Seffner is a compact community east of Tampa along Interstate 4. Apollo Beach Custom Cabinets helps Seffner homeowners with kitchens, baths and storage. This page covers what we plan for, and how to start.

Seffner facts

  • Seffner is a census-designated place in Hillsborough County, about 13 miles east of downtown Tampa. It covers 3.8 square miles.
  • The 2020 census counted 8,362 residents.
  • The post office opened in 1884, and the town is named for first postmaster Frederick P. Seffner.
  • It has six public parks, Lake Weeks and the Rodney Colson Sports Complex.
  • The census listed 3,104 housing units.

A busy, active place

With six parks and a sports complex in a small area, many households likely spend time outside. That can mean cleats, balls, water bottles and uniforms coming home every day. The house needs a plan to catch them.

A drop zone by the door

Set up a bench with cubbies, hooks and a shelf for bags. A closed cabinet hides the gear, so the entry stays calm. In a garage, a few sturdy garage cabinets add a home for balls, helmets and pumps. Our guide to garage cabinet planning lists what to include.

A kitchen that feeds a team

Post-practice snacks happen fast. Put plates and cups in a low drawer, snacks in a pull-out pantry and a big water jug spot near the fridge. Our kitchen storage cabinets are built for traffic like this.

Small footprint, big needs

Whatever the size of your home, a small kitchen can still work well. Use tall cabinets, corner pull-outs and drawers for pots. Read about small kitchen cabinets and the ideas in small kitchen cabinet ideas for more storage.

Laundry and bath

A laundry nook with cabinets overhead and a folding shelf saves time. In the bath, a vanity with drawers gives each person a place for their items. Choose moisture-resistant boards.

Replacing water-damaged cabinets

Summer storms and humid air can swell cabinet bases, especially under sinks. If the wood is soft or the finish is lifting, the box has taken on water. We can replace those parts, then use kitchen cabinet installation for a full job if needed.

Style choices

See how door styles feel in our post on modern versus traditional cabinet doors.

Make a plan for rentals and flips

If you own a rental or plan to sell, choose cabinets that wipe clean and take wear. Neutral colors suit most renters and buyers. Sturdy hinges and drawer slides save you service calls. Simple door styles stay fresh longer than trendy ones. Ask us about durable finishes that handle heavy daily use.

Storage that grows with kids

Young children need low drawers and safe locks. Older kids need space for shoes, backpacks and school projects. Adjustable shelves and moveable dividers let the same cabinet serve both stages. Plan one flexible wall, and you avoid redoing it in five years.

Picnic and park-day storage

Seffner has several parks nearby, so picnics are easy. Keep a cabinet or a tall basket for blankets, coolers and plates. A drawer with reusable bags and wipes saves a last-minute hunt before you leave the house.

Floors that are not level

Many Florida homes sit on slab floors that settle over time. An uneven floor can throw off cabinets. We check the floor with a level, then shim and scribe the cabinets so the doors line up. It is a small step that makes drawers glide and doors close well.

Closets and storage rooms

Custom closets turn a dead closet into a place that fits more clothing and shoes.

Measure twice, order once

Cabinet orders are hard to undo. We measure the room at your visit, then check the numbers again before anything is built. We confirm wall lengths, window heights, ceiling heights and appliance sizes against the drawings. A mistake of half an inch can mean a gap or a door that will not open, so this step is worth the time.

Nearby places

We also serve Mango, Thonotosassa and Valrico.

Seffner questions

Can you fit new cabinets into a small kitchen?

Yes. We design for the room you have and use tall and deep storage to gain space.

What should I do about swollen cabinet bases?

Fix the leak first. Then replace the damaged parts with moisture-resistant boxes.

Do you work with landlords or property managers?

Yes. We can plan durable, easy-to-clean cabinets for rental properties.
