Our Cabinet Services in Tempe, AZ
Custom Kitchen Cabinets
Custom kitchen cabinets in Tempe run $15,000 to $40,000 and up for a full kitchen, and that spread has almost nothing to do with the door style you fell for online. It moves on box construction, drawer count, and whether anyone measured the walls before the order went in.
Bathroom Vanities
Bathroom vanity cabinets take more abuse than anything else we build in Tempe, because they swing from 12 percent humidity in June to a wet towel hanging off the door every night of the year. We size them to the room rather than to a catalog, which in a Hayden Ferry condo bathroom rarely means the 21-inch standard depth.
Walk-In Closets & Wardrobes
A custom closet system in Tempe is usually an exercise in making a 1960s reach-in behave like a walk-in. Most of the gain comes from double-hanging, drawers where bare carpet used to be, and shelving that runs to the ceiling instead of quitting at 84 inches.
Garage Cabinets & Storage
Garage cabinets and storage in Tempe have to survive an unconditioned room that hits 120 degrees in August, and that single fact rules out most of what gets sold as garage cabinetry. Thermofoil doors peel at that temperature, particleboard shelving sags under a case of bottled water, and stick-on hooks let go somewhere around the second summer.
Home Office & Built-Ins
Home office built-ins are the best money you can spend on a spare bedroom in a Tempe ranch, and they run $4,500 to $12,000 for a full wall depending on length and whether the doors get painted or stained. A desk that's scribed into the room gives you eight or ten more usable inches than furniture ever will.
Entertainment Centers & Media Walls
Entertainment center and media wall projects in Tempe succeed or fail on two things that have nothing to do with woodwork: ventilation and glare. A sealed cabinet packed with a receiver and a game console, inside a house that's holding 80 degrees in July because nobody wants that power bill, is an oven with a nice door on it.
Laundry Room Cabinets
Laundry room cabinets in Tempe almost always have to work around machines that are already sitting in a garage or crammed into a 30-inch closet off the hallway. The two upgrades that pay for themselves are a folding counter across the top of front loaders and shallow uppers you can actually reach into.
Pantry Systems
Pantry cabinets and storage are the highest-return square footage in a Tempe kitchen, especially in the condo stock where the entire kitchen is eight to ten feet wide with no wall left to give. Converting a hall closet into a pantry holds more food than a 36-inch tall cabinet and usually costs less than half as much.
Cabinet Refacing, Refinishing & Painting
Cabinet refacing and refinishing runs $4,000 to $10,000 in a typical Tempe kitchen against $15,000 to $40,000 to tear out and replace, and in this town it's the right call more often than it isn't. Tempe was built out decades ago, which means a lot of these kitchens sit on plywood boxes from an era when boxes were built properly and only the doors look their age.
Cabinet Hardware & Organizers
Cabinet hardware and organizers are the cheapest thing in a Tempe kitchen that makes a real difference, at roughly $400 to $1,500 for the whole room. New hinges, new pulls and a couple of drawer inserts change how the kitchen feels every single day, and nothing gets demolished to do it.
Soft-Close & Pull-Out Systems
Soft-close and pull-out shelves are the retrofit most Tempe kitchens should do before they do anything cosmetic, and a full kitchen of both usually lands between $1,200 and $3,500. You keep the cabinets you have and change the part you touch forty times a day.
Countertops
Quartz and granite countertops in Tempe both land in roughly the same place on price, about $60 to $100 a square foot installed for the material most people actually pick. Quartz wins indoors here for one boring reason: it's nonporous, so it never needs sealing and it doesn't stain when a bottle of olive oil tips over behind the range.
Islands & Breakfast Bars
A kitchen island or breakfast bar only works in Tempe if the room can give up 42 inches of clear walkway on the working side, and a lot of these kitchens simply can't. In an eight-to-ten-foot-wide galley, a peninsula or a 24-inch-deep bar top does the same job without turning the room into an obstacle course.
Wine & Bar Cabinets
Wine and bar cabinets in Tempe come with one hard constraint that has nothing to do with cabinetry, and it's heat. A bottle stored at 85 degrees in a garage or an unconditioned pantry is slowly cooking, and no amount of walnut racking fixes that.
Mudroom & Entryway Storage
Mudroom and entryway storage in Tempe has almost nothing to do with mud and everything to do with dust, bikes and the pile that forms three feet inside the door. A bench at 18 inches with hooks above it and open cubbies underneath handles most of what a Tempe household actually drops.
Commercial Cabinetry & Millwork
Commercial cabinetry and millwork in Tempe gets specified to AWI Custom or Premium grade, and on this kind of work the spec sheet decides the outcome more than the rendering does. We build reception desks, transaction counters, breakroom casework, retail fixtures and bar fronts for tenant improvements around the campus edge, the Marina Heights offices and the surrounding business parks.

