Call For Custom Cabinetry
Custom kitchen and bathroom cabinets, built-ins and fine woodworking designed around your space, your style and the way you use your home.
Chicago homes rarely come in one standard shape or layout—and your cabinetry should not either. City Millwork creates custom cabinetry for homeowners and projects throughout Chicago, with designs developed specifically around the dimensions, storage requirements and character of each space.
From custom kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities to entertainment centers, home offices, bars, libraries and specialty built-ins, each project begins with the room itself rather than a predetermined set of cabinet sizes. That gives you greater control over proportions, configuration, materials, finishes and the way every inch of available space is used.
Whether you’re improving the kitchen in a classic Chicago bungalow, adding storage to a city condo or coordinating cabinetry throughout a larger renovation, City Millwork can create a solution that balances practical storage with thoughtful woodworking.
City Millwork is located in Melrose Park, IL, and has served residential and commercial customers throughout the greater Chicago area since 2010.
A kitchen works better when the cabinetry is designed around the room instead of forcing the room to accommodate standard cabinet sizes.
City Millwork builds custom kitchen cabinets for Chicago homes based on the actual dimensions, layout and storage requirements of the kitchen. Custom configurations can make better use of corners, unusual wall lengths, ceiling height and areas where standard cabinetry may leave valuable space unused.
Choose the cabinet style, materials, finish, storage configuration and overall appearance that complement your kitchen and the way you use it.
Bathrooms frequently require cabinetry to work around plumbing, fixtures, doors and limited floor area. Made-to-order cabinetry allows those limitations to become part of the design.
City Millwork creates custom bathroom cabinets and vanities from scratch, allowing dimensions and storage to be tailored to the room. Designs can include vanities, tall storage cabinets, narrow cabinets, shelving and other configurations for both compact and larger bathrooms.
Cabinetry doesn’t need to stop at the kitchen or bathroom. Custom woodworking can turn unused wall space, alcoves and entire rooms into more functional parts of the home.
City Millwork’s woodworking services include office and TV cabinetry, closets, bars, wine rooms, studies, libraries, laundry cabinetry, cabinet organizers, mantels, coffered ceilings and other custom-built features.

For many Chicago homeowners, the kitchen presents a design challenge before cabinet selection even begins. Walls may not line up with standard cabinet widths. Older homes can contain distinctive architectural details. Condos may require significantly more storage without increasing the footprint of the room.
That is where custom kitchen cabinetry becomes especially valuable.
Instead of selecting from a limited series of predetermined dimensions, cabinets can be designed for the space available. Upper cabinetry can take advantage of additional wall height. Narrow areas can become useful storage. Pantry cabinetry can be designed around the household’s needs, while islands can combine preparation space, drawers, seating and additional storage.
Custom cabinetry also gives you considerably more freedom over appearance. Materials, cabinet style and finishes can be selected to create anything from a warm traditional kitchen to a clean contemporary interior. City Millwork’s cabinetry is built to order and designed around the customer’s specifications rather than assembled from a standard cabinet system.
For a full kitchen renovation, cabinetry can also be planned as one coordinated composition—balancing wall cabinets, base cabinets, appliance locations, pantry storage and an island rather than treating each cabinet as an independent piece.
The result is a kitchen that feels intentional because the cabinetry was created for that kitchen from the beginning.

Chicago’s wide variety of residential architecture is one reason a truly custom approach to cabinetry can make such a difference.
A kitchen in a bungalow may have completely different proportions and challenges from one in a high-rise condo. A two-flat renovation may require working around an existing layout, while a contemporary home may call for cleaner lines, integrated storage and cabinetry that extends across multiple rooms.
