Pantry & Storage
Handis kitchen pantry and storage is the carpentry-led storage build inside the kitchen — everything that is not the cabinet boxes themselves. From $400 for a single open shelf above the coffee maker to $6,000 for a coffee-bar built-in with countertop, open shelving, and a new GFCI outlet on a dedicated circuit. The walk-in pantry with two wire racks and a stack of cereal on the floor that should have proper adjustable shelving. The base cabinet beside the dishwasher that is six inches of dead air for everything stacked in front of it because there is no Lazy Susan. The blank wall beside the coffee maker that has held a plastic spice rack since 2017 when it should have a stained oak floating shelf. The dead space at the end of the run that fits a 28-inch-wide coffee bar but instead has a paper-towel holder. We build pantry shelving systems, install pull-out organizers and Lazy Susans inside existing cabinets, mount open shelving, and build coffee-bar and beverage-nook built-ins — stud-anchored or rated-toggle mounted on every install, every shelf level to a snapped reference, finish carpentry and color-matched paint included on every build.

Pantry & Storage Pricing
Final pricing depends on the storage type, shelf and pull-out count, material (hardwood vs paint-grade vs wire), wall type for the install, whether a coffee-bar build needs a new circuit, and whether the build is stock components or fully custom. Each sub-category page lists detailed pricing for that family. Licensed-electrician sub fees pass through transparently for coffee-bar builds with new GFCI or dedicated circuits.

Why Handis for Kitchen Pantry & Storage
A kitchen storage build pays back the moment every loose item finally has a home. The basket of granola bars stacked on the counter finally lives on a pull-out tray inside the pantry. The cans of soup that fall off the back of the corner cabinet every time you reach for one finally rotate on a Lazy Susan. The coffee setup that sprawls across two feet of counter finally lives on a built-in. After enough kitchen storage builds we know the stud spacing in a typical 1920s lath-and-plaster pantry wall vs a 1960s framed pantry vs a 1990s drywall pantry, which Rev-A-Shelf pull-outs actually fit a face-frame cabinet vs a frameless one, where to find a real GFCI receptacle on the wall behind the proposed coffee bar (almost never where you think), and how to scribe a coffee-bar end panel to the refrigerator without leaving a half-inch reveal. The build that fits the kitchen finishes clean and stays straight; the build that fights the kitchen reads as off in six months. We do the planning before the install.
Estimate
Tell us the kitchen, the wall location and material (drywall, tile, plaster), the storage type you want (pantry shelves, pull-outs, open shelves, coffee bar), the rough dimensions of the install zone, and any look preference (paint-grade or stain-grade, shaker or flat, finish color). A few phone photos of the kitchen and the install zone help us scope before quoting. We send a clear estimate.
Customer Reviews
Kitchen pantry and storage build reviews from real Handis customers.
Full walk-in pantry build in our 1962 Wedgwood kitchen. Adjustable wood shelving on side tracks, door-mounted wire racks for spices, pull-out wire baskets at the bottom for produce. Two days. Pantry finally holds what it should have held since the house was built. Cereal off the floor for the first time in nine years.
Six-cabinet pull-out retrofit across our 1992 Bellevue kitchen. Two double-tier Rev-A-Shelf pull-outs flanking the range, a Lazy Susan in the blind corner, a pull-out trash and recycling in the cabinet beside the dishwasher, and a pull-out spice rack on the cabinet beside the range. Day and a half. The kitchen finally works.
Three hidden-cleat floating shelves above the coffee maker in our 1929 Wallingford bungalow kitchen. Solid walnut, stained to match the existing baseboards. Hidden cleat stud-anchored, every shelf level to a snapped chalk line. The technician brought a longer toggle for the spans where the stud did not line up. Half a day for the install.
Coffee bar built-in at the end of the cabinet run in our 1996 Issaquah kitchen — 30-inch quartz countertop, three floating walnut shelves above for mugs and beans, a new GFCI outlet for the espresso machine on a dedicated 20-amp circuit, and a cavity for a 15-inch under-counter beverage fridge that arrived the next week. The electrician sub came in for the circuit and was named on the quote. Three days for the build.
Tall pantry cabinet retrofit in our 1985 Magnolia kitchen — adjustable wood shelves with pin support on side-mounted tracks, a tiered step shelf so I can finally see the cans behind the front row, and two pull-out wire baskets on the bottom. Half a day. The pantry feels twice as big without changing the footprint.
