Custom Kitchens designed, built and installed for Toronto — narrow Edwardian houses, strict condo boards, and a serious indoor humidity swing. Our Toronto showroom is on Dundas Street West.
Ontario kitchens have to survive an indoor humidity swing that most markets never see — a heated winter can take a house very dry, and summer brings it straight back. Solid timber doors, panels and open shelving are detailed for that movement, because a rigid construction will telegraph it within a year. The housing is the other constant: the older city stock is narrow and out of square, and the newer suburban stock is large and open, so the two need genuinely different approaches to the same room.
Toronto's older houses are narrow, tall and rarely square, with kitchens at the back and basements that matter. Site templating is standard, and a run that measures true on the plan will not be true on the wall.
The condominium stock is enormous and the buildings run strict rules: certificates of insurance, booked service elevators, protected corridors, restricted hours and, in many buildings, no moves at weekends. The install is scheduled around the building.
Heated winters take indoor humidity very low, and summers bring it back up. Solid timber elements are detailed for that swing, and a panel that was fine in a Florida house is not automatically fine here.
None of this changes by location. It is the standard every custom kitchen leaves the shop to, Toronto included.
A custom kitchen is not a better-made version of a stock one — it is a different process. The plan is drawn around how the room is actually used and what appliances are going in it, and the cabinetry is then made to that drawing. Nothing is sized to a catalogue module, which is why a custom kitchen fits a room that stock cabinetry can only approximate.
The grain match approved on a sample is the grain match delivered, because the same shop sprays every panel in the run.
Every cutout, clearance and ventilation run comes from the appliance list, so we ask for it at the first meeting rather than at the end.
Cabinet widths follow the plan. There are no filler panels covering the difference between a catalogue size and the wall.

We work throughout Toronto, including Forest Hill, Rosedale, The Annex, Leaside and Etobicoke's Kingsway. The housing here is Edwardian and Victorian houses in the old city, post-war homes in Leaside and Etobicoke, and a very large condominium stock, and the cabinetry is specified for it rather than to a national standard.
Our Toronto showroom is at 2967 Dundas Street West. The samples are worth handling before you choose — or send the drawings and we will price it first.
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.
