Custom cabinetry in Whitchurch-Stouffville
Valmont designs, builds and installs custom cabinetry in Whitchurch-Stouffville: kitchens, islands, pantries, laundry rooms and built-in storage. The town splits cleanly into two kinds of job. Around Main Street the houses are older, with lower ceilings, plaster over lath and door openings that were never square. East and north of the core the subdivisions went up recently, with 9 ft main floors and open plans where the kitchen is furniture in the middle of a room rather than a set of walls.
Whitchurch-Stouffville, on the ground.
In the newer houses the question is usually the island. The builder leaves a rectangle of space and a rough-in, and the useful work is deciding how much of it is seating, how much is drawers and where the waste pulls out. We draw it at full size on the elevations. In the older houses near the core the work runs the other way: finding storage in a room that already has three doors, a radiator and a window on the best wall.
Doors, drawer fronts and boxes are cut, edged and finished in our shop in Richmond Hill, then dry-fitted before anything leaves. That matters for painted work, because a door that sits proud or a drawer that binds is easier to correct on a bench than in your kitchen. Kam draws the job and builds it. The crew measures, delivers and installs, and clears the site each day. Every quote is itemized line by line so you can see what each run costs.
Work near the older streets in Stouffville meets plaster walls and out of square openings, so we allow for scribing on every run that touches a wall.

Most driveways here take a delivery truck, and installs load through a front door or garage rather than a stair or elevator.

Asked before the first call.
Our house is near Main Street and the ceilings are low. Do tall units still work?
They do, but the proportions change. Under an 8 ft ceiling we usually run tall units right to the ceiling with a slim crown or none at all, so the eye reads one line instead of a gap that collects dust. The upper doors get shorter and the drawer bank below gets deeper.
The builder put in a plain island. Can you replace just that?
Yes. An island on its own is a normal job for us. We measure the existing rough-ins for water, waste and power, draw the new box around them, and either match or replace the perimeter finish depending on what you want. Countertop and appliance changes are quoted as separate lines.
How long before we see a drawing?
Step two of every project is elevations plus a photorealistic 3D rendering, so you see the real thing before you commit. It follows the measure appointment by [n] business days. Changes at that stage are expected and easy to make. Once you sign off, the drawings go to the shop and the cut list is locked.
