Idea of a custom kitchen

Hi all! I recently got interested in the idea of a custom kitchen and came across the MaineCabinetCompany website. They say that the kitchen is the heart of the home, and it really is. I'm thinking about ordering cabinets from them. But I have a few questions. First, I'm not sure how much it costs to order a custom kitchen if you're on a budget. I've heard it can be more expensive than off-the-shelf solutions and there are time issues. I'm also curious how realistic it is to get the perfect fit for custom sizes and layouts. Has anyone ordered a kitchen or cabinets from them? Please share your experiences!

I ordered a kitchen from Cabinet Makeovers Maine a year ago and I can share my experience. I will say right away that it was one of the best choices I made in terms of renovation. Yes, custom kitchen cabinetry will cost more than standard models from stores, but if a combination of quality, functionality and aesthetics is important to you, then this approach is worth the money. The process began with a consultation with the designer. We were offered several options, but it was important that all of them were specifically tailored to our needs. We wanted to make the most of the space, since the kitchen in our house is not large, and it was important to make it not only beautiful, but also functional. The designer made several 3D models, and this allowed us to clearly see how the cabinets and other elements in our space would look. Already at this stage, we realized that we were getting something unique, and it would not be just a set of standard boxes that you can buy in a store. As for the quality of the materials, everything is top notch here. We chose a quartz countertop, and it looks great. In addition, we ordered crown molding, which added sophistication to the kitchen. Every detail was worked out with precision, from the fittings to the installation itself. By the way, the master who did the installation was a real professional - quickly, clearly and without unnecessary questions, everything was perfectly adjusted to size.

Thank you for such a detailed review! I have also been thinking about a custom kitchen and would be interested to hear your opinion. I have noticed that many companies on the market offer custom furniture, but not all approach it with such attention to detail as in this case. As I understand it, the main difference with MaineCabinetCompany is that they do not just offer standard solutions, but something that will perfectly fit your layout and style. But at the same time, price and timing are always important points, so it is worth thinking about everything in advance so that there are no surprises. Has anyone else done a renovation with similar kitchens?
