Custom cabinetry in Ajax

Valmont designs, builds and installs custom cabinetry in Ajax: kitchens, pantries, laundry rooms, closets and basement millwork. The housing is mostly subdivision stock from the 1990s onward, plus older streets down near the lake. Kitchens in these houses share a footprint, which sounds limiting and is in fact useful. We have drawn the same room enough times to know where the wasted space hides, and it is almost always the corner, the wall above the fridge and the gap beside the range.

Ajax in detail

Ajax, on the ground.

The changes that matter are small and specific. A tall pantry beside the fridge with an appliance panel so the two read as one unit. Drawers in place of a lower door. A counter run carried past the window to the wall, so the toaster stops living on the island. None of that needs a permit or a wall to move, and all of it shows up on the rendering before you commit to it.

Boxes, doors and drawer fronts are cut, edged and finished in our own shop, then dry-fitted. Kam designs the job and builds it himself; the crew measures, delivers and installs. The quote is itemized line by line, so if you decide the laundry room can wait a season, you take out that line and the rest of the numbers stay exactly where they were.

Many kitchens in Ajax share the same builder footprint, so the gains come from the corner, the fridge wall and the run under the window.

Delivery and install

Driveways and attached garages give the crew a clear path, and most installs load in through the garage.

Questions from Ajax

Asked before the first call.

We want the fridge to look built in. Is that possible in a standard house?

Usually. A panel-ready fridge takes appliance panels that match your doors. A standard fridge can instead be boxed with tall gables and a deep upper so the front lines up with the cabinetry. The second route needs the wall depth checked and the water line set back. Both are drawn before you decide.

How messy is an install day?

The crew puts down floor protection, works from the truck rather than staging boxes through the house, and cleans up at the end of each day. Old cabinets come out first if we are removing them, and offcuts and packaging leave with us. Dust from countertop templating and plumbing belongs to those trades.

Can you match new cabinetry to what we already have?

We can match a painted finish closely and we can match a door profile. Wood grain and older factory finishes are harder, because they change as they age. The honest answer is that a match is easiest when the new work sits in a different room. We tell you at the sample stage which way it will go.
