Custom kitchen cabinets in Laval, built for the builders

The owners are general contractors. They had their own cabinet supplier, and after one project with us they chose to work only with us. This is their new construction: a double waterfall island, and a wall where every line aligns.

When the builders choose their builder

The owners heard about us from their son, who has been part of our team for years. They are general contractors from Québec with their own cabinet supplier, and after one project together they decided to work only with us. This kitchen went into their new construction: a large island with a mitred waterfall on both ends, the sink moved off centre to keep the top whole, and doors cut as single panels with a scored line so the joints align across the entire wall. When a support column appeared in the ceiling after the plan was final, we adjusted the design before fabrication and kept the three week schedule.

Questions about this project

Questions about this Laval waterfall-island kitchen

What is a waterfall island?

A waterfall island carries the countertop stone down the side of the island to the floor, with a mitred joint so the veining turns the corner without breaking. Here it happens on both ends, cut from matched Radianz slabs. Our comparison of kitchen countertop materials in Montréal covers which stones take a waterfall best.

Where should the sink go on a kitchen island?

Not always in the middle. The owners asked for a centred sink, and we suggested one end instead, because a centred sink cuts the island into two small surfaces. Off centre, the top stays one long uninterrupted plane for prep, serving and homework. Our guide to planning a kitchen before you order walks through decisions like this one.

What is Radianz Alluring quartz?

Alluring is an engineered quartz from the Radianz line, a soft white ground with delicate grey veining. It is non porous and never needs sealing. In this kitchen it runs across the counters, the backsplash and both waterfall ends.

What happens if something needs service after installation?

We come back. A year after this installation, one drawer front sagged, not the mechanism, simply too much weight loaded in it, and we fixed it free of charge. Our cabinet doors carry a 10 year warranty, and countertops and hardware keep their manufacturer coverage, which we pass on to you at the end of the project.

How much do custom kitchen cabinets cost in Laval?

There is no honest single number, because a kitchen is priced by what is in it. The main drivers are the linear feet of cabinetry, the box material, the door material, the countertop, the hardware, and how much of the appliance run is integrated. A mitred waterfall island adds both stone and labour, since the slab has to be cut and joined so the veining continues down the leg. We measure the room, draw it, and give you a written price. The visit and the quote are both free, and our planning guide explains what to decide before you ask for one.

Does a waterfall island suit a new construction kitchen?

It does, and it is one of the few details that reads as finished rather than decorated. The stone turns the corner and runs to the floor, so the island becomes one object instead of a counter sitting on a box, and it protects the panel that takes the most knocks in a busy family kitchen. Our comparison of kitchen countertop materials puts quartz next to quartzite, Dekton and porcelain.

Do you build and install kitchens in Laval and on the North Shore?

Yes. Cabinets are cut, assembled and finished in our own Saint-Laurent workshop, then delivered and installed by the same team, which keeps the schedule ours rather than a supplier one. Our article on how a kitchen installation runs walks through the days on site.
