Cabinets911 designs and installs custom cabinets in Broomfield. This page is about one kind of project in particular: kitchens and baths built so the people living in them can keep using them comfortably as they get older. We also cover office cabinetry for tenants in Interlocken.
Broomfield has a ready-made example of why this matters. Anthem Ranch is the age-restricted 55+ neighborhood within the Anthem master plan on the city's north side, separate from the all-ages Anthem Highlands next to it. Elsewhere, owners in older areas such as Broomfield Heights, the planned community that began in 1955, face a different version of the same choice: remodel for the long haul, or move. Cabinets sit near the center of that decision.
Brief 01 / Broomfield
Mostly, reach. A base cabinet with a door and a fixed shelf asks you to kneel. The top shelf of a wall cabinet asks you to climb. Neither is a problem at 50. Both get harder every decade, and a step stool is the wrong tool for anyone with balance trouble.
So the plan moves storage into the band between hip and shoulder height, and into drawers that bring the contents out to you. Here's what that looks like in cabinet terms:
Standard counters suit a standing cook. Someone who sits to work, or uses a wheelchair, needs a lower section with open knee space below it. Planning that section now, even with a removable base cabinet that can come out later, costs far less than reworking the kitchen in a hurry.
Aisles need room for a walker or a wheelchair to pass and turn. That often means a smaller island, or none. We'd rather draw a smaller island now than tell you in five years that it has to go.
Brief 02 / Broomfield
Anthem Ranch homes were marketed to active adults, but their cabinets still follow production-builder habits: base cabinets with doors and shelves, uppers at the usual height, and an island sized for looks. That's a fair starting point. It isn't an aging-in-place kitchen.
The upside of a newer house is that the boxes are often sound and the plumbing is modern. Targeted changes become practical: drawer bases swapped in for door bases, pull-down units added above, knobs traded for pulls. When the whole room needs reworking, full cabinet replacement is the cleaner route. Check the community association's rules on contractor access and work hours before scheduling.
Bathrooms follow the same logic. A taller vanity spares the back. A wall-hung vanity with clear space underneath lets someone sit at the sink. Our bathroom vanity work can be planned alongside grab-bar blocking, since the wall may be open anyway.
Brief 03 / Broomfield
Interlocken is Broomfield's business park along U.S. 36, with multi-story office buildings a short walk from FlatIron Crossing. Office tenant improvements typically need the same short list: break-room kitchens, copy and supply rooms, reception desks and storage walls. Our commercial and builder services cover that kind of scope.
Commercial jobs run on someone else's calendar. Property managers set loading dock hours, elevator access and after-hours rules, and the general contractor sets the sequence. We plan delivery and install around both, and we specify hard-wearing surfaces for break rooms that an entire floor uses every day.

Coverage / City and County of Broomfield
Broomfield became its own city and county in November 2001. It stretches from Broomfield Heights near 120th Avenue up to Anthem on the north side, with Interlocken and FlatIron Crossing along U.S. 36. For 55+ clients we schedule visits when everyone who'll use the kitchen can be there, because we measure reach and comfortable heights in person.

Usually somewhat, because drawers cost more to build than doors and pull-down units add hardware. How much depends on how many cabinets change and whether the layout moves. We price after the design, once the scope is real. Converting a few key cabinets often delivers most of the benefit.
Often, yes. If the boxes are sound, we can swap door bases for drawer bases, add pull-down units to uppers and change the hardware. Matching a new drawer front to a builder finish can be tricky, so we look at the existing doors before promising a match.
There isn't one number. The right height depends on who cooks, whether they sit or stand, and what they're doing at that spot. We measure the people, not just the room, and sometimes plan two heights in one kitchen: standard for most of the run, lower for a seated prep area.
Yes, as part of a tenant improvement or as a standalone scope. Send the drawings or a floor plan with the cabinet areas marked, along with the building's work rules. You can request a quote with that information, and we'll coordinate with your general contractor or property manager.
