Everything you're wondering about custom cabinetry

We build with solid wood, high-grade plywood, and MDF depending on the piece and its use — for example, plywood boxes with solid wood doors are a common combination for kitchens. We'll recommend the right material for your specific project and budget, and you can see real samples of each in our showroom.

Stock cabinetry comes in fixed sizes and limited styles, semi-custom allows some modifications to a base line, and fully custom (what we build) is designed and built specifically for your space, with no size or style constraints. Custom cabinetry generally costs more but fits irregular spaces and specific design goals that stock or semi-custom options can't.

It typically starts with a free consultation to understand your space and goals, followed by design development and material selection, a final design approval, then in-house building and installation. Most residential projects take about 6-10 weeks from final approval to installation.

We can discuss payment structure during your consultation — reach out to our showroom directly at (647) 835-5545 to talk through what works for your project.

Cabinetry typically refers to kitchen, bathroom, and storage cabinets. Millwork is a broader term covering custom woodwork like built-ins, wall units, reception desks, and architectural detailing — we do both, for residential and commercial spaces.

Yes — since every piece is custom-built, you can choose your own hardware, finishes, and colors rather than being limited to a fixed set of options, as you would be with stock cabinetry.
