Custom Cabinets & Built-In Cabinetry in Rockville, MD
Mudroom lockers, laundry cabinets and built-in storage — measured, built and hung level across Rockville, Bethesda & Silver Spring.
Custom cabinetry is what you build when nothing off the shelf fits the space. NextDayJose builds and installs built-in cabinets across Rockville, Potomac, Bethesda and Silver Spring — mudroom lockers with a bench and hooks, laundry cabinets over the machines, under-stair drawers, garage storage, banquette seating, and cabinet runs sized to an awkward wall. Locally-owned, licensed and insured, 13+ years of finish work in the DMV.
We also hang cabinets you have already bought. Stock and semi-custom boxes go up level, shimmed plumb, screwed through the back rail into framing, scribed to the wall, with filler strips cut so the run ends cleanly. Once they are in we handle the details that make them feel custom: soft-close hinges, new knobs and pulls, and pull-out shelves inside. Doors that swing crooked are a quick separate fix.

Cabinetry in Montgomery County Homes
Two things make DMV cabinet work different from a new-build install. Floors: the original oak in Rockville and Silver Spring colonials has usually settled, and a run of cabinets set on an out-of-level floor telegraphs it straight into the countertop. We shoot a laser line, set the high point first and shim from there. Walls: plaster over lath is rarely flat, so cabinet backs get scribed and filler strips get cut on site rather than ordered off a drawing.
The second is scale. Older homes here have small kitchens, tight mudrooms off the side door, and basements with low headroom and ductwork exactly where you want storage — which is where custom beats stock. A 22-inch cabinet built for the gap beside your basement stairs holds more than a 30-inch box that doesn't fit at all. We measure the real opening, ductwork included, before quoting.
Carpentry FAQs — Rockville, Potomac & Silver Spring
Are custom cabinets cheaper than buying stock?
Usually no — stock boxes cost less per foot. Custom wins when the space is an odd size, when headroom or ductwork rules out standard depths, or when you want a built-in look stock can't fake. For a plain rectangular wall we will tell you honestly to buy stock and have us hang it.
Can you install cabinets I bought from IKEA or a big-box store?
Yes, that is a common job. Labor typically runs $120 to $300 per cabinet depending on the run, and includes leveling, shimming, scribing to the wall and cutting fillers so the ends look finished.
Do you do countertops too?
We install butcher block and laminate tops. Stone and quartz are templated and set by a fabricator — we coordinate with them and handle everything before and after the counter, including the cabinets, trim and reattaching whatever has to come off.
Can you match my existing cabinets?
We can match paint color, door style and profile closely enough that an added run reads as original. An exact match to an aged factory stain is much harder, so for those we usually recommend painting the whole set one color.
