Expert custom kitchen cabinets services for Manhattan homes and businesses
Custom kitchen cabinets in Manhattan are the centerpiece of any serious kitchen renovation — built to your exact dimensions, maximizing every inch of storage, and finished to the quality level your home deserves. Lion Construction Management builds fully custom kitchen cabinets — from base and wall cabinets to pantry systems, islands, and specialty storage solutions. We offer dovetail drawer boxes, soft-close hardware, custom paint and stain finishes, and integrated organizational inserts. Every cabinet is measured, built, and installed by our own teams.
Working in Manhattan means tight spaces, vertical logistics, and zero tolerance for disruption. We coordinate freight elevator reservations, manage material staging in buildings with no storage, protect common-area hallways and lobbies, and sequence trades to minimize noise during restricted hours. Our superintendents and project managers understand the protocols of Manhattan high-rises — from lobby protection to post-construction common-area restoration — because we do this every day.
Cabinets built to your exact dimensions with premium plywood construction, dovetail drawers, and soft-close hardware throughout.
Shaker, flat-panel, raised-panel, beaded inset, and slab door styles in paint-grade or stain-grade hardwoods.
Pull-out trash, recycling, spice racks, tray dividers, pot drawers, lazy Susans, and custom inserts that keep your kitchen organized.
Pantry towers, appliance garages, corner solutions, wine storage, display cabinets with glass doors, and open shelving integration.
Factory-sprayed paint, hand-applied stain, lacquer, and specialty finishes like cerused, distressed, or two-tone color schemes.
Curated hardware options from brands like Top Knobs, Emtek, and Rejuvenation — knobs, pulls, and hinges in coordinated finishes.
We review your kitchen design, discuss cabinet style preferences, and take precise measurements of every wall, window, and appliance location.
Detailed shop drawings showing every cabinet, dimension, and feature are produced for your review and approval before fabrication begins.
Cabinets are built, finished, and quality-checked in the shop over 6–10 weeks, with progress photos shared along the way.
Cabinets are delivered, installed, leveled, and adjusted. Hardware is mounted, doors and drawers are aligned, and countertop templating is scheduled.
Custom craftsmanship projects in Manhattan require careful coordination between our mill shop, your building's management, and on-site installation teams. After design approval and detailed measurements, fabrication begins in our shop — typically 3-5 weeks depending on complexity. Meanwhile, we coordinate delivery logistics with your building, scheduling freight elevator time and staging areas. Installation in Manhattan apartments demands precision and cleanliness — our finish carpenters work with drop cloths, HEPA vacuums, and building-approved adhesives and finishes. Expect daily cleanup and common-area protection throughout the installation. Lion Construction Management handles everything from initial measurement through final touch-up, including paint-grade finishing if your millwork is being painted on-site.
Semi-custom cabinets come in standard sizes with some customizable options (finish, hardware). Fully custom cabinets are built from scratch to your exact dimensions, in the wood species, door style, and finish you choose — with no size limitations. For Manhattan kitchens with non-standard dimensions, custom is usually the best investment.
Custom kitchen cabinets in Manhattan typically range from $25,000–$60,000 for a standard kitchen to $60,000–$120,000+ for a large kitchen with specialty features. Pricing depends on cabinet count, wood species, door style, finish, and interior accessories. We provide detailed estimates after design review.
From shop drawing approval to delivery, custom cabinet fabrication typically takes 8–12 weeks. We recommend starting the design and approval process early in your renovation timeline to ensure cabinets arrive when the kitchen is ready for installation.
Yes. We can match wood species, stain color, door profile, and hardware style to coordinate your kitchen cabinets with existing millwork and built-ins throughout your home. Consistency across rooms creates a cohesive, high-end look.
