Cypress Design & Build designs and installs kitchen cabinets for homes across the Monterey Peninsula — from craftsman cottages in Pacific Grove to newer builds in Seaside and Salinas. Our Sand City showroom spans 3,000 square feet of cabinet displays, finishes, and hardware you can see and touch before committing to a single decision. Whether you need full custom cabinetry, semi-custom configurations, or pre-fabricated options built to fit your space, we handle design, delivery, and installation under one CA-licensed roof.
Kitchen Cabinet Styles We Design and Install
Monterey Peninsula homes range from mid-century ranches in Del Rey Oaks to Victorian-era properties in Pacific Grove, and the right cabinet style depends heavily on the home’s existing architecture. We carry door styles including shaker, raised panel, flat-front slab, and inset designs in dozens of wood species, painted finishes, and laminates. Our designers work with you to match cabinet proportions, door profiles, and hardware to the bones of your kitchen so the finished result looks intentional, not dropped in. Every layout is drawn to scale before a single cabinet is ordered.

Custom and Semi-Custom Cabinet Options
Custom kitchen cabinets are built to the exact dimensions of your space, which matters in older Monterey County homes where walls are rarely plumb and standard box sizes create awkward gaps. Our semi-custom line offers a middle path — factory-built cabinets with configurable depths, heights, and door options — typically at a shorter lead time than full custom. Both options are available through our Sand City showroom, where you can compare door samples, pull out drawer inserts, and review finish options side by side. A licensed designer walks through every appointment with you.

Full-Service Installation by a Licensed Contractor
Cabinet installation in Monterey County requires precise leveling across floors that are often not level — a reality in many coastal homes built before 1980. As a fully licensed and insured general contractor, Cypress Design & Build handles demolition of existing cabinetry, prep work, plumbing and electrical coordination where needed, and final installation. We do not subcontract installation to third parties. Your project is measured, designed, and installed by the same team you meet at the consultation, which eliminates the communication gaps that cause costly mistakes.
Our Showroom in Sand City — See Before You Decide
Our 3,000 square foot showroom on the Monterey Peninsula is one of the largest kitchen and bath design centers in the region, with full cabinet displays you can open, examine, and compare. Rather than choosing a finish from a 3-inch chip, you’ll see full cabinet runs showing how colors and door styles read at scale under real lighting. We host informational sessions for homeowners considering a full kitchen remodel — including our “So You’re Thinking of Remodeling Your Kitchen or Bath” workshop — and welcome walk-ins from Monterey, Seaside, Carmel, Marina, and beyond. Bring your kitchen photos and measurements and our designers will get to work the same day.
How much do custom kitchen cabinets cost in the Monterey area?
Custom kitchen cabinet costs in Monterey County vary based on linear footage, materials, and complexity, but typically run higher than national averages due to local labor rates and the architectural requirements of older coastal homes. Most kitchen cabinet projects we complete include design, materials, and installation — get a precise number with a free in-home estimate rather than relying on online calculators calibrated to national data.
What's the difference between custom and semi-custom kitchen cabinets?
Custom cabinets are built to your exact dimensions and specifications, while semi-custom cabinets are factory-built with configurable sizes and finishes. Custom is the better choice for kitchens with non-standard walls, ceilings, or layouts — common in Monterey Peninsula homes built before 1970. Semi-custom offers faster lead times and lower cost when your kitchen footprint fits standard sizing increments.
Do you offer kitchen cabinet installation or just supply?
Cypress Design & Build provides full-service cabinet installation, not just supply. We handle demolition of existing cabinets, level and prep the space, coordinate with trades as needed, and complete the installation ourselves. We do not sub out installation work.
Can I see cabinet samples before I order?
Yes. Our Sand City showroom has 3,000 square feet of live displays — full cabinet runs, not just door chips. You can open drawers, examine joinery, and compare finishes in context. We recommend bringing kitchen dimensions and any inspiration photos to your first visit so our designers can make specific recommendations during the appointment.
What areas do you serve for kitchen cabinet installation?
We install kitchen cabinets throughout the Monterey Peninsula and surrounding counties, including Monterey, Seaside, Pacific Grove, Carmel, Marina, Salinas, Santa Cruz, and San Benito County. We also serve parts of Southern Santa Clara County. Call us to confirm service availability for your address.
