Custom cabinetry in Toronto
Valmont designs, builds and installs custom cabinetry in Toronto: kitchens, vanities, wall units, closets and millwork. In the old city, cabinetry is a measuring problem before it is a design problem. Floors slope, plaster walls run out of square, and a run that reads as straight on paper needs a scribe stile at each end. We survey the room with a laser, note the bulkheads and the radiator positions, and build the boxes in our shop in Richmond Hill to the measurements we took ourselves.
Toronto, on the ground.
Downtown work splits between houses and condos. In a semi off Dundas or Ossington the kitchen is narrow, the ceiling drops under a duct, and the tall units have to stop short of a bulkhead. In a tower on the waterfront the same kitchen is square and level, but everything arrives through a service elevator on a booked window. We size the boxes so they clear the elevator door and make the corridor turn without being cut down on site.
Step two of every Toronto project is a set of elevations plus a photorealistic 3D rendering, so you see the reveal above the fridge panel and the height of the upper run before anything is cut. The quote is itemized line by line, so a change to the island or the pantry doors shows up as its own line rather than a new number for the whole job. Kam Oveisy designs and builds. The crew measures on site, delivers and installs.
Cabinetry in Toronto usually has to answer to an older house that has moved, so scribe allowance and site-cut fillers are drawn into the job rather than dealt with on install day.
Toronto's stock runs from century brick semis with plaster walls and dropped bulkheads to level, square condo suites downtown.
A downtown install means either a booked service elevator and loading dock or a narrow front hall and a staircase with a tight turn.
Kitchens and basement millwork lead the work in Toronto, followed by vanities, closets and built-in wall units in the front room.

Asked before the first call.
My Toronto semi has walls that are out of square. Can you still fit a straight run?
Yes. We measure the room at floor, counter and upper height, then design in scribe stiles and filler at the walls so the doors and drawer fronts line up even when the plaster does not. The fillers are cut on site during the install rather than in the shop, which is why the same crew that measures does the fitting.
Can you work in my condo downtown?
Yes. We book the service elevator and the loading dock through the property manager, protect the corridor and the suite floor, and break the run into boxes that clear the elevator door. [Typical condo building delivery rules] set the hours material can be moved, so we confirm those before the install date is fixed.
There is a bulkhead over my kitchen. What happens to the upper cabinets?
Two ways to handle it. We build the uppers to die into the bulkhead with a scribe at the top, or we box the bulkhead into the cabinetry with a matching panel so it reads as part of the run. Both are drawn at your measured ceiling height and shown in the rendering before you choose.
