Can A General Contractor Also Build Cabinets?

Updated: Jul 10



A few months ago Ace’s Custom Builds in Huntsville, Texas, built out our workshop to focus specifically on custom cabinets. General contractor Jason Strange has been constructing commercial buildings, residential barndominiums and custom homes for twenty years. As he got more into crafting homes, custom cabinets seemed like a natural thing for him to add into his building repertoire.


Today, we're going to take a look into the heart of crafting our custom cabinets. At Aces Custom Builds, we take immense pride in every detail of our work, and our custom cabinets are no exception. So, grab a cup of coffee, and let's take a behind-the-scenes look at what sets our cabinets apart.


Why Choose a General Contractor Who is Also a Custom Cabinet Maker?


When embarking on the journey of building a custom metal home, the choice of a general contractor can significantly impact the overall outcome of the project. Opting for a general contractor who also specializes in custom cabinetry can offer a multitude of benefits that streamline the construction process and elevate the final result.


First and foremost, working with a general contractor such as Jason Strange who offers custom cabinet services ensures seamless coordination between different aspects of the home construction. Rather than dealing with multiple contractors for various components of the project, having a single point of contact simplifies communication and minimizes the risk of miscommunication or delays. This integrated approach allows for better project management, ensuring that timelines are met and the construction progresses smoothly.



Additionally, a general contractor with expertise in custom cabinet making brings a unique understanding of design cohesion and functionality to the project. At Ace’s Custom Builds, we can collaborate closely with homeowners to create custom cabinet solutions that not only complement the overall aesthetic of the home but also maximize space utilization and functionality. From kitchen cabinetry to built-in storage solutions, having a contractor who understands the intricacies of cabinet design ensures that every detail is meticulously crafted to meet the homeowner's specific needs and preferences.


Moreover, the synergy between the general contractor and the custom cabinet team fosters innovation and creativity in home design, in our case, that’s the same person so the synergy runs magically. With a deep understanding of both the structural requirements of the home and the aesthetic possibilities of custom cabinetry, the contractor can propose innovative solutions that enhance the overall design concept and elevate the homeowner's living experience. Whether it's integrating smart storage solutions or incorporating unique design elements, having a general contractor who does custom cabinets opens up a world of possibilities for creating a truly personalized home environment.

How Ace’s Custom Kitchen Cabinets Stand Out


When building a custom home, every detail matters – from the foundation to the finishing touches. At Ace’s Custom Builds, we understand the significance of quality craftsmanship, especially when it comes to custom cabinets. The Pinedale custom home in Huntsville, Texas, was the debute of our custom cabinets and we couldn't love more how the kitchen cabinets turned out.  


That's why we're proud of our capabilities, including crafting our own custom cabinets for our clients' projects. With a focus on quality materials and meticulous attention to detail, our custom cabinets are designed to elevate both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your home. From durability to design, working with a general contractor like Jason Strange, who is also a custom cabinet maker, offers a host of benefits that ensure your home reflects your unique style and stands the test of time. Here are a few things that make us stand out.


Quality Materials for Lasting Durability


Expanding the workshop and giving ourselves more space to craft our own custom cabinets for our upcoming projects has been exciting. When it comes to quality, Ace’s Custom Builds doesn’t cut corners. That's why we use ½ inch material on all three sides and the bottom floor of our cabinets. But that's not all – for extra durability and sturdiness, we've opted for ¾ inch material on the bottom floor, ensuring our cabinets are rock solid and built to last.

Aesthetic Appeal: Embracing Natural Beauty


Now, let's talk about aesthetics. We love the character that exposed knots bring to our cabinets. Once stained, they lend a charming, custom country look that adds warmth and personality to any home. Each kitchen cabinet tells a story, showcasing the natural beauty of the materials we use.


On the Bradley family’s custom cabinets, a more modern approach was taken on the handles. Using sleek metal handles to compliment the stain of the wood, it’s simple and warm country elegant.


Functional Design for Everyday Use


But it's not just about looks – functionality is key. That's why we pay special attention to our drawer boxes. We construct them with precision, using ½ inch material on all four sides and an additional ¼ inch on the bottom floor. This ensures that our drawers can handle whatever you throw at them – from heavy pots and pans to everyday essentials. With our carefully crafted drawer boxes, you can trust that your belongings are safely stored and easily accessible.


Smooth Operation with High-Quality Hardware


Of course, hardware matters too. That's why we've chosen under-mount soft close hardware for our cabinets. Not only does it provide a sleek and modern finish, but it also enhances the overall functionality of our cabinets. Say goodbye to slamming drawers and hello to smooth, quiet closing every time.


Custom-Built with Precision and Care


And let's not forget about customization. All of our cabinets are custom-built right here in-house. When you decide to work with general contractor Jason Strange, the first step is to sit down with him and describe your dream home. He’ll draw it in front of you, as you speak it into being, including the cabinets. 


For example, say you saw a picture on Pinterest or in a design magazine of cabinets with plate slots, glass doors and a little nook for cookbooks. Show Jason Strange your inspiration and tell him what you like and don’t like and he’ll make it happen.


From there, in house interior designer Dana Wallace helps you design the interior of a custom metal home. Paint colors, stone slabs, knobs and more, Dana has the eye and experience to help you make your home exactly how you want it on the inside. 

From the initial design to the final finishing touches, we're involved every step of the way. Whether you're looking for a timeless classic or a contemporary masterpiece, we can bring your vision to life.
