At PineWood Cabinets, we've spent over two decades mastering the art and science of bespoke cabinetry for Marin County's most distinguished properties.

The Art of Custom Cabinetry in Marin County
True custom cabinetry transcends mere functionality to become an integral expression of your home's architecture and your personal aesthetic. Here's what distinguishes authentic custom work from mass-produced alternatives.
Bespoke Design for Unique Spaces
Marin County homes are gloriously diverse—from compact historic cottages where every inch counts to sprawling estates with expansive entertaining spaces. Stock cabinetry forces your unique space into predetermined boxes. Custom cabinetry does the opposite, adapting seamlessly to your home's specific dimensions, architectural quirks, and lifestyle demands.
That angled wall in your Mill Valley contemporary? We design around it elegantly. The challenging ceiling height in your Victorian? We create vertical solutions that draw the eye upward and maximize storage. The awkward corner in your butler's pantry? We transform it into a showcase wine storage display. Custom cabinetry means no compromises—only creative solutions that elevate your space.
Unparalleled Quality & Longevity
Walk into any big-box home improvement store and you'll find cabinets built to a price point—particleboard construction, thin veneers, hardware that loosens within years. These are temporary solutions that depreciate from the moment they're installed. Custom cabinetry represents the polar opposite philosophy.
Our cabinets feature furniture-grade plywood construction, solid hardwood face frames and doors, time-honored joinery techniques like dovetail and mortise-and-tenon, and premium hardware that glides smoothly for decades. We're building cabinetry that will serve your family beautifully today and remain stunning when your grandchildren inherit your home. That's not hyperbole—it's our standard.
Limitless Aesthetic Possibilities
Stock cabinet lines offer perhaps a dozen door styles and twenty finish options. Custom cabinetry offers infinite possibilities. Want to match the wood species and finish of your home's original built-ins? Done. Dreaming of hand-applied glazing that creates depth and character? We make it happen. Envisioning mixed materials—walnut lowers with white oak uppers? Absolutely achievable.
From ultra-modern handleless designs with integrated LED lighting to traditional raised-panel elegance with hand-carved corbels, from cerused oak finishes to hand-rubbed oil finishes that showcase natural grain—if you can envision it, our craftsmen can create it. Your aesthetic vision isn't constrained by a manufacturer's catalog; it's liberated by artisanal capability.
Intelligent Functionality
Beautiful cabinetry that doesn't function brilliantly is simply pretty furniture. Functional cabinetry that isn't beautiful creates constant aesthetic disappointment. Custom cabinetry uniquely delivers both—because we design specifically for how you live, work, cook, entertain, and relax in your Marin County home.
We create specialized storage for your cookware collection, integrate hidden charging stations for devices, design custom drawer dividers that keep utensils perfectly organized, and incorporate accessibility features that age gracefully with you. Every cabinet, every drawer, every shelf is intentionally designed to make your daily routines more effortless and enjoyable.
Custom Cabinetry Throughout Your Marin Home
While kitchens often receive the spotlight, custom cabinetry transforms every room in your home into a showcase of refined functionality and timeless beauty.
Kitchen Cabinetry
The kitchen remains the heart of your home—the space where daily life unfolds, celebrations gather, and memories crystallize. Custom kitchen cabinetry elevates this crucial space from merely functional to magnificently livable.
We design kitchens that accommodate serious cooking with professional-grade storage, facilitate effortless entertaining with cleverly concealed serving pieces, and maintain pristine aesthetics through thoughtful organization systems. From floor-to-ceiling pantries with pull-out shelving to islands with integrated wine refrigeration and hidden waste centers, every element is precisely calibrated to your lifestyle.
- • Custom pantry systems with specialized storage
- • Integrated appliance garages and charging stations
- • Bespoke islands with seating and storage
- • Under-cabinet lighting and display solutions
- • Corner solutions that maximize accessibility
- • Custom range hoods as architectural focal points
Bathroom Vanities & Storage
Bathrooms deserve the same attention to craft and detail as any other room. Custom vanities transform these intimate spaces into personal sanctuaries—combining ample storage with spa-like elegance.
Whether you're creating a luxurious master bath retreat with dual vanities, individual storage towers, and integrated hampers, or maximizing a compact powder room with a floating vanity that creates visual spaciousness, custom cabinetry adapts perfectly to your space and needs.
- • Custom vanities sized precisely for your space
- • Integrated linen storage and medicine cabinets
- • Specialized drawer dividers for cosmetics and accessories
- • Moisture-resistant finishes and construction
- • Floating designs for contemporary aesthetics
- • Traditional furniture-style vanities with legs
Home Offices & Libraries
The shift toward remote work has elevated home offices from afterthought to essential. Custom cabinetry creates productive workspaces that inspire focus while maintaining the refined aesthetic Marin County homeowners expect.
Floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves that showcase your collection while providing concealed storage for office supplies. Custom desks with integrated file drawers and cable management. Display cabinetry with interior lighting for artwork or collectibles. These aren't generic office furniture pieces—they're bespoke installations that feel integral to your home's architecture.

Walk-In Closets & Wardrobes
Your wardrobe deserves a home as beautiful as the clothing it contains. Custom closet systems transform chaotic storage into serene, organized spaces where getting dressed becomes a pleasure rather than a scavenger hunt.
We design closet systems with dedicated spaces for every item—specialized hanging rods at heights optimized for your clothing, pull-out accessory drawers with velvet-lined compartments, shoe shelving that displays your collection like a boutique, jewelry drawers with individual sections, and integrated lighting that makes selection effortless.
- • Custom hanging systems for all garment types
- • Specialized shoe displays and storage
- • Drawer systems with custom dividers
- • Integrated jewelry storage with secure locks
- • LED lighting systems for visibility
- • Full-length mirrors and seating areas
Entertainment Centers & Media Rooms
Modern entertainment requires sophisticated storage for components, media, and accessories—but technology shouldn't dominate your living spaces. Custom entertainment cabinetry conceals the complexity while celebrating the experience.
We create elegant solutions that integrate screens seamlessly into your room's design, provide concealed storage for components with proper ventilation, organize media collections, and hide unsightly cables. When you're not watching, your media room looks like a beautifully appointed living space—not a showroom for electronics.
- • Custom TV surrounds and mantels
- • Concealed component storage with ventilation
- • Integrated sound system cabinetry
- • Media library storage and display
- • Bar cabinetry with wine and spirit storage
- • Hidden cable management systems
Mudrooms & Laundry Rooms
Utility spaces need not sacrifice beauty for function. Custom cabinetry transforms mudrooms and laundry rooms into organized, attractive spaces that handle the practical demands of daily life while maintaining your home's refined aesthetic.
Individual cubbies for each family member with hooks, benches, and shoe storage. Upper cabinets for seasonal items and sports equipment. Laundry rooms with folding counters, hanging rods, and concealed storage for cleaning supplies. These hardworking spaces deserve the same design attention as any other room.
- • Individual lockers with personalized storage
- • Built-in benches with cushions
- • Coat hooks and umbrella storage
- • Upper cabinets for seasonal storage
- • Laundry folding stations and hanging rods
- • Pet feeding stations and supply storage
The Craftsmanship Behind Every Cabinet
What you see—beautiful doors, elegant finishes, seamless integration—represents only part of the story. The real difference in custom cabinetry lies in the details you don't see but experience every day.
Premium Construction Materials
We build cabinet boxes from furniture-grade plywood—never particleboard or MDF. Face frames and doors utilize solid hardwoods like maple, oak, walnut, cherry, and hickory selected for grain consistency and structural integrity.
These materials provide dimensional stability, accept finishes beautifully, and withstand decades of use without degradation. They're more expensive than alternatives, but they're the only materials that meet our standards.
Time-Honored Joinery
Drawer boxes feature English dovetail joints—not staples or glue. Face frames utilize mortise-and-tenon joinery for maximum strength. Door frames are assembled with cope-and-stick joinery for seamless panel integration.
These traditional techniques create joints stronger than the wood itself, ensuring your cabinets remain square, solid, and beautiful for generations. It's slower and more expensive than modern shortcuts, but there's no substitute for proper joinery.
Superior Hardware
Every drawer rides on full-extension soft-close undermount slides from premium manufacturers like Blum or Salice. Cabinet doors close gently with European concealed hinges featuring integrated soft-close mechanisms and multi-axis adjustment capability.
This isn't about luxury—it's about longevity. Quality hardware operates smoothly for decades, adjusts easily as houses settle, and provides the refined feel that distinguishes custom cabinetry from budget alternatives.
Finishing Excellence
Our finishing process involves meticulous surface preparation, premium stains and paints, and multiple coats of conversion varnish or catalyzed lacquer that cure to an extraordinarily durable surface resistant to moisture, chemicals, and daily wear.
We can create any finish imaginable—from hand-rubbed oils that showcase natural wood beauty to opaque painted finishes in any color, from wire-brushed textures to high-gloss lacquers. Each finish is selected for both aesthetic impact and long-term durability.
Precision Manufacturing
Modern CNC technology ensures components are cut with precision measured in thousandths of an inch. But technology serves craftsmanship—not replaces it. Skilled artisans oversee every step, making adjustments that only experienced eyes and hands can judge.
This marriage of technology and traditional craft produces cabinetry that fits perfectly, operates flawlessly, and showcases the human artistry behind every piece.
Attention to Detail
We match wood grain across adjacent doors. We align reveals consistently throughout installations. We ensure drawer fronts line up horizontally with precision. These details might seem minor individually, but collectively they create the refined, cohesive aesthetic that defines luxury cabinetry.
It's the difference between cabinetry that looks nice and cabinetry that looks exceptional—and that difference is everything.

