Custom Cabinets in New York.

Custom cabinets for Brooklyn brownstone, pre-war co-op, and Hamptons kitchens, built to a room's actual walls and a building's real delivery constraints, not a modular size chart.

In short

A New York kitchen renovation almost never starts from a builder-grade footprint, and the cabinets that actually make it into the room have to clear a pre-war building's narrow stairwell or a booked freight-elevator slot first. Crateworks builds the boxes to break down for that trip and finishes them on low-formaldehyde TSCA Title VI panels.

Built for New York’s climate

Steam heat pulls the winter air dry in most older New York buildings, and a muggy summer swings it right back, which is enough seasonal movement that a box built for a different climate starts telegraphing gaps within a season. The substrate and finish get chosen for that swing, on panels that meet US EPA TSCA Title VI (CARB Phase 2) formaldehyde limits, which matters in an apartment that stays sealed most of the year. But the New York-specific problem is getting the cabinets into the building at all. A brownstone walk-up stairwell and a co-op's freight-elevator booking window are both real limits on box size, and we design around them before the first panel is cut.

Why it suits New York

The money that would go to a local kitchen shop's markup goes into the build instead: solid boxes, soft-close throughout, the exact layout your renovation drawings call for, at close to what a stock kitchen costs locally. A Hamptons kitchen with a real loading dock has more room to work with than a fifth-floor brownstone walk-up, and we design the box sizing to whichever one applies.

Common questions

That gets designed in from the start. Tell us your building's access, a walk-up stairwell, a booked elevator slot, a loading dock, and the boxes are sized and broken down to clear it.
We supply the cut sheets and finish specs a board typically asks for. The approval itself runs through your building, so confirm the timeline locally before scheduling delivery.
They meet US EPA TSCA Title VI (CARB Phase 2) limits, the standard that counts in a sealed apartment where that air gets breathed year round.
Send the renovation drawings and we build to them end to end, door style, finish, box configuration, hardware. There is no fixed catalog to squeeze a galley kitchen into.
