A lot of kitchens around here were built decades ago for a different family, with a different stove and a different idea of storage. Universal City Custom Cabinets builds kitchen cabinetry to fit your actual room, not a catalog size that leaves a gap by the fridge.
Full replacement means new boxes, doors, drawers, and hardware, built off-site and installed to your walls. Good for kitchens where the layout itself needs to change, not just the finish.

Custom Kitchen Cabinets FAQs
How much do custom kitchen cabinets cost per linear foot in Texas?
Most custom kitchen cabinet projects in this area run by linear foot, factoring in wood species, finish, and hardware. Ballpark ranges run from budget-grade boxes up to higher-end hardwood builds. A measurement visit gives you a real number.
What's the difference between custom, semi-custom, and stock cabinets?
Stock cabinets come in fixed sizes off a shelf. Semi-custom lets you pick finishes within set dimensions. Custom means every box is built to your exact kitchen, corner by corner, which matters most in older homes with non-standard layouts.
What wood holds up best in San Antonio area humidity?
Maple and hickory both perform well here when paired with a sealed finish. Solid wood with proper sealant resists the swelling and peeling that cheaper particleboard boxes can suffer over time.
How long does a custom kitchen cabinet install take?
Design and build typically run a few weeks before install day. Install itself is usually a day or two once cabinets arrive on-site.
Is it cheaper to buy cabinets from a big box store or have them built custom?
Big-box stock cabinets often look cheaper upfront, but they're built to standard sizes that may not fit an older kitchen without costly filler pieces. Custom pricing reflects a build that fits the first time.
