St. Martin Cabinetry

St. Martin Cabinetry is a Cressona, Pennsylvania cabinet maker that builds framed inset and full-access cabinetry to order. If you are researching the brand before committing to a kitchen, the three questions that actually decide the outcome are which construction platform you are being quoted, which door style and finish combination you want, and who is going to detail the order. This page covers all three, and shows the St. Martin door styles we carry at Home Craft Studio.

What Home Craft Studio carries

We stock St. Martin Cabinetry across three collections - Classic, Luxury and Designer - in 10 door styles, each available in a range of finishes:

• Clayton - clean recessed-panel shaker, the most requested profile in the line
• Hampton and Hampton Square - shaker with a squared inner edge for a crisper shadow line
• Lakeland and Lakeland II - transitional panel profiles that read traditional in paint and modern in stain
• Bellrose - detailed traditional profile
• Greenfield - simplified traditional profile
• Newhaven - classic framed panel
• Ridgewood - raised-panel traditional
• Wellington - traditional panel with heavier framing

Browse the door styles below. Because St. Martin is made to order, the door style and finish you choose are specified per project rather than pulled from a fixed shelf stock, so pricing depends on your cabinet list, not on a single line item. Send us your layout through the kitchen price estimator or book an appointment and we will price the actual cabinet run.

Framed inset vs. full access: the choice that matters most

St. Martin builds on two construction platforms, and the difference is structural rather than cosmetic. Confirm which one your quote is written against before you compare it to any other brand.

Framed inset costs more to build and takes longer, because the door has to be fitted to the opening. Full access gives you more accessible interior space per cabinet for the same footprint. Neither is automatically better - it depends on the style you are after and how much storage the layout has to absorb. If you are still weighing whether to replace the boxes at all, our guide to cabinet refacing vs. replacing walks through when new cabinetry is worth it.

How St. Martin cabinets are built

These are the manufacturer-published specifications shared across both platforms. They are worth reading because they are the details that separate mid-range cabinetry from entry level, and they are the details most showrooms never put in writing.

• Doors: 7/8 in. solid wood frame with an HDF center panel. Drawer fronts match the doors.
• Drawer boxes: 3/4 in. solid birch, dovetailed, with a 3/8 in. plywood bottom. Dovetailed birch is the spec to look for - stapled or dowelled boxes are what fail first.
• Drawer slides: Blum undermount, full-extension, soft close.
• Hinges: Blum soft close.
• Shelves: 3/4 in. plywood with a solid maple edge, adjustable, on pocketed shelf clips that sit flush so shelves do not creep.
• Backs: 1/4 in. plywood with a maple melamine finish.
• Emissions: St. Martin states CARB2 compliance on its panel products.
• Warranty: St. Martin publishes a written warranty. Ask for the current copy with your quote, and read the section covering finish and natural wood variation.

Finishes: 16 painted, 17 stained, plus custom color

St. Martin publishes 16 painted colors and 17 stained finishes across its cabinetry collections. Painted colors are offered on paint-grade hardwood or paint-grade oak, which is the choice that decides whether you see grain through the paint.

Painted: Bright White, Simply White, Dove Gray, Repose Gray, Anew Gray, Upward, Simply Gray, Peppercorn, Sage Green, Forest Green, Pewter Green, Blue Slate, Midnight Blue, Ocean Blue, Iron Ore, Simply Black.

Stained: Sandstone Oak, Rift Cut White Oak, Dusk Gray Oak, Dark Brown Oak, Urban Oak, Onyx Oak, Carbon Black Oak, Weathered Walnut, Washed Walnut, Natural Walnut, Dark Brown Walnut, Driftwood Cherry, Pewter Cherry, Heather Cherry, Dark Brown Cherry, Onyx Cherry, Cashew.

St. Martin also runs a bespoke color program across its full custom collections, matching a color from its library onto premium hardwoods including walnut and white oak, using the same water-based brush and multi-stage sanding process as the standard palette.

The pairings St. Martin lists for 2026 are Simply White with Rift Cut White Oak, Simply White with Washed Walnut, Weathered Walnut with Simply White, and Dark Brown Oak with Simply White - all two-tone schemes rather than single-color kitchens. If you want a straightforward one-color painted kitchen, compare the line against our white kitchen cabinets and shaker kitchen cabinets ranges first.

How St. Martin compares to the other lines we carry

St. Martin sits at the made-to-order end of our range. If your priority is a shorter lead time and a lower entry price on a stocked shaker, Fabuwood or Forevermark (TSG Cabinetry) is usually the more practical answer, and our comparison of the cabinet brands we stock sets out where each one fits. Choose St. Martin when you want framed inset construction, a specific stained hardwood, a two-tone scheme, or a color that is not in anyone else’s standard palette. The full range we carry is listed in the kitchen cabinets guide.

Planning the rest of the kitchen

Cabinetry decisions cascade. A framed inset door changes the reveal at the countertop edge, and a two-tone scheme changes what the backsplash has to do. Plan them together rather than in sequence:

• Quartz countertops and the countertop buying guide
• Backsplash tile
• Kitchen sinks, which have to be specified before the countertop is templated
• Kitchen visualizer to test finish combinations before you commit

Stained hardwood and painted oak both look different in a room than on a screen, and a two-tone scheme is very hard to judge from photographs. Come and look at the doors:

St. Martin Cabinetry: frequently asked questions

Is St. Martin Cabinetry custom or semi-custom?

St. Martin builds to order rather than shipping from stock, and it runs a bespoke color program on its full custom collections. In practice most kitchens land between semi-custom and custom: standard door styles and finishes, specified and built for your layout. Ask which collection your quote is written against, because that determines how far the order can be modified.

What is the difference between Heritage and Vista?

Heritage is framed inset - the door sits inside a solid wood face frame, flush with it. Vista is full access, with no face frame, so the door overlays the box and you get more usable interior width. Heritage suits traditional and transitional kitchens; Vista suits contemporary kitchens and tight layouts that need every inch of storage.

Are St. Martin drawers and hinges good quality?

The published specification is 3/4 in. solid birch dovetailed drawer boxes on Blum undermount full-extension soft-close slides, with Blum soft-close hinges. Dovetailed birch boxes and Blum hardware are what you want to see on a mid-range or better cabinet; they are the components that decide whether the kitchen still feels solid in ten years.

How much do St. Martin cabinets cost?

There is no meaningful per-door price for a made-to-order line, because the total depends on your cabinet count, door style, finish, construction platform and any modifications. Send your measurements through the kitchen price estimator and we will quote the actual cabinet list rather than a headline figure.

How long does a St. Martin order take?

Made-to-order cabinetry takes longer than stocked lines, and framed inset takes longer than full access because each door is fitted to its opening. Lead times move with the factory schedule, so ask us for the current lead time when you get your quote rather than relying on a number you read online.

Which door style should I choose?

If you want the safest long-term choice, Clayton or Hampton - a clean shaker profile dates more slowly than a detailed raised panel and is easier to pair with either quartz or a patterned backsplash. Choose Ridgewood, Bellrose or Wellington when the rest of the house is genuinely traditional and a flat shaker would look under-detailed.

Does Home Craft Studio do cabinet refacing?

No. We supply and install new cabinetry, countertops, tile and bath products. If you are trying to decide between refacing your existing boxes and replacing them, our refacing vs. replacing guide gives you the framework without a refacing sales pitch attached.
