Frequently Asked Questions
What is Custom Cabinetry?
Custom cabinetry is built from scratch around your room — not chosen from a catalogue and adjusted to fit. That means no awkward gaps and no storage that was designed for someone else’s room. The layout, the materials, the finish, and every interior detail are planned around the way you actually live and work in the space.
If you have to prioritize, cabinetry usually has the bigger impact on daily function. Countertops matter too, especially visually, but cabinets affect storage, workflow, organization, and how the kitchen feels to use every single day. A beautiful countertop can’t make up for a layout or storage plan that doesn’t work well.
That’s why many homeowners are better off investing in solid cabinet design and quality construction first, then choosing the best countertop option that fits what’s left in the budget.
Yes — taller cabinetry usually costs more. That’s because more height means more material, more finishing work, and often more installation time. It can also mean custom-sized doors or added care during installation, especially if the walls or ceiling aren’t perfectly level.
Running cabinets to the ceiling can create a beautiful, built-in look and add valuable storage, but it does come with a price increase compared to standard-height cabinetry.
For many homeowners, it’s still worth considering — especially if they want the extra storage or a more custom appearance. It just helps to understand that height is one of the factors that can move the budget upward.
Projects are overseen directly by Chase Collings, who is involved as the owner, designer, and cabinet maker. For homeowners, that means the person you’re discussing the design with is also closely connected to how the project is built and carried through to installation. That kind of continuity can make communication much easier and helps keep the vision consistent from start to finish.
Some homeowners really value that direct involvement because it creates a more personal and accountable experience. Instead of being passed between departments, you’re working with the person leading the project.
For many homeowners, yes—especially if they plan to stay in the home for a long time. Custom cabinets offer a better fit, more tailored storage, and a result that’s designed around the actual room rather than a standard system. That usually means better day-to-day function and fewer compromises.
The value becomes even clearer over time. Custom cabinets built with quality materials—particularly plywood boxes and HDF or quality MDF doors with professional finishes—can last 20 to 50 years, compared to 10 to 25 years for many stock options. If you’re using the kitchen every day for years, the benefit of better organization, stronger materials, and a layout that works well adds up in a very real way.
Choosing the right materials in a custom build matters more than with stock cabinets. A custom cabinet maker can specify HDF for high-moisture zones, plywood for the structural box, and quality hardware throughout. Stock cabinets give you less control over those details, which is one reason they often don’t last as long.
The cost per year of use is often comparable to—or even lower than—a cheaper cabinet that needs replacing sooner. So while custom cabinets do cost more upfront, many homeowners find the long-term comfort, function, durability, and control over material quality make the investment worthwhile.
Yes. A 50 percent deposit is required once the quote is accepted. That is standard for custom cabinetry work because materials need to be ordered and production begins well before installation day. The deposit helps secure the project and allows the work to move forward on schedule.
As with any renovation contract, it’s helpful to understand the payment structure clearly before the project begins so everyone knows what to expect.
When the terms are set out clearly from the start, the process tends to feel much more straightforward.
Layout should always come first. A beautiful cabinet style can only do so much if the kitchen itself is awkward to use. When the layout works well, even a simple cabinet design can feel polished, practical, and satisfying every day.
Your layout affects how you move through the room, where your prep space sits, how close your dishes are to the dishwasher, and how natural it feels to cook, clean, and put things away. It’s the foundation of the entire kitchen.
That’s also why layout decisions are the hardest to change later. Once plumbing, electrical, and cabinetry are in place, moving things around becomes expensive very quickly.
Style choices like door profile, colour, and hardware are important, but they come after the bigger decisions are made. When the layout is right first, the finished kitchen usually looks better and works better.
