There are a number of different types of kitchen cabinets in San Antonio and they vary in construction and quality. There are four basic types of cabinets:
   * The base unit: These units are standardized, they are typically 24 inches off the wall and 36 inches off the floor. Custom designed and manufactured base units are available but rarely do they deviate much from these tried and proven standards.

   * The wall unit: Because an excessively deep wall unit would easily interfere with working on the counter the depth is normally kept to 12 inches.

* Tall units: Tall cabinets are very popular as broom closets and pantries. They are typically 83 ½ inches high.

Base, wall and tall cabinets are standards; specialty units are available for unique design and installation parameters. Corner cabinets, bottle racks, hutches etc are all popular but their use depends on the size and layout of the kitchen.

Cabinet grades:

Cabinets in San Antonio are available in different grades; the choice is normally based on budget and options. The least expensive cabinets are those which can be purchased boxed from most DIY stores, the choices are limited and the long term durability is questionable. Stock cabinets are assembled on site using modular components; they are available in a range of prices, features and materials. Stock cabinets offer attractive styles without having to sacrifice quality.

The majority of homeowners that are remodeling their kitchen tend to favor semi-custom or full custom units. These higher grade cabinets are better made and use better materials. Semi-custom cabinets are well thought out, there are numerous manufacturers producing a wide range of designs including custom doors and hardware.

At the very high end are fully custom made cabinets in San Antonio. As the name implies, these are custom designed and manufactured and offer the ultimate in diversity and quality.
