COMMON QUESTIONS
Custom Cabinetry FAQ
What makes a custom cabinet maker different from a stock cabinet supplier?
Stock products come in preset sizes and configurations. A custom cabinet maker plans dimensions, storage and design choices around your measured room and the way you use it.
What changes between the five cabinetry tiers?
The tiers cover different material and door options, from TFL and MDF slab styles to thermofoil, painted MDF and stained wood doors. Cabinet-box construction, hardware and internal storage also affect the specification and price.
How long does cabinetry production take?
Typical production takes 1–4 weeks, depending on the selected material. Confirm the start date and how delivery, site preparation and installation fit into your project schedule.
What affects the cost of custom cabinets?
Room size, layout, cabinet quantity, material tier, finishes, hardware and storage features affect cost. Ask whether the quote includes delivery, installation and HST, and confirm who handles removal, countertops and related trade work.
Do I need a permit for a cabinetry project?
The wider renovation determines the requirements. Kitchener lists cabinets and countertops as finish work that does not need a building permit. Waterloo identifies wall, structural and plumbing changes as typical permit triggers. Confirm the full scope with your municipality before work begins.
