Serving Elgin and nearby communities.
A lot of homes in Elgin were built before anyone thought about a dedicated drop zone for boots, backpacks, and laundry baskets. Elgin Custom Cabinets builds mudroom and laundry cabinetry to fit whatever space you've got. A back entry. A laundry closet. A narrow hallway. Wherever it lands, the mess finally has a place to go.
We build these cabinets to handle daily traffic and the moisture that comes with a working laundry room, not just look good on install day. Most of the homes we work in around Elgin were built decades before anyone poured a slab specifically for a mudroom, so the cabinetry has to adapt to the house rather than the other way around.

Materials
Materials and Methods for Mudroom and Laundry Cabinetry
These boxes sit near a washing machine or a back door that gets left open on muggy days. We lean on materials that shrug off moisture rather than swell or peel.
Durable Laminate Panels
Panels chosen for their resistance to scuffs and moisture, which matters near a washer that runs most days of the week.
Built-In Hampers
Integrated storage designed to organize laundry efficiently.
Cubby Dividers
Dividers used to separate storage for shoes, bags, and coats.
Moisture-Resistant Finish
A protective coating suited for high-moisture environments.
Hook Hardware
Hooks installed for hanging coats, bags, and accessories.
Custom Bench Seating
A built-in bench added for convenience and additional storage.

What does a Mudroom and Laundry Cabinetry cost in Elgin?
Pricing depends mostly on square footage of cabinet run, cubby count, and whether you add a bench or upper cabinets. Here's a rough range to plan around before we measure your space. Every job gets a written estimate after we see the space in person. Call or request a free estimate and we'll give you real numbers for your layout.
| Project type | Typical range | What’s included |
|---|---|---|
| Basic cubby wall | $1,800–$3,500, | open cubbies, hooks, and a laminate finish, no doors or bench. |
| Laundry cabinet run | $2,500–$5,500, | base and upper cabinets sized around your washer and dryer. |
| Full mudroom build | $4,000–$8,500, | cubbies, bench seating, built-in hamper, and matching finish throughout. |
These are typical local ballparks — final cost depends on scope, materials, and site conditions. A free estimate gives you an accurate, itemized number for your home.

DIY vs Hiring a Pro for Mudroom and Laundry Cabinetry
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Fine for a simple hook rail or a single open shelf | Worth it when the space is an odd shape or shares a wall with plumbing |
| Flat-pack cubby kits work if your space is a standard width | A built-in bench or hamper needs accurate measuring to avoid gaps |
| Saves money on small, low-traffic entry spots | Moisture-resistant materials and finish hold up longer near a washer than box-store laminate |

Mudroom and Laundry Cabinetry FAQs
How much does mudroom and laundry cabinetry cost in Elgin?
Most jobs run $1,800 to $8,500 depending on size and whether you add a bench or built-in hamper. A written estimate after we measure gives you an exact number.
How long does a mudroom cabinet build take?
Plan on 2-3 weeks from design approval to installed cabinets, with install itself usually done in a day.
Do I need a permit for mudroom cabinetry?
Not for the cabinets themselves. A permit comes into play only if you're adding an outlet or moving a washer hookup.
Is DIY mudroom cabinetry a good idea?
A simple hook rail or shelf is fine to DIY. Anything with a bench, hamper, or odd wall shape goes smoother with a pro measuring first.
When should I call a pro for this?
Call when your entry or laundry space has no real storage system, or when existing shelving isn't holding up to daily use.
What affects the price most?
Cabinet run length, whether you add a bench or hamper, and finish choice are the biggest cost drivers.
What's typically included?
Cabinet boxes, cubby dividers, hooks, and a laminate finish sized to your space. Bench seating and upper cabinets are optional add-ons.
How do I prepare for installation?
Clear the area of existing furniture or shelving and point out any outlets or plumbing lines near the install zone.
