Built-Ins and Wall Units designed, built and installed for Oakville — heritage detailing in the old town and whole-house packages on the lake. Our Toronto showroom is around forty minutes east.
Ontario's older houses have the alcoves, chimney breasts and awkward corners that built-in joinery exists for, and its newer houses have big blank walls that need something to hold them. Both benefit from the same discipline: set the joinery out to the room, plan the services into it, and detail it to match the age of the house rather than the year it was installed.
Lakeside houses in Morrison and Eastlake are large and often rebuilt rather than renovated, which means the cabinetry package covers the whole house rather than one room.
Lake-effect humidity through the shoulder seasons is worth accounting for in solid timber and in anything closed and unventilated.
Old Oakville has heritage properties with real constraints and real character. Interior cabinetry is generally unrestricted, but the detailing has to earn its place in a house with original trim and proportions worth keeping.
What follows applies to every built-ins & wall unit we make, in Oakville and everywhere else.
Built-in joinery is what makes a room feel finished rather than furnished. A media wall, a library, a bar, a window seat, a home office — each one turns an awkward wall or an unused alcove into something the room needs, and each one has to be set out to the architecture rather than dropped in front of it.
Power, data, ventilation and cable routes are designed into the joinery, not chased in afterwards.
In an older property the profiles are matched to what is already there; in a contemporary one the reveals do the work instead.
Shelf spacing, panel widths and reveals are drawn to the wall's real dimensions and to what is going on the shelves.

We work throughout Oakville, including Old Oakville, Morrison, Eastlake, Bronte and Glen Abbey. The housing here is heritage houses in the old town, large lakeside properties in Morrison and Eastlake, and established family housing inland, and the cabinetry is specified for it rather than to a national standard.
Our Toronto showroom is around forty minutes east. The showroom is at 2967 Dundas Street West. Come and see the materials in person, or send the drawings and we will price the job room by room.
Every project is photographed room by room with the materials and the detailing listed, so you can see how a job like this is actually put together before you commit to one.

You can also search every finish we specify and every appliance we design around.
One shop draws, finishes and installs all of it, which is why the closet matches the kitchen and there is one number to call when something needs adjusting.
Book a free 30-minute consultation with a designer who works in Oakville every week. Send the drawings if you have them — we will itemise the cabinetry by room.
