About Kitchener Kitchen Cabinets

A direct booking line for one vetted, insured cabinet maker working across Kitchener and the surrounding townships.

Kitchener Kitchen Cabinets is a booking line. It is not a cabinet shop or a renovation company and it does not pretend to be one. The site exists so that someone in Kitchener with a dated oak kitchen, a builder kitchen that needs a pantry, or a new kitchen to fit out gets to one vetted, insured cabinet maker quickly, instead of filling in a form on a national site and being called by a dozen renovation companies for a fortnight.

What that means practically: the work is done by a cabinet maker who carries their own insurance and WSIB coverage, measures the kitchen on site, quotes in writing with drawings where the job needs them, and is accountable for the boxes, the doors, the finish and the fit. Your details are not sold on and you are not entered into an auction.

The site is deliberately narrow. It covers cabinetry and millwork: custom and semi-custom cabinets, refacing, islands, pantries, built-ins, hardware, and coordinating with your countertop fabricator. It does not cover plumbing, electrical, flooring, drywall or structural work, and nobody booked through it will offer to do those on the side. Where a kitchen project needs those trades, the site says so and the City of Kitchener's permit list and the Electrical Safety Authority are pointed to rather than glossed over. The material terms used here, hardwood plywood, particleboard and MDF, are the definitions in Canada's composite wood regulations, so that a quote means something specific.

Some jobs are declined. Refacing boxes that are water damaged, installing cabinets around plumbing or electrical that is being changed without the right trade and approval, and building to a layout that the cabinet maker can see will not work are all better turned down than started.

How this works

When you call 289-513-0098 or send the form, your details go straight to the cabinet maker covering Kitchener, not to a list and not to a call centre. Calls go to voicemail if they are in the shop or on an install, which most of the day they are, and your message and number reach them immediately by text and email. Expect a call back the same day or the next working day. The next step is a measure in your kitchen, because a cabinet quote without one is a guess: the visit records the room, assesses the existing boxes if refacing is on the table, settles layout, materials and hardware, flags anything that needs another trade or a permit, and confirms the current lead time for the line and finish. The written quote, with drawings where needed, follows from that.

What we won't do

• Publish reviews we didn't earn. When we have them, they'll be real ones with names.
• Quote a firm price before someone has seen the job.
• Send anyone into your property who we would not have in our own.
