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 — 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.
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.
Look at the quality of past work and ask to see examples of completed projects. Ask specifically about the construction methods and materials used — a vague answer is a warning sign. Compare quotes based on what is included, not just the total price. Two quotes that look different often reflect different scopes of work, different materials, or different installation standards. Choose a contractor who communicates clearly and is specific about what is and is not included.
The right cabinet contractor should make you feel informed and confident, not rushed or unclear. Start by looking at past work. Ask to see completed projects, and pay attention to the quality of the details — things like fit, finish, consistency, and overall craftsmanship. It also helps to ask specific questions about materials, construction methods, and what’s included in the quote.
Clear communication matters just as much as skill. A good contractor should be able to explain their process, answer questions directly, and tell you what is and is not included without being vague.
When comparing quotes, try not to focus only on price. Two estimates can look similar on paper but include very different materials, hardware, or installation standards. The more clearly everything is spelled out, the easier it is to compare fairly.
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.
The smartest way to compare options is to look beyond the total price. Ask what each quote actually includes — materials, cabinet construction, hardware, installation, finish quality, accessories, warranty, and anything else that affects the final result. Two prices may look very different because the scopes are different, not because one company is simply more or less expensive.
It helps to compare each quote line by line if possible. That gives you a much clearer sense of where the value is and where the differences really come from.
A fair comparison is never just about cost. It’s about understanding what you’re paying for and how well it fits your priorities.
Chase Cabinetry staff are graduates of Humber College Cabinet Making and Industrial Woodworking programs, which are well respected in Ontario. That kind of formal training matters because cabinetmaking is both a craft and a technical trade. It involves more than design — it also requires a solid understanding of materials, joinery, finishing, and how cabinetry performs over time.
When that training is combined with hands-on project experience, it gives homeowners added confidence that the work is being done with both skill and professional grounding.
