Custom kitchen cabinets for Oakland, built 30 minutes away
Crafted Cabinetry’s shop is on Port Chicago Highway in Concord, about 30 minutes from Oakland 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 Oakland actually has
Oakland runs from Craftsman bungalows in Rockridge, Temescal and Glenview to mid-century homes in Montclair and the hills, and the houses rebuilt after the 1991 hills fire. Their kitchens tend to share a few things:
- Craftsman and period homes. Older houses often suit a framed or inset Shaker door that fits their age. It’s built new, with plywood boxes, full-extension dovetail drawers and soft-close hinges.
- Hills kitchens from the early 1990s. Many homes rebuilt after the 1991 fire still have their original cabinets, now over thirty years old. New cabinets can keep the layout or open it to the view, with an island finished on every side.
- 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.
An Alameda kitchen we built
Across the estuary in Alameda: rift-sawn white oak with the grain run the same way on every front, the fridge faced in the same oak, and a stone island that turns the corner to the floor. Built in our Concord shop.
