Custom cabinetry in Richmond Hill

Valmont designs, builds and installs custom cabinetry in Richmond Hill: kitchens, vanities, wall units, home offices and closets. The town splits between postwar streets around Yonge and Bayview and newer subdivisions and infill north and east of them. On the older streets the kitchen is a closed room with a bulkhead over the sink wall. On the newer ones it opens to a great room with a tall ceiling nearby, which changes what the uppers can reasonably do.

Richmond Hill in detail

Richmond Hill, on the ground.

Home offices and fitted wall units come up more here than in most of the region. A wall unit is joinery, not furniture: it has to sit level on a floor that may not be, close tight against a wall that may bow, and swallow the cable runs and outlets behind it. We take the outlet and data positions at the measure and cut the back panels in the shop, so nothing is drilled blind once the unit is against the wall.

Bathroom vanities are the other steady job, usually a drawer bank each side of a plumbing void. We build the drawer boxes notched around the trap and stack so the drawers still work, rather than giving the whole cabinet over to the pipe. Step two of the project is elevations plus a photorealistic 3D rendering, and the quote is itemized line by line. Kam Oveisy designs and builds; the crew measures, delivers and installs.

Wall units and offices in Richmond Hill are fitted joinery, so outlet and data positions are recorded at the measure and the back panels are cut for them in the shop.

Housing

Richmond Hill mixes postwar houses with closed kitchens and bulkheads around Yonge and Bayview with newer subdivision and infill houses open to a great room.

Delivery and install

Most houses take a driveway delivery and a level entry, and attached garages give the crew somewhere dry to stage boxes.

Rooms we see most

Kitchens, fitted wall units, home offices, walk-in closets and bathroom vanities.

Questions from Richmond Hill

Asked before the first call.

Can you build a wall unit around a mounted television and hide the wires?

Yes. We need the screen size, the bracket type and the position of the outlets and data points, all taken at the measure. Back panels are cut in the shop for the cable runs, and a service gap is left behind the screen so a future bracket change does not mean pulling the unit apart.

There is a bulkhead over the sink in our older Richmond Hill kitchen. Can it come out?

Sometimes. It depends on what is inside: a duct or a plumbing stack can often be rerouted, structure cannot. We open the question at the measure and design for both outcomes, so the cabinetry works whether the bulkhead stays or your contractor removes it before we deliver.

How do you fit a vanity around the existing plumbing?

We measure the drain and supply positions before building. The drawer boxes are notched around the trap and the stack so you keep working drawers instead of a false front. If the plumbing is being moved as part of the job, the new positions are set in the drawings and confirmed before cutting.
