What We Build
Custom Kitchen Cabinets Built for Your Room

Custom kitchen cabinets means one thing: built to the exact dimensions of your specific kitchen, in the wood and finish you choose, with no filler strips and no standard modules forced to fit where they do not belong. That is what we build. Not a catalog product. Not a semi-custom line with a narrow range of options. Every kitchen we produce starts with a blank page and your measurements.

We are Choice Custom Cabinetry and Design. Our shop is in Honey Brook, Pennsylvania, and we have been building Amish-made custom kitchen cabinets since 1979. Every cabinet uses solid hardwood throughout. No MDF door fronts, no particleboard boxes. Every drawer box is built with hand-cut dovetail joints by our craftsmen.

We are the manufacturer. No showroom markup, no middleman. When Pennsylvania homeowners compare our custom pricing to what local dealers charge for semi-custom lines, they are consistently surprised by how close the numbers are.

Door Styles
Kitchen Cabinet Styles We Build

Door profile is the most visible design decision in a kitchen. We build every major style, and the construction behind each one is the same solid hardwood standard regardless of which direction you choose.

Most Popular
Shaker
Five-piece frame with a recessed flat center panel. The most versatile profile available, works from farmhouse to contemporary. Available in full overlay and inset construction.
Full Inset
Doors sit flush within the face frame rather than covering it. The most precise construction we make. Looks like furniture, not cabinetry. Adds 15 to 25 percent to door cost.
Raised Panel
Traditional profile with a panel built up from the door face. Creates dimensional shadow lines. Popular in more formal and traditional kitchen styles throughout Pennsylvania.
Slab / Flat Panel
Single flat piece with no frame. The cleanest contemporary option. Works well with natural wood grain and bold paint colors like the deep charcoal and navy kitchens we build regularly.
Glass Insert
Upper cabinet doors with glass panels. Adds visual depth, allows display of dishware or objects, and can be combined with internal LED lighting. Available in clear, seeded, or frosted glass.
Beaded Inset
Traditional inset construction with a beaded detail on the face frame opening. The classic American kitchen profile seen in Pennsylvania farmhouses and historic homes throughout Lancaster County.

See the full selection with photos on our door styles page. If you are deciding between inset and full overlay, our post on inset vs overlay cabinets covers the construction differences and cost implications in detail.

Wood Species
What Goes Into Your Kitchen Cabinet

The wood species determines the character of a natural wood kitchen and the performance of a painted one. Here is what we work with and when each makes sense.

Species Best For Character Price Tier
White Oak (Rift-Cut) Natural or light stain Tight linear grain, warm neutral tone Most Popular
Hard Maple Painted or light stain Very tight grain, smooth painted surface Mid Range
Poplar / Soft Maple Painted kitchens only Best substrate for painted finish Paint Grade
Cherry Natural or stain Warm reddish, deepens with age Mid Range
Walnut Natural finish kitchens Rich, dark, dramatic grain Premium
Hickory Farmhouse, rustic styles High contrast grain variation Mid Range

White oak is the most requested kitchen species in our shop right now. See our dedicated white oak kitchen guide for finish options, aging characteristics, and hardware pairings. For painted kitchens, our 2026 kitchen color guide covers what Pennsylvania homeowners are choosing right now.

Construction
How Every Kitchen Cabinet Is Built

Understanding what goes into a well-built cabinet explains why the price difference between Amish custom and big-box stock is real, and why it matters more than most homeowners realize until their kitchen is ten years old.

Face Frames
Every face frame is solid hardwood, hand-fitted to its specific cabinet box, and checked for square before finishing. The joint between face frame and box is one of the first places quality differences appear when you examine cabinets closely.
Cabinet Boxes
Furniture-grade plywood and solid wood components. No particleboard. Particleboard swells when it gets wet, loses screw-holding strength over time, and cannot be repaired. A kitchen is a wet environment. The box material matters.
Dovetail Drawer Boxes
Every drawer box in every kitchen we build uses hand-cut dovetail joints. A dovetail is a mechanical joint that gets tighter under load. It does not rely on staples or glue alone. A dovetail drawer opened 50 times a day for 30 years still closes smoothly. See our dovetail drawer guide for the full explanation.
Finish
Conversion varnish applied in our dedicated spray department in multiple coats with sanding between coats. Harder and more consistent than on-site brush application. Holds color and resists cleaning products better than standard latex paint finishes. Read more on our craftsmanship page.

Our Process
From First Conversation to Installed Kitchen
1
Consultation
Visit our 6,000 square foot showroom in Honey Brook or we visit your home for larger projects. We take measurements, look at wood species and finish samples together, and talk through layout and design direction. No charge, no obligation.
2
Design and 3D approval
Our team produces detailed drawings and a 3D rendering showing every cabinet before production starts. You approve the design. Changes at this stage cost nothing. See how we work for the full process.
3
Built by hand in Honey Brook
Production takes 8 to 12 weeks for full custom. Face frames hand-fitted, dovetail drawer boxes, conversion varnish finish in our spray department. Every cabinet checked before it leaves the shop. Need it faster? Our semi-custom line ships in 3 to 5 weeks.
4
Installed by our own crew
Our installation crew handles everything from delivery to final touch-up throughout Pennsylvania and neighboring states. We scribe to imperfect walls and ceilings, handle crown molding, and do not leave until the project is complete. No subcontractors.

Common Questions
Custom Kitchen Cabinet FAQ
Custom cabinets are built to the exact dimensions of your room with no standard sizing constraints. Any width, any height, any wood, any profile. Semi-custom cabinets come in standard width increments and offer a limited range of wood species and door profiles. Both options from our shop use solid hardwood and dovetail drawers. The choice depends on whether your room has non-standard dimensions and how much design flexibility matters to you. Our semi-custom page covers that option in detail.
Full custom production takes 8 to 12 weeks after design approval. Add 2 to 4 weeks for the design and approval phase and you are looking at 10 to 16 weeks from first consultation to installed kitchen in most cases. We recommend starting the process 4 to 6 months before your target completion date, especially if you are coordinating with a contractor on a broader renovation. Our lead time guide covers everything that affects the timeline.
Yes. Our quotes are complete installed prices. Design consultation, 3D renderings, materials, production, finishing, delivery, and installation by our own crew are all included. We do not separate installation as a line item because responsibility for the finished result needs to stay in one place. Countertops, appliances, plumbing, and electrical are separate.
In most cases yes. We can match existing door profiles, finish colors, and hardware to cabinets already in your kitchen if you are adding rather than replacing entirely. Bring photos and any finish information you have to the consultation and we will tell you honestly whether a match is achievable. We can also mill custom profiles to match historic millwork in older Pennsylvania homes.
Yes. We work regularly with architects, interior designers, and general contractors throughout Pennsylvania and neighboring states. We produce detailed shop drawings, work from architectural specifications, and coordinate production and delivery with the project schedule. See our designer and builder page for how we work with the trade.
