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.
They can — especially when they improve both function and appearance. Kitchens are one of the most important rooms for resale, and cabinetry is one of the first things buyers notice.
Outdated or poorly fitted cabinets can make a kitchen feel tired, even if the rest of the space is fine. On the other hand, well-designed cabinetry signals that the home has been cared for and thoughtfully updated.
In strong markets, homeowners may recover a significant portion of their kitchen renovation investment. Some industry reports suggest returns of 70% or more for mid-range kitchen remodels, though returns can vary depending on the region, scope of work, and local real estate conditions.
If you’re planning to sell within the next 5–10 years, upgrading your cabinets can help your home stand out, sell faster, and feel more move-in ready to buyers.
Yes. Chase Cabinetry also works on select commercial projects across the Niagara region. That can include office cabinetry, reception counters, staff kitchens, and workspace storage. Commercial work often has different needs than residential projects, especially when it comes to durability, traffic, and accessibility requirements.
Because of that, each commercial job is usually considered based on its specific scope. Some spaces need straightforward built-in storage, while others require more specialized design and coordination.
Often, yes. A quality painted finish usually involves more steps, including sanding, priming, and multiple coats to achieve a smooth, even look. That extra labour is a big part of why painted cabinets often cost more.
Stained finishes also require careful prep, but the process is different because the goal is to highlight the natural character of the wood rather than cover it. The final cost can vary depending on the wood species and the finish system used.
In the end, the price difference comes down less to one finish being “better” and more to the amount of work needed to do each one well.
Yes — custom cabinets are a bigger upfront investment, but there’s a reason for that. You’re paying for design time, skilled craftsmanship, higher-quality materials, and a product that’s built specifically for your home. In Ontario, that typically puts custom cabinetry in the $15,000 to $40,000+ range, depending on size and scope. Stock cabinets, by comparison, might cost $5,000 to $12,000 for a similar space.
But the long-term value often tells a different story. Well-built custom cabinets can last 20 to 50 years, while many stock options fall closer to 10 to 25 years. You’re also avoiding compromises like filler strips, wasted space, and layouts that don’t quite function properly.
So while the upfront cost is higher, many homeowners find the long-term durability and daily usability make it worthwhile.
For most homeowners, custom cabinets deliver a better result when fit and storage quality matter. Stock cabinets can work for straightforward kitchens on tight timelines, but they rarely make the best use of the space.
It really comes down to your space and what you need from your kitchen. If your room is simple — straight walls, standard ceiling height, no layout challenges — stock cabinets can work just fine and save you money. But most kitchens aren’t that straightforward.
Across Ontario, especially in older homes, it’s common to see uneven walls, bulkheads, unusual dimensions, or awkward window placements. In those situations, stock cabinets often leave gaps and wasted space. Custom cabinets are designed to solve those exact problems. Instead of forcing your kitchen to fit standard sizes, everything is built around how your space actually exists.
There’s also a durability difference. Stock cabinets often use particleboard boxes and limited hardware, which can show wear sooner — especially near sinks and dishwashers. Custom cabinets typically use stronger materials and better construction methods, which means they hold up longer under daily use.
And when homeowners look back after a renovation, what they value most isn’t just how the kitchen looks — it’s how well it works. Better storage, better flow, and easier daily use are where custom cabinets really stand out.
Custom kitchen cabinetry in Ontario usually falls somewhere in the $15,000 to $40,000 range for a full kitchen, though the final number depends on the size of the space, the materials, the finish, the storage features, and how complex the installation is. Smaller or simpler kitchens land toward the lower end, while larger kitchens with premium materials or more detailed design work move higher.
That range can feel wide, but it reflects how many variables are involved. Cabinetry is one of the biggest investments in a kitchen renovation because it affects both how the room looks and how it functions every day.
The most accurate way to understand cost is always to price your actual space, since custom work is built around the room itself.
