- Custom hoods
Handcrafted. Built to Last.
Montana Pines has been designing, building and installing custom cabinetry for Yellowstone County homes since 2011 — kitchens, baths, laundry rooms, built‑ins and the storage that makes them work.
Why Montana Pines
Cabinets are the one thing in a house you touch every single day.
So they get built like it. Solid hardwood face frames and doors, plywood boxes, full‑extension soft‑close hardware, and a finish that still looks right after a decade of coffee mugs and wet hands.
You work directly with the person who will build them. No design department, no call center, no order that disappears into a factory queue two states away. One shop, one crew, one number to call.
What we build
Full rooms or a single piece. If it stores something, hides something or holds a countertop up, it can be built.
Full kitchen design through install: perimeter runs, islands and peninsulas, tall pantries, panel‑ready appliance surrounds, hoods and toe‑kick details drawn to your appliances, not to a catalog.
Single and double vanities, linen towers, medicine and mirror cabinets, floating vanities, and drawer banks built around the plumbing instead of fighting it.
Folding counters, pedestal bases, hanging rods, drying cabinets, lockers and boot benches. The rooms that get used hardest and designed last.
Entertainment walls, bookcases, window seats, wet bars, mantels and office built‑ins — scribed to the walls of your actual house, which are never square.
Roll‑out shelves, tiered spice pull‑outs, trash and recycling drawers, tray dividers, drawer inserts and blind‑corner solutions. Retrofit into existing cabinets too.
Countertops templated and installed with the cabinets so the seams land where they should. Plus sliding barn doors, floating shelves, trim and case work to match.
Selected work
Real rooms, real houses, photographed on the day of install. Tap any photo to open it larger.
Door studio
Five of the most common door profiles built in the shop, in six finishes pulled from real projects. It's a sketch, not a sample — real doors get looked at in person, in your light.
How a project runs
Nothing gets cut until you've signed off on a drawing with real dimensions on it.
We come to the house, listen to how you actually use the room, and take field measurements ourselves. No cost, no obligation.
You get an elevation drawing and an itemized quote — box construction, door style, hardware, finish, and what's included at install.
Samples in hand, in your own lighting. Wood species, stain or paint, hardware and interior accessories all get locked before anything is ordered.
Boxes, faces, doors and drawers are built and finished for your job. We re‑measure the site before final sizing so the cabinets fit the house as built.
Set, shimmed, scribed and adjusted. Countertop templating is coordinated so it lands right after. Then we walk it with you and fix the small stuff.
Materials & construction
Two ways to build a cabinet box. Neither is wrong — they just do different things. Here's the honest comparison.
| Face frame | Frameless (Euro) | |
|---|---|---|
| Look | Visible hardwood frame around each opening. Traditional, and the only way to get true inset doors. | Door covers the whole box edge. Flush, contemporary, tight reveals. |
| Access | Frame stiles narrow the opening slightly. | Full width of the box — noticeably more usable drawer space. |
| Strength | Frame adds rigidity; forgiving on out‑of‑square walls. | Relies on thicker box material; very rigid when built right. |
| Best for | Painted inset, beaded detail, traditional and transitional homes. | Slab and flat‑panel doors, maximum storage, modern kitchens. |
Species we work in
Boxes are built from plywood rather than particleboard. Drawers ride full‑extension soft‑close slides, doors on concealed soft‑close hinges, and every hinge gets adjusted on site at install.
Budget planner
Cabinetry pricing is driven by linear feet, box construction, door profile and finish. Move the sliders to see a planning range for a project like yours.
Measure along the wall, floor cabinets and uppers counted once. A typical Billings kitchen runs 18–28 feet.
The shop
Montana Pines has been building cabinets in Billings since 2011.
The idea behind it is simple enough: a homeowner should be able to talk to the person building their cabinets. Not a showroom rep, not a design consultant working off a tablet, and not a factory in another state. The same set of hands that measures your kitchen should be the ones that hang the doors.
Fifteen years on, that hasn't changed — and neither has the appetite for the awkward jobs. The 1940s kitchen where nothing is plumb. The laundry room squeezed under a stair. The entertainment wall that has to work around a window nobody wants to move. Those are the ones worth building.
There's flexibility in it too. A full custom build in knotty alder is exactly what the shop is for. But when the layout is conventional and the priority is a tighter budget or a shorter lead time, Montana Pines is a Bellmont Cabinets dealer — semi‑custom lines specified, ordered and installed by the same crew, held to the same standard for how it goes in.
Either way, you get one number to call, and the person who answers it knows your kitchen.
Service area
Based in Billings, working throughout Yellowstone County and the surrounding communities. Farther out is worth a phone call — it usually depends on the size of the job.
Questions
Cabinetry is priced by the linear foot, and the range is wide because the choices are wide. Box construction, door profile, wood species, finish and interior accessories each move the number. The budget planner above will put you in the right neighborhood.
The honest answer is that nobody can quote your kitchen from a photo. A site measure is free, takes about an hour, and produces a real itemized number.
Yes. Countertops are supplied and installed alongside the cabinetry, with templating coordinated after the boxes are set so seams and overhangs land where they should. Handling both means there's no finger‑pointing between two trades when something needs adjusting.
Custom is the answer when the space is unusual, when you want a specific species or finish, or when standard sizes would waste real square footage. It's built for your walls.
Semi‑custom through the Bellmont line is the answer when the layout is conventional and the priority is a shorter lead time or a tighter budget. Both get designed, ordered and installed by the same shop.
Often, yes — an added island, a pantry, a bar, or a laundry run that has to live next to an existing kitchen. Matching an aged finish exactly is the hard part and it's worth being realistic about it up front. Bring a door or a drawer front to the conversation.
No. Most work is remodels and single‑room projects in homes people already live in — one kitchen, one bath, one laundry room, one built‑in. New construction and builder work are welcome too.
Design and drawings usually move quickly. The long pole is the build and finish schedule, which depends on what's already in the queue and on material lead times for anything ordered in. You'll get a real date range with your quote, before you commit — not after.
Yes. Builder and remodeler work is a steady part of the schedule — drawings, allowances, lead times and staged deliveries all get handled the way a job site needs them. Call the shop to talk through a project schedule.