Marin County Custom Cabinet Questions Answered
Everything you need to know about investing in custom cabinetry for your Marin County home.
How much do custom cabinets cost in Marin County?
Custom cabinet pricing varies significantly based on the scope of your project, materials selected, complexity of design, and finish quality. For kitchen cabinetry, expect investments ranging from $40,000 to $150,000+ depending on kitchen size and specifications. Bathroom vanities typically range from $3,500 to $15,000 per vanity. Entertainment centers, home offices, and closet systems generally fall between $8,000 and $40,000.
These ranges reflect true custom work with premium materials, superior construction, and heirloom quality. We provide detailed estimates that break down costs transparently, and we'll work within your budget to prioritize the elements that matter most to you. Remember that custom cabinetry is a long-term investment that enhances your property value while you enjoy it daily—not an expense that depreciates.
How long does custom cabinet fabrication and installation take?
Timeline depends on project complexity, but most custom cabinet projects follow this general schedule: Design development and material selection typically requires 3-5 weeks. Fabrication generally takes 8-12 weeks from design approval to delivery. Installation usually spans 1-3 weeks depending on project scope.
For a complete kitchen remodel, you should plan on approximately 4-5 months from initial consultation to project completion. Smaller projects like bathroom vanities or entertainment centers may be completed more quickly. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed throughout the process, so you always know what to expect.
What wood species do you recommend for Marin County homes?
The best wood species depends on your aesthetic preferences, budget, and desired finish. Maple offers a fine, consistent grain ideal for painted finishes and light stains. Oak provides distinctive grain patterns perfect for traditional designs. Cherry develops a rich patina over time, deepening beautifully with age. Walnut delivers sophisticated dark tones and luxurious grain. Hickory showcases dramatic grain variation for rustic or transitional styles.
For coastal Marin locations, we also consider environmental factors like humidity fluctuations. We'll guide you toward species and finishes that perform reliably in your specific microclimate while achieving your desired aesthetic. Many clients also choose mixed materials—perhaps walnut for the island and white oak for perimeter cabinets—to create visual interest.
Can you match existing cabinetry if I'm expanding my space?
Absolutely. One of the primary advantages of custom cabinetry is our ability to match existing work precisely. We'll analyze your current cabinets—documenting wood species, door style, finish formula, and construction details—then replicate them exactly for seamless integration.
This capability is invaluable when adding an island, expanding into adjacent spaces, or creating a butler's pantry. You can enhance your home without the expense of replacing cabinetry that's still functioning well. Even if your existing cabinets are decades old, we can match them—our craftsmen have successfully replicated cabinetry from every era and style.
What makes your custom cabinets better than high-end stock cabinets?
Even premium stock cabinet lines involve compromises. You're selecting from predetermined sizes—which means fillers to span gaps. You're choosing from available door styles—which might not perfectly complement your home's architecture. You're accepting the manufacturer's construction methods and materials—which prioritize production efficiency over ultimate quality.
Custom cabinetry eliminates these compromises. Every dimension is exact. Every design element is intentional. Every construction detail meets our uncompromising standards. You're getting furniture-grade work built specifically for your space—not factory cabinets adapted to approximate your needs. For Marin County homeowners who expect the finest in every aspect of their homes, custom cabinetry is the only choice that delivers without compromise.
Do you provide warranties on your custom cabinets?
Yes, we stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties covering both materials and craftsmanship. Specific warranty terms vary based on materials and finishes selected, but we'll review all details during your consultation. Hardware carries manufacturer warranties, typically lifetime for quality components.
More importantly, we're a local company with deep roots in the Bay Area community. We're not going anywhere, and our reputation depends on long-term client satisfaction. If issues arise—which is rare given our quality standards—we address them promptly and professionally. That commitment extends far beyond any written warranty period.
Can you incorporate sustainable and eco-friendly materials?
Absolutely. Many Marin County homeowners prioritize environmental sustainability, and we support that commitment through thoughtful material selection. We source FSC-certified hardwoods from responsibly managed forests, use formaldehyde-free plywood and substrate materials, specify low-VOC finishes that don't compromise indoor air quality, and partner with local suppliers to reduce transportation impacts.
Additionally, custom cabinetry itself represents a sustainable choice—our cabinets last for generations, not years, which means less waste in landfills and less demand for replacement materials. When you invest in heirloom-quality custom cabinetry, you're making an environmentally responsible decision that your grandchildren will appreciate.
What areas of Marin County do you serve?
We serve all of Marin County and have completed projects in virtually every community—from Sausalito and Tiburon on the waterfront to Mill Valley and Larkspur nestled in the hills, from Ross and Kentfield with their historic estates to Corte Madera and San Rafael's diverse neighborhoods, and from Belvedere's exclusive island enclave to Greenbrae's convenient location. We also frequently work in San Francisco, the Peninsula, and throughout the greater Bay Area. If you're in Northern California and appreciate exceptional custom cabinetry, we'd be honored to discuss your project.
