Custom kitchen cabinets in Scugog
Scugog centres on Port Perry's heritage streets and the houses ringing Lake Scugog, many of them added to over the years. 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.
Scugog, on the ground.
Kitchens, bars, laundry rooms and window wall built-ins are the common Scugog jobs. 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.
Lakeside rooms in Scugog have little solid wall, so storage moves into deep drawers and a single tall run.

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 Scugog yourselves?
Yes. The crew that builds the boxes in our shop delivers and installs them in Scugog. Nothing is handed to a subcontractor between the drawing and the last door adjustment.
Can I see my Scugog 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.
Our Port Perry house has a narrow hall and a turning stair. Is that a problem?
It is a measurement, not a problem. We take the hall width, the stair turn and the ceiling at the landing, then build anything that will not fit in one piece as sections joined on site. The joint lands on a reveal, so it reads as part of the design rather than a repair.
The kitchen looks at the lake and has almost no wall space. Where does the storage go?
Downward. Deep drawers hold more than uppers do and they do not interrupt a window line. We usually add one tall run on the single solid wall, put the microwave or the coffee setup behind a door there, and keep the window wall to counter and a low backsplash.
