Kitchen Cabinets for Kensington's Older Homes

Most Kensington kitchens were built in an era when the kitchen was a utilitarian room, not the center of the home. Today, Kensington families live in their kitchens. They cook, do homework, entertain, and gather there. The cabinetry needs to support all of that while respecting the character of a home that may be 60, 80, or 100 years old.

We build kitchen cabinets with door styles that match the era of the house. Shaker doors for Craftsman homes. Raised-panel doors for colonials. Beaded inset frames for traditional interiors. We match crown molding profiles to existing trim, coordinate paint colors with the home's palette, and select hardware that complements the original fixtures. The result is a kitchen that feels like a natural part of the home rather than an out-of-place renovation.

Quality That Matches Your Home's Standards

Construction and Materials

We build with solid hardwood face frames, furniture-grade plywood boxes, and dovetail drawer construction on every project. European soft-close hinges and full-extension drawer slides are standard. We carry maple, cherry, white oak, and walnut, along with painted options in any color. For Kensington's older homes, we frequently match stain colors and paint finishes to existing woodwork throughout the house.

Finishing and Detail Work

All finishing is completed in our Potomac shop under controlled conditions. We match existing paint colors, stain tones, and glaze treatments precisely. For homes with original woodwork, we can replicate molding profiles and panel details so new cabinets integrate seamlessly with the home's existing character. We bring samples to your home to compare against existing finishes before making final decisions.

How We Work With Kensington Homeowners

Every project begins with a free in-home consultation. We visit your Kensington home, measure the space, photograph existing conditions and trim details, and discuss your goals. You receive photorealistic 3D renderings showing your new cabinets in your actual room. We revise the design until you are completely satisfied before we begin building.

Our own crew handles every installation. We take particular care in older homes, shimming and adjusting for walls and floors that may not be perfectly level or plumb. We protect your floors, minimize dust, and clean up each day. A detailed walkthrough at completion ensures everything is perfect. Every cabinet carries a lifetime warranty on craftsmanship and materials.
