Custom kitchen cabinets for Berkeley, built 30 minutes away
Crafted Cabinetry’s shop is on Port Chicago Highway in Concord, about 30 minutes from Berkeley through the Caldecott Tunnel on Highway 24. Your cabinets are drawn, cut and assembled there, then driven over fully assembled. There’s no freight and no warehouse.
Made for the kitchens Berkeley actually has
Much of Berkeley was built between about 1900 and the 1930s: brown-shingle houses and Craftsman bungalows in North Berkeley, the Elmwood and Claremont, and hillside homes above the campus. Their kitchens tend to share a few things:
- Shingle and Craftsman houses with original woodwork. A framed or inset door with a simple traditional profile, or stained wood that sits beside the trim, suits a house of that age. It’s built new, on plywood boxes, with full-extension dovetail drawers.
- Small, closed kitchens. Rooms laid out before anyone owned a dishwasher, often with a door on every wall. Deep drawers and uppers run to the ceiling recover storage the room doesn’t have to spare.
- Corners and odd widths. Older rooms rarely divide into stock cabinet sizes. Every box is cut to your measurements in 1/16-inch increments, so a run fits without filler strips.
See it before you commit
The shop is about 30 minutes from Berkeley. Book a Show Room Visit to hold door samples, compare finishes and see how the boxes are built before you decide anything.
