Custom Kitchen Cabinets

Built for the room that actually exists

A custom kitchen should respond to the room, appliances, architecture, materials, and the way the space will be used.

Bring us architectural drawings, designer elevations, or a clearly defined project direction. We verify the site, develop the shop drawings, engineer the cabinetry, manufacture it in our own facility, finish it, and install it ourselves.

When a detail cannot be built as drawn, we identify the issue early and recommend a practical solution that protects the design intent.

What to Expect

Project Schedule

The schedule depends on the size, materials, engineering requirements, and level of customization. We establish a realistic timeline after reviewing the drawings and scope, and we keep responsibility for engineering, fabrication, finishing, and installation within one team.

Materials

We work with a broad range of veneers, wood species, painted finishes, laminates, panels, and specialty materials.

We explain how each material is likely to perform over time, including changes caused by light, moisture, daily use, and natural variation. The goal is not simply to select an attractive sample, but to select the right material for the project.

Before We Price

Meaningful preliminary pricing requires:

  • Drawings, elevations, or clearly defined inspiration
  • A general project scope
  • Appliance information when available
  • A realistic budget range

Clear information at the beginning produces a more accurate proposal and reduces unnecessary revisions later.

How the Process Works

We begin with a preliminary project review and proposal. Once the scope is accepted, the paid Design & Engineering Engagement begins. After engineering and approval, the project moves into contract, production, finishing, and installation.

Engineer. Build. Install.

At UniMode, engineering, manufacturing, finishing, and installation are coordinated by one team.

Founder Arunas Zabielskas brings European cabinetmaking experience and remains directly involved from shop drawings through final installation. That continuity helps protect the design intent, fit, and quality of the finished work.

Client Experience

“High-quality cabinets and hardware. The process from start to finish was very smooth.”
