Custom kitchen cabinets in North York
A custom kitchen is measured, drawn and rendered before a board is cut, then built in our shop and installed by the same crew. Full kitchens with islands and butler pantries lead here, along with mudrooms, walk-in closets and fitted wall units.
North York, on the ground.
North York holds postwar bungalows with plaster and bulkheads on the same streets as new two-storey rebuilds with nine and ten foot ceilings. Older kitchens bring bulkheads, out-of-square corners and plaster to scribe to; newer ones bring long runs, islands and ceilings tall enough for two-tier uppers. Lots are wide and driveways are deep, so a delivery truck can park on site and boxes go straight in through the front or garage door. We measure to the millimetre, build and dry-fit in the shop, deliver finished boxes and level, scribe and align them on site over [n] days.
A new build in North York allows one long uninterrupted run, so the decisions are about reveals, panel widths and ceiling height rather than working around what is already there.

No figures published. The drivers, in order.
| Driver | What we look at |
|---|---|
| Length of the run and the box count | Every cabinet is a box with a door or a drawer bank. More linear feet and more drawers means more shop hours. |
| Door construction | Painted five-piece and slab sit at one end, sequence-matched veneer and solid fluted fronts at the other. |
| Tall units and appliance panels | Floor-to-ceiling units, integrated fridge and dishwasher panels and a 9 or 10 ft ceiling add material and fitting time. |
| Island, stone and integrated pulls | A waterfall end, a mitred slab and pulls machined into the door change the build more than any colour choice. |
Colour, soft-close hardware and most pulls barely move the number. Every quote is itemized from your drawings and we walk you through each line before you sign.
Asked before the first call.
Do you install kitchens in North York yourselves?
Yes. The crew that builds the boxes in our shop delivers and installs them in North York. Nothing is handed to a subcontractor between the drawing and the last door adjustment.
Can I see my North York kitchen before you build it?
Yes. After the measure you get elevations and a photorealistic rendering with your doors, finish and hardware in your own room. Nothing is cut until you approve the drawings.
We are rebuilding in North York. When should we bring you in?
As soon as the framing plan is settled and before the plumbing and electrical are roughed in. Cabinetry drives outlet heights, the sink and dishwasher positions and the size of the opening over the range. Coming in at that point avoids moving services after the walls close.
Our new kitchen has ten foot ceilings. What goes above the upper cabinets?
Three usual answers: run the uppers full height and accept a step stool for the top row, add a shorter second row of doors with a reveal between them, or stop the uppers and finish with a deeper crown. Each is drawn against your measured ceiling height so you can judge the proportion.
