Cabinetry built for Clovis homes, not shipped in three inch increments
If you are looking for custom cabinets in Clovis, the first thing worth understanding is what separates built-to-order cabinetry from what a big box supplier sells. Stock cabinetry is manufactured in three inch width increments. When your kitchen wall measures 137 inches, a stock layout gives you 132 inches of cabinet and five inches of filler strip. We build to 137 inches. Across a full kitchen, that difference commonly adds up to an entire base cabinet worth of storage you would otherwise lose.
The second thing worth understanding is that the Central Valley is harder on cabinetry than most of California. Clovis runs summer highs averaging 98 to 100 degrees with extremely low humidity, and the region hit 114 degrees in July 2021. Then fog season brings weeks of damp valley mornings. Wood moves through that cycle every single year. We build for it: solid panels float rather than being glued fixed, every door is sealed on all six faces including the edges nobody sees, and painted work uses MDF panels that will not open a witness line when the seasons turn.

Built to your opening, measured after demolition
Stock cabinetry arrives in three inch increments, so a 137 inch wall becomes 132 inches of cabinet plus filler. We build to the opening, and we field measure to the sixteenth after demolition exposes the actual wall rather than working from a tape pull taken at the consultation. In older Clovis homes near Old Town, where plaster walls are rarely plumb and ceiling heights vary across a single run, that is the difference between cabinetry that fits and cabinetry that gets shimmed.
Plywood carcasses and dovetailed drawers as standard
Three quarter inch plywood boxes with dadoed joinery, dovetailed solid maple drawer boxes, full extension undermount glides rated to 100 pounds, and soft close on every door and drawer. Most bidders list those as upgrades. Under a sink they decide outcomes: in a climate this dry a slow supply leak evaporates off the surface while a particleboard core keeps wicking, so the damage stays invisible until the box bottom gives way. Plywood survives that event.
Written lead times and materials you can verify
You get a lead time in writing before you pay a deposit, and you are told your install week before the build starts rather than after it slips. Every composite wood panel we specify meets the California Air Resources Board Phase 2 formaldehyde standard, which is required by law for composite wood sold in California and enforced federally under TSCA Title VI. Ask and we will put the panel specification on your quote.

What types of cabinet problems do we fix?
Most people call us because something specific has failed or stopped working. These are the issues we are asked to solve most often in Clovis and the surrounding Fresno area, and what each one actually needs.
Water damaged sink bases
The most common structural failure in any kitchen. A slow supply line or drain drip under the sink feeds the cabinet bottom for months before anything is visible, and in a particleboard box the core swells irreversibly. The Central Valley makes this worse rather than better, because extremely low summer humidity evaporates surface moisture quickly while the core keeps absorbing, so the usual warning signs never appear. Once a box bottom has swollen it cannot be dried back into shape and the cabinet has to be replaced.
We check every wet location before quoting any refacing job, because a reface over a failed sink base is a callback
Doors that will not stay aligned
Cabinet hinges are adjustable in six directions, but they wear, and once the cam and screw no longer hold a setting the door drifts back out of alignment within weeks of every adjustment. On kitchens more than fifteen years old this is usually hardware failure rather than door or frame failure, which means it is cheap to fix properly. What does not work is adjusting worn hinges repeatedly, or hanging new doors on old hinges during a reface.
Every reface and refinish we do replaces all hinges and glides rather than reusing them
Peeling and lifting thermofoil
Thermofoil is a vinyl film heat pressed over an MDF substrate, and sustained heat is exactly the condition that separates the two. It fails first next to ranges and dishwashers where heat concentrates, and it fails throughout in garages. Once the film has started lifting there is no coating that will bond reliably over it, so refinishing is not an option and the doors have to be replaced.
We do not specify thermofoil next to heat sources, and never in a Central Valley garage
Vertical space lost to soffits
Almost every Clovis kitchen built through the 1980s has a boxed soffit above the upper cabinets, and it is usually the single largest block of wasted storage in the room. Removing it typically recovers twelve to eighteen inches of vertical space and lets uppers run to the ceiling. The caution is what is inside: soffits in older homes regularly conceal duct runs, the kitchen vent, or wiring, and discovering that after demolition is what turns a clean project into a change order.
