Frequently Asked Questions

What does “custom cabinetry” mean?
Custom cabinetry is designed specifically for your home rather than being limited to predetermined sizes and configurations. Cabinet dimensions, finishes, door styles, storage features, and design details can all be tailored to the space and to how you want to use it. Choosing to do custom cabinetry gives the homeowner more freedom and control over their space all while providing a high end feel.
Do you work on both renovations and new construction?
Yes. We work on everything from individual kitchen renovations to cabinetry for new construction homes and larger whole-home projects. The design process is tailored to the scope of each project with confident and experienced designers that have done all kinds of projects.
What areas do you serve?
Jack Rosen Custom Kitchens works with homeowners, designers, architects, and builders mainly throughout Maryland, Washington, DC, and Northern Virginia.
What is the first step in the design process?
The process begins with a conversation about your project, your space, and what you hope to accomplish. We want to understand how you use your kitchen or other space, what is currently working, or not working, and what you would like to change. From there, we can begin developing a design that balances function, style, and the architecture of your home.
Can you help me determine my kitchen style?
Absolutely! You don't need to know whether your style is traditional, transitional, contemporary, or something in between before meeting with us. We help guide selections and bring together cabinetry, finishes, colors, hardware, and other details to create a cohesive design that feels personal to you. That's what we are here for!
Can you help improve my existing kitchen layout?
Yes. In many projects, changing the layout is just as important as changing the cabinetry. We look at appliance placement, work zones, storage, walkways, seating, counter space, and how the kitchen connects to surrounding rooms. When appropriate, a project may also involve moving walls, doors, or windows to create a better overall layout.
Can you incorporate special storage into my cabinetry?
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of custom cabinetry is the ability to design storage around your needs. This can include appliance garages, pantry storage, specialized drawers, tray dividers, pull-outs, hidden storage, charging areas, and many other solutions.
Do you work with interior designers, architects, and builders?
Yes. We regularly collaborate with designers, architects, builders, and contractors. We can work as part of the existing project team to coordinate cabinetry layouts, dimensions, appliance specifications, installation details, and other elements throughout the project.
Do I need to have a contractor before contacting you?
Not necessarily. You can contact us at different stages of your project. If you already have an architect, designer, builder, or contractor involved, we are happy to collaborate with them. If you're still in the early planning stages, we can begin discussing the cabinetry and design needs first, and we always have people we are happy to recommend!
How long does a custom kitchen project take?
Every project is different. The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project, the amount of design work involved, cabinetry selections, construction requirements, and manufacturing lead times. During the design process, we'll discuss the expected timeline for your specific project.
How much does a custom kitchen cost?
Because every kitchen is designed specifically for the client and their home, there isn't one standard price. Cabinetry cost depends on the size of the space, materials, finishes, construction, interior storage features, and level of customization. Once we understand the scope of your project, we can provide more specific guidance. You can always reach out to get a cost that is fitted to your space.
Can you match cabinetry to the style of my home?
Yes. We believe a kitchen should feel connected to the rest of the home. Cabinetry proportions, moldings, wood species, colors, finishes, and architectural details can all be designed to complement the existing architecture, or help take the home in a completely new direction.
Why choose custom cabinetry?
Custom cabinetry gives you greater flexibility in both design and function. Instead of designing your kitchen around standard cabinet sizes, we can design the cabinetry around your space, your storage needs, and the way you live. It also allows for a higher level of detail and personalization, from unique finishes and materials to cabinetry designed for specific architectural conditions.
