Kitchen Installation in Montréal: Cabinets and Countertops
Replacing a kitchen is one of the larger projects a homeowner takes on, and getting the installation right is what separates a clean result from a frustrating one.
At Limakdéco, we handle custom kitchen installation in Montréal from the first measurement to the last cabinet door, in homes across Saint-Laurent and the neighbouring areas. You work with one team and one plan, instead of chasing a handful of trades on your own.
Kitchen installation, kitchen fitting, cabinet and countertop installation: whichever term you use, this is the part where the drawings become a real room. Our own installers do the work; we do not subcontract it, which is why the finish on site matches what left the workshop.
What a custom kitchen installation in Montréal includes
A full install is much more than dropping cabinets into place. We take care of the cabinetry, the countertops, and all the fitting and finishing that ties them together.
That means cabinet boxes set level and secured to the wall, drawers and doors adjusted so they close softly, a countertop templated and joined properly, and the small finishing details (toe kicks, fillers, crown, hardware) that most people only notice when they are done poorly.
If your project also touches plumbing or electrical, we coordinate those trades around the installation schedule so nothing is left half finished.
Our step-by-step process
- Consultation. We start in our Saint-Laurent showroom or at your home, talk through how you actually cook and live, and look at materials and budget honestly.
- Measurement. A precise site measure. Older Montréal homes are rarely square, so we account for sloping floors and out-of-plumb walls before a single item is ordered.
- Design approval. You see the layout, the cabinet finishes, and the countertop in 3D before we build anything.
- Fabrication. Cabinets and counters are built to your exact dimensions, and the stone is cut and polished off-site.
- Installation. Our installers fit the cabinets, set the counters, and complete the finishing, usually over a few focused days.
- Final check. We walk the kitchen with you, adjust any door or drawer that needs it, and hand it over clean.
How long does a kitchen installation take?
This is usually the first question we get. The installation itself, once everything has been fabricated, runs about three to seven days for an average Montréal kitchen. The full project, from your first consultation to the final walkthrough, is more often six to ten weeks, because custom cabinets and stone countertops take real time to build well.
A larger layout, or one with imported materials, can stretch beyond that. We give you a genuine date range at design approval and keep you posted if anything shifts.
Cabinet and countertop installation, together or on their own
Most projects are a full fit-out: we install the boxes, level and shim them, hang the doors, then template the countertop and come back to set it. But the two can be split. If your cabinets are already in place and you only need a countertop installer, we can template, fabricate and install quartz, granite, quartzite, porcelain or Dekton on top of what you have.
Countertop-only jobs usually take two visits about a week apart: one for laser templating, one for installation, sink cut-outs and the silicone joints. If you are still choosing a material, our guide to kitchen countertops in Montréal compares the options side by side.
Areas we serve in Montréal and Saint-Laurent
Our studio sits on Boulevard Thimens in Saint-Laurent, so a good share of our installations happen right in the neighbourhood. We also work regularly across the West Island, in Pointe-Claire, Kirkland, Beaconsfield, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, and Pierrefonds, and in central neighbourhoods such as Ahuntsic, Villeray, Outremont, Town of Mount Royal, Hampstead, Côte-Saint-Luc, and Westmount, as well as across the bridge in Laval and Longueuil.
If you are not sure whether we cover your street, send us a message and we will tell you straight away. Recent installs include a custom kitchen in Pointe-Claire and a waterfall island kitchen in Laval.
Looking for kitchen fitters near you?
We install from our Saint-Laurent base across Montréal, the West Island, Laval, Longueuil and the South Shore. A typical week looks like this: cabinets go in on day one and two, countertops are templated once the boxes are level, and the final visit covers handles, toe-kicks, mouldings and adjustments.
We also install cabinets we did not build, provided the boxes are square and the hardware is complete. Send photos and the supplier’s spec sheet and we will tell you honestly whether it is a job we can stand behind. If you want the cabinets made as well, start with our custom made kitchen cabinets page.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a kitchen installation take?
The on-site installation usually takes three to seven days. Counting design and fabrication, the full project runs about six to ten weeks for a typical Montréal kitchen.
Do you handle both cabinets and countertops?
Yes. We design, fabricate, and install the cabinets and the countertops together, plus the finishing, so the whole kitchen comes from one team and lines up the way it should.
Which Montréal areas do you serve?
We install across Saint-Laurent and the West Island (Pointe-Claire, Kirkland, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Beaconsfield, Pierrefonds), central neighbourhoods like Ahuntsic, Villeray, Outremont, Town of Mount Royal, Hampstead, Côte-Saint-Luc and Westmount, plus Laval and Longueuil, and other parts of Greater Montréal on request.
Can you install a countertop only?
Yes. If your cabinets are sound and level, we template, fabricate and install the countertop on its own, including sink and cooktop cut-outs. It is normally two visits about a week apart.
Do you install cabinets you did not make?
Often, yes. We ask for photos and the manufacturer’s specifications first, because we only take on installs we can guarantee. Flat-pack boxes with damaged panels or missing hardware are the usual reason we say no.
Do you offer kitchen installation near me?
We cover the island of Montréal, the West Island, Laval, Longueuil and the South Shore from our Saint-Laurent workshop. Tell us the postal code and we will confirm the schedule before quoting.
