Custom Kitchen Cabinetry Minneapolis
If you’re shopping for custom kitchen cabinets in Minneapolis, MN, the difference with Loon Cabinetry is simple: we do all of it ourselves. We design your cabinets, build them, finish them, and install them, so there’s no outsourced factory adding a markup and no handoff between the person who sells the job and the shop that builds it. You work with the same team from the first sketch to the day your kitchen goes in.
We’re a local cabinet maker serving Minneapolis and the wider Twin Cities, with a 5.0 rating across 40+ Google reviews to show for it. Every kitchen we build is sized to your room and planned around how you cook and what you need to store, not trimmed down from whatever came off a shelf.
What "Custom" Really Means With Us
“Custom” gets used loosely in this industry, so here’s what it means at Loon. Your cabinets are custom built from scratch for your room, not pulled from a catalog of stock sizes and shimmed to fit. Every box, door, and drawer is custom made to order in our Minneapolis shop. And because they’re custom sized, an odd wall width or a tall ceiling becomes part of the design instead of a dead gap stuffed with filler. You choose the style, the finish, and the hardware. We make the kitchen fit the room, not the other way around.
A Local Cabinet Maker, Not a Big-Box Middleman
There’s a real difference between buying kitchen cabinets and hiring a cabinet maker. Big-box stores and online sellers move boxes. We make them. When you hire a local kitchen cabinet maker, you can walk into the shop, see the plywood we use, and talk to the person who’s going to build your kitchen.
Being local also means we know Minneapolis homes. We’ve worked in older houses near the lakes where nothing is square, in newer builds out toward Plymouth and Maple Grove, and plenty in between. A custom kitchen cabinet maker who’s actually local can measure your space in person, plan around its quirks, and be there on install day if something needs adjusting.
What’s Inside The Cabinet
What you can’t see matters as much as what you can. We build our cabinet boxes from furniture-grade plywood, which holds screws better and handles Minnesota humidity far better than the particle board in most stock cabinets. Drawers are made from natural wood. Every door and drawer runs on soft-close hardware, so nothing slams. And whether it’s a full kitchen or a single run of uppers, we finish it with a professional-grade coating built to hold up to daily cooking, steam, and cleaning.
More Than Cabinets — Your Whole Kitchen
A kitchen is rarely just cabinets. We handle the full job: layout and design, the build, finishing, and installation. Through trusted local partners, we can also coordinate the parts of a remodel that touch your cabinets, like plumbing, electrical, flooring, tile, and integrated LED lighting. One point of contact, start to finish, which keeps the project moving and the budget honest. Kitchens are only part of what we make. If your project goes beyond the kitchen, we also build mudroom built-ins, home office built-ins, pantry cabinets, bathroom vanities, custom range hoods, wet bars, and living room storage. You can see the full list on our services page.

Why Minneapolis homeowners choose Loon
We’ve kept a 5.0 rating across 40+ Google reviews by doing the unglamorous things well: showing up when we say we will, building exactly what we drew, and standing behind the work after install day. Loon Cabinetry is run by founder Alexei out of our Minneapolis shop, and on most projects you’ll deal with the maker directly rather than a sales rep.

Custom Kitchen Cabinet FAQs
Do you build custom kitchen cabinets near me in the Twin Cities?
Yes. We’re based in Minneapolis and regularly build for homeowners in Minneapolis, St Paul, Edina, Minnetonka, Plymouth, Maple Grove, Chanhassen, Rogers, and St Michael. If you’re not sure whether you’re in range, just call and ask.
What does a custom kitchen cost in Minneapolis?
It depends on the size of the kitchen, the materials and finishes you choose, and how much of the remodel you want us to handle. Custom cabinets aren’t priced like a stock catalog, so the honest answer is that we’ll give you a detailed estimate after we see your space. The consultation and the estimate are free.
How long do custom kitchen cabinets take?
From design sign-off to installed, most kitchens run a number of weeks depending on the scope and our current schedule. We walk through the full week-by-week timeline in a separate guide so you know what to expect at each stage.
What’s the difference between custom and stock kitchen cabinets?
Stock cabinets come in fixed sizes off a shelf, and your kitchen gets adjusted to fit them. Custom cabinets are built to your exact measurements, in your choice of style and finish, with better materials in the parts you don’t see. The result fits the room with no awkward filler gaps.
Do you only build kitchen cabinets?
No. Kitchens are our most-requested project, but we also build mudroom built-ins, home office cabinetry, pantries, bathroom vanities, range hoods, wet bars, and living room storage.
What should I ask before hiring a custom cabinet maker?
Good question to ask early. We wrote up the 11 questions worth asking any cabinet maker before you sign, based on what we’ve seen go wrong on projects people bring to us to fix. Check our blog posts for more details.
