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.
Yes. Chase Cabinetry is fully licensed and insured. That’s important because it protects both the homeowner and the project. It also gives you peace of mind that the business is operating professionally and responsibly — something every homeowner should confirm before hiring any contractor.
Insurance matters in practical ways too. It helps protect against accidental property damage and ensures proper coverage for the people working on the project.
It’s one of those details that may not feel exciting, but it absolutely matters when you’re inviting someone into your home to do renovation work.
Complex layouts with many corners or angles, premium wood species such as walnut or cherry, painted finishes (which require more labour steps than stained), tall or deep cabinetry, specialty storage accessories, material upgrades like HDF doors or plywood boxes, and detailed finish work all add cost. Drawer-heavy layouts also cost more than door-and-shelf designs.
The biggest cost increases usually come from complexity. That can mean:
– Premium wood species (walnut, cherry) vs. maple or birch
– Painted finishes (more labour steps than stained)
– Material upgrades—choosing plywood over particleboard, or HDF over standard MDF
– Lots of drawers (more precise construction and hardware)
– Specialty storage accessories and organizers
– Taller or deeper cabinetry
– Detailed finish work
– Complex layouts with more corners, angles, or custom sizing
Some upgrades add cost because of materials, while others add cost because of labour. For example, a painted finish often takes more preparation and finishing work than a stained one. A drawer-heavy layout usually costs more than a door-and-shelf layout because of the added hardware and construction.
Material choices within the engineered wood category also affect cost. Choosing HDF doors instead of standard MDF might add $500-$2,000 to a full kitchen, depending on the number of doors. That upgrade is usually justified when you’re in a high-moisture area or planning for long-term durability, but it’s worth understanding the cost-benefit trade-off for your specific situation.
Understanding those cost drivers helps homeowners make better decisions. It gives you a clearer sense of where to invest and where it may make sense to keep things simpler.
Yes. Chase Cabinetry builds custom kitchen cabinets in Welland and works with homeowners throughout the Niagara region. That local experience matters because homes across Niagara vary quite a bit. Some projects involve older homes with uneven walls, tight layouts, or unique architectural details, while others are in newer subdivisions with more contemporary layouts and finish preferences.
A cabinet maker who understands the kinds of homes common in the area can often offer better practical guidance from the start. The design decisions are rarely just about style — they’re also about how the cabinetry needs to work in the kind of home you actually live in.
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.
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 many homeowners, ceiling-height cabinets are worth it. They give you more storage, create a cleaner built-in look, and eliminate that dusty, awkward gap above the upper cabinets. In homes with standard 8-foot ceilings, they can make the whole kitchen feel more finished.
In taller rooms, the top section — generally anything above roughly seven feet of floor height, where most people can’t comfortably reach without a step stool — usually works best for items you don’t need every day, such as seasonal dishes, serving pieces, or small appliances you only bring out occasionally.
That said, full-height cabinetry does cost more. It takes more material, more finishing, and often more care during installation, especially if the ceiling isn’t perfectly level.
So the choice comes down to both style and function. If you want a more custom look and you’ll use the extra storage, ceiling-height cabinets are often a smart upgrade.
