Hand Crafted Cabinets
Custom kitchen and bath cabinetry from a Martin Avenue shop in Santa Clara owned by Antonio Chavez.
Acerca de
Stock cabinets come off a factory line in fixed widths; a cabinet shop builds boxes to fit the room instead. Hand Crafted Cabinets, owned by Antonio Chavez, is listed in that trade at 1001 Martin Avenue, a street of workshops and light industry on the east side of Santa Clara, not far from the airport. This listing was assembled from public business records and directory entries, and the owner has not yet reviewed it. The import data files the name backwards, as Cabinets Hand Crafted; every other listing uses the order shown here.
What a cabinet shop usually builds
Directory listings describe the business as a kitchen and bath cabinet maker that also does finish carpentry, vanities, countertop installation and remodeling. A shop of this kind in Santa Clara typically measures the room, draws the layout, builds face-frame or frameless boxes in its own workshop, then hangs doors, fits drawers and sets hardware on site. Refacing, built-in bookcases, closet systems and media walls are common side jobs, and many shops coordinate with the countertop fabricator so the stone is templated as soon as the boxes are level.
Planning a cabinet project
Bring measurements, photos of the room and a rough budget to the first conversation, and ask to see finished work. Find out what the boxes are made of, whether plywood, particleboard or solid wood, how the finish is applied, and which hinges and drawer slides come standard. A written contract should fix the build lead time, the install date and a payment schedule tied to delivery and installation. Installation beyond small jobs requires a California contractor's license, and cabinet and millwork has its own C-6 classification, so look the business up at cslb.ca.gov before you sign. If plumbing or wiring moves, settle who handles the permit.
Where the shop works
From Martin Avenue the shop sits centrally for San Jose, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Campbell, Milpitas, Mountain View and Saratoga, and for the rest of Santa Clara County.
The number on file is 408-654-8965. Directory listings carry a second number as well, so confirm the current phone and the shop address before visiting. Antonio Chavez can claim this listing through the chamber to review and correct it.

Preguntas frecuentes
Típico de este tipo de negocioHow long does a custom cabinet job take?
Expect a few weeks for design and approval, several more for the shop to build and finish, and a few days to install. Lead times vary with the season and the shop's backlog, so get build and install dates in writing.
What separates custom, semi-custom and stock cabinets?
Stock cabinets come in fixed sizes and finishes; semi-custom lines allow some size and style changes; custom cabinets are built to the exact measurements of your room with your choice of wood, finish and hardware.
Do I need a permit for new cabinets?
Swapping cabinets alone usually does not need a permit in Santa Clara, but moving plumbing, gas lines or electrical outlets during a kitchen remodel does. Ask who is responsible for any permit before work starts.
Can old cabinets be refaced instead of replaced?
If the boxes are sound, refacing replaces doors, drawer fronts and exposed surfaces for less than new cabinetry. Ask the shop to inspect the boxes first; water damage or sagging shelves usually point to replacement.
