Custom Roll-Out Shelves for Westminster Homes

A deep pull-out pantry built for a tight space — works in both older and newer Westminster homes.

Westminster’s a mix — you’ve got the older neighborhoods down toward the south end with homes from the ’60s and ’70s, and the newer subdivisions up north around the Church Ranch and Legacy Ridge areas with their bigger, deeper kitchens. Different eras, same headache: cabinets you can’t fully reach into. Whether it’s a decades-old lower cabinet with a stockpot lost in the back, or a brand-new deep pantry where the back rows are a black hole, the fix is the same. Put the shelf on slides so it comes to you.

We’re Roll ’em Out Shelves, a family-owned Colorado company that’s been building custom roll-outs for more than 20 years. Joyce and her son Brent do the measuring, building, and installing themselves, out of our Brighton shop just east of Westminster. It’s an easy, regular trip for us.

What You’re Getting

A roll-out shelf is a custom shelf on full-extension metal slides that pulls straight out of the cabinet you already have. Nothing gets remodeled or replaced. We build a shelf sized to the exact inside of your cabinet, mount it on slides rated to hold up to 100 pounds, and set it in. It slides out smooth and quiet, all the way, so the very back of the cabinet lands right in front of you.

Every shelf is handcrafted from 9-ply Baltic birch plywood. That’s real furniture-grade material that shrugs off a heavy load and thousands of pulls. It matters across Westminster’s range of housing — the fixed shelves in an older home may be worn, and the factory shelves in a newer build often aren’t rated for real weight. Ours are.

And roll-outs go well beyond the kitchen. We build them for pantries, bathroom vanities, laundry rooms, and garages. Depending on which part of Westminster you’re in, the sweet spot varies — a compact older kitchen benefits from squeezing every inch out of each cabinet, while a newer home’s big pantry benefits from finally making those deep shelves reachable.

Why Roll-Outs Work Across Westminster

Because the housing here spans several decades, our advice bends to the home.

Custom roll-outs fitted around a built-in microwave — we build to whatever the cabinet gives us.

In the older south Westminster neighborhoods, the cabinets are frequently well-built and worth keeping. That’s the ideal case for roll-outs — upgrade the function, leave the solid boxes alone, skip the cost and mess of a remodel. If your cabinet boxes are sound, we can add roll-outs to lowers, many uppers, and the tricky under-sink spots where plumbing usually wastes the space. We build those custom around the pipes.

In the newer north Westminster subdivisions, the issue is depth. Builder-grade cabinets and pantries are generous but almost never come with roll-outs, so the back third goes unused from day one. Adding roll-outs is the most effective way to make that built-in storage actually usable. Pantries especially — turning fixed pantry shelves into sliding ones is often the single biggest organizational win in the house.

And no matter the era, there’s the blind corner problem. L-shaped kitchen runs, common in both older and newer Westminster homes, tend to have a deep corner cabinet where things disappear. For those we usually recommend a half-moon lazy Susan sized to your cabinet, since it’s designed to pull storage out of a corner a straight shelf can’t handle well.

Aging in place comes up too, particularly in the established neighborhoods where longtime residents plan to stay. Not having to kneel and dig through a bottom cabinet is a real, daily improvement. One customer of ours who’d been through two back surgeries told us bending over just wasn’t in the cards anymore — she started with four shelves to be sure, then had us finish the whole kitchen a week later.

How It Works

It begins with a free in-home consultation — no deposit, no obligation, no pressure. Joyce and Brent come to your Westminster home, look at your real cabinets, and hear what’s actually bugging you. Then you get an itemized quote, cabinet by cabinet, so you can do the whole kitchen or start with the two or three worst cabinets and add more later as your budget allows.

We measure precisely, build your shelves in Brighton, and most installs land about two weeks after the consultation. During the busy spring and summer months it can stretch to three. The install is quick and tidy and competed by our team of experienced experts. We don’t use subcontractors — and we clean up after ourselves.

Everything’s backed by a lifetime warranty. If the spacing turns out wrong after you’ve lived with it — you want a shelf raised for the tall appliance — we come back and adjust it, no charge. You don’t always know how a cabinet should be set up until you’ve used it, and we plan around that.

Why People Go With Us

No franchise, no big-box crew, no salesperson. The owners are the ones who measure, build, and install. We don’t use subcontractors, so whoever you meet at the consultation is who shows up on install day.

We’ve been at it since 2002, we carry an A+ rating with the Denver/Boulder Better Business Bureau, and every shelf is Colorado-built from 9-ply Baltic birch. Westminster sits comfortably inside the Front Range area we cover out of Brighton. If you’re not sure we reach your street, give us a call and we’ll tell you.

Questions Westminster Homeowners Ask

Does it matter whether my home is older or newer?

Not really — roll-outs work in both, we just approach them a little differently. In older south Westminster homes, the cabinet boxes are often solidly built and a great foundation for roll-outs; we measure carefully because older cabinets can be an odd size or slightly out of square after decades of settling. In newer north Westminster builds, the cabinets are usually square and easy to work with, and the payoff is unlocking the deep storage the builder left without roll-outs. Either way, the shelf is custom-built to your exact cabinet, so the age of the house doesn’t limit what we can do.

Can you make my deep pantry usable?

Yes, and it’s one of the highest-impact things we do. Deep fixed pantry shelves force you to stack items and reach over the front to get at the back, which is how food gets lost and duplicated. We build roll-out shelves for pantry cabinets and reach-in pantries so each shelf pulls all the way out and you can see the whole thing at a glance. Newer Westminster homes tend to have generous pantries that are perfect for this, but we do plenty in older homes too. We’ll assess your pantry’s depth and spacing during the consultation and build to fit how you actually use it.

What does it cost?

It comes down to how many shelves you want and your cabinet sizes, so there’s no flat rate — but you’ll get a clear, itemized quote at the free in-home consultation, broken out cabinet by cabinet. That lets you decide how much to do and when. Many homeowners start with their priority cabinets and add more over time. Most people are pleasantly surprised at how affordable it is compared to a full kitchen remodel. And there’s never a charge for the consultation or the quote.

Will the roll-outs change how my kitchen looks?

No. The roll-out sits inside the cabinet on slides — we don’t touch the cabinet face, the doors, or the finish. From the outside, your kitchen looks exactly the same as it did before. Open the door and pull, and the shelf glides out to you. That’s a big part of why roll-outs make sense instead of a remodel, especially if you like your current cabinets and just want them to work better. Nothing about the appearance of your Westminster kitchen changes; only how easily you can reach what’s inside.
