Custom vs. stock cabinetry: what's the difference?

Stock cabinets from big box stores are more affordable but offer limited versatility, often resulting in unused space. Custom cabinetry offers unique designs tailored to your specifications, maximizing storage and enhancing the look of your space.

Can you provide an accurate bid based on my plans?

Yes! We can give you a bid if your plans are to scale and if you provide a clear idea of your desired cabinet design. We could also meet in person to measure and discuss the design.

What factors affect the cost of custom cabinetry?

The final cost depends on …

  1. The number and size of the cabinets
  2. The materials used
  3. The hardware (e.g., drawers and handles) 

Costs can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars.

Do I have to choose specific cabinet sizes?

No, custom-built cabinets can be made in any size you desire, including unique features and personalized storage options.

When is the latest I can make changes?

Changes can be made anytime. However, if you’ve already approved the plans and we’ve started cutting cabinets, there may be additional charges for materials and labour.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes, we guarantee our workmanship and materials for one year and will make adjustments to doors and drawers as needed during that time. Most customers require no adjustments after the initial installation.

When will my cabinets be ready?

Upon finalizing the plans, the average delivery time is 6-8 weeks, depending on the project’s scope and size. Installation typically takes 2-5 working days.

Do you offer free estimates?

How far in advance should I book to ensure my home is ready for our move in date?

For custom cabinetry, it’s advisable to book at least 8 weeks in advance of your desired move-in date. This allows enough time for the design process, material sourcing, fabrication, and installation. However, factors like the complexity of the project, the availability of materials, and the workload of the cabinetmaker can impact the timeline. To be safe, consult with your cabinetmaker for a more accurate estimate based on your specific needs.

I am still unsure about the design that I want in my house. Can you help?

Yes, absolutely! A qualified professional can walk you through which design would maximize storage space while still looking aesthetically pleasing.
