Aurora custom cabinets cover a wide spread of jobs: Cabinets911 designs, supplies and installs them for 1950s brick ranches, newer southeast subdivisions, rental properties and builder projects. The right cabinet for a rental unit and the right one for a kitchen you'll live with for twenty years are different things. We'll tell you which one you're buying.
Aurora started in 1891 as the town of Fletcher and took its current name in 1907. The big growth came later. Hoffman Heights, a planned subdivision of ranch homes built from 1950 to 1953, was annexed in 1954, and the city kept pushing east and south from there. It now reaches into Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas counties. That spread means cabinet decisions vary by address more than in most cities.
Brief 01 / Aurora
A rental kitchen has a different job. It has to survive tenants, clean easily, and be cheap and quick to fix when a door gets yanked off. When a unit turns over and the cabinets are past saving, replacing cabinets between tenants goes faster if the layout stays put.
Our position: in a rental, spend on the box and the sink base, not the door. A plywood sink base outlasts particleboard when the disposal starts leaking, and it will. Pick a door style that will still be easy to source later, so one damaged door can be swapped without redoing the run.
Brief 02 / Aurora
The age of the house sets the starting point, and in Aurora that age can be anything.
Hoffman Heights went up as mostly three-bedroom homes in three models. Kitchens from that era are compact, and many have been redone once already, often with cabinets now worn out themselves. In these houses we look at layout before style. A better sink and range position does more than nicer doors.
Neighborhoods such as Saddle Rock, Tallyn's Reach and Southshore mostly came with builder cabinet packages. The usual complaints: short uppers with dead space above, fillers in odd places, a pantry too shallow to be useful. You don't always need to start over. Taller uppers, a pantry wall or an island rebuilt with drawers can fix most of it.
Heather Gardens, an age-restricted condominium community built from 1973 to 1986, is its own kind of job: association rules, shared walls and owners who want things within easy reach. Drawers over doors and lower shelf heights matter more there than style.

On multi-family and builder projects, consistency is the job. Every unit should get the same boxes, the same reveals and the same hardware placement, and the cabinet schedule has to line up with drywall and countertops.
We work from the builder's plans, confirm field dimensions unit by unit, and flag rough-in conflicts before boxes ship. Small differences between units get absorbed with fillers, not design changes. Our commercial and builder services page covers how that scope is set up.

What we do for Aurora owners, landlords and builders.
Layouts range from compact 1950s kitchens to builder islands in newer subdivisions.
Rental vanities get sealed edges and plywood bases; owner baths get the storage planning.
Garage-entry mudrooms in newer Aurora homes are a natural spot for lockers and a bench.
Between-tenant replacements stick to standard sizes so future repairs stay simple.
Install days are planned around whether the unit is empty, rented or lived in.
Unit-by-unit consistency for apartment, condo and builder projects.
Routing
IfIt's a rental between tenants
ThenPrice a sink base and door replacement first. Full replacement only if the boxes are failing.
IfIt's a 1950s ranch you plan to live in
ThenLayout first. In a kitchen that small, moving one appliance changes everything.
IfIt's a builder-grade kitchen from the last 25 years
ThenKeep what works and upgrade the rest: taller uppers, a pantry, a better island.
IfIt's a multi-unit or builder project
ThenSend plans and unit counts. We confirm field dimensions before anything is built.

Aurora runs from the older grid around the original Fletcher town site in the northwest to new subdivisions near Aurora Reservoir in the southeast, across three counties. Drive time between the two ends is real.
Call transcript / Aurora
Plywood boxes, at least for the sink base, with a simple, common door style and a finish that hides scuffs. Soft-close hinges reduce slamming damage. The point is repairability: when a door or drawer front breaks, you replace one piece, not the run. Skip thermofoil in rentals; it peels near heat and can't be touched up.
If the kitchen was redone once and the boxes are solid, refacing can work. If the boxes are original, worn or water-damaged at the sink, replace them. Most kitchens this size also benefit from a layout change, and refacing locks in the layout you have. Settle the layout question first.
Yes, that's the point of a builder or multi-family scope. One specification covers box construction, door style, finish and hardware placement, and we confirm field dimensions in each unit before production. Our process explains how measuring, approvals and ordering work on multi-unit jobs.
Yes. Common moves are swapping short uppers for taller ones, adding a pantry wall and rebuilding an island with drawers. If the base boxes are sound, keeping them saves money. We check the sink base and drawer slides first, since those tend to wear out soonest. Start with a quote request.
