must-ask questions in our Custom Cabinet Checklist to help you avoid the disappointment of ending up with box-built cabinets. By asking the right questions, you can confidently choose a builder who delivers quality craftsmanship, premium materials, and fully customizable options.
