Custom Kitchen Cabinets
Edmonton Custom Cabinets designs and installs custom kitchen cabinets around the way your household cooks, stores, and entertains. Options include deep drawer bases for pots and pans, pull-out garbage and recycling, tray dividers, spice storage, appliance garages, and full-height pantry cabinets. Each layout can be planned around appliances, countertop dimensions, traffic flow, and available wall space to create practical storage without wasting valuable kitchen space.
Bathroom Vanity Cabinets
Custom bathroom vanities provide more usable storage by designing the cabinetry around sinks, plumbing, and the dimensions of the room. Options include floating vanities, double-sink cabinets, linen towers, soft-close drawers, and U-shaped storage designed around sink P-traps. From compact bath vanity cabinets to larger ensuite installations, we design each vanity around your storage needs and available floor space.
Pantry & Kitchen Storage Cabinets
Custom pantry cabinets turn available wall space into organized storage for groceries, small appliances, cookware, and everyday kitchen supplies. Edmonton Custom Cabinets can design floor-to-ceiling pantry towers, adjustable shelving, pull-out drawers, vertical tray storage, and dedicated appliance zones. Coffee stations and concealed appliance garages can also keep frequently used equipment accessible without permanently occupying valuable countertop space.
Mudroom & Laundry Room Cabinets
Edmonton Custom Cabinets completes mudrooms and laundry rooms that work harder when storage is designed around everyday routines. Custom cabinetry can include mudroom lockers, bench seating, boot storage, coat storage, tall cleaning-supply cabinets, laundry hampers, and upper cabinets for detergents and linens. Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry can also provide dedicated space for seasonal clothing and household supplies that otherwise end up taking over closets and countertops.
Custom Garage Cabinets & Workshop Storage
Garage cabinets create dedicated storage for tools, automotive supplies, sports equipment, seasonal items, and household overflow. Custom layouts can combine tall utility cabinets, locking storage, heavy-duty drawers, workbench cabinetry, and wall-mounted storage. For Edmonton and surrounding-area homeowners who use their garage as both a workshop and storage area, cabinetry can be planned around vehicles, tools, equipment, and available wall space.
Entertainment Centres & Custom Built-Ins
Custom entertainment centres and living-room built-ins create storage that looks integrated with the home instead of added afterward. Edmonton Custom Cabinets designs options including floating media cabinets, floor-to-ceiling shelving, concealed wire management, ventilated compartments for AV equipment, display shelving, and integrated lighting. Built-in cabinetry can also be incorporated around fireplaces and family-room walls where additional storage and display space are needed.

Our Custom Cabinet Design & Installation Process
1. Consultation & Project Planning
Edmonton Custom Cabinets starts with a detailed consultation to define the room, cabinet style, storage needs, budget, appliances, plumbing, and electrical requirements. For kitchens, we also map high-use zones for cookware, pantry storage, waste and recycling, small appliances, and food preparation so the cabinet layout is designed around how you actually cook, organize, and use the space.
2. Precision On-Site Measuring
Walls, ceiling heights, windows, door openings, appliance locations, plumbing, and other fixed conditions are carefully measured before the cabinet layout is finalized. Accurate on-site measurements help Edmonton Custom Cabinets account for fillers, countertop dimensions, appliance clearances, plumbing connections, and uneven walls so each cabinet run is designed for a precise fit.
3. 3D Cabinet Design & Final Layout
The measurements are converted into a detailed cabinet plan showing cabinet widths, drawer locations, pantry storage, islands, vanities, and built-ins before the project is approved. Edmonton Custom Cabinets uses 3D renderings and elevations to help visualize the finished layout and review details such as door styles, drawer hardware, countertops, sinks, appliance clearances, and storage accessories before fabrication begins.
4. Materials, Hardware & Storage Details
Cabinet construction, door profiles, finishes, handles, hinges, drawer slides, and interior organizers are selected before production. Where specified, Edmonton Custom Cabinets can incorporate full-extension soft-close drawer systems designed for substantial loads; Blum’s MOVENTO system, for example, is available in 40 kg and 70 kg load classes, while some TANDEM systems are rated to 100 lb under ANSI/BHMA testing. This is also where deep drawer bases, pull-out waste centres, tray dividers, pantry pull-outs, appliance garages, and specialty storage can be built directly into the design.
