At Serenity Custom Woodworking, we specialize in custom kitchen cabinets in Des Moines for homeowners and builders who want cabinetry that fits their space, their style, and the way they live. Whether you’re building a new home or updating an existing kitchen, our focus is simple: design and build high-quality custom cabinetry that becomes the foundation of a great kitchen.

We do not offer full kitchen remodels. Instead, we focus exclusively on the cabinetry and woodworking portion of the project, working alongside homeowners, builders, and designers to deliver cabinets that are functional, durable, and thoughtfully designed.

Custom Kitchen Cabinets for New Construction and Kitchen Remodels

Kitchen cabinetry plays a major role in how a kitchen looks, functions, and feels on a daily basis. In new construction, cabinets help define the layout and overall design of the space. In kitchen remodels, new cabinetry can dramatically improve storage, organization, and flow without changing the entire footprint of the room.

Our custom kitchen cabinet services in Des Moines include:

  • Custom cabinets for new home construction
  • Cabinetry for kitchen remodel projects
  • Custom kitchen islands and specialty storage
  • Cabinet solutions designed to work with your existing layout


Because everything is built specifically for your project, you are never limited by stock cabinet sizes, pre-set layouts, or generic finishes.

Why Choose Custom Kitchen Cabinets Instead of Stock Cabinets?

Stock cabinets are designed to fit as many homes as possible. Custom cabinets are designed to fit your home.

When you choose custom kitchen cabinets, you gain flexibility that stock and semi-custom options simply cannot provide. Cabinets are built to the exact dimensions of your kitchen, allowing for better use of space, improved storage, and a more refined final result.

Custom cabinetry allows for:

  • Better use of corners, walls, and awkward spaces
  • Cabinet sizes that match your kitchen layout exactly
  • Greater control over materials, finishes, and hardware
  • Long-term durability built for daily use


In Des Moines homes, where layouts, ages, and styles vary widely, custom cabinets offer a level of precision and personalization that off-the-shelf options cannot match.

Our Custom Cabinet Design and Build Process

We believe the process should be collaborative, transparent, and efficient.

Every project begins with an on-site meeting where we discuss your kitchen, your goals, and how the space will be used. We take the time to understand what matters most to you, whether that is storage, layout, aesthetics, or a combination of all three.

From there, we move into the design phase, working through layout, cabinet configuration, door styles, finishes, and hardware. We refine the design together until everything feels right.

Once the design is finalized, your cabinets are built with care and precision using quality materials and modern equipment. Installation is handled with close attention to fit and finish, because the details are what separate good cabinetry from great cabinetry.

Quality Materials and Craftsmanship You Can See

Serenity Custom Woodworking is a family-run business with deep roots in craftsmanship and attention to detail. Every cabinet we build reflects our commitment to quality materials and thoughtful construction.

Features commonly included in our custom kitchen cabinets:

  • Shaker and inset door styles

  • Soft-close hinges and full-extension drawer slides

  • Paint and stain finishes selected for durability and appearance

  • Custom sizing for islands, pantries, and specialty storage

We continuously evaluate materials and finishing methods to ensure our cabinetry performs well and holds up to real-world use.

Working With Homeowners, Builders, and Designers

We regularly partner with homeowners planning kitchen updates, builders constructing new homes, and designers coordinating full kitchen layouts. Clear communication and collaboration are central to how we work.

If your project involves a builder or designer, we integrate seamlessly into the process, ensuring cabinetry timelines, specifications, and installation align with the larger project.
