About Long Beach Expert Custom Cabinets
Established in 2003, Long Beach Expert Custom was founded by a master woodworker and an interior designer. After witnessing numerous mass-produced, poorly constructed cabinets throughout their careers, they combined their expertise to create a cabinet company based on principles of quality craftsmanship, design excellence, and personalized service. What began as a small workshop focusing on kitchen renovations has grown into Long Beach's most trusted full-service cabinet design and manufacturing company, with specialized divisions for residential, commercial, and custom furniture projects.
Our leadership team contributes over 35 years of combined experience in fine woodworking, interior design, and architectural millwork. They hold certifications from the Cabinet Makers Association and have trained with master craftsmen in both traditional and contemporary techniques. Our background in interior design ensures every project balances aesthetic beauty with practical functionality. This powerful combination of technical expertise and design excellence ensures every cabinet we create enhances both the form and function of your Long Beach property.
Our workshop and showroom facility are located in central Long Beach, allowing us to provide personalized service throughout the city and surrounding communities. We utilize state-of-the-art CNC machinery alongside traditional woodworking tools, combining technological precision with handcrafted attention to detail. Our facility includes a finishing department where we apply environmentally friendly, durable finishes that withstand Southern California's coastal climate. We are proud members of the Long Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, the National Kitchen and Bath Association, and the Architectural Woodwork Institute.

Superior Craftsmanship
Our installation and construction techniques exceed industry standards, providing Long Beach homeowners with cabinetry built to last generations. All our craftsmen have completed extensive training and apprenticeships, ensuring proper construction techniques and attention to detail on every project. We implement traditional joinery methods including dovetail drawers, mortise and tenon construction, and dado joints that provide superior strength and durability compared to mass-produced alternatives.
Our meticulous focus on critical details including hardware installation, door alignment, and finish quality ensures flawless functionality and appearance. We follow multi-point inspection protocols during and after construction to verify quality at every stage of the process. Our specialized techniques enable successful installation in challenging spaces including older homes with irregular walls, historic properties with unique architectural features, and modern spaces with complex design requirements.
We maintain a commitment to continuous improvement, regularly updating our skills and techniques to incorporate advances in materials, hardware, and construction methods. Our superior craftsmanship is evident not only in the appearance of our cabinetry but in its functionality and longevity, providing exceptional value for your investment in your Long Beach property.
Quality Materials
We use only premium materials from trusted suppliers, ensuring your Long Beach home or business receives cabinetry built to last generations. Our hardwoods are carefully selected and kiln-dried to the optimal moisture content for Southern California's climate, preventing warping and movement after installation. We utilize furniture-grade plywood for cabinet boxes rather than particleboard, providing superior strength, screw-holding ability, and moisture resistance.
Our drawer boxes feature solid hardwood construction with dovetail joinery, creating drawers that withstand decades of daily use without failing. We install premium, soft-close hardware from respected manufacturers including Blum, Grass, and Hafele, ensuring smooth, quiet operation for the life of your cabinets. Our hinges, slides, and organizational accessories feature lifetime warranties, reflecting their exceptional quality and durability.
We apply environmentally friendly, catalyzed conversion varnishes and premium paints that create a beautiful, durable finish while maintaining healthy indoor air quality. Our commitment to quality materials extends to every component from the visible surfaces to the hidden structural elements, ensuring consistent performance throughout your cabinetry. This investment in superior materials provides exceptional long-term value, with cabinetry that maintains its beauty and functionality far longer than mass-produced alternatives.

We prioritize clear communication and customer satisfaction throughout the cabinetry process, from initial consultation to final installation. Our comprehensive, transparent estimates include detailed line-item pricing with no hidden costs, allowing you to budget with confidence for your cabinetry project. We assign a dedicated project manager to every job, providing you with a single point of contact throughout the process for clear, consistent communication.

Our customer-focused approach has resulted in our exceptional reputation throughout Long Beach, with over 80% of our business coming from repeat clients and referrals. We believe that superior service is as important as superior craftsmanship, creating an experience that's as rewarding as the beautiful cabinetry that results from our collaboration.
