Custom Kitchen Cabinets in Newtown Square, PA

In the older stone homes clustered near the township's historic sites, nothing is square and the kitchen is often an addition that doesn't quite line up with the original house. We scribe cabinet ends and toe kicks to the actual wall rather than covering a gap with trim, and we design vertically, since these older kitchens usually have more wall than floor.

In the subdivisions built out through the 1990s and 2000s, the layout is typically open and generous with a big island and plenty of natural light. Often, though, the cabinetry that came with the house is now old enough to be failing, as seen in their delaminating boxes, sagging shelves, and hinges that won't hold adjustment. Luckily, the fix here tends to be a same-footprint swap, not a complete redesign.

Our drawer boxes are crafted from hardwood and dovetailed at the corners for a joint that tightens with use. Face frames are made with mortise-and-tenon joints. Our boxes are made from furniture-grade plywood, not particleboard under a foil wrap. Our Amish cabinetmakers hand-sand, stain or paint, then seal every piece with a catalyzed topcoat that withstands daily use near the sink and stove.

Is this page different from your other Newtown Square page?
Yes. Our Newtown Square page covers all the cabinetry we build here (kitchens, baths, laundry, garage, built-ins). This page focuses specifically on kitchens.

My subdivision kitchen is only 20-something years old. Why are the cabinets already failing?
Most production-builder cabinetry from that era is particleboard under a printed finish, which doesn't hold up to two decades of daily use the way that solid wood does. It's a normal failure point, not a sign anything was done wrong.

Can you work around an original stone farmhouse kitchen without touching the rest of the house?
Yes, and it's common work for us in this township. We build to the existing footprint and bring in a contractor only if something structural needs attention.

Do you need to move plumbing or electrical to replace cabinets in a Newtown Square kitchen?
Usually not, if the layout will remain the same. We coordinate with a plumber or electrician we've worked with for years if anything needs relocating.

How does pricing compare between an older farmhouse kitchen and a newer subdivision kitchen?
The per-linear-foot range is the same either way. Total cost tends to track the size of the kitchen and any layout changes more than the age of the house.
