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.
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.
Semi-custom cabinets are made within a manufacturer’s preset system — you get more choices than stock, but the sizing and construction still follow their rules. Custom cabinets have no preset limits on size, depth, layout, storage configuration, or finish.
Semi-custom cabinets give you more flexibility than stock, but you’re still working within a manufacturer’s system. You can usually adjust sizes slightly and choose from a wider range of styles and finishes, but you’re still limited to what that brand offers.
Custom cabinetry removes those limits entirely. Everything is built from scratch, so dimensions, storage features, and finishes are tailored exactly to your space and how you use it. That means you can solve very specific problems — like fitting a drawer into an awkward gap or designing storage around the way you cook and organize your kitchen.
In terms of timeline, semi-custom cabinets usually take 4 to 8 weeks, while fully custom work is closer to 6 to 12 weeks. Cost-wise, custom is typically 20–40% more, depending on materials and complexity — but it also gives you complete control over the final result.
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.
No. Chase Cabinetry manages the different phases of the project and coordinates with other licensed and insured trades when they’re needed. That can make the process much easier for homeowners, especially in larger renovations where timing matters. Instead of trying to organize plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and installers on your own, you have one main point of contact throughout the project.
That kind of coordination often reduces confusion, keeps scheduling tighter, and helps the job move more smoothly overall.
For many homeowners, that simplicity is a major advantage.
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.
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.
