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.
Chase Cabinetry handles a wide range of custom cabinetry and storage projects for both homes and businesses. That includes custom kitchens, bathroom vanities, built-in entertainment units, home offices, wardrobes, mudrooms, laundry rooms, closet organizers, and cabinet refacing where the existing boxes are still in good condition.
For homeowners, that kind of range can be helpful because it means the same company can often carry a consistent look and quality across different rooms in the home. It also makes it easier to discuss custom projects that don’t fit neatly into one category.
If you have a storage or cabinetry idea in mind, it’s often worth asking — even if it isn’t one of the most common project types.
The more information you can provide upfront, the more useful the estimate will be. Photos of the space, rough measurements, ceiling height, your location, and a short description of what you want to change all help create a more accurate quote. It’s also helpful to mention whether you’re thinking about refacing, full replacement, or another kind of custom project.
A vague request usually leads to a vague estimate. But when a contractor can see the space and understand your goals, the pricing becomes much more meaningful.
You don’t need professional drawings to get started. Clear photos, honest details, and a general sense of your priorities are usually enough for a solid first conversation.
In many cases, they’re even more valuable in a smaller home. When space is limited, every inch matters. And that’s exactly where standard cabinets tend to fall short.
Many smaller Ontario homes — especially older ones — weren’t designed around modern cabinet sizes. That leads to wasted space, awkward gaps, and storage that doesn’t fully work.
Custom cabinets solve that by using every inch efficiently. It’s not uncommon to gain 6 to 12 inches of usable space just by eliminating fillers and designing to exact dimensions.
In smaller kitchens, smart design makes a huge difference. Features like deep drawers, ceiling-height cabinets, and better corner storage can completely change how the space functions.
When you don’t have extra space to work with, good design matters even more — and that’s where custom really pays off.
Start with function. Think about what you store, how you move through the room, what frustrates you about the current layout, and what daily tasks need to get easier. Style decisions are always easier once you have a clear picture of how the space needs to work.
Before you get too far into colours, door styles, or finishes, it helps to start with the practical side of the project.
Think about how your kitchen works right now. What do you store? What do you use every day? What feels frustrating or inefficient?
Go beyond dishes and cookware. Include small appliances, pantry items, cleaning products, recycling, pet food, kids’ snacks, and anything else that regularly lives in the space. Most homeowners realize pretty quickly that they need more thoughtful storage than they expected. One useful exercise is to open every cabinet and drawer in your current kitchen and photograph the contents — it gives you a concrete inventory to design around, rather than guessing from memory.
It also helps to pay attention to your daily habits. Are you always moving things around to reach what you need? Do the counters feel cluttered no matter how often you clean them? Is your garbage or recycling in an awkward spot?
Those small frustrations usually point to the changes that matter most. In many Ontario homes, common pain points include insufficient pantry space, poor corner cabinet access, and recycling and composting storage that doesn’t match municipal sorting requirements. Once you understand how the space needs to function, the style decisions become much easier — because they’re being built around real needs, not guesswork.
In most kitchens, yes — drawers are easier to live with. With a drawer, everything pulls out toward you, so you can see what you have and reach it without digging around. With a cabinet door and shelf, items tend to get pushed to the back and forgotten.
That difference becomes even more noticeable with pots and pans, food containers, dishes, and other heavier everyday items. Drawers simply make lower storage more accessible.
They’re also easier on your back, since you’re not bending and reaching as much. For many homeowners, that convenience alone makes them worth the extra cost.
A mix of deep drawers, medium drawers, and a few specialized pull-outs often creates a kitchen that feels far more functional than a row of basic lower cabinets.
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.