5. Fabrication & Quality Check
Once the design is approved, cabinet components are produced to the finalized dimensions and checked before installation. Custom cabinet projects in Edmonton can vary in production time depending on materials, finishes, hardware availability, project size, and design complexity. As a general Canadian planning benchmark, custom cabinetry commonly requires roughly 6–12 weeks for fabrication, although the actual schedule should be confirmed once the design, materials, and project requirements are finalized.
6. Professional Cabinet Installation & Final Fit
Installation is where small tolerances become visible. Edmonton Custom Cabinets levels, secures, aligns, and adjusts cabinetry so doors and drawer fronts maintain consistent reveals while fillers and finished panels close gaps against walls and ceilings. As a technical reference, some cabinetry systems specify approximately 1/8-inch gaps between adjacent cabinet fronts, illustrating the precision involved in achieving an even finished appearance. Final adjustments can include soft-close hardware, drawer alignment, door reveals, finished panels, toe kicks, handles, and other hardware before the project is completed.
Cabinet Materials & Construction Options
TFL / Melamine Cabinetry: Durable & Easy to Maintain
Thermally Fused Laminate (TFL), commonly called melamine, creates a durable, easy-to-clean cabinet surface by fusing decorative resin paper directly to an engineered core. Modern EIR (Embossed-in-Register) finishes align the surface texture with the printed wood grain, creating a more realistic oak or walnut appearance than traditional melamine. Edmonton Custom Cabinets can use TFL for garage cabinets, closets, laundry rooms, pantry interiors, and other high-use storage areas where scratch resistance, consistent colour, and easy maintenance are important.
Rift-Cut White Oak Veneer: Natural Grain & Modern Style
Rift-cut white oak veneer combines the natural grain and warmth of real oak with the dimensional stability of an engineered panel, making it well suited for slab doors, tall pantry fronts, kitchen islands, and large finished panels. Veneered panels can also be grain-matched across multiple doors to create continuous vertical or horizontal grain patterns that are difficult to achieve with solid lumber. Alberta cabinetmakers recognize rift-sawn oak for its stability through seasonal humidity changes, while natural rift-white-oak kitchens and slim-Shaker door styles continue to be popular choices for contemporary cabinetry.
High-Pressure Laminate Cabinets: Built for High-Use Areas
High-Pressure Laminate (HPL) is a durable decorative surface bonded to a cabinet substrate under heat and pressure, making it a strong option for garage cabinetry, commercial millwork, laundry rooms, offices and other high-use spaces. Modern HPL is available in matte colours, woodgrains and textured finishes while providing strong resistance to stains and everyday wear. Alberta Infrastructure specifications even call for durable 2–3 mm colour-matched PVC edging on millwork panels in high-use areas, showing how edge construction can matter just as much as the surface itself.

Custom Cabinets FAQ
What is the difference between custom cabinets and stock cabinets?
Stock kitchen cabinets are generally manufactured in predetermined sizes, commonly in 3 inch width increments, which can require filler strips when a wall does not match those dimensions. Custom cabinets are designed around the actual measurements of the room, allowing non standard widths, floor to ceiling cabinetry, appliance panels, unusual corners, and storage tailored to the homeowner. That flexibility is especially useful for older Edmonton homes, major renovations, infill properties, and new builds where walls, ceilings, plumbing, or appliance openings do not line up neatly with standard cabinet sizes.
How long does it take to design, build, and install custom cabinets?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project. A complete custom cabinet project can take roughly 14 to 22 weeks, including about 4 to 8 weeks for design, 8 to 12 weeks for fabrication, and 1 to 2 weeks for installation. Other custom cabinet projects may take approximately 6 to 12 weeks from final design approval to installation. Edmonton kitchen cabinets with specialty finishes, full height pantry cabinets, bathroom cabinets, integrated appliances, or large custom built ins can require additional planning and production time.
Should kitchen cabinets go all the way to the ceiling?
