What Sets Us Apart

Superior Craftsmanship

From solid hardwood to premium hardware, we build cabinets the right way. Our joints are tight, our finishes are smooth, and our eye for detail shows in every corner. Depending on your budget and style, we can work with hardwood, painted finishes, or a mix — but the quality of construction never changes. You get storage solutions built to last, not just to look good on install day.

Reliable & Communicative

We show up when we say we will and keep you informed every step of the way. No disappearing for weeks or leaving you wondering what comes next. Our project timeline is realistic and we stick to it. You'll always know where your project stands and when we'll be back to continue the work.

Local & Community-Focused

We're not a franchise or a faceless corporation — we're your neighbours. Born and raised in London, we've built kitchens and custom cabinets for families across this city for years. Our reputation lives and dies in this community, which means every project gets our full effort. When you hire us, you're keeping skilled trades local and working with people who genuinely care about the result.

Cabinet Maker FAQ

Everything London homeowners ask before starting a project.

Custom cabinet projects typically range from $150-400 per linear foot, depending on materials, design complexity, and hardware choices. Basic laminate cabinets start around $8,000-$12,000 for a standard kitchen, while solid wood custom work can reach $30,000 or more. Labour costs in our area are competitive, and we work with trusted suppliers to keep material costs reasonable. Every project is unique, so I always provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs. Contact us for a free consultation and quote tailored to your specific needs.

Most cabinet installation and replacement projects don't require permits in Ontario, but if you're doing major structural changes, moving plumbing, or electrical work as part of the renovation, you'll need permits from the City of London Building Division. Simple cabinet swaps in existing locations are typically permit-free. However, if we're removing walls, relocating utilities, or making structural modifications, we'll help you navigate the permit process. I always recommend checking with the city when in doubt - they're helpful and it's better to be safe.

Quality contractors provide detailed written quotes, not just verbal estimates. Avoid anyone who demands full payment upfront or only accepts cash. Ask about their warranty terms and how they handle problems. A good contractor will answer your questions patiently, explain the process clearly, and make you feel confident about moving forward.

Solid wood remains the gold standard for durability and timeless appeal - maple, oak, and cherry are excellent choices that handle our humidity changes well. For budget-conscious projects, high-quality plywood with hardwood veneers offers great value and stability. I generally steer clients away from particle board, especially in areas prone to moisture. MDF works well for painted finishes and offers smooth, consistent surfaces. For busy families, I often recommend hardwood or quality plywood with durable finishes that can withstand daily use. The key is matching your material choice to your budget, style preferences, and how you use your kitchen.

A typical custom kitchen cabinet project takes 8–16 weeks from start to finish. The process starts with a design consultation and measurements, followed by 6–10 weeks of manufacturing time for custom cabinets. Installation itself usually takes 3–5 days depending on the size of the kitchen. Cabinet refacing is faster — typically 3–5 days on-site. Timelines can vary based on cabinet complexity, countertop lead times, and any additional work like electrical or plumbing updates. I always provide a clear timeline upfront and keep clients updated throughout the project.

If your cabinet boxes are structurally sound but doors are sagging, hinges are worn, or the finish looks dated, repair or refacing might be perfect. However, if you see water damage, the cabinet boxes are falling apart, or the layout doesn't work for your needs, replacement makes more sense. Cabinets over 20 years old with significant wear often cost more to repair than replace. I always do a thorough assessment and give honest recommendations - sometimes a simple hardware upgrade and fresh paint can work wonders.

While cabinet installation doesn't typically require permits, it's more complex than many homeowners realize. Poor installation can damage expensive cabinets, create safety hazards, or void manufacturer warranties. You'll need specialized tools and experience with precise measurements - even small errors can cause big problems. If plumbing or electrical work is involved, you'll definitely need licensed professionals. Many homeowners successfully tackle simple tasks like hardware installation, but full cabinet projects usually benefit from professional expertise. Consider your skill level, available time, and the cost of mistakes.

Quality cabinet work typically returns 60-80% of your investment in home value, making it one of the better renovation investments. Fresh, modern cabinets significantly improve your kitchen's appeal to potential buyers and make daily living more enjoyable. The key is choosing timeless styles and quality materials that won't look dated quickly. Even if you're not selling soon, updated cabinets enhance your quality of life and make your home more functional. Well-designed storage solutions particularly appeal to today's buyers who value organization and efficiency.

Absolutely - we provide a comprehensive two-year warranty on all installation work, covering any defects in workmanship or installation issues. Cabinet manufacturers typically offer their own warranties ranging from one year to lifetime coverage, depending on the product line. Our warranty covers things like loose hinges, alignment problems, or finish issues related to installation. We stand behind our work and will return promptly to address any covered issues. All warranty terms are clearly outlined in your contract.

Quality contractors show up on time, communicate clearly, and keep job sites clean and organized. They provide detailed contracts, pull proper permits when needed, and use quality materials. Watch for red flags like door-to-door sales pitches, demands for full payment upfront, or quotes significantly below others. Good contractors answer questions patiently, show you previous work, and provide local references. They also carry proper insurance and don't pressure you to sign immediately. Quality work speaks for itself - trust contractors who let their craftsmanship and professionalism do the talking.

Cabinet work can happen year-round since it's indoor construction, but spring and fall tend to be ideal timing. These seasons offer moderate weather for deliveries and any ventilation needed during finishing work. Avoid major projects during holiday seasons when you'll want full kitchen access. Summer can work well if you're planning to be away during installation. Winter projects are fine but allow extra time for material deliveries during weather delays. The key is planning around your family's schedule and needs.
