Enrique did our kitchen remodel, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From start to finish, Enrique and his team were professional, communicative, and dedicated to quality. They transformed our outdated kitchen into a modern, functional space that we love. The custom cabinets are beautiful!

Custom kitchen cabinets in NJ typically cost $15,000-$60,000+ depending on kitchen size, cabinet line, door style, finish, inserts, trim, and installation scope. Stock cabinets may run $5,000-$12,000, semi-custom $12,000-$25,000, and fully custom $25,000-$60,000+. We price the cabinet plan during an in-home estimate so the quote includes layout, installation, trim, hardware, and coordination with countertops.
We partner with premium cabinet manufacturers including Fabuwood, Dura Supreme, Candlelight, Brighton, and Modern Cabinetry. Each offers different style options, construction quality, and price points to match your vision and budget.
Stock cabinets come in fixed sizes with limited finishes. Semi-custom cabinets offer more size options, finishes, and organizational features. Fully custom cabinets are built to your exact specifications with unlimited design possibilities, premium materials, and custom features.
Custom cabinet installation typically takes 2-4 weeks after cabinets arrive. Lead time for cabinet manufacturing is 4-8 weeks for semi-custom and 8-12+ weeks for fully custom. Total project timeline from design to completion is usually 12-20 weeks.
Popular cabinet styles in New Jersey include Shaker (timeless, versatile), slab/flat-panel (modern, minimalist), raised panel (traditional), and transitional designs that blend classic and contemporary elements. White, gray, and natural wood tones are trending.
Yes, cabinet refacing is a cost-effective option when your cabinet boxes are solid but the doors and finishes need updating. Refacing costs 30-50% less than full replacement and can be completed in 3-5 days. We'll assess your cabinets during consultation.

Custom cabinet buyer intent
Cabinet brands and door styles matter, but the real value starts with measuring the kitchen, confirming appliance locations, and deciding where storage, prep space, trash, pantry, and seating should land.
A cabinet maker should explain where stock sizes work, where semi-custom sizing prevents filler-heavy layouts, and where true custom cabinetry is worth the extra budget.
Cabinets fail when the design and installation are disconnected. Custom Kitchens by Lopez handles the cabinet plan and the installation path for New Jersey kitchens instead of leaving the homeowner between vendors.
Upper cabinet height, crown, island overhang, under-cabinet lighting, backsplash, and countertop seams all affect the final kitchen. They should be reviewed before cabinets are ordered.
A cabinet-only project is usually priced differently than a full kitchen remodel. For planning, homeowners should separate cabinet boxes and doors, organizational inserts, trim and crown, hardware, demo, installation labor, countertop coordination, and any electrical or plumbing changes. That keeps a custom cabinet estimate clear and avoids comparing a showroom product quote against a full installation scope.
Stock cabinet install
$5K-$12K+
Best when standard sizes fit, finish choices are simple, and the layout does not need major customization.
Semi-custom cabinets
$12K-$25K+
The usual value range for upgraded sizes, better finishes, storage inserts, crown, panels, and a cleaner fit.
Fully custom cabinets
$25K-$60K+
Built around exact measurements, specialty storage, inset details, premium finishes, and high-end trim work.
