Why El Cajon homeowners choose 5 IN 1 for cabinets
Cabinets in 6 El Cajon neighborhoods
El Cajon is East County — hotter, drier, and built largely in the 1950s through 1980s. The housing stock is heavy on ranch homes and single-story builds with shake or tile roofs and stucco exteriors. Costs typically run slightly below the coastal cities for labor and permit fees, which we pass through to the client.
We have remodeled El Cajon homes since 1987. The Carrasco family runs every job site, the same in-house crew handles your project from rough-in to final walk, and we pull every permit in your name.

Cabinets in El Cajon: frequently asked questions
How much do kitchen cabinets cost in El Cajon?+
Stock cabinets in El Cajon run $5,000 to $10,000 for a typical kitchen. Semi-custom runs $10,000 to $18,000. Fully custom is $18,000 to $40,000+. Refacing is usually $4,000 to $9,000 if the existing boxes are good.
Stock vs semi-custom vs custom — which should I get?+
Stock cabinets come in fixed sizes and finishes — great for budget builds. Semi-custom lets you pick sizes, colors, and door styles from a catalog. Fully custom is built for your space from scratch, ideal for non-standard layouts or specific design needs.
How long until they arrive?+
Stock cabinets are usually 1 to 2 weeks. Semi-custom is 4 to 6 weeks. Fully custom is 6 to 10 weeks. We order at the start of the project so they are ready when we need them.
Can I just replace the doors?+
Yes — that is refacing. If your cabinet boxes are structurally solid, we can swap doors, drawer fronts, and hardware and you get a brand-new look for half the cost of a replace.
What cabinet styles are popular in El Cajon right now?+
In El Cajon, white shaker is still the most common request. Two-tone (white uppers, navy or sage lowers) is the second-most. Slab-front in rift-cut white oak is trending for modern homes.
