Custom kitchen cabinet cost and payments
01How much does a custom kitchen cost?+
Most of our kitchens fall between $20,000 and $60,000+, installed, in CAD before GST. Cabinets run from about $380 per linear foot of base cabinets in melamine to $820 in solid wood.
02Is the quote free?+
Yes. The first conversation and quote are free. The on-site measure is paid, and the fee is credited in full to your order.
03How do payments work?+
Three payments: 30% at signing, 40% when production is complete, 30% after installation and walkthrough. The deposit is non-refundable once production starts, except where the law requires otherwise.
04Do you offer financing?+
Yes, through our financing partner. Rates and approval are set by the partner.
05What is not included in your price?+
Plumbing, electrical, gas, drywall and flooring. We coordinate licensed partner trades and their work is quoted separately.
Design and materials
01What is the best material for kitchen cabinets?+
For boxes, branded melamine panels such as Egger or Uniboard, fully edge-banded: stable, moisture-resistant and easy to keep clean. For doors it depends on the look and budget: melamine and thermofoil for value, painted MDF for colour, wood veneer or solid wood for grain, Fenix NTM for a super-matt, anti-fingerprint surface. Hardware is Blum, with Richelieu and AGT where they fit.
02Custom vs semi-custom kitchen cabinets: what's the difference?+
Semi-custom cabinets come in set widths (usually 3-inch steps) with fillers to close the gaps. Custom cabinets are built to the measured size of your room, so they use every inch, fit out-of-square walls and can follow sloped ceilings or bulkheads. Everything we make is custom.
03Will I see the design before I pay?+
Yes. You get a 3D design and a line-by-line quote, and you can revise both before signing.
04Can you build unusual or tricky layouts?+
Yes, and we like them: sloped ceilings, odd angles, bulkheads, out-of-square walls. Every cabinet is cut to the measured size.
05Do you have a showroom?+
A showroom is planned. For now you can see samples by appointment.
06Do you work with interior designers and builders?+
Yes. We have a trade program with drawings, pricing and scheduling built for designers and multi-family builders.
How long a custom kitchen takes: production and installation
01How long does a custom kitchen take?+
Design 1 to 2 weeks, production 3 to 5 weeks, installation 2 to 8 days. Stone countertops are fitted 1 to 3 weeks after cabinets.
02Where are cabinets made?+
In Edmonton, on our own CNC and edge-banding machines. As a cabinet company in Edmonton since 2022, we build and install everything ourselves.
03Who installs?+
Our own team, not subcontractors. The same people who build your cabinets often install them.
04Can changes be made after I sign?+
Small changes are usually possible before production starts. After that, changes may affect price and timing, and we confirm both in writing first.
05Do you remove old cabinets?+
Yes, if you want. Removal and disposal are a separate line in your quote.
Service area, licences and warranty
01Which areas do you serve?+
All of Alberta. The Edmonton metro is our core area; for farther towns we quote travel separately.
02Are you licensed and insured?+
Yes. City of Edmonton business licence 9919234, $2,000,000 CGL insurance, and WCB coverage.
03What warranty do you give?+
5 years on cabinet boxes, 5 years on countertops, 10 years on Blum hardware, 2 years on installation.
04Do you repair cabinets you didn't build?+
Yes. Service calls are $150 for the first hour, then $95 per hour plus parts.
