Getting started
How do I start a custom cabinet project with Savage Designs?
Call us at (916) 765-5003 or send a request through our contact page. We will schedule a free design consultation to discuss your space, goals, style and budget.
Is the design consultation free?
Yes. Your first consultation is free and without obligation. We will talk through your project, review ideas and outline next steps.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Rocklin, CA and serve Placer, Sacramento, El Dorado and Yolo counties — including Roseville, Granite Bay, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Lincoln, Sacramento, Auburn, Loomis, Woodland, Davis and Lake Tahoe.
Cost & timeline
How much do custom cabinets cost?
Pricing depends on size, wood species, door style, finish and interior accessories. Because every project is custom, we provide a detailed quote after the design consultation so there are no surprises.
How long does a custom cabinet project take?
Typical kitchens take 8–12 weeks from approved drawings to installation. Smaller projects like vanities or built-ins are often faster. We provide a schedule before production begins.
Are custom cabinets worth it compared to stock or semi-custom?
Custom cabinets are built to fit your exact space, use better materials and last significantly longer. They maximize storage, avoid filler panels and are a lasting investment in your home.
Materials & craftsmanship
What wood species do you work with?
Popular choices include white oak, rift-sawn oak, walnut, maple, cherry, alder and paint-grade hardwoods. We will bring samples so you can see and feel the options.
What cabinet door styles do you offer?
Shaker, slab, inset, beaded inset, raised panel, reeded and custom profiles — in both framed and frameless construction.
Are your cabinets built locally?
Yes. Every cabinet is designed and built in our workshop at 6661 Stanford Ranch Road in Rocklin, California.
Working together
Do you install the cabinets you build?
Yes. Our own team installs, scribes and adjusts every project for a precise, finished fit.
Do you work with contractors, builders and designers?
We do. We partner with general contractors, custom home builders, architects and interior designers throughout the Sacramento region.
Can you match existing cabinetry or trim?
In most cases, yes. We can match profiles, species and finishes so new work blends with existing millwork.
