Cabinet Builders Austin

If you’re searching for cabinet builders in Austin who combine artisan craftsmanship with modern precision, Michael Edwards Custom Cabinetry & Closets is your local partner. Our team designs, mills, finishes, and installs custom cabinetry for homes across the Austin area—from Westlake and Tarrytown to Circle C, Lakeway, Round Rock, and beyond. Every project is overseen with a perfectionist’s eye to ensure a seamless fit, durable construction, and a finish that elevates your space for decades.

Why Homeowners in Austin Choose Us

Hand-milled materials. We mill our own wood and components in our San Antonio warehouse, giving us full control over grain selection, thickness tolerances, moisture content, and joinery standards. This upstream control means tighter seams, sturdier boxes, and finishes that age beautifully in Central Texas humidity.

Owner-level oversight. Founder Mike Swientek sets the quality bar on each job. From layout reviews to final punch, his focus on detail—reveals, alignments, hardware feel, and sheen consistency—drives the difference you see (and feel) in the finished product.

Truly custom. Our cabinetry is built to your space—not wedged into it. Radius corners, asymmetric walls, appliance panels, secret drawers, LED channels, inset or overlay, painted, stained, rift white oak, walnut, or specialty veneers—if you can imagine it, we can build it.

Made for Texas living. Austin homes range from Mid-Century remodels to new Hill Country modern builds. We match architectural style and lifestyle—kid-friendly mudrooms, chef-forward kitchens, serene spa baths, work-from-home offices, and media walls that hide cables and clutter.

Our Process (Built for Clarity)

1. Design Discovery
   We meet in your home or via video to capture needs, measurements, and style direction. Bring inspiration photos—we’ll translate them into a cohesive plan that fits your budget and timeline.

2. Material & Finish Selection
   We present wood species, door profiles, and finish samples. Because we mill and finish in-house, we can create custom tones to match flooring, stone veining, or existing millwork.

3. Detailed Drawings
   You’ll receive scaled plans and elevations with callouts for inserts, lighting, appliance panels, and clearances. This prevents surprises during install.

4. Precision Fabrication
   Components are crafted in our San Antonio facility to exact specs. Quality checks happen at every stage—from joinery to finish cure times.

5. White-Glove Installation
   Our installers are artisans, not a third-party crew. We protect your home, keep a tidy jobsite, and coordinate with your GC, designer, or trades for a smooth handoff.

Design Notes for Austin Homes

• Hill Country Modern: Rift-cut white oak, flat panels, integrated pulls, and matte finishes pair beautifully with limestone and steel.

• Classic Central Austin: Inset shaker doors, tapered legs, and furniture-style toe kicks maintain historic charm while adding modern function.

• Compact Bungalows & ADUs: Vertical storage, pocket doors, and multi-use built-ins keep small spaces uncluttered without feeling sparse.

• Outdoor Entertaining: Weather-tough cabinetry for covered patios and pool houses, planned for drainage, shade, and appliance ventilation.

Quality You Can See (and Feel)

• Joinery: Dovetail drawers, mortise-and-tenon frames (when specified), and engineered substrates where stability matters

• Hardware: Soft-close hinges and slides rated for daily use; integrated lighting with concealed channels and switch placement considered up front

• Finishes: Multi-stage prep and spray finishing for a consistent, durable surface that’s easy to touch up years later

Budget & Timeline Expectations

Custom cabinetry is an investment; scope, materials, and complexity drive cost and schedule. We provide transparent proposals and realistic timelines up front. If you’re phasing a remodel—kitchen first, closets later—we’ll plan finish continuity so phase two matches phase one perfectly.

FAQs

Do you work with designers and builders?
Yes. We frequently collaborate with Austin architects, designers, and GCs to coordinate elevations, appliance specs, and schedules.

Can you match existing cabinetry?
Often, yes. Because we mill and finish in-house, we can replicate profiles and develop a custom stain or paint match.

What about warranty and service?
We stand behind our craftsmanship. If adjustments are needed after seasonal settling, we’re here to fine-tune.
