The Problem

Some spaces are too useful to waste.

Hallways, alcoves and odd gaps can do more than collect clutter or hold furniture that never quite fits.

  • Dead hallway walls
  • Awkward alcoves
  • Wasted gaps
  • Spaces where freestanding furniture looks temporary
  • Storage that needs to look built-in, not added later
  • Everyday clutter needing a proper home
  • Practical storage without making rooms feel smaller

Cost Factors

The focus is practical custom storage, with the scope made clear before the job starts.

  • Storage layout
  • Cabinet hardware
  • Shelving, drawers and cabinet internals
  • Scribing and fitting cabinetry to the space where included in the quote

Other trades such as electrical, flooring, painting, wall repairs or building work can be discussed, but they are not automatically included unless clearly listed in the scope.

FAQ

Built-in storage questions.

Do I need exact measurements before getting in touch?

No. Rough dimensions and a few photos are enough to start. Exact measurements come later during measure-up.

Can I get a ballpark from photos?

Usually, yes. Photos are not a final quote, but they are enough to see whether the job looks like a fit.

Can you build into awkward spaces?

Yes. Custom cabinetry is often best for odd gaps, hallway spaces, alcoves and areas where standard furniture does not fit properly.

Can you make it look like it belongs in the room?

That is the goal. The cabinetry is designed around the space so it feels intentional, not like furniture pushed against a wall.

Do you do one-off shelves?

Cabinet Ninja is best suited to proper built-in cabinetry and storage projects, not small one-off shelf jobs.

Are painting, flooring or wall repairs included?

Not automatically. If extra finishing work is needed, it will be discussed and clearly listed in the quote scope.

Do you install the cabinetry?

Yes. Cabinet Ninja designs, builds and installs the cabinetry.

What areas do you service?

Rotorua, Taupō, Tokoroa, Atiamuri, Reporoa, South Waikato and surrounding areas.

Send Photos

Got a space that should be doing more?

Send a wide photo of the space, rough dimensions, your town/suburb and what you need to store.

Include the full wall or gap if you can. Photos are for the first ballpark, not the final quote.
