Custom Roll-Out Shelves for Broomfield Homes

A fixed-shelf pantry converted to roll-outs — every row pulls out so nothing hides in the back.

Broomfield’s full of newer homes — the subdivisions that went up around Anthem, Broadlands, and the areas near the Northwest Parkway all have kitchens with big, deep cabinets and roomy pantries. Sounds great until you’re on your knees trying to fish a sheet pan out of the very back of a lower cabinet, or you’ve got a pantry where the top of every shelf is a mystery zone you can’t see into. Lots of storage doesn’t help much if you can’t reach half of it. Roll-out shelves fix that by putting the cabinet on slides so it comes to you.

We’re Roll ’em Out Shelves, a family-owned Colorado company that’s built custom roll-outs for over 20 years. Everything is measured, built, and installed by Joyce and her son Brent, out of our shop in Brighton — a straight shot east of Broomfield. It’s a regular route for us.

What a Roll-Out Actually Is

A roll-out shelf is a shelf built on full-extension metal slides that pulls all the way out of your existing cabinet. You don’t remodel, you don’t replace anything — we build a shelf to the exact inside dimensions of your cabinet and mount it on slides rated to 100 pounds. It glides out smooth and quiet, fully extended, so the back of the cabinet ends up right in front of you. No reaching, no unloading the front to get to the back.

Each shelf is handcrafted from 9-ply Baltic birch plywood — genuine furniture-grade stuff, not laminated particleboard. In newer Broomfield homes, the factory-installed cabinets often come with fixed shelves in materials that sag over time under real weight. Ours are built to hold a loaded shelf and get pulled thousands of times without complaint.

Roll-outs aren’t kitchen-only. We build them for pantries, bathroom vanities, laundry rooms, and garages. The generous pantries that come with a lot of Broomfield’s newer builds are prime territory — turn six fixed pantry shelves into six that slide, and you can finally see and reach everything instead of losing cans and boxes in the back rows.

Why This Fits Broomfield

A couple of local realities drive our recommendations here.

Newer construction with deep storage is the main one. The homes in Broomfield’s newer neighborhoods tend to have generous cabinets and pantries — which is exactly the situation where the back third goes to waste. Deeper is only better if you can reach it, and factory cabinets almost never come with roll-outs standard. Adding them is the single most effective way to make that built-in storage actually usable. We can add roll-outs to lower cabinets, many uppers, and even the awkward under-sink and under-cooktop spaces where plumbing normally kills the storage — we build those around the pipes.

Pantries are the second one. A lot of Broomfield floor plans include a dedicated pantry, and those are where roll-outs pay off fastest. A fixed-shelf pantry forces you to stack and shove, and things vanish into the back. Roll-out pantry shelves bring each row out to you. You stop buying duplicates of things you already own because now you can see what’s there.

Then there’s the blind corner. Newer L-shaped kitchen layouts frequently have one — that deep corner cabinet where two runs meet and everything disappears. For those we usually recommend a half-moon lazy Susan sized to your cabinet width, since it’s built specifically to pull storage out of a corner a straight shelf can’t reach well.

How the Process Goes

Six fixed shelves become six that slide — the single biggest organizing win in most homes

It starts with a free in-home consultation — no deposit, no obligation, no pressure. Joyce and Brent come to your Broomfield home, look at your actual cabinets and pantry, and listen to what’s frustrating you. Then you get a clear quote broken out cabinet by cabinet, so you can do the whole kitchen at once or knock out the two or three worst offenders first and add the rest later on your budget and timeline.

We take exact measurements, build your shelves in the Brighton shop, and most installs happen about two weeks after the consultation. Spring and summer are busier and it can run to three weeks. Installation is quick and clean — Brent handles most himself — and we don’t leave a mess.

Every shelf has a lifetime warranty. And if, after using them a few weeks, the spacing isn’t quite right — you want a shelf bumped up to fit the tall pitcher — we come back and move it at no charge. You often don’t know exactly how a cabinet should be laid out until you’ve lived with it, and we account for that.

Why Homeowners Pick Us

We’re not a franchise or a big-box installer sending whoever’s free that day. The owners measure, build, and install. No subcontractors — the people at your consultation are the people who install your shelves.

The company’s been running since 2002, we hold an A+ rating with the Denver/Boulder Better Business Bureau, and every shelf is Colorado-built from 9-ply Baltic birch. Broomfield’s well within the Front Range area we serve out of Brighton. Not sure if we reach your neighborhood? One call sorts it out.

Questions Broomfield Homeowners Ask

My cabinets are only a few years old — is it worth adding roll-outs?

For most people, yes — and newer cabinets are actually easy to work with. The cabinet boxes in Broomfield’s newer homes are typically square and in good shape, which makes for a clean, straightforward roll-out install. The reason it’s worth it isn’t the age of the cabinets, it’s the depth: factory cabinets almost never come with roll-outs, so the back third of every deep cabinet and pantry shelf is going unused. Adding roll-outs is what turns that dead space into storage you actually reach. You’re not fixing a flaw in the cabinets, you’re finishing the job the builder left undone.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the number of shelves and your cabinet sizes, so there’s no one-size price — but you get a clear, itemized quote at the free in-home consultation, broken out cabinet by cabinet. That way you decide how much to do and when. A lot of homeowners start with priority cabinets and add more over time. Most find it’s more affordable than they’d guessed, especially next to what a full kitchen remodel costs. And there’s no charge to have us come out and give you the number.

Do you build the shelves on-site?

No — we measure at your home, then build everything in our Brighton workshop where we’ve got the tools and materials to do it right. That’s actually a plus: there’s no sawdust, no cutting, no mess in your kitchen. We come out once to measure and talk through what you want, build off-site, then return to install. The install itself is quick and clean, usually a single visit for a typical kitchen. You’re never living around a construction project.
