Question 1

How long does it take to get custom cabinets from Schrapper's?

Accepted Answer

Most custom kitchen cabinet projects take 8 to 12 weeks from final design approval to installation. Smaller projects like bathroom vanities or closet systems typically run 6 to 8 weeks. The biggest variable is material availability — certain wood species or specialty finishes can add 2 to 3 weeks to lead times. We'll give you a specific timeline during your design consultation based on the scope and materials you choose.

Question 2

What materials do you use for your custom cabinets?

Accepted Answer

We build cabinet boxes from furniture-grade plywood — not particleboard or MDF — with solid hardwood face frames. For door and drawer fronts, we work with a range of North American hardwoods including maple, cherry, white oak, walnut, and alder. We also build with marine-grade plywood for outdoor kitchen cabinetry since standard plywood won't hold up to South Florida's humidity and salt air. Every project gets soft-close hinges and full-extension drawer slides as standard — not upgrades.

Question 3

How much do custom cabinets cost?

Accepted Answer

Custom kitchen cabinetry at Schrapper's typically starts around $30,000 for a modest-sized kitchen. Full kitchen remodels with larger layouts, specialty storage, and premium wood species can range from $50,000 to $100,000 or more. Bathroom vanities start lower, generally in the $8,000 to $15,000 range depending on size and complexity. The main cost factors are linear footage of cabinetry, wood species, door style complexity, finish type, and hardware selections. We provide a detailed written estimate after the design phase so there are no surprises.

Question 4

What is your design-to-installation process?

Accepted Answer

Our process has five steps: (1) We start with a design consultation at our Jupiter showroom or your home to understand your space, how you use it, and what you're hoping to achieve. (2) Our design team creates a draft layout with 3D renderings. (3) We take precise field measurements of your space. (4) You review the finalized design, select materials and hardware, and approve the build plan. (5) Our shop builds your cabinetry and our installation crew fits everything on-site. The whole process is collaborative — you'll see drawings and material samples before we cut a single board.

Question 5

Do you offer financing for custom cabinetry projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer financing options through third-party lenders to help make custom cabinetry more accessible. Terms and qualification details vary, so we recommend discussing financing during your initial consultation. We can also phase larger projects — for example, doing the kitchen first and the bathrooms later — to spread costs across a longer timeline.

Question 6

Can you match existing cabinetry or woodwork in my home?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. Our finishers are experienced at color-matching stains and paints to blend new cabinetry with existing woodwork. We'll bring samples and do test finishes to get the match right before committing. That said, we're upfront about the limits — a 20-year-old cherry stain that has aged and oxidized won't be an exact match on day one, but we can get very close and the tones will converge over time as the new wood patinas.

Question 7

What areas in South Florida do you serve?

Accepted Answer

Our shop is in Jupiter, FL, and we serve homes throughout Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast. That includes Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Tequesta, Juno Beach, Hobe Sound, Palm City, Stuart, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and Delray Beach. All cabinetry is built in our Jupiter workshop and installed by our own crew — we don't subcontract installation.
