Custom cabinetry brings unparalleled beauty, function, and personalization to your home — but what exactly happens from the moment you start your project to the final installation? At Ciran Customs, we guide clients through every phase of the process with care, craftsmanship, and transparency. Whether you’re remodeling a kitchen, designing a home office, or adding built-in storage, here’s what you can expect at each stage of the journey.
1. Initial Consultation & Vision Planning
Your custom cabinetry project starts with a one-on-one consultation. This is where we get to know you, your home, and how you live. We’ll ask about your goals for the space — Are you looking for better storage? A more open layout? Aesthetic upgrades? We’ll review your preferences for materials, finishes, styles, and functionality. You’ll have the chance to share inspiration photos or walk us through your ideas.
We also take this time to evaluate your space and understand its architectural context. Every project is tailored not just to your lifestyle but also to your home’s existing style, flow, and design language. Whether you’re dreaming of traditional inset cabinetry, a sleek modern look, or something entirely unique, this step ensures we’re aligned on both vision and direction.
2. Detailed Design & Material Selection
Once the vision is clear, we move into the design and planning phase. This includes precise measurements, layout development, and the creation of 3D renderings or scaled drawings. We consider factors like traffic flow, storage needs, lighting, and appliance integration to ensure every cabinet is as functional as it is beautiful.
You’ll also choose from a curated selection of high-quality hardwoods, veneers, and finishes. We walk you through options for doors, drawer fronts, hardware, shelving, and interior features like spice racks, pull-outs, or built-in dividers. Our team ensures that every detail reflects your taste and serves your needs.
3. Craftsmanship & Fabrication
With final plans and materials approved, your cabinetry goes into production in our workshop. At Ciran Customs, every cabinet is handcrafted by skilled artisans using time-tested techniques. We prioritize precision joinery, durable construction, and finishes that will stand the test of time.
This stage is where craftsmanship truly comes to life. Unlike mass-produced cabinetry, every piece is built to fit your space exactly — no fillers, no shortcuts. We use premium woods and finishes, resulting in cabinetry that feels substantial, smooth, and built for daily use.
4. Delivery & Professional Installation
When your custom cabinets are complete, we schedule delivery and installation at a time that works best for your project timeline. Our installers are experienced professionals who treat your home with the same care we bring to the shop floor.
Installation is completed with precision and attention to detail — ensuring clean lines, seamless alignment, and perfect integration with your space. Whether it’s a full kitchen, bathroom vanities, or a wall of built-ins, your cabinetry will be securely installed and ready to enjoy.
5. Final Walkthrough & Project Completion
After installation, we conduct a final walkthrough to make sure every detail meets our high standards — and yours. We’ll review functionality, alignment, and finish quality, as well as answer any final questions. If anything needs adjustment, we take care of it promptly.
We also provide guidance on cabinet care and maintenance to help you preserve the beauty of your new investment for years to come. Your satisfaction is our highest priority, and we’re proud to stand behind every project we complete.
