Approve drawings once
Sign-off freezes the design. Changes after cutting begins cost real money and real weeks.
Process
Seven steps, and what each one asks of you.
Custom work goes wrong when nobody says out loud who does what and when. So here it is in writing.
01
Conversation
We talk for twenty minutes — on the phone, or standing in your kitchen. You tell us what bothers you about the room and what you want it to do. No sales script, no financing pitch.
02
Site measure
William or a lead carpenter measures with a laser and a story pole, photographs every wall, and notes the out-of-square realities of an older house. Measuring is free within 35 miles of the shop.
03
Drawings & fixed quote
You receive elevations, a plan view, a materials schedule and a fixed written price — usually within five business days. Everything included is spelled out in plain English, line by line.
04
Shop build
Your job gets a bench, a number and a build folder. Panels are cut, edges banded, doors machined, drawer boxes dovetailed. We send photos at the halfway mark so nothing is a surprise.
05
Finishing
Sanded to 180, sealed, sanded again, then two topcoats of low-VOC conversion varnish in our booth. Finishing in the shop means no overspray and no fumes in your house.
06
Installation
Two installers, drop cloths, a dust extractor and shoe covers. Most kitchens are set in two to four days. We scribe, shim, adjust every door and leave the site swept.
07
Walkthrough & warranty
We walk the job with you, correct anything on a punch list within ten business days, and hand over a care sheet plus a five-year written workmanship warranty.
Timeline
A realistic calendar for a full kitchen.
This is the schedule we quote most often. Smaller built-in projects compress the shop phase to about ten working days.
Week 0
First call, photos reviewed, site measure booked.
Week 1
Measure completed; drawings started.
Week 2
Drawings and fixed quote delivered; revisions.
Week 3
Deposit received, material ordered, bench slot reserved.
Weeks 4–9
Queue — typical shop backlog. Finish samples approved in this window.
Weeks 10–13
Shop build: panels, doors, drawer boxes, assembly.
Week 14
Finishing and cure time in the booth.
Week 15
Delivery and installation, two to four days on site.
Week 16–17
Countertop template, return visit, punch list closed out.
Your part
Four things that keep a project on schedule.
Pick the finish early
Colour approval on a sample panel, in your own light, before the booth is scheduled.
Confirm appliances
Model numbers, not brands. A half-inch difference in a range width rewrites a cabinet.
Clear the room
Empty, powered and accessible on install morning. We bring everything else.
Payment schedule
Three payments, no surprises.
40% at contract signing
Reserves your bench slot and pays for material. Nothing is due at the estimate or the site measure.
40% when casework leaves the finish booth
Invoiced with photographs of the completed, finished casework before it is loaded for delivery.
20% after the walkthrough
Due once you have walked the job with us and we have agreed the punch list. Net 10.
Accepted methods
Business check, ACH bank transfer, or credit card (a 2.9% processing fee applies to card payments over $2,500). We do not offer or broker financing.
Free, no-obligation estimate
Tell us about the room, and we’ll tell you what it costs.
Most conversations start with a photo and a rough measurement. Send those over and we’ll come back with a realistic range the same week — before anyone books a site visit.
