Questions, answered plainly.

It depends on the size of the piece, the materials, the finish and the work inside it. We quote from measured drawings rather than a per foot rate, so the price reflects the actual room. A painted poplar built-in and a rift white oak kitchen are different jobs even at the same length.

We start from your drawings, photos or dimensions, measure the room, and price from drawings that show exactly what will be built. If anything changes, the drawing and the price change together.

Usually, because everything is made for one room. What the difference buys is fit, better materials and a piece that uses the space completely.

The schedule is set by four stages: site measure and drawings, approval, shop fabrication, then install. Approval is usually the stage that moves most, because it depends on how quickly finishes and hardware are decided.

Yes. We plan drawings, fabrication and install backwards from the date, and tell you early what has to be decided by when.

Because the work is built and dry fitted in our shop, time on site is a small part of the whole project. The schedule you receive with the quote sets out the install days.

Millwork is woodwork made to measure for a specific building, as opposed to stock items bought off a shelf. It covers cabinetry, panelling, trim, stairs, doors and fitted furniture.

Yes. Nothing is cut until you have approved elevations showing the layout, the finishes and the hardware.

Yes. Everything is made and dry fitted in our shop in Mississauga before it goes to site, and the same team installs it.

Yes. We install, scribe to the walls and finish on site rather than handing a flat pack to somebody else.

Yes, by appointment, so someone is free to walk you through drawings, samples and the work on the bench.

Solid hardwood, veneered panel, painted poplar and MDF, and engineered substrates where stability matters more than grain. The right choice depends on the piece and where it sits.

Paint suits most interiors and is more forgiving of seasonal movement. Stain shows the timber, so it needs higher grade material and tighter joints.

Yes. We take a section from the existing profile, grind a knife to match and run new stock from it, which is how new work disappears into an older house.

Toronto and the region around it, up to about 120 km from our shop in Mississauga: Peel, Halton, Hamilton, Niagara, York, Durham, Simcoe, Dufferin, Wellington, Waterloo and Brant. Our service areas page lists every town.
