Kitchen Cabinet Styles for Every San Antonio Home
Your cabinet style sets the tone for your entire kitchen. Our design team helps you select the perfect style to complement your home's architecture and your personal taste.
Shaker Style Cabinets
The most popular choice in San Antonio and across the country, Shaker cabinets feature a five-piece door with a recessed center panel and clean, simple lines. This versatile style works beautifully in traditional, transitional, and even contemporary kitchens. Available in every finish from crisp white to rich espresso, Shaker cabinets offer timeless appeal that won't look dated in 10 or 20 years.
Flat-Panel (Slab) Cabinets
Sleek and modern, flat-panel doors have no frames or raised panels—just a smooth, uninterrupted surface. This minimalist style is perfect for contemporary and modern kitchens where clean lines take priority. High-gloss finishes make a bold statement, while matte finishes offer understated sophistication.
Raised Panel Cabinets
The hallmark of traditional kitchen design, raised panel doors feature a center panel that projects outward from the frame. Ornate profiles and detailed moldings create a classic, elegant look that pairs beautifully with San Antonio's many traditional and Spanish-influenced homes.
Glass-Front Cabinets
Add visual interest and display your favorite dishware with glass-front cabinets. Options range from clear glass to seeded, frosted, or leaded glass. Glass fronts work as accent pieces—typically installed in select upper cabinets—to break up solid door expanses and add depth to your design.
Open Shelving
Increasingly popular in modern and farmhouse kitchens, open shelving replaces some or all upper cabinets with floating shelves. This approach creates an open, airy feel and puts everyday items within easy reach. Our designers can help you balance open shelving with closed storage for practical functionality.
Custom Cabinet Options for Your Home
If you want new cabinets, our team can help you design, build, and install the perfect setup in your home. During the design phase, we customize our approach depending on your kitchen's dimensions. Whether you have a cozy kitchen or tons of space, we'll find a solution that suits you. Extensive experience lets us avoid common mistakes like overcrowding, inadequate storage, or ignoring the work triangle. Our kitchen cabinet installation company can enhance your home value with custom design, including elements like:
Cabinet styles
Choose from Shaker, flat-panel, glass-front, raised, or other panel options for a traditional or sleek appearance.

If you want natural wood, we can discuss various types to find your desired look.

Should You Reface or Replace Your Kitchen Cabinets?
If your existing cabinet boxes are in good condition, refacing can deliver a dramatic transformation at a lower cost than full replacement. Here's how to decide:
Consider Cabinet Refacing If:
- Your cabinet boxes are structurally sound (no warping, water damage, or loose joints)
- You're happy with your current kitchen layout
- Your cabinets are solid wood or quality plywood construction
- You want to change the style or color without major disruption
- Budget is a primary concern (refacing typically costs 40-50% less than replacement)
Consider New Custom Cabinets If:
- Your cabinet boxes show signs of damage, warping, or moisture issues
- You want to change your kitchen layout or add storage
- Current cabinets are particle board or low-quality construction
- You're doing a complete kitchen remodel with layout changes
- Your current cabinets are poorly designed or inefficiently laid out
Not sure which option is right for you? Our design team can assess your existing cabinets and provide honest recommendations based on their condition and your goals.