We open and inspect soffits during design rather than during demolition
Dead corners and unreachable storage
A blind corner base cabinet swallows whatever goes into it, and the back of any standard door bay is functionally unreachable once it is full. This is not a fault in the cabinets, it is a design limitation of door bays, and it is why converting base cabinets from doors to drawers is the single most effective storage upgrade available in most kitchens. A drawer brings its entire contents to you rather than requiring you to reach past the front row.
Full extension undermount glides bring the whole drawer clear of the cabinet
Sagging shelves and failing drawer boxes
Three quarter inch shelving deflects visibly under a loaded span beyond roughly 32 inches, and once that sag has set it is permanent. Drawer boxes fail differently, usually at the corners where stapled butt joints separate under repeated loading, which is why an old drawer has to be lifted to close. Both are construction specification problems rather than wear problems, and both are solved at the build stage rather than with a repair.
We keep shelf spans under 32 inches or thicken and stiffen them, and dovetail every drawer box
What types of cabinetry services do we offer in Clovis?
There are three broadly different ways to change a kitchen, and they differ by an order of magnitude in cost and disruption. Choosing correctly between them matters far more than choosing a door style, so here is how each one works and when it is the right answer.
Custom cabinet building and installation
Made-to-order boxes, doors, and drawers built to your measured openings rather than to catalog widths. This is the right scope when the existing boxes have structurally failed, when you want a soffit removed and uppers taken to the ceiling, or when the storage itself needs rethinking rather than refreshing. Cabinetry is typically the largest single line in a kitchen budget, and industry cost breakdowns generally place cabinets and their installation at roughly a quarter to a third of a full kitchen remodel.
Most Clovis kitchen cabinetry projects land between $12,000 and $40,000 installed
Cabinet refacing
New doors and drawer fronts built to your existing openings, with matching veneer applied to the face frames and exposed end panels, and every hinge and glide replaced. Refacing changes everything you see while keeping the boxes on your walls, which is the right trade when the structure is sound and only the appearance is dated. It also keeps your kitchen usable, because the doors and veneer are produced off site while you carry on cooking.
Independent cost guides place refacing at roughly 30 to 50% less than comparable replacement, commonly $100 to $250 per linear foot
Cabinet refinishing and repainting
Your existing doors, stripped or sanded, degreased, primed with a bonding primer, and sprayed in a controlled shop environment rather than brushed on site. This is the lowest cost of the three options and the only one that keeps your actual doors, which matters in period homes where the door profiles relate to trim elsewhere in the house. It is also the only one that cannot change your door style.
Modern waterborne cabinet coatings are dry to touch in hours but keep hardening for several weeks
Kitchen remodeling
The full scope, where the layout itself changes: soffit removal, wall openings where structure permits, relocated appliances, and coordination of the electrical, plumbing, drywall, and countertop trades on one schedule. This is the right answer when your complaint is that the room does not work rather than that it looks dated, and it is the wrong answer when a cabinet replacement would have solved the problem.
Remodeling magazine's Cost vs. Value research consistently shows minor midrange kitchen remodels returning close to full cost nationally, with the Pacific region strongest
Bathrooms, closets, and storage
Bathroom vanities built to the alcove rather than to a 30 or 36 inch stock width, closet systems planned from an inventory of what actually has to fit, pantry systems with graduated shelf depths, garage storage specified for Central Valley heat, and laundry runs designed around your real machine dimensions. These are smaller projects than a kitchen and often change daily life more.
Splitting a closet section into two double hang tiers recovers roughly 40% more rod space across the same wall width
Built-ins and countertops
Home office walls, bookcases, media walls, window seats, and under stair storage scribed to walls that are rarely straight, plus quartz, granite, and solid surface countertops templated after the cabinets are set and leveled. Countertops fail most often because they were templated over out of level bases, which is a sequencing problem rather than a material problem.