Floor to ceiling kitchen cabinets can maximize vertical storage while eliminating the dust collecting space commonly left above standard upper cabinets. Tall and pantry cabinets are often around 84 inches high, but custom cabinetry can extend higher to match the ceiling height and proportions of the room. In Edmonton kitchens with 9 or 10 foot ceilings, stacked cabinets, upper extensions, or full height pantry cabinets can take advantage of the extra space for seasonal dishes, serving pieces, and appliances that are used less frequently.
What cabinet material is best for kitchen cabinets?
There is no single cabinet material that is best for every component. Cabinet grade plywood is commonly used for cabinet boxes because of its structural strength and strong screw holding ability, while MDF or HDF can provide a smooth, stable surface for painted cabinet doors. Solid wood, wood veneer, high pressure laminate, and thermally fused laminate can also be used throughout Edmonton custom cabinet projects depending on the design, application, and desired finish. A plywood label alone does not guarantee a high quality cabinet, since panel grade, material thickness, hardware, joinery, and finish quality all play an important role in the durability of the finished cabinetry.
What should I plan before ordering new kitchen cabinets?
Start with the items that determine cabinet dimensions, including the refrigerator, range, wall oven, dishwasher, microwave, sink, hood fan, plumbing, and electrical locations. Alberta cabinetmakers recommend bringing appliance specifications, floor plans, room photographs, and design ideas to early consultations because appliance dimensions can directly affect cabinet openings and clearances. This is also the time to plan deep drawer bases, pull out garbage and recycling, tray dividers, pantry cabinets, spice storage, appliance garages, and dedicated coffee stations.
Can a bathroom vanity be designed around existing plumbing?
Yes. A custom bathroom vanity or bath vanity can be designed around sink drains, P traps, water lines, wall locations, and nearby fixtures instead of sacrificing valuable cabinet storage. Edmonton bathroom cabinets can include U shaped sink drawers, offset drawer boxes, floating vanities, double sink vanity cabinets, linen towers, and dedicated electrical storage for grooming tools. Accurate vanity measurements should account for width, depth, height, drawer clearance, cabinet doors, plumbing locations, and adjacent fixtures before the bathroom cabinetry is ordered.
What are the best storage features to include in kitchen cabinets?
Deep drawer bases are one of the most practical kitchen cabinet upgrades because pots, pans, mixing bowls, and small appliances can be reached from above instead of getting buried at the back of a lower cabinet. Other high value storage features include full extension drawers, pull out garbage and recycling, vertical tray dividers, cutlery organizers, pull out pantry cabinets, spice drawers, and appliance garages. Edmonton homeowners are increasingly choosing drawer heavy kitchen layouts, soft close hardware, pull outs, and easier access to frequently used items rather than simply adding more traditional cabinet doors.
Can custom cabinets be built for garages and workshops?
Yes. A custom garage cabinet system can be designed around vehicles, workbenches, tools, seasonal equipment, electrical outlets, and available wall space. Tall utility cabinets are especially useful for Edmonton garages, with standard tall cabinets commonly around 84 inches high and custom heights available where ceiling clearance allows. Garage cabinetry can also incorporate heavy duty drawers, locking storage, dedicated tool cabinets, charging stations, sports equipment storage, and workbench bases to provide organized enclosed storage instead of relying on open shelving alone.
Can you build pantry, bar, and specialty cabinets to match the kitchen?
Yes. Pantry cabinets, bar cabinets, coffee stations, shoe cabinets, mudroom storage, and entertainment built ins can be designed to coordinate with Edmonton kitchen cabinets using matching door profiles, colours, hardware, and materials. Custom cabinetry allows each piece to be sized to the actual opening rather than forcing a standard cabinet into the available space. Pantry cabinets can be configured for food and small appliance storage, while bar cabinets can incorporate glassware drawers, bottle storage, beverage refrigeration, sinks, and concealed electrical outlets.
What should I look for when comparing cabinet companies?
Compare more than the door colour and final price. Ask about cabinet box material, panel thickness, drawer construction, hinges, full extension slides, exposed end panels, fillers, toe kicks, installation, delivery, warranty, and whether specialty organizers are included in the quote. Also confirm who handles the final measurements and cabinet installation. Edmonton Custom Cabinets emphasizes accurate field measurements because wall variations, ceiling conditions, plumbing locations, appliance clearances, and installation tolerances can all affect the final fit and appearance of the cabinetry.