Custom Kitchen Cabinets

It moves on box construction, drawer count, and whether anyone measured the walls before the order went in. We build to the room you actually have, which in the Maple-Ash district usually means a 1962 galley with a soffit boxed in above the uppers hiding nothing but air.

Bathroom Vanities
Bathroom vanity cabinets take more abuse than anything else we build in Tempe, because they swing from 12 percent humidity in June to a wet towel hanging off the door every night of the year. We size them to the room rather than to a catalog, which in a Hayden Ferry condo bathroom rarely means the 21-inch standard depth. Two inches back at the vanity is the difference between a bathroom you turn sideways in and one you don't.

Walk-In Closets & Wardrobes
A custom closet system in Tempe is usually an exercise in making a 1960s reach-in behave like a walk-in. Most of the gain comes from double-hanging, drawers where bare carpet used to be, and shelving that runs to the ceiling instead of quitting at 84 inches. The footprint doesn't change and the storage roughly doubles.

A desk that's scribed into the room gives you eight or ten more usable inches than furniture ever will. That's the whole pitch, and in a 10-by-11 bedroom it's a big deal.

Laundry Room Cabinets
Laundry room cabinets in Tempe almost always have to work around machines that are already sitting in a garage or crammed into a 30-inch closet off the hallway.

Tempe was built out decades ago, which means a lot of these kitchens sit on plywood boxes from an era when boxes were built properly and only the doors look their age.

Countertops

Quartz wins indoors here for one boring reason: it's nonporous, so it never needs sealing and it doesn't stain when a bottle of olive oil tips over behind the range. Granite is beautiful and harder to hurt with a hot pan, and it wants sealing about once a year.

Wine & Bar Cabinets
Wine and bar cabinets in Tempe come with one hard constraint that has nothing to do with cabinetry, and it's heat. A bottle stored at 85 degrees in a garage or an unconditioned pantry is slowly cooking, and no amount of walnut racking fixes that. So we design around a cooling unit first and build the pretty part around it.

Mudroom & Entryway Storage
Mudroom and entryway storage in Tempe has almost nothing to do with mud and everything to do with dust, bikes and the pile that forms three feet inside the door. A bench at 18 inches with hooks above it and open cubbies underneath handles most of what a Tempe household actually drops. The rest is cabinetry people ask for and then stop opening.

Commercial cabinetry and millwork in Tempe gets specified to AWI Custom or Premium grade, and on this kind of work the spec sheet decides the outcome more than the rendering does. We build reception desks, transaction counters, breakroom casework, retail fixtures and bar fronts for tenant improvements around the campus edge, the Marina Heights offices and the surrounding business parks. Shop drawings come before anything gets cut, and they get field-verified.

What Tempe property owners ask us
Which cabinet services does Tempe Elite Cabinets handle?
Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across Tempe and the Salt River Valley. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.
Can I combine more than one service in a single job?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling cabinet work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.
Do you give free estimates for every service?
Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
What Tempe Customers Say
They looked at our 1968 kitchen and said the boxes were fine and we should reface. Took the soffit out, ran the uppers to the ceiling, new doors and drawers, and it feels like a different room.
Only shop that explained why solid raised panels move in our climate and why they let the wood sit in the house first. Quartersawn white oak, inset doors, and every reveal is still even.
Nine-foot-wide condo kitchen and they got a pantry cabinet, roll-outs, and deep pot drawers into it without moving a single pipe. Practical people who measure twice.
Small budget, honest advice. They converted the low shelves to drawers and swapped every hinge to soft-close for a fraction of what two other companies quoted for a rebuild.
They asked what I could reach before drawing anything. Drawers instead of low shelves, D-pulls rather than knobs, and knee clearance at the vanity. Nobody else brought it up.
Built the break room and reception casework for our suite and hit the date. Laminate tops, 3mm edges, and they coordinated the data drops with our contractor without being chased.
