Custom Millwork · San Diego
Cabinetry and millwork, done right the first time.
We design, build, finish, and install custom casework for hotels, restaurants, and homes — handled by one crew, from the first shop drawing to the final walkthrough.
Capabilities
One shop for the whole job
Design, engineering, fabrication, finishing, and installation — under one roof, so nothing gets lost between trades.
Custom Cabinetry
Kitchens, baths, offices, and retail — frameless or face-frame, built to your drawings and scribed to your space.
Architectural Millwork
Paneling, trim, reception desks, feature walls, and bars that set the tone the moment someone walks in.
Shop Drawings & Engineering
Every job starts on paper. We detail and engineer each piece for approval before a single board gets cut.
Finishing
In-house stain, lacquer, and conversion-varnish finishes, specified for how hard the room actually gets used.
Delivery & Installation
Our own crew sets, scribes, and fits everything on site — no handoff to a subcontractor who never saw the shop.
Commercial & Hospitality
Hotels, restaurants, and bars where the millwork takes a beating and still has to look the part every night.

About the Shop
One shop, from drawing to install
Sphinx Cabinets is a custom cabinet and architectural millwork shop based in San Diego, with work up and down the coast and as far out as Austin.
You've probably seen our work without knowing it — the bar and back-bar at the Fairmont in Austin, the dining room at Catch LA, and the lobby and themed millwork for Hotel Margaritaville and the LandShark Bar & Grill on the San Diego waterfront.
Every project runs through the same hands. We draw it, engineer it, cut it, finish it, and install it ourselves — so the piece that shows up on site is the piece we promised, fitted to the room it lives in.
— Shop drawings before sawdust
— Built and installed by one crew
— Finishes chosen for how the room gets used
