We are a dealer for multiple leading cabinetry lines; each company has entry level to high-end cabinets to work with varying budgets and styles. Cabinetry varies in finishes, construction, and wood species (Alder, Walnut, Cherry, Fir, Maple, Oak, etc). We will match each project to the line that meets your style and budget.

All of our Indoor lines are manufactured in Canada, mostly in the lower mainland of Vancouver, meeting or exceeding industry standards. Our outdoor cabinet line NatureKast is Manufactured in Saint Catharines, Ontario and our other line Danver is  manufactured in Connecticut in the United States.

Colours and trends are always changing and we are constantly updating our knowledge in these areas by attending the kitchen and bathroom trade shows, attending seminars and workshops. We pride ourselves on being leading edge of all styles, colours, and trends.

There are many types of countertops available and they all have different price points, performance characteristics, colour selection, places where they are used and lead time to installation.

• Quartz countertops – High end product manufactured from approximately 96% natural materials. Non-porous and only product approved by FDA for non-bacterial growth. Available in a variety of brands that provide an extensive selection of colours and patterns. Commonly used in Kitchens, bathrooms, and built-ins. Two week lead time from template to install.
• Granite countertops – Premium product and pricing, with beautiful colors, patterns, and a natural look. Needs to be sealed, as it is a porous material. Sealing is very easy and only necessary every 3-5 years. Commonly used in kitchens, baths and built-ins. Two week lead time from template to install.

This can change depending on Cabinet lead time which is generally around 8-12 weeks from the day the order is placed. From the time the order is placed until completion is about 2 – 5 months. The time without a useable Kitchen is generally around 4-6 weeks depending on the scope of work. These times are constantly changing based on supply chain so please make sure to check with your designer.
