A mudroom is the hardest-working room in a Portland house. It takes the rain, the boots, the backpacks, the dog leash, and the “where are my keys” panic — every single day, twice a day, October through May. A well-built mudroom doesn’t just look good. It ends the argument about whose shoes are in the hallway.
Here’s what custom mudroom cabinetry actually costs in Portland in 2026, and what moves the number.
The short answer
Most custom mudrooms we build in the Portland area land between $3,500 and $12,000, installed. A simple bench-and-hooks wall sits at the low end. A full locker wall with tall storage, drawers, and a finished look lands at the top.
What drives the price
Size of the wall. The single biggest factor is linear feet. A 4-foot bench nook is a different project than a 12-foot locker wall.
Lockers vs. open. Individual locker compartments with dividers cost more than an open bench with hooks — more material, more labor, more hardware.
Drawers and doors. Every drawer box and door front adds cost. Open cubbies are the budget-friendly choice; closed storage is the tidy-looking one.
Material and finish. Painted maple is the most popular choice and the best value. Stained hardwoods like white oak or walnut cost more — and look like it.
What a typical project looks like
A common Portland mudroom: an 8-foot wall with a bench, four locker compartments above, hooks, and shoe storage below. Painted finish. That usually lands around $6,000–$8,000, designed, built, finished, and installed by our crew.
Why custom instead of prefab
Prefab locker units come in fixed widths. Portland mudrooms don’t — they’re the leftover space by the garage door, the odd nook off the kitchen, the wall that’s 7 feet 4 inches wide. Custom means it fits the wall exactly, matches your trim, and holds the specific chaos your family generates.
How long it takes
Our standard lead time is 4–6 weeks from approved drawings to installation, and most mudrooms install in a day or two.
