Custom Cabinets & Carpentry in Kirkland, WA

From waterfront homes near Lake Washington to downtown condos, Dilger Custom Cabinetry builds custom cabinets and carpentry for Kirkland, backed by a shop just up the road in Bothell.

Cabinetry For Kirkland, From The Waterfront To Downtown

Kirkland runs a wide range, and that shows up in the cabinetry work we do there. Along the Lake Washington waterfront near Marina Park, we’re usually updating kitchens in older homes that were never built with today’s appliances or storage expectations in mind. Closer to Kirkland Urban and downtown, the work shifts toward condos and townhomes where every inch of cabinet space has to earn its place. Further out in Juanita and Houghton, it’s often mid-century homes getting a full kitchen remodel for the first time since they were built.

That range is exactly why we design in person rather than off a floor plan. A waterfront kitchen renovation and a downtown condo built-in call for different materials, different storage strategies, and different installation logistics — and Kirkland has all three within a few miles of each other. We’ll walk your space, talk through what’s realistic for the layout you have, and build from there.

What We Build In Kirkland

  • Full kitchen cabinetry for mid-century homes in Juanita and Houghton
  • Space-efficient built-ins for downtown Kirkland condos and townhomes
  • Bathroom vanities and primary suite cabinetry
  • Built-in shelving and media walls near Bridle Trails and surrounding neighborhoods
  • Mudroom and entry carpentry for single-family homes

Space-Smart Cabinetry For Condos & Smaller Lots

Not every Kirkland project has room to spare. Downtown condos and townhomes near Kirkland Urban often need cabinetry designed around a much tighter footprint than a suburban kitchen — pull-out storage instead of a walk-in pantry, vertical cabinetry instead of wide runs of base cabinets. We treat that as a design problem to solve well, not a compromise, which usually means more custom joinery and planning up front, not less.

Updating Mid-Century Kitchens Without Losing The House’s Character

A lot of Kirkland’s housing stock in Juanita and Houghton dates back to the 1950s and 60s, and those homes usually have real character worth keeping — low-slung rooflines, original trim details, sometimes built-ins from the original construction that are worth matching rather than replacing outright. When we update a kitchen in one of these homes, we pay attention to that context: door and hardware styles that fit the era, cabinet proportions that match the room’s original scale, rather than dropping in whatever’s trending regardless of the house around it.

About Kirkland

Kirkland is a King County city of roughly 92,000 people on the eastern shore of Lake Washington, directly across the water from Seattle. It’s grown considerably from its industrial waterfront roots, and today mixes a walkable downtown art-and-restaurant scene with established residential neighborhoods like Juanita, Houghton, and the areas around Bridle Trails State Park — a mix that gives us projects ranging from historic home updates to new construction finish work.

How Far Is Kirkland From Our Bothell Shop?

Kirkland is roughly fifteen to twenty minutes from our Bothell location depending on the neighborhood and time of day, making it one of the more straightforward areas for us to reach for both the initial design visit and the install itself — even downtown Kirkland and the waterfront neighborhoods stay well within that range.
