Cabinets911 builds Colorado Springs custom cabinets for houses of every age in this corner of Colorado, from Old North End Victorians to east-side homes that still have builder stickers on the windows. Kitchens, bathrooms, basements and built-ins. We measure the room, draw the cabinetry around how you use it, and install it to the plan we drew.
Few cities on the Front Range pack this many building eras into one drive across town. The Old North End's Victorians went up largely between 1890 and 1910, during the Cripple Creek gold boom. Knob Hill and Patty Jewett carry 1940s and '50s ranches. Briargate filled in from the 1980s into the 2000s, and Banning Lewis Ranch is still being built. Each era fails in its own way. Add a steady churn of military orders, and a lot of these kitchens get redone on a deadline.
Brief 01 / Colorado Springs
The age of the house tells us what to check before we draw anything.
Plaster walls here are rarely flat and floors are rarely level. We scribe panels and fillers to the actual wall and shim bases to a true line so the countertop sits level anyway. Painted inset doors suit most of these houses better than a slab front. If an original pantry cabinet survives, decide its fate before drawings, not after demo.
Knob Hill and Patty Jewett have plenty of small 1940s and '50s kitchens. Walls are short, a window lands where you want uppers, and the room was often remodeled once already, badly. Expect old water damage under the sink. Every inch of width counts here, so we size boxes to the room and keep fillers thin.
Rockrimmon grew mostly through the 1970s and '80s, and Briargate kept going into the 2000s. These kitchens are bigger and the layouts mostly work. The weak point is the box: particleboard sides, stapled drawers, oak doors with a dated orange finish. When the layout is good and the boxes are sound, keep them. When the sink base is swollen, that answer changes.
Banning Lewis Ranch homes come with a builder cabinet package. The common upgrades after closing are a real pantry, crown to close the gap above short uppers, and an island that actually seats people. We can plan kitchen cabinets that tie into what the builder left, or replace the run outright.
Brief 02 / Colorado Springs
Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Space Force Base and the Air Force Academy keep people arriving and leaving all year. Cabinet projects tied to a move come with a date attached: a report date, a listing date, a tenant moving in.
Selling and renting call for different cabinets. A buyer notices door style and how the kitchen photographs. A tenant notices nothing until a hinge rips out of a particleboard side. For a sale, spend on what shows. For a rental you'll manage from another duty station, spend on plywood sink bases, sturdy slides and a finish you can touch up yourself. As a cabinet contractor, we start cabinet replacement by sorting out which job this is.
Brief 03 / Colorado Springs
The air here is dry, and furnace season makes it drier. Solid wood shrinks across its grain as it gives up moisture. On a painted five-piece door, that shows as a hairline crack where rail meets stile. That's wood movement, not bad paint.
We plan for it. Painted doors get MDF center panels, which barely move. Stained solid panels float in their grooves. Cabinets sit in the heated house before install to adjust to the room. If you run a humidifier hard in winter and shut it off in summer, tell us; big swings matter more than the number. Our cabinet guide covers painted vs stained in more detail.

Scoped to the plan for the house: sell it, rent it or stay.
Level, plumb and scribed, even where the floor and walls are neither.

Routing
IfYou have orders and a move date
ThenDecide sell or rent first. It changes the materials, the scope and where the money goes.
IfYour house predates 1920
ThenStart with a site measure. Walls and floors set the plan more than the catalog does.
IfThe north-side layout works but the boxes are tired
ThenLook at refacing or a partial replacement before a full tear-out.
IfYou just closed on a new east-side build
ThenList what the builder package lacks, then plan add-ons that match it.

Reface when the boxes are solid, the layout works and the sink base is dry. Replace when the sink base is soft or the layout fights you. Refacing puts new doors and veneer on old boxes, so it's only as good as those boxes. We check them on site and tell you which way it goes.
We can tell you after we see the scope. Lead time depends on whether cabinets are built, semi-custom or stock, and what we find behind the old ones. Call us early, give us the date, and we'll say plainly whether it fits or what a smaller scope would look like.
Solid wood shrinks as the air dries out, and heating season in Colorado gets very dry. The rail-to-stile joint opens a hair and breaks the paint film. It's cosmetic. MDF panels reduce it, but any painted solid-wood frame can show it.
Yes. We cover the surrounding area, including Fountain to the south and the Tri-Lakes towns to the north. For Woodmoor, Palmer Lake and Black Forest, see our Monument page, since snow and travel change how those jobs get scheduled.
