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.
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Outdated or poorly fitted cabinets can make a kitchen feel tired, even if the rest of the space is fine.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.
The cost of new kitchen cabinets depends on whether you’re refacing, replacing with stock or semi-custom, or going fully custom. In Ontario, refacing might fall in the $5,000 to $15,000 range, while custom replacement cabinetry is more often in the $15,000 to $40,000+ range depending on the kitchen size, materials, storage features, and installation complexity.
That range is broad because kitchens vary so much. A smaller kitchen with straightforward choices will cost much less than a large kitchen with premium finishes, more drawers, and detailed custom work.
That’s why estimates are most useful when they’re based on your actual room, rather than broad averages alone.
The lifespan of your cabinets depends heavily on how they’re built. High-quality custom cabinets — especially those made with plywood boxes, solid joinery, and durable finishes — can last 40 to 50 years or more with normal use.
Over time, the finish may need refreshing, but the structure itself usually holds up extremely well.
By comparison, lower-quality cabinets, particularly those made from particleboard, tend to show wear much sooner — often within 10 to 25 years depending on construction quality, with particleboard in high-moisture areas like around sinks and dishwashers falling toward the shorter end of that range.
In other words, the materials and construction methods make a big difference in how long your cabinets actually last.
Stock cabinets come in fixed sizes and finishes from a manufacturer’s product line. Custom cabinets are built to your exact measurements, which means no fillers, no awkward gaps, and far more flexibility in how storage is designed.
Stock cabinets are built for convenience. They come in standard sizes, usually in 3-inch increments, and are available quickly — often within a week or two. That works well if your kitchen happens to fit those dimensions. But most don’t.
In many Ontario homes, walls aren’t perfectly square, ceilings vary, and layouts have quirks. That’s where stock cabinets fall short. You end up with filler pieces, gaps, and storage that doesn’t quite work the way you want it to.
Custom cabinets take a different approach. Everything is built to fit your exact space, so instead of working around limitations, the design works around you.
Since cabinetry is commonly estimated to make up 30–40% of a kitchen renovation budget — a figure widely cited across the Canadian building industry — this decision matters more than most people expect. If you’re planning to stay in your home long-term, custom cabinets often deliver better value through improved storage, better fit, and a more intentional result.
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.