Understanding Cabinet Construction and Materials
Not all cabinets are created equal. Understanding construction methods and materials helps you make informed decisions about quality and value.
Cabinet Box Construction
Plywood Construction (Recommended)
The gold standard for cabinet boxes. Plywood is made from thin layers of wood veneer glued together, creating a strong, stable material that resists warping and holds screws securely. Our custom cabinets feature plywood box construction for lasting durability.
Particle Board
Made from wood particles bonded with resin, particle board is less expensive but more susceptible to moisture damage and doesn't hold hardware as well over time. Common in builder-grade and budget cabinets.
MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard)
Engineered wood that's denser and smoother than particle board. MDF is excellent for painted doors due to its smooth surface, but performs poorly when exposed to moisture.
Door Materials
Solid Wood
Premium choice for natural beauty and durability. Solid wood doors can be stained to showcase grain patterns or painted for a smooth finish. Species options include maple, cherry, oak, hickory, and more, each with unique characteristics.
MDF with Wood Veneer
MDF core with a thin layer of real wood veneer offers the look of solid wood at a lower price point. An excellent choice for stained finishes when budget is a consideration.
Thermofoil
Vinyl film applied over MDF creates a smooth, easy-clean surface at a budget-friendly price. Best for painted looks, though it can peel over time with heat exposure near ovens and dishwashers.
Custom Storage Solutions for Your Kitchen
Modern cabinet design goes far beyond doors and drawers. We incorporate intelligent storage solutions that maximize every inch of your kitchen and make daily life easier.
Pull-Out Shelves
Transform deep base cabinets from black holes into easily accessible storage. Pull-out shelves bring items from the back of the cabinet right to you—no more kneeling and reaching into dark corners.
Corner Cabinet Solutions
Don't waste valuable corner space. Lazy Susans, pull-out corner units, and magic corner systems make the most of these challenging areas, keeping pots, pans, and appliances organized and accessible.
Appliance Garages
Keep countertops clear while keeping frequently-used appliances accessible. Appliance garages hide blenders, toasters, and coffee makers behind a door that lifts or slides away when needed.
Drawer Organizers
Custom-fitted drawer inserts keep utensils, spices, and tools neatly organized. Options include knife blocks, spice drawer inserts, and adjustable dividers that adapt to your specific needs.
Vertical Storage
Narrow pull-outs beside the range store cooking oils and spices at arm's reach. Tall pantry pull-outs maximize vertical space while keeping everything visible and organized.
Waste and Recycling Centers
Built-in pull-out bins for trash and recycling keep waste out of sight and make sorting convenient. Multiple compartment options accommodate San Antonio's recycling programs.
Our Step-by-Step Kitchen Cabinet Process
We follow a structured, step-by-step process to create customized 3D renderings of your kitchen for your remodel. Whether you're just exploring possibilities or ready to dive into construction, our approach ensures a smooth and enjoyable experience.
Initial Consultation & Design
The kitchen cabinet installation process at C&S Remodeling begins with an in-depth initial consultation. You meet with a design specialist during this phase to discuss your vision, needs, and preferences. This step is crucial as it allows our team to understand the specific requirements and style preferences.
We will take measurements, assess the kitchen layout, and offer expert advice on cabinet styles, materials, and finishes. By the end of the consultation, we will have created a detailed cabinet design plan that aligns every aspect of the project with your expectations.
Cabinet Selection
After the design approval, the process moves into selecting the perfect cabinets for your kitchen. C&S Remodeling offers a wide range of high-quality materials and styles, ensuring each piece meets your aesthetic and functional needs. Our team provides expert guidance to help you select cabinets that enhance your kitchen's look and durability. With a focus on precision and detail, we make sure your cabinets are beautiful and built to last, perfectly fitting your kitchen's specific dimensions and style.
Professional Cabinet Installation
Once the cabinets are selected, the professional installation phase begins. Our kitchen cabinet installers at C&S Remodeling handle each project with care and efficiency. They provide secure and accurate cabinet installation, paying close attention to alignment and functionality. We complete this step promptly with minimal disruption to the household. The result is a seamlessly integrated kitchen cabinet system that enhances the overall look and usability of the space.
Final Inspection and Client Approval
The final step in our kitchen cabinet installation process is the thorough inspection and client approval. After installation, we conduct a detailed inspection to make sure every kitchen cabinet is perfectly installed and meets the highest quality standards. The team checks for proper alignment, finishes, and functionality, addressing any minor adjustments if necessary.
Once the inspection is complete, we invite you to review the work. That way, you can be sure you are completely satisfied with the outcome. Then, we make any final touches to achieve perfection. We only consider the project complete when you are happy with your new kitchen cabinets.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Cabinets
How long does cabinet installation take?
For a complete cabinet replacement in an average-sized San Antonio kitchen, installation typically takes 2-4 days once cabinets arrive. Custom cabinets require 4-8 weeks for fabrication before installation begins.
Can you match my existing cabinets for an addition or island?
We'll do our best to match your existing cabinets. If an exact match isn't possible, our designers can recommend complementary options that coordinate beautifully—like a contrasting island color that intentionally stands out.
What's the best cabinet finish for San Antonio's climate?
San Antonio's humidity can affect wood cabinets. We recommend quality finishes with proper sealing, and for painted cabinets, conversion varnishes that resist moisture and yellowing. Our team specifies finishes appropriate for Texas conditions.
Do you remove and dispose of old cabinets?
Yes, cabinet removal and disposal is included in our full-service cabinet installation. We handle everything so you don't have to coordinate multiple contractors or haul debris yourself.
