Custom Cabinetry

Koala Construction builds custom cabinetry for homeowners, builders, and designers across Greater Austin and the Hill Country. Whether you need a run of uppers and lowers, a tall pantry cabinet, laundry room storage, or a one-off piece built to exact dimensions, we measure in the field, build in our shop, and install with the same crew that templated the job. That continuity is what keeps reveals tight and doors aligned when walls are not perfectly plumb.

Custom cabinets are not a catalog order with filler strips forced into gaps. We work from your layout, your finish schedule, and how you actually use the room. Drawer depths, pull-out trays, integrated bins, appliance panels, and open shelving are all scoped during planning so the boxes arrive ready for hardware and touch-up — not a second round of field modifications.

Where custom cabinetry fits

Standalone cabinet work often supports a larger remodel. A kitchen may need a new bank of cabinets before counters and backsplash go in. A mudroom may need lockers while built-in storage and trim details are still being finalized. We coordinate with your GC or designer so our install window matches the rest of the trade sequence.

Many clients come to us when a stock cabinet line cannot handle an odd wall angle, a soffit, or a ceiling that steps down. We build to the opening, not the other way around. Paint-grade, stain-grade, and mixed-material fronts — slab, shaker, or flat panel — are quoted based on the architectural intent of the home, not a single default door style.

Process and expectations

Every project starts with a site visit or detailed plans, a written scope, and a timeline that accounts for build weeks plus install days. We do not sub out the critical path: the person who measures is accountable for how the piece lands on site. Lead times vary with shop load and finish complexity; we will give you a realistic window before you commit.

If your project grows into a full room, our kitchen install and bathroom vanity teams handle the surrounding casework, fillers, and finish carpentry so the room reads as one installation — not a cabinet box dropped into a half-finished space.
