Kitchen cabinets in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, refaced or rebuilt

Twenty minutes down Sources from the workshop. We check the boxes before we quote, and we tell you when new doors will do what a new kitchen would.

What the houses need

Cream classic kitchen with a plaster hood, a white range and a warm hardwood floor, by Limakdeco — A cream kitchen with a built hood. In a Dollard split-level the hood is often the only thing tall enough to give the room a centre, so it is worth building rather than buying.

Close view of a slim brass bar pull mounted on a matte charcoal drawer front, by Limakdeco — A slim bar pull on a matte front. On a refacing job the hardware is the second decision after the door, and changing it is what stops a refaced kitchen from looking like the old one repainted.

The area

What a kitchen in Dollard-des-Ormeaux usually needs

Dollard-des-Ormeaux is about twenty minutes from the workshop, up the 40 and north on Sources. It is one of the areas we visit most in a given month, partly because there are a lot of houses of the same generation there and partly because half the calls turn out to be about refacing rather than replacement.

The city filled in mainly between the early sixties and the late seventies, so the houses are split-levels, bungalows and two storey cottages on mature lots, most of them extended or finished in the basement at some point. The kitchens were drawn for that period: a run along one wall, a second run under the window, a small eating area behind a half wall, and an upper cabinet that stops well short of the ceiling. Ceilings are eight feet, which means every inch of height is worth something, and the walls are almost always straight enough to work with, which is a mercy after a week in older housing.

Two conversations happen at nearly every visit here. The first is whether the layout should change at all, because in a lot of these houses it is genuinely fine once the half wall goes and the fridge moves off the corner. The second is refacing. A large share of Dollard kitchens were built with plywood or thick particle core boxes that are still perfectly square after fifty years, and if the interior is sound, new doors, new fronts, new hardware and a new counter change the room completely for a fraction of a full rebuild. We check the boxes with a level and a screwdriver before we say either way, because the answer is not obvious from the doors.

What we usually end up drawing

Matte or satin flat panel fronts, or a slim shaker where the house is more traditional. Uppers taken to the ceiling. A peninsula in place of the half wall, or a small island where the eating area sat. Deep drawers under the cooktop. Interiors reorganised with roll outs and a proper spice pull rather than the deep dark cupboard that has been swallowing pots since 1971. And a quartz counter in place of the laminate, which is usually the single change people notice first.

How the visit works

We come to the house, measure every wall and check the condition of the existing boxes. Free, usually within the week.
You get elevations drawn in AutoCAD, so the kitchen is settled on paper before anything is cut.
Where refacing makes sense, you get both prices side by side and we do not argue for the larger one.
Everything is built in Saint-Laurent, then delivered and installed by our own people.
The doors carry a ten year warranty, and the hardware keeps its manufacturer coverage.

What we do here

Every service, in Dollard-des-Ormeaux

The same eight services we run everywhere else, delivered from a workshop twenty minutes down Sources. In Dollard, refacing and full replacement come up in roughly equal measure.

White kitchen with a grey island, a quartz top and two upholstered stools, by Limakdeco — Two tones, with the darker one on the island. It costs nothing extra, it hides the wear that always arrives on the busiest run, and it gives an eight foot ceiling somewhere to breathe.

Wall mounted navy double bathroom vanity with two illuminated round mirrors and black taps, by Limakdeco — A double vanity in navy. Bathrooms in these houses are usually small, and a wall hung unit with lit mirrors does more for the room than a larger vanity would.

Questions from Dollard-des-Ormeaux

What people in Dollard ask us first

Do you work in Dollard-des-Ormeaux yourselves, or subcontract it?

Ours, from end to end. The measure, the AutoCAD drawings, the fabrication in Saint-Laurent and the installation are all Limakdéco. On a refacing job that matters even more than on a new kitchen, because the fronts have to be measured against boxes that were built by someone else fifty years ago.

Should we reface or replace?

Open a door and look at the box. If it is plywood or a dense particle core, still square, with shelves that are not bowing, refacing is usually the better decision and it will cost roughly a third of a new kitchen. If the boxes are thin melamine, if the layout is the actual problem, or if you want drawers where there are doors, replacing is the honest answer. We check at the measure, tell you which, and quote both if you want to see the numbers side by side. Here is what refacing covers.

How far is your workshop from Dollard-des-Ormeaux?

About twenty minutes. We are at 4130 Boulevard Thimens in Saint-Laurent, straight down Sources and east on the 40, with free parking at the door. Door samples, hinges, finished cabinet sections and stone slabs are all out on the floor.

How much does a kitchen cost here?

A refacing job on a standard Dollard kitchen is a much smaller number than a full replacement, and both depend on the same things: linear feet, materials, the number of drawers, the hardware and the counter. We measure, we draw, and we hand you a written price. Both steps are free, and if refacing is the right call we will say so even though it is the smaller job.

Can the uppers really go to the ceiling with an eight foot ceiling?

Yes, and it is the change we recommend most often in this housing stock. The gap above a thirty inch upper collects grease and dust and gives nothing back. Taking the run to ninety six inches adds a usable shelf, removes a horizontal line, and makes the ceiling read higher. Where a bulkhead is in the way we check what is inside it before deciding to remove or absorb it.

Do we need a permit from the City of Dollard-des-Ormeaux?

Replacing or refacing cabinetry is interior finishing work and normally needs nothing. Moving a load bearing wall, changing plumbing runs, altering an opening or anything visible from outside goes through the city. We tell you which side of that line your project falls on at the visit, before any drawing is paid for.

Can you do the basement and the laundry at the same time?

Regularly. Most of these houses have a finished basement, and a bar unit, a laundry run or a storage wall cut in the same batch as the kitchen costs far less than the same work ordered on its own a year later. It also means the doors actually match, which they never quite do across two orders.

Which nearby areas do you cover?

Pierrefonds is next door, Kirkland and Pointe-Claire are just south, and we work across the rest of the island, Laval and the South Shore. The service areas page lists every one.