Unsupported stone overhang beyond roughly 10 to 12 inches requires steel brackets or corbels as a structural requirement
How we work, and what that commits us to
We have not been in business long enough to quote decades of history at you, and we would rather show you the standards we hold than invent numbers. Here is what every project gets.
6
Faces sealed on every door
Every door and drawer front is finished on all six faces including the top and bottom edges nobody sees. Bathroom and laundry cabinets fail from those hidden edges upward, and sealing them is what keeps a panel from swelling and pushing a door out of alignment.
100 lb
Drawer glide rating
Full extension undermount glides rated to 100 pounds on every drawer, with dovetailed solid maple boxes. Not an upgrade line, not reserved for the deep drawers. It is what lets a base drawer hold cast iron rather than plastic containers.
0
Deposits taken without a written lead time
You get your lead time in writing before you pay anything, and you are told your install week before the build starts rather than after it slips. If a date moves, you hear it from us first.

Custom cabinet questions we get asked in Clovis
How much do custom cabinets cost in Clovis?
Most Clovis kitchen cabinetry projects land between $12,000 and $40,000 installed, with layout changes and countertops handled separately. The largest variables are linear footage, door style and finish, whether you choose inset or overlay construction, wood species, and interior fittings such as roll outs and waste pullouts. Any figure given before an in-home measure is a planning range rather than a quote. Your written quote follows a field measure and is fixed.
Should I replace, reface, or refinish my cabinets?
Replace when the boxes have structurally failed, when you want a soffit removed, or when the layout itself is the problem. Reface when the boxes are sound and square but the style is dated, which keeps your kitchen usable and typically costs 30 to 50 percent less than replacement. Refinish when you are happy with the door style and only want to change the color, which is the least expensive option but cannot change your door profile.
We assess this at the free in-home visit by checking every under sink box bottom, testing whether face frames still hold a fastener, and checking the run for square. It takes about twenty minutes and it decides the whole project.
How long does a custom cabinet project take?
Most kitchens run six to ten weeks from approved drawings to installed cabinets. Design and revisions take one to three weeks depending on how quickly decisions are made, the build runs four to seven weeks, and installation is typically three to five days. Refacing is far faster at three to five days on site, and a single bathroom vanity is usually a one day install. You get a written lead time before you pay a deposit.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Most kitchen cabinetry projects fall between $8,000 and $40,000, and a large share of homeowners would rather spread that across monthly payments than pay in full up front. Ask your estimator to walk you through the current options during your free in-home consultation, or see our financing page for details.
What areas do you serve besides Clovis?
We serve Clovis and the surrounding Fresno and Madera County communities, including Fresno, Madera, Sanger, Selma, Reedley, and Kerman, along with the smaller communities in between. The in-home consultation and measure are free throughout that area. If you are outside it, call and ask, since we will tell you honestly whether we can serve you well rather than quoting a job we cannot schedule properly.
Are your materials California compliant?
Yes. All composite wood we specify meets the California Air Resources Board Phase 2 formaldehyde standard, which is a legal requirement for composite wood products sold in California and is enforced federally under TSCA Title VI. If you want the panel specification stated on your quote, ask and we will put it in writing. It is a fair question to ask any bidder, and worth noting if one cannot answer it.
Why does the Central Valley climate matter for cabinets?
Because wood moves, and this region swings further than most. Clovis summers average highs of 98 to 100 degrees with very low humidity, and the area reached 114 degrees in July 2021. Fog season then brings weeks of damp valley mornings. Indoor humidity follows that cycle, and solid wood responds by moving across the grain.
We build for it by floating solid panels rather than gluing them fixed, sealing all six faces of every door including the hidden edges, and using MDF panels on painted work, which will not open a witness line at the panel edge when the seasons turn.
Do you build anything besides kitchen cabinets?
Yes. Bathroom vanities, custom closets and pantry systems, garage cabinets and storage, home office built-ins, media walls, laundry room cabinetry, and countertops. The smaller projects often change daily life more than a kitchen does, and a closet system or a laundry run is usually a one day installation.
