Custom cabinets, drawn and built in Citrus Heights

The workshop in Citrus Heights is the whole operation

Everything starts and ends at one address. The shop on Auburn Boulevard in Citrus Heights is where Felix has measured, drawn, milled, finished, and dispatched custom cabinetry since 1985. There is no satellite showroom, no separate fabrication partner, and no out-of-state factory filling the orders. When you hire us, you are hiring the bench, and the bench is forty minutes from most of the kitchens we build.

That single-shop model is the reason our service area looks the way it does. We do not draw a circle on a map and call everything inside it a market. We work where Felix and the install team can drive to a site, take real measurements off your actual walls, and come back to fit the finished work without the job living in a truck for a day. The radius is honest because the radius is physical.

It also changes who is accountable. On most cabinet jobs the drawing, the build, and the install pass through three different companies, and the seams between them are where problems hide. Here the same hands carry the job through all four stages, so there is one person to call and one person who answers. That continuity is worth more on a local project than any showroom.

Do you serve my area?

For the Sacramento metro, the answer is yes, and these are the communities we work in most. Each one is close enough that an in-person measure and a clean install are routine rather than an expedition.

• Citrus Heights. Home. The workshop is here, so this is the shortest drive we make and the easiest place to schedule a same-week measure.
• Sacramento. Our largest single market. From East Sacramento bungalows to newer builds, the city's mix of older homes and odd layouts is exactly what custom cabinetry is for.
• Roseville. A quick run up the road. We do a steady share of kitchens and built-ins for Roseville's newer neighborhoods where homeowners want to replace builder-grade cabinets with the real thing.
• Folsom. Larger floor plans and higher ceilings here often call for full-height millwork and integrated, panel-ready appliances, which is work we like.
• El Dorado Hills. Custom homes on bigger lots tend to want furniture-grade rooms, libraries, vanities, and paneled studies, not just kitchens. Worth the slightly longer drive every time.
• Granite Bay. Established homes due for a second-generation renovation. These projects reward the kind of fit-to-the-room work a single shop does best.
• Carmichael. Mid-century and ranch homes with original kitchens ready for a careful, character-respecting rebuild. Close enough for frequent site visits during the build.
• Fair Oaks. A short hop from the shop. We handle kitchens, baths, and built-ins here with the same schedule we give our home turf.

If your town is not on this list but it neighbors one that is, ask anyway. Auburn, Rocklin, Orangevale, Rancho Cordova, and Elk Grove all sit inside the same comfortable radius, and we work in them regularly.

How far do you travel?

For the Sacramento metro, distance is not a question. Anything inside roughly an hour of Citrus Heights is normal working range, and the price you are quoted is the price for the work, not for the mileage.

Beyond the metro, we travel to the San Francisco Bay Area, but for a specific kind of project. A full custom kitchen, a paneled library, a suite of built-ins, or a whole-home millwork package can justify the drive because the scope is large enough to plan the site visits around. We have built for Bay Area residences and we are glad to again. What we will not do is pretend a single small built-in two hours away makes sense for either of us. When the project is large, the Bay Area is on the table. When it is small and far, we will tell you honestly that a closer shop is the right call.

One workshop. Forty-one years. The same hands on every job, from the first measure to the final walkthrough.

This honesty about radius is deliberate. A shop that claims to serve everywhere usually subcontracts the parts it cannot reach, and the client pays for the seams. We would rather draw the line where the quality holds and stand behind everything inside it.

How a local project actually works

A project near the shop follows a clear, four-stage order, and being local makes every stage tighter. The drawing comes before any wood is cut, because a drawing is where mistakes are cheap to fix.

• On-site measure. We come to your home, see how you actually use the room, and take real measurements off your walls, ceilings, and floors. Being twenty to fifty minutes away means this happens early and in person, not over a phone with a tape measure on your end.
• Design and proposal. Drawings, materials, finishes, and a written price. Nothing is built until this is agreed. Because we are nearby, a second look at the room mid-design is a short drive, not a renegotiation.
• Shop build. Six to ten weeks at the bench in Citrus Heights. We send weekly photos so you can watch your kitchen take shape, and local clients are welcome to stop by the shop and see it in progress.
• Install. One to two weeks on site, fit by the same team that built it, with a punch list cleared before the final walkthrough. An in-house, local install team is what protects the tolerances the build depends on.

From the first meeting to a finished kitchen, a full custom project usually runs about twelve to sixteen weeks once design and the proposal are settled. The closer you are to the shop, the more naturally those weeks flow, because the drives that hold a job together stay short.

Why local and in-house beats a big-box or out-of-area shop

The case for hiring close to home is not sentiment. It is fit, accountability, and the ability to fix things fast.

A big-box or catalog program builds to fixed sizes in a distant factory and fills the gaps with filler panels. It cannot see your room, so it cannot fit your room. An out-of-area custom shop can draw beautifully, but every site visit is a half-day of windshield time, which means fewer of them, which means more of the job is decided on a screen instead of in the space. When something needs adjusting during installation, distance turns a one-hour fix into a rescheduled week.

A local shop with an in-house install crew closes all of those gaps. We measure your actual walls, we build to those exact numbers, and when the install reveals the kind of surprise every old house holds, the same team that built the piece is standing in the room to solve it. There is one company, one drawing, one bench, and one phone number. For a renovation you will live with for decades, that continuity is the quiet difference between cabinets that were installed and cabinetry that fits.

You can see the range of what this single shop produces in our finished work. Our matte-black slab and walnut kitchen, our white kitchen with a veined marble island, and our walnut library paneling were all drawn, built, and installed by the same hands, for homes across this same service area. For the full breakdown of what we build, the services page lays out kitchens, baths, paneled rooms, and built-ins with honest timelines for each, and the Journal covers the how and the why behind the work.
