We are based in Smithtown, at 70 Laurel Drive, and custom cabinets have been part of our work here since the beginning. For over 23 years, Preferred Remodeling & Construction Co. has been building and installing custom cabinetry for Smithtown homeowners across every neighborhood in town, from the older colonials near Landing Avenue to the larger properties north of Route 25A toward the Sound. When homeowners in Smithtown search for kitchen cabinets near me or custom cabinets near me, we are the local shop they find, and more importantly, the one their neighbors recommend.
Smithtown's housing stock is diverse, and that diversity shows up in the cabinetry work we do here. The mid-century ranches in the interior neighborhoods often have kitchens with original cabinets that are structurally sound but dated, and cabinet refacing or
cabinet refinishing can transform them without the cost of full replacement. The larger newer homes on the north side have bigger kitchens with islands and pantry layouts that benefit from fully custom cabinetry built to fit the space exactly. We handle both, and we have built our business on knowing the difference between what a home needs and what a homeowner can get elsewhere for less.

Featured Custom Cabinet Services in Smithtown

Kitchen Cabinets and Kitchen Island Work in Smithtown
Kitchen cabinets are where most of our Smithtown work begins. We design and build kitchen cabinets from scratch, which means the layout, the box dimensions, the door style, and the storage configuration all start with what the kitchen actually requires rather than what a showroom has in stock. Kitchen island work in Smithtown is something we do regularly, particularly in the larger homes north of Jericho Turnpike where open kitchen plans benefit from a substantial island with integrated storage, seating, and surface space. We build the island to the kitchen, not to a catalog measurement.

Pantry Cabinets and Bathroom Vanity Cabinets in Smithtown
Pantry cabinets in Smithtown kitchens are increasingly a priority for homeowners who are updating older homes where the original kitchen had little organized storage. We build full pantry systems with pull-out shelving, door-mounted organizers, and drawer configurations that make the pantry genuinely functional rather than just a cabinet with shelves. Bathroom vanity cabinets are another consistent part of our Smithtown work. Older homes in the Landing Avenue and Brooksite Drive neighborhoods often have original bathroom cabinetry that is outdated and undersized. We replace it with built-to-fit vanity cabinets that use the full available space.

Cabinet Refinishing and Cabinet Refacing in Smithtown
Cabinet refinishing and cabinet refacing are options we discuss honestly with Smithtown homeowners whose existing cabinets are structurally sound but no longer match what they want the kitchen to look like. Cabinet refacing replaces the doors and drawer fronts while keeping the existing box, which is the right call when the boxes are square and solid. Cabinet resurfacing and cabinet refinishing address the surface finish, which can be enough when the hardware and layout are already working. We do not push full replacement when a less expensive option accomplishes the goal.

Garage Cabinets and Floating Shelves in Smithtown
Garage cabinets are something Smithtown homeowners ask about more frequently than in communities further east, partly because the older homes here have garages that were designed for storage as much as for parking. We build garage cabinet systems that are built to the specific dimensions of the space, with materials suited to the temperature swings and humidity levels that uninsulated garages deal with through a Long Island winter. Floating shelves throughout the home, in kitchens, offices, mudrooms, and living spaces, are built the same way: to the wall, to the depth the space allows, and finished to match the surrounding millwork.
Why Smithtown Homeowners Have Relied on Preferred Remodeling for Custom Cabinetry
We are a women-owned business that started in Smithtown and has stayed here. Our growth from a one-person operation to a crew of seven carpenters happened because Smithtown homeowners kept calling us back and kept telling their neighbors about us. That is the only way to build a business in a community this connected.
Every custom cabinet job we do in Smithtown is backed by our full licensing and insurance in New York State, and the crew that gives you the estimate is the same crew that does the work. We do not subcontract cabinetry work. We build it in-house, we install it, and we stand behind it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between custom cabinets and semi-custom cabinets for a Smithtown kitchen?
Custom cabinets are built from scratch to the exact dimensions of your Smithtown kitchen. Every box, every drawer, every door is sized to fit the specific space. Semi-custom cabinets come in standard sizes with limited modifications. In a kitchen with an unusual layout, an angled wall, or a specific storage need, custom cabinetry is the only option that actually fits. We build custom cabinets in Smithtown regularly and the difference in fit and finish is immediately apparent.
Can you do cabinet refacing in a Smithtown home without replacing the full kitchen
Yes. Cabinet refacing in Smithtown is a practical option when the existing cabinet boxes are square, solid, and properly installed. We replace the doors and drawer fronts, resurface the visible portions of the box, and update the hardware. The result looks like a new kitchen at a fraction of the full replacement cost. We assess the existing cabinet condition honestly at the estimate and tell you whether refacing makes sense or whether the boxes themselves need to be replaced.
Do you build bathroom vanity cabinets to fit in older Smithtown homes with non-standard dimensions?
Yes. Older Smithtown homes often have bathroom dimensions that do not correspond to any standard vanity cabinet size. We build bathroom vanity cabinets to the exact dimensions of the space, which means using the full width available without awkward gaps at the wall or a too-small cabinet floating in the middle of the room. That is exactly what custom cabinetry is for.
What does cabinet painting involve and how is it different from cabinet refinishing?
Cabinet painting applies a new painted finish to existing cabinet doors and boxes. Cabinet refinishing is a broader process that may include stripping the existing finish, repairing surface damage, sanding, priming, and applying a new finish, whether paint or stain. The right approach depends on the current finish condition, the wood species, and what the homeowner wants the final result to look like. We assess the existing cabinets at the estimate and recommend the approach that produces the best result for the money.
Do you build garage cabinets in Smithtown that can handle winter temperature swings?
Yes. Garage cabinets in Smithtown deal with temperature extremes that interior cabinets do not, and we build them accordingly. The materials we use for garage cabinet work are selected for dimensional stability through the humidity and temperature cycling that an uninsulated garage produces through a Long Island winter and summer. We do not build garage cabinets the same way we build kitchen cabinets.
How long does a custom kitchen cabinet installation take in a Smithtown home?
It depends on the scope. A full kitchen with custom cabinets in a Smithtown home typically involves a design and build period before installation begins, and the installation itself can range from a few days for a smaller kitchen to a week or more for a larger one with a kitchen island, pantry cabinets, and complex storage configurations. We give you a realistic timeline at the estimate based on the specific project scope.
Do you offer floating shelves as a standalone service in Smithtown?
Yes. Floating shelves are something we install as a standalone project throughout Smithtown. We build them to the wall depth and width the space allows, finish them to match the surrounding millwork or paint, and anchor them properly into the wall framing so they hold real weight. We do not install decorative bracket shelving that looks good but fails under load
