Custom kitchen cabinets in Pickering
Pickering is largely 1990s and 2000s subdivision housing, with older stock near the lake and country properties to the north. 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. A custom kitchen is measured, drawn and rendered before a board is cut, then built in our shop and installed by the same crew.
Pickering, on the ground.
Kitchen replacements, islands, basement bars and media walls are the bulk of what we build in Pickering. 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.
Finished basements in Pickering lose height to duct bulkheads, so we measure after framing rather than working from the joists.

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 Pickering yourselves?
Yes. The crew that builds the boxes in our shop delivers and installs them in Pickering. Nothing is handed to a subcontractor between the drawing and the last door adjustment.
Can I see my Pickering 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.
Can you get rid of the corner cabinet in our 1990s kitchen?
Usually yes. The fix is often to end the run before the corner, panel the return and put that storage into deep drawers elsewhere. Where the corner has to stay, a pull-out beats a lazy susan for reach and for what you can actually see. We show both options on the elevations.
Our basement ceiling is low after the ducts. Will a bar fit?
Yes, with the heights adjusted. We measure the finished ceiling at the lowest bulkhead and set any upper cabinet or glass rack under it, then keep the counter at a standard working height so it still feels normal to stand at. Everything overhead is drawn on the rendering so you can judge the headroom.
