Cabinets define your kitchen. They set the style, control the storage, and take up more visual space than any other element. In Queens — where kitchens tend to be compact and every inch matters — the right cabinetry makes the difference between a kitchen that frustrates you daily and one that works effortlessly.

At Queens Kitchen Remodelling, we design and install semi-custom and fully custom kitchen cabinets across every neighborhood in Queens. Our cabinets are built to fit your exact space, your storage needs, and your budget.

Popular Cabinet Features for Queens Kitchens

Queens kitchens have specific challenges — tight spaces, awkward layouts, older construction. These features solve them:

Soft-close hinges and drawer slides — Standard on all our installs. No slamming.
Pull-out pantry shelves — Maximize deep cabinet storage in narrow kitchens
Lazy Susans for corner cabinets — The only good use of dead corner space
Under-cabinet lighting integration — We pre-wire for LED strips during install
Drawer organizers — Custom-fit utensil, spice, and knife drawer inserts
Tall pantry units — Floor-to-ceiling storage for small Queens kitchens
Glass-front uppers — Open up tight spaces visually without open shelving
Crown molding and trim — Finished look that closes the gap to ceiling

Our Cabinet Installation Process

1. Kitchen Measurement & Site Assessment

We measure every wall, note plumbing and electrical locations, check for level and plumb (most older Queens kitchens are neither), and photograph the space. This takes about an hour.

2. Design & Material Selection

We design your cabinet layout to maximize storage and function. You pick door style, wood species, finish color, hardware, and interior configurations. We show you samples — not just pictures.

3. Order & Build

Semi-custom cabinets take 4 – 6 weeks; fully custom takes 8 – 12 weeks. We coordinate the delivery timeline with your overall kitchen remodel schedule.

4. Installation

Our crew installs all cabinets — upper and lower — with precision leveling, shimming, and securing. We handle scribing to out-of-square walls, filler strips, and trim work. Countertop templating happens after cabinet install.

5. Hardware, Trim & Punch List

We install all hardware, add crown molding or trim if specified, and adjust every door and drawer for perfect alignment. Final walkthrough before we call it done.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does cabinet installation take?

For a full kitchen, cabinet installation takes 2 – 3 days. If we are ripping out old cabinets, add a day for demolition and wall prep. The total cabinet phase — including ordering, delivery, and install — is typically 6 – 14 weeks depending on whether you choose stock, semi-custom, or full custom.

Can you replace cabinets without a full kitchen remodel?

Yes. Cabinet replacement is one of the most impactful upgrades you can do. We can replace all your cabinets while keeping your existing countertops, flooring, and plumbing in place. This is a good option if your layout works but the cabinets are worn out.

Do you do cabinet refacing?

We focus on full cabinet replacement and new installations rather than refacing. If your cabinet boxes are structurally solid and you just want new doors and drawer fronts, we can refer you to a refacing specialist.

What cabinet brands do you use?

We work with several quality manufacturers for stock and semi-custom lines, and partner with local woodworking shops for fully custom work. We choose suppliers based on construction quality, warranty, and finish durability — not brand recognition.

Will new cabinets require a permit in NYC?

Cabinet replacement alone typically does not require a DOB permit. However, if we are modifying electrical (under-cabinet lighting, outlet relocation) or plumbing as part of the cabinet project, a permit is required. We advise you on this during the consultation.
